Representatives from both sides of the negotiations refused to comment after advice from Cohen.<\/p>\n<p>Ken Berger of CBSSports.com <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/#!\/KBergCBS\/status\/126793385230082048\" target=\"_blank\">reported<\/a> that\u00a0Cohen \"shed no new light on the status of talks.

After 16 hours of negotiations on Tuesday night, Twitter was blown up with jokes using the #ReasonsForLongLockoutMeeting hashtag.
