about being in favor of resigning quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick

UCF plans to honor former coach George OLeary with a statue on campus.The Orlando Sentinel first reported that a group of private donors came up with the idea to build the statue, set to be presented in 2017 near Bright House Networks Stadium. The UCF Athletics Association approved the plan, according to The Sentinel.George helped our student-athletes reach new heights in the classroom and on the field. Its appropriate to recognize those achievements at some point in the future, UCF spokesman Grant Heston said in a statement to ESPN.com.OLeary, 70, retired last October during his 12th season as UCF head coach. He took the Knights to a Fiesta Bowl victory over Baylor following the 2013 season and went to seven bowl games, going 81-68 overall. He helped spearhead the construction of the on-campus stadium where the Knights currently play.But he also went winless twice with UCF (2004, 2015) and was head coach when Ereck Plancher collapsed and died during offseason conditioning drills in 2008. OLeary and his staff oversaw the drills.A jury found the UCF Athletics Association negligent in Planchers death and awarded his family $10 million in damages. But the Florida Supreme Court ruled in 2015 the UCFAA was required to pay the Plancher family only $200,000 because it was a state agency and therefore limited to a cap on damages.Those people can build all the statues to whomever they want, but the one statue that should be there that they forgot about is a young student-athlete that died for their football program, that they abandoned and betrayed, Plancher family attorney Steve Yerrid said in a phone interview.?They can go to hell. And Im happy to put them there.?OLeary arrived at UCF in 2004, three years after he resigned in disgrace from Notre Dame for inaccuracies on his résumé.

Stan Smith Sko Salg . -- Cam Newton pranced into the end zone, placed his hands over his chest and did his familiar Superman pose. FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Playoffs or bust? Not necessarily for the New York Jets.Owner Woody Johnson said Wednesday that the teams goal is, of course, to reach the postseason each year, but declined to say that this season would be a failure without a postseason appearance.Im not going to really look at it that way, Johnson said while speaking to reporters for the first time since early in the offseason.We try to win every game. We try to get into the playoffs every year. Thats our goal. In fact, to go further than that. You have to do it a game at a time. Im not going to play the whole season out in advance.The Jets havent reached the playoffs since the 2010 season, the longest postseason drought since Johnson took over the team in 2000.When asked if he would be disappointed if the team failed to get into the postseason for the sixth straight season, Johnson wouldnt bite.Im not disappointed for the whole season yet because we havent played it, he said, smiling. Im optimistic that were going to be a good team, a balanced team on all three phases.Despite that, Johnson refused to issue anything close to a win-now declaration, even though some Jets fans might prefer to hear something to that effect.I never said there wasnt any urgency, Johnson said. Were trying to win every game. Were not going to pre-play the season and tell you whats going to happen all season, because thats not realistic.Wide receiver Brandon Marshall agreed that theres no playoffs-or-bust mentality in the Jets locker room.Youve got to take it one game at a time, and the only thing I care about is winning every single game, Marshall said.When the clock hits zero, where are we going to stand? To get there, (from) what I understand about sports psychology and understanding how the mind works, youve got to take it one play at a time, onee game at a time, and see what happens.dddddddddddd. I will say that our expectations and our goals are extremely high.With several key veterans, including a number of them 30 or older, including Marshall, the Jets certainly appear to be built for making a playoff run.Well, youve got an owner thats up there, too, said the 69-year-old Johnson. Weve got the veterans to help the younger guys, so that can be a very big positive. Older is not necessarily a bad thing. It could be a good thing.Johnson was vocal during the offseason about being in favor of resigning quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, who is 33 and coming off a career season in which he set a franchise record with 31 touchdown passes.After a long contract stalemate, the owner jumped for joy when the Jets and Fitzpatrick agreed to a deal the night before training camp began.While Todd Bowles defense is expected to be solid again, the overall success of the Jets -- and their playoff hopes -- could hinge on Fitzpatricks right arm.He knows whats at stake, Johnson said of Fitzpatrick. Hes a Harvard guy. So, he knows how important this year is for him, and every year is important for us.After practice, Fitzpatrick was told of Johnsons comments -- and agreed with the owner.I mean, Im a starting quarterback in the NFL, Fitzpatrick said. So I think its every year that you can say that, its an important year for you because Ive got 52 other guys and a whole lot of coaches that are really counting on me to go out there and do the job. So, I dont know exactly what he means by that, but thats how I feel.Ive got a lot of people counting on me to go out there and perform.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
