Great Scrimmage The New York Jets Green and White Scrimmage was all I hoped it would be. This is a year where the word “competition” really exists at so many positions. This team has some players set, but others are still wide open and who will complete the 53 man roster is still way up in the air. Jets Offense […]

I’m feeling so many emotions tonight. It’s one year since the passing of my dad, Dr. Cal Nicholas, at the age of 88 from dementia.

Practice was quick tempo and both Mark Sanchez and Geno Smith threw well. The team has had a big change with so many

Training camp 2013 is finally here! I’m leaving tomorrow for Cortland and cannot wait for practices to begin! I must admit I miss the old 2-a-day real hitting practices where I could watch and tell who was a hitter, not just who got to a spot. There is nothing like seeing guys get after it every practice but so much is changing.

Athletes are constantly analyzed. The sports media, now 24 hours a day on radio, TV, and social media, loves to decide which athletes, no matter the sport, are winners or don’t quite have “it”. One of the biggest ways is “rings”, “jackets”, “championships, or just being what is known as “clutch”. Clutch is the ability to come through when it

What a great 4 hours of Positive TV watching the ESPYs tonight! After the past few months of negative press of a small group of athletes getting in trouble and a three week trial that ended dividing so much of our nation, this was just what the doctor ordered. First, newly married QB Christian Ponder and his lovely wife interviewed

These times they are a-changin’. 24 hour TV news, Twitter, Facebook, Radio talk shows, cameras on cell phones. The world of 2013 is so different than the previous 50 years I grew up in. Sometimes it’s the greatest and others, privacy is gone and long forgotten. We hear stories about Bobby Layne, Jim Brown, Lawrence Taylor, Studio 54 happenings, Joe
