FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — Calvin Pace can’t stand training camp.
At all.
Absolutely despises it.
So, the fact that the New York Jets are practicing this summer at their home facility instead of traveling up to SUNY Cortland in Central New York — as they did five of six years under Rex Ryan — makes the veteran linebacker happy.
Well, sort of.
“It’s good to see civilization,” Pace joked after practice Sunday. “It’s a little warmer, but it’s cool.”
The temperatures were mostly in the low-90s and steamy during the first four days of training camp, with first-year coach Todd Bowles purposely scheduling midday practices — at the height of the heat — for his team.
