FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Darrelle Revis might be the hottest man in the NFL -- literally.The New York Jets star cornerback routinely practices in a dark sweatshirt and sweatpants, no matter the weather. Even when the heat index has temperatures soaring over 100 degrees, as they were this weekend, and the air is so thick you can hardly breathe.I know, people think Im crazy, Revis said after a steamy practice Sunday. Everybody does.While sweat-drenched fans gathered in the metal bleachers are hoping for the occasional warm breeze to provide a respite from the blazing heat, theres Revis on the practice field dressed as if its mid-November.Its just putting myself in the worst-case scenario, in terms of the heat, making it the worst possible, he said. If Im able to overcome this, I think in a game, it would be fairly easy or at least a little bit easier for me.The 5-foot-11, 198-pound Revis estimates he loses 6 or 7 pounds in water weight through a typical practice. Hell start the morning by chugging bottles of water and then again right before practice starts.Coach Todd Bowles prefers to have his players work during the hottest part of the day, calling it the dog days of training camp. Revis takes advantage of the extreme heat to quickly get himself in regular-season shape.During practice, you feel it, but when youre done, thats when you really pay attention to your shirt just being drenched, he said. I mean, its completely soaked. Its like you jumped in the hot tub or a swimming pool or something and youre like, `Holy cow.Obviously, the results I think are good because by the end of practice youre like, `OK, I did something today because youre so drenched.Whos to argue with a seven-time Pro Bowl pick and five-time first-team All-Pro selection who has been considered one of the greatest to play his position?Well, other than some teammates who are downright dumbfounded by all the layers. Some players, such as fellow cornerbacks Dexter McDougle and Dee Milliner, might wear long sleeves or long pants, but none have both like Revis.Ryan Clady said something to me yesterday like, `Youre a savage for wearing all that stuff, Revis said, laughing. The coaches even look at me crazy. Everyones like: `You have too much gear on! What are you doing? You look old, man!On Saturday, Revis had the whole getup going -- sweatshirt and sweatpants -- while temperatures hit the low-100s. In similar conditions Sunday, he ditched the sweatpants for compression stockings under his shorts but still had a sweatshirt and a long T-shirt under his jersey.The only reason I didnt wear the sweatpants today was because yesterday as I sweated, the sweatpants were just so soaked that they were starting to become heavy, he said. I was out there trying to cover guys and my pants were actually sagging off my butt because they were so heavy from sweat.Some of his teammates razzed him, pointing out that they might not have ever seen him wearing shorts.Revis said Jets head athletic trainer John Mellody constantly monitors players weights, so hes not afraid hes losing too many pounds too quickly. Staying hydrated is the key to avoiding cramps -- or worse. Despite sweating his way through practices his entire NFL career, Revis has never needed to leave the field to get intravenous fluids.Trust me, its definitely hot, he said. But, at the same time, if I can concentrate under those kinds of circumstances, I would think it would be fairly easy come Sundays.Revis has always been regarded by teammates and coaches as perhaps the most competitive player theyve ever seen in a practice, let alone a game. He strives for perfection on the field and cant stand getting beat. Both he and the similarly competitive Brandon Marshall got into it last week when they butted heads during a few plays.Preparation is the key, Revis insists, to achieving what he has on the field. As a high school football star growing up in Aliquippa, Pennsylvania, Revis often worked out with Patriots cornerback Ty Law -- and what the youngster saw left an impression.Ty would want to run like 4 miles down the street and you would sit there and think hes nuts because he would have a sweat jacket on, a long-sleeved shirt and sweatpants, Revis said. I would look at him, like: `Dude, arent you hot? You might pass out.Sure enough, once Revis came to New York as the 14th overall draft pick in 2007, he adopted a similar approach.You want to talk about fashion on the football field, thats kind of my fashion look out there, he said, laughing. It works out for me.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL .

World champions Tatiana Volosozhar and Maxim Trankov of Russia won the gold medal with 237.71 points, Moore-Towers and Moscovitch followed at 208.45 and Ksenia Stolbova and Fedor Klimov of Russia were third at 187. GREENBURGH, N.Y. -- Phil Jackson says that a recent conversation with New York Knicks star Carmelo Anthony factored into his decision to take a win now approach with the team this summer.In a meeting after the season, Jackson asked Anthony, 32, if the Knicks were moving quickly enough to meet Anthonys timeline to win. Jackson said Anthonys response conveyed that hes getting into an age where things have to happen for him, so we decided to activate ourselves.Jackson moved quickly, acquiring Derrick Rose in a trade late last month and signing veterans Joakim Noah, Courtney Lee and Brandon Jennings in free agency.All three players were introduced at the team practice facility on Friday. The club also announced the signings of reserve forward Lance Thomas, European big man Willy Hernangomez and summer leaguer Marshall Plumlee.Jackson and the rest of the front office believe that theyve put together a team with a little more experience [and] a little more competitive power than in seasons past.The Knicks won a total of 49 games in Jacksons first two full years as team president, which already has included two head coaches.Jackson shied away from making playoff predictions on Friday but said the club would be more competitive than last season, when the Knicks wwon just 32 games and missed the playoffs for the third consecutive year.ddddddddddddWe like this team, Jackson said. Joakim Noah has been somebody thats been on my list for quite a long time.One concern for the Knicks this season will be the possibility of injuries. Rose has played in 39 percent of possible games since the start of the 2013-14 season because of several knee injuries. Noah was limited to 29 games last season because of left-shoulder injuries, and Jennings missed nearly 12 months because of a torn left Achillies.There are some guys who have had injury issues in the past, we think weve added enough depth and we feel confident as we do our due diligence medically, Knicks general manager Steve Mills said. We feel good about our ability to withstand a season and have a competitive team.Mills said the clubs win now approach this summer was taken with Kristaps Porzingis in mind. Some assumed that the Knicks would rebuild slowly around Porzingis, a 20-year-old who will enter his second season, but Mills said he believes that the best thing we can do to help him develop is to put him in a culture of winning basketball.
