I know some believe that if a kid wants to play, he will show up on his own, but from personal experience, I don't necessarily agree with that. I hope the Jets continue to improve this year. I hope they hit the weight room with a renewed dedication and vigor. I hope they sweep the hallways and recruit kids who need to be in a uniform. Football is a great game.
All sports are great teachers of lessons of life, lessons absent in the classroom.
Even when you get pounded on Friday night. The scoreboard can never take away the experience and the lesson of what working with others, discipline, instincts and self-pride in knowing you truly did your best.
