I just read the joint statement by the New York Jets and Giants and it hit me like a ton of bricks! It marks the end of an era for me. A joint statement from the Jets and Giants: pic.twitter.com/fP8eqaDBPw — New York Jets (@nyjets) July 20, 2020 For the first time in 55 years, I won’t be attending New […]

Today is a historic day for the NFL: the appointment of Kathryn Smith as a full-time female coach on an NFL team. As a woman who was blessed to work for the New York Jets in the 70’s as the league’s first female scout, I always dreamed of this day. I secretly wished for it when I was with the

Hitting Is Here! Jets had practice in pads today! Finally, a chance to see some hitting, blocking, pass rush and tackling. Quarterbacks Geno Smith led first-team offense vs first-team defense (except for 3 plays), and Michael Vick led second-team offense vs second-team defense.

Unpredictable and Exciting! Opening Day in the NFL is totally unpredictable. I’d like to find the person who thought the Ravens would give up 7 TD passes and would have lost by 30 points if a player on a pick 6 of Flacco hadn’t decided to be a dummy, showboat, and drop the ball casually before he crossed the Goal

Forget the Tuck Rule or RB Helmet Rule All I heard the past few months were the changes to the “Tuck Rule” and the penalty on the RB lowering and hitting with the crown of his helmet. It was all over every sports talk show. While at Jet scamp the NFL referees came and went over all the rule changes with

The Pro Bowl has become a joke as players treated it as such. They loved the free week in Hawaii and who could blame them. But the fear of injury and now the fact that so many “first team” Pro Bowlers were playing in the Super Bowl and could not participate, the game held no meaning except to cause injury.

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
