When you cover an NFL team, just about anything can happen on any day at training camp. Teams are always bringing guys in, cutting players, and repeating the process.
Kevin Durant has been electrifying summer league fans in NYC this summer. Fellow NBA star Michael Beasley will also be remembered in Manhattan -- and not nearly as fondly.
Memo to reporters: don't mention illegal poker games if you expect to get anywhere with Alex Rodriguez.
The Giants said Osi Umenyiora sat out Thursday's practice "because he says he has a sore knee." And according to the New York Post, Umenyiora "has told the Giants he may need knee surgery."
Hard-hitting special teams ace James Ihedigbo won't be playing for the Jets this season. A person familiar with the situation told the AP that New York will not re-sign the free agent safety.
It's official: Braylon Edwards is no longer an option for the Jets. The San Francisco 49ers signed Edwards to a $3.5 million, one-year contract Thursday.
During the past four years, Giants running backs Ahmad Bradshaw and Brandon Jacobs have been somewhat inseparable. So it's not surprising when Bradshaw became a free agent and went to the cash-strapped Giants for a new contract, Jacobs was the one who offered to restructure his deal.
Johan Santana's rehab has hit a snag, though thankfully for Mets fans it appears there's no major worry.

The Jets released popular wide receiver Jerricho Cotchery Thursday, apparently clearing the way for veteran Derrick Mason to sign with the team. But in a late twist to the story, Rex Ryan said that was the way Cotchery wanted it.
New York Yankees right-hander Mark Prior says he is scheduled to pitch in a rookie-level Gulf Coast League game on Friday, two days after being hit on the left forearm by a ball during batting practice.
Alex Rodriguez is not Pablo Escobar because he plays a little poker on the side. No doubt I feast on malfeasance for a living, but a man playing a game that's illegal only because it didn't occur in a casino is hardly a crime wave.
Plaxico Burress will have to wait at least another day before he returns to the football field. The New York Jets' newly signed wide receiver will be sidelined for a day or two after he tweaked his left ankle running routes by himself.
