The meeting illuminates an emerging pattern for the president, in which he sets aside time while traveling to hold one-on-one discussions with a range of individuals. That has included a new generation of mega-donors who can extend his financial advantage over presumptive Republican nominee, Donald Trump. Edens, 61, a businessman and investor worth an estimated $4.1 billion according to Forbes, has a long history of supporting Democrats. Interestingly, his daughter, Mallory, is reportedly dating New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who has drawn headlines for his friendship with Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., whose independent presidential bid complicates Biden’s path to reelection.

Sky Cave Retreats gained notoriety earlier this year when Aaron Rodgers participated in a darkness retreat before deciding the next step in his career, which led the quarterback to force a trade from the Packers to the Jets. Rudy Gobert, who meditates frequently on his own, wanted the chance to experience this for himself. In May, in one of the company's hobbit-like holes, he entered a small door that led to a room underground, where he spent the next 64 hours: three nights and two days.

Gerald Bourguet: Damion Lee celebrating the Jets’ win tonight was tremendous content. Had to be shushed so he didn’t wake up the kids, then Quinn Cook told him over FaceTime: “You the only Jets fan in America I know” 😂 (Via IG) pic.twitter.com/bUUva7EXBd

Raja Bell on Trae Young: Is there any sense of where the team falls on this? Because I saw something similar with the boy… Who’s the quarterback from the Jets, a couple of weeks ago… and then he came out with the media and got really combative, and you started to see when they put Mike White in that the team didn’t really have his back. There are situations, I guess this is a long way to get to this, that I’ve been in where a player is stepping up and acting a way towards a coach that is kind of a reflection on the way the team feels about the coach, and there are other situations where a player will act like that and the rest of teammates are like, “Nah, we don’t f*ck with somebody like that.” Sam Amick: I love the question and I think the answer’s pretty clear that the players, if they were picking sides on this, to be honest with you, they’d be on Nate McMillan’s side.

Leon Rose knows Lavar Ball from their past when CAA repped the family. The father’s eccentricities are not an issue. Sources believe Lavar, a former tight end on the Jets’ practice squad, wants all his sons on Broadway, and the Knicks are on Lonzo’s radar. “He can take the ball out of [Julius] Randle’s hands and he’s improved his shooting,’’ an NBA scout said.

Almost 4% had abnormal results on heart tests done after they recovered but subsequent MRI exams found heart inflammation in less than 1% of the athletes. These five athletes all had COVID-19 symptoms. Whether their heart problems were caused by the virus is unknown although the researchers think that is likely. They were sidelined for about three months and returned to play without any problems, said Dr. Mathew Martinez of Morristown Medical Center in New Jersey. He’s the study’s lead author and team cardiologist for football’s New York Jets.

Asked Wednesday if he still feels that way about the Knicks, LaVar, a former practice squad tight end for the Jets, said, “I think so. The bright lights, East Coast, If everything lines up right, the Knicks get the first pick and get LaMelo and LiAngelo with him and somehow get Lonzo in the long run. Shoot – The Triple B’s. The Ball Brothers on Broadway.”

“I was fortunate to be privy to some information,” said Charania, who also tweeted about Louisville offensive tackle Mekhi Becton going to the New York Jets with the 11th pick and San Francisco taking South Carolina defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw 14th.

A life that once glittered had turned dark and murky. Jayson Williams, the former NBA All-Star, had served time in prison for the accidental shooting death of his driver. He had one legal mess after another. And now he was sequestered at a cabin in the Catskills, drinking himself into oblivion. Then two people who cared arrived at that cabin. One was former Jets great and NFL Hall of Famer Curtis Martin, who brought kindly spiritual advice and hope. The other was ex-Knicks great Charles Oakley, who brought a baseball bat.

As he left the Jackson scrum Sunday, Kerr said, “It’s hard for anybody. A competitor like Phil — Phil is a fierce competitor — so losing eats competitors up.” Who knows what would have happened had Jackson closed the deal with Kerr before the Warriors were eliminated from the 2014 playoffs in the first round by the Clippers? Kerr gave Jackson a verbal commitment but he and his agent at the time, former Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum, held out for a more substantial offer than the initial three-year, $9 million promise.
