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! On offense watching Kevin Mawae …
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 are helpful. This year is …
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 Haynesworth, a guy who stomps …
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 year he lost there to …
When my dad became NYJets team internist in 1963 (actually Titans), I was a 12 year old tomboy whose life instantly changed. My entire family loved and played sports and now had an exciting new obsession. From Polo grounds to new home Shea Stadium, my mom, dad, 2 brothers and myself would arrive 4 hours prior to game time. My …
Joe Paterno is trending on Twitter, and unfortunately it’s not because of his great legacy. It’s about questions (many which are unsubstanciated in full) about his character and honor in handling the information about Jerry Sandusky. I wanted to share my first interaction with Joe in an effort to remind people of who he was for most of his life, …
I’m sure it’s hard to imagine the NFL draft without computers, popping in videos or DVDs, no combines, no “pro days” to retime and retest, – that’s the way it was in the 1970’s. I had volumes of handwritten scouting reports and lists of top players were then typed, yes with a typewriter, and put up on huge boards by …
Oh how I still miss the excitement of Draft time in the NFL! When I was 16 I began holding my own mock drafts using “Street and Smiths” football book and watching the one game of the week on TV with Keith Jackson announcing. My dad and uncle were the two team physicians for the Jets and they became my …
This lockout is getting ridiculous. I find fault with both players union and owners. I think it’s great that players bodies are getting 5 months off to recover which they used to get before the 1980s. But the draft was completely different without signing free agents ahead and filling certain needs and then it was horrible not to be able …
