SUPER, DUPER DOUBLE SECRET MEETING: The NFL owners and trade association members met again on Tuesday night and will attend mediation sessions on Wednesday at an undisclosed, underground bunker otherwise known as a New York City hotel. The not so secret meeting, I'm told, continues along a track I've been reporting for days. A person familiar with the talks said both sides continue to close the gap on significant issues and there remains a slim chance a deal is reached before the 8th circuit rules in July. The feeling I'm getting is that the season is no longer in jeopardy. Clearly, at the very least, the trust has grown between the two sides.

The biggest reason why is the lawyers are not heavily involved in the mediation discussions. That can't be stated enough.

The talks are expected to continue for several more days.

TERRELLE PRYOR: I'm just going to pass along the words of an NFL scout who has watched Pryor extensively. Ready. Here it is: "Very little accuracy...lacks on-field discipline...not as good an athlete as he thinks he is...needs at least two or three more years of college...headed for the CFL...not an NFL quarterback." Other than that, great pro prospect.

See you Thursday.
