NEW YORK -- Dont break out the tailgate gear just yet. An end to the NFL lockout might not be imminent. It does appears much closer than at any point in the last three months, though. Recent progress in labour talks between the league and players has sparked a new sense of optimism, and team owners have been told to be ready to extend their one-day meetings in Chicago next week. The two sides were making progress in labour negotiations being held Tuesday at an undisclosed location in Maryland. Those talks will go through at least Wednesday and quite possibly to the end of the week. A person with knowledge of the talks told The Associated Press that the owners and players are "headed in the right direction" and that lawyers "are back in the room" after being excluded from sessions the past two weeks. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because details of the meeting are not being made public. Two other people familiar with the talks say a framework for a new collective bargaining agreement could be in place before the owners gather next Tuesday. Previous "secret" meetings have taken place in Chicago and New York. Such sessions have been critical in past NFL negotiations, dating back to the 1980s. And the presence of lawyers at Tuesdays talks could indicate the side are hashing out details of a potential agreement. Still, it would be premature to predict that lockout is about to end, the people familiar with the talks told the AP. Yet the atmosphere of negotiations has been more positive than it was previously, creating "a sense of movement," they said. That movement toward an agreement might be in both sides best interest after a federal appeals court judge warned the owners and players they might not like the upcoming decisions in legal actions sparked by the lockout. Indeed, the court could delay any rulings if a new CBA appears to be near. On hand at the meetings were NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell; NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith; several owners, including the Giants John Mara and the Cowboys Jerry Jones; and a large group of players that includes NFLPA President Kevin Mawae, Jeff Saturday, Mike Vrabel, Tony Richardson and Domonique Foxworth. While no deadlines have been set for the opening of training camps, the 32 teams soon will need to decide whether to delay them, particularly those clubs that stage a portion of camp out of town. The lockout, which began March 12, also has cost the league and some teams advertising and sponsorship money, and some players have not collected workout bonuses. At least seven teams have instituted paycuts or furloughs of employees who are not players. Marqise Lee Jaguars Jersey .

While the coaching style of Guy Boucher, and his touted 1-3-1 system, surely deserves some credit for the Lightnings success -- their shot differential was best in the Eastern Conference -- it also is indicative of the talent at his disposal.

The Cowboys are back in a similar situation, and there is even more on the line as Garrett has come full circle. Garretts 24th game, the finale of his first full regular season, is another trip to face the Giants. The winner Sunday night in the matchup of 8-7 teams clinches the NFC East title and the NFCs last playoff spot, which will mean a home game in the wild-card round the following weekend. "Whenever you put yourself in a position like that going into the final game of the season, youve done a lot of good things," Garrett said. "Weve had our share of excellent victories and weve had our share of disappointment just like every team in this league has. And one of the best things our team has done individually and collectively we have played through the adversities and the successes we have had." Its not Garretts style to reminisce about his head coaching debut, a surprising 33-20 win against the Giants. At least publicly, where he instead stresses to his players being their best each day and focusing only on what is directly ahead of them. "It wasnt for the playoffs, so it wasnt as important as this game," defensive end Marcus Spears said Wednesday. "I dont think that has anything to do with this time." The winning debut by Garrett came six days after Wade Phillips was fired and he was promoted from offensive co-ordinator. That provided some hope for a squad that began the 2010 season with Super Bowl expectations and then won only one of its first eight games. Dallas went 5-3 the rest of the way under Garrett. Now comes a winner-take-all finale that Dallas could have been able to avoid. There was a 37-34 home loss three weeks ago against the Giants, who scored two touchdowns in the final 3 1/2 minutes to overcome a 12-point deficit. Had they held on, the Cowboys would have had a two-game division lead with three to play instead of being tied. There was also an overtime loss at Arizona, when Garretts late timeout wiped out a go-ahead field goal by Dan Bailey at the end of regulation; the rookie missed the second attempt. There were two other losses this year when Dallas blew leads of at least 12 points in the fourth quarter — something that happened only twice in the franchises first 50 seasons. In his normal faashion, Garrett dismissed the idea of being frustrated about those blown opportunities and instead is talking about the excitement of whats possibly ahead.dddddddddddd "A lot of things go your way and some things dont go your way. For us, things have gone our way enough to give us this chance," Garrett said. "Its going to be a great challenge, its going to be a great night." Not if the Cowboys lose, like they did three years ago at Philadelphia, in another regular-season finale against an NFC East rival when they only had to win to get into the playoffs. "Its just sheer determination. Coach Garrett talks about will. Its heart, determination," said linebacker Bradie James, one of several key players who were also part of that 2008 game. "They know us, we know them. Its really going to be whoever outlasts the other. Thats how you break it down. I like to keep it as simple as possible. In my mind, thats our solution" Garrett was the offensive co-ordinator for the Cowboys back then, when they lost three of their last four games to miss the playoffs after that 44-6 debacle against the Eagles. "Thats a lot of lifetimes ago. Our team has really changed a lot since then," Garrett said. "Id like to think that weve all grown individually as players, coaches and certainly as a football team. If you go about it the right way every day and approach it the right way and learn from the different experiences you certainly will do that." In the first of his seven seasons as a backup quarterback for the Cowboys, Garrett was part of the 1993 finale on the road against the Giants. That game was also for the division title, with both teams already in the playoffs but fighting for a first-round bye. Despite a separated shoulder, Emmitt Smith ran 32 times for 168 yards and had 10 catches for 61 yards in that game, a 16-13 overtime victory for the Cowboys on the way to their second consecutive Super Bowl title. "It was really one of the great games Ive ever been around as a player or a coach. A lot of people talk about Emmitts performance and it was rare, maybe his best ever," Garrett said. "To be there and witness that was really something special, but it was a great team effort as well. "I dont know that there is a great story to tell our team," he said. "I think they understand the challenges we have every week and the challenges we have this week going up there." cheap jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
