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. He was an amazing father to 3 children and loving husband to my mom, fantastic Physician, and great teacher in life lessons. He also started my life with the NY Jets, then Titans, in 1962 […]

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 in sync on long passes

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 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.

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

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

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
