After two days of renewed not-so-secret labor talks on Long Island, representatives from the NFL and NFLPA* have started to return home.

Albert Breer not Brooks of NFL Network reports that talks have wrapped up for now, but they are expected to resume soon.

There is so much optimism suddenly concerning the labor situation that Florio broke out whip cream and hot-fudge sundae metaphors in his post on the situation Wednesday afternoon.

Florio and Michael Silver of Yahoo! Sports were also optimistic when they dove into the topic Wednesday on PFT Live. Silver says the best move for both sides would be to settle soon, but he doesn’t think mid-July will necessarily be a time where the players feel pressured to make a deal.
