8:20AM: Tuesday: Michael Russo tweets that there was no secret or unannounced meetings yesterday, according to Bill Daly.

Bob McKenzie tweeted his thoughts on the report:

• If I had info to that effect, I’d have reported it. I don’t have that info and I didn’t report it. I have no knowledge of any breakthrough.
• As of this moment, I don’t believe the lockout is any closer to ending than it was, say, on Sunday. We’ll see what happens today in NYC.
• I try not to be in the business of shooting down someone else’s report. I always allow that person may have better info than me. Or not.
• So, just to be clear, I’m not saying the Boston report is untrue or not accurate. I’m saying I can’t get info to support it. That’s all.

8:08PM: Sarah Kwak of SI tweets “Asked if there was ANY MORSEL of truth to WBZ report that deal is imminent, B.Daly: “Not even a single morsel…” Great. And now I’m hungry.”
