The Jets had their first practice in pads today. It poured with thunder and lightning this morning but cleared in time to have them play in the Stadium at Cortland University. Today Geno Smith played with the first team offense for much of the time and had a solid practice. He and Stephen Hill looked […]
There’s Nothing like Training Camp What a great first day at Jet camp. Not a cloud in the sky and 75 degrees, I had a chance to reconnect with all the Jet beat writers on the sidelines. Practice was quick tempo and both Mark Sanchez and Geno Smith threw well. The team has had a […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
I just love watching the Monday Night Miracle being rebroadcast from 2000. It brings back so many memories of the impossible that CAN happen in our great sport of football. To have the NY Jets be the victor in this game made it even sweeter. I’m watching and looking at the talent on this team! […]
Every year, Mark Sanchez hosts a group of players at Mission Viejo High School in southern California for drills and training before the season. It’s become commonly know as Jets West and has developed into a well-produced event with great food and lots of fun. Sometimes these types of things may not be necessary, but […]
Robert Kraft just spoke out saying he was “duped” by Aaron Hernandez and I just don’t buy it. Kraft is a very intelligent and savvy businessman, and he’s experienced these PR headaches in the past. Once you’ve gone through a serious issue, you learn to be prepared for the future. He’s been through Spygate, signing […]
Yesterday I found myself watching the men’s finals at Wimbledon. I’m not a big tennis fan but this was more than just a regular Championship. Andy Murray had the weight of his Country (the Brits who hadn’t won in 77 years) on his shoulders. He was playing the #1 player in the world, and last […]
