Peter Laviolette chuckled as a grin started to spread across his face.
David Peterson bent over behind the mound in Sunday’s fifth inning, giving the appearance of perhaps a back ailment.
New Jets coach Aaron Glenn will stand in front of his team on Monday as the Jets begin their offseason program.
He will be tempting, of course, because by the time all is said and done, Kevin Durant will be on the short list of the greatest players in NBA history. Top 10? Maybe. Top 20? For sure.
