The Jets spent the final day of their minicamp not at Hofstra but in New Jersey for a couple of team activities that were closed to the media. The team spent the morning taking a tour of the new Atlantic Health Training Center, where the Jets will move in September. In the afternoon, the team had a “Family Day” at Delbarton High School, located near the training center, where players got the lowdown – schools, housing, etc. - on the Florham Park area. Randy Lange, of newyorkjets.com, did accompany the team to New Jersey, and filed a detailed report of the day on the team site. I’m still one-up on Randy, however, given that I chronicled last week’s Flight Crew tryouts and he did not.
So, as Hillary gave her speech through gritted teeth and much of the sports world is looking ahead to Big Brown at the Belmont, that’s how your Jets spent this 100-degree day. A good number of individuals from the organization, including GM Mike Tannenbaum, coach Eric Mangini, and a handful of current and former players, will be at NYIT in Old Westbury tomorrow morning (Sunday) for the Fifth Annual Long Island Walk with Us to Cure Lupus, a passion of owner Woody Johnson.
I’ll have some leftover notes and the like from the minicamp in the coming days and will continue to answer questions as you submit them, either in this post or under yesterday's practice report. Enjoy the heat wave.
