Dennis Waszak Jr., Ap Sports Writer Published 6:16 pm CDT, Monday, August 6, 2018 FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — The New York Jets' three-man quarterback competition could last the entire summer. Coach Todd Bowles says Monday that he has not pinpointed a specific date as to when he will decide between Josh McCown, Teddy Bridgewater and Sam Darnold to be the starter in the regular-season opener at Detroit on Sept. 10. Bowles adds that it's possible he won't make a decision until after the fourth preseason game. The Jets coach could keep the team's starter under wraps until the night of the game against the Lions. Usually, teams have their starters determined by the third preseason game, when the first-teamers play the bulk of the snaps. McCown is the incumbent and still is No. 1 on the depth chart. But both Bridgewater and Darnold saw extensive action in practice Monday. ___ More AP NFL: https://apnews.com/tag/NFLfootball and https://twitter.com/AP_NFL … [Read more...] about Jets’ QB competition could last through 4 preseason games

Meghan Payton to be sideline reporter for 2 Saints preseason games
Sean Payton's daughter, Meghan, has been working this year as an intern with NFL Network, and through that experience, she's had a chance to cover the Pro Bowl and attend some practices for teams around the league. In a couple weeks, she'll have a chance to enjoy a unique experience as she'll be a sideline reporter for FOX 8 during two New Orleans Saints preseason games, according to her father. "She's excited," Sean Payton said after practice Friday. "She'll do our preseason games then she goes back for her senior year (at Pepperdine)." Sean Payton said Meghan will do sideline work during the Saints' two home preseason games, Aug. 17 against the Arizona Cardinals and Aug. 30 against the Los Angeles Rams.

Opinion: Broncos preseason games are worth watching, not training camp practice
Mark Knudson Published 11:00 p.m. UTC Jul 30, 2018 The countdown to the start of football practice is in its final stage. The Denver Broncos have hit the practice field at Dove Valley and begun to do … calisthenics. They also stretch, jog and toss around footballs. They run offensive plays, occasionally against an actual defense. The kickers will go over to a side field and … kick. Mostly they’ll listen to coaches hollering instructions, try to get their timing just right and try to be consistent in everything they are asked to do while on the practice field. Is all of this important to the final result on game day? Absolutely. The old adage about practice making perfect has been amended by many to read “perfect practice makes perfect.” Coaches are always striving for a perfect practice. Players know that how they perform in practice is likely to determine how much playing time they’ll get when game time arrives. Receivers have to get … [Read more...] about Opinion: Broncos preseason games are worth watching, not training camp practice
Sports media: Adam Amin gives new-look Bears a new voice for preseason games
Several years ago, Bears radio voice Jeff Joniak was preparing for a game with an ESPN college-football broadcast in the background. He was struck by the play-by-play announcer, who kept “popping through the TV,” as he put it. Joniak kept waiting to hear who it was. Turns out, it was a young man he had met at Soldier Field who was there calling a game for a radio broadcast — Adam Amin. “He’s got a very distinctive voice, but I just didn’t know he was doing that,” Joniak said. “I didn’t know he was on ESPN doing college football games, and here I come to learn he does just about everything.” That’s not an exaggeration. Amin has called MLB, NBA and NFL games as well as college baseball, basketball, softball, volleyball and wrestling. He’s ESPN’s lead play-by-play voice for women’s hoops, he called the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest on July 4 and he was on the mic for ESPN Radio’s broadcast of … [Read more...] about Sports media: Adam Amin gives new-look Bears a new voice for preseason games
