ESPN New York 98.7 FM will broadcast the New York Jets Green & White Scrimmage on Saturday, Aug. 3. Don LaGreca and Greg Buttle will host the pre-scrimmage coverage beginning at 5 p.m. ET. At 6 p.m., Marty Lyons and Bob Wischusen will call the play-by-play action. During the game, LaGreca and Buttle will interact with the crowd in Cortland, N.Y.
"Every season we search for ways to better serve the avid Jets fan base here in New York," said Dave Roberts, general manager and vice president, ESPN New York 98.7 FM. "Extensive coverage of the annual Green & White Scrimmage will provide Jets fans with even more news and analysis of their favorite team."
"We understand that not every fan can join us at training camp in Cortland," said Jets President Neil Glat. "The Green & White scrimmage being covered by ESPN New York gives more fans the opportunity to experience the excitement of training camp as we gear up to kick off the 2013 season."
