Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
This according to Post staffer Mark Maske, who confirmed that owners of the 32 teams, scheduled to attend a meeting in Chicago Tuesday, have been told to leave their schedules open in case the session runs late that night or spills over into the following day. While the owners could vote on an actual labor deal at that meeting, Maske reports it is more likely that owners could give negotiators their opinions and a deal with the players could be completed the following week. Per Maske: "A deal that week, just before the July 4 holiday, appears increasingly realistic, said people on both sides of the dispute. ..." Good news but we'll remind you again that nothing is etched in stone -- especially with laywers returning to the negotiations that resumed today and will continue tomorrow. Stay tuned.
