Marty Lyons Sets His Sights on Opening Day
It was just a month ago that Marty Lyons' normal summer routine took a sharp detour.
"I had my golf tournament on July 10, then we had the dinner," Lyons, the Jets radio analyst, New York Sack Exchange charter member and 2013 Ring of Honor inductee, told me this morning. "I had all the kids in town, so we were making arrangements for who was going to make all the airport runs the next day.
"I went to bed. Then I woke up with cramps. I stood up, and the next thing I knew, paramedics were all around me. My blood pressure had spiked to 200. They took me to the hospital and ran all the tests. I told them I was seeing double."
