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 Reggie Jackson Jersey . I cant pinpoint a date, but I do remember a player from my youth.

Gerrit Cole overcame a rocky start to become the first Pirates pitcher to win his first four career starts in more than a century and the Pirates won their seventh straight, 10-3 over the Milwaukee Brewers. The Pirates moved a game up in the NL Central when the St. Louis Cardinals lost later at Oakland. At 49-30, Pittsburgh has the best record in baseball. Cole (4-0) gave up three runs in the first inning but no more as he made it through six innings, allowing eight hits with three walks and three strikeouts. Nick Maddox started 4-0 in his first four starts in 1907. "Its really a team effort," Cole said. "Ive pitched pretty well but Ive gotten a lot of support defensively and our offence has been very opportunistic. It feels good to say Im 4-0 but it feels even better because the team is playing well." The Pirates are on their longest winning streak since running off 10 in a row in 2004. The Pirates havent had a winning season since 1992 and the 20-year stretch of futility is the longest in major North American professional team sports history. However, they are not getting caught up in being in the rarified air of being 19 games over .500 in June. "Were just focused on winning that day," Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle said. "Our guys our very focused on taking it pitch to pitch." Johnny Hellweg (0-1) failed to get out of the second inning in his major league debut, giving up seven runs -- five earned -- in 1 2-3 innings. "He didnt come out with very good stuff," Milwaukee manager Ron Roenicke said. "He was trying to aim the ball instead of throw it. That happens a lot of times when its a guys first time out." Starling Marte had a double and triple among his three hits, and just missed a homer in the eighth when he flied out to deep centre field. McCutchen had three hits, including his ninth home run, and three RBIs for Pittsburgh. Pedro Alvarez added two hits and Neil Walker hit a two-run double to start a seven-run second inning in which the Pirates sent 12 batters to the plate. Alvarez extended his hitting streak to 11 games Ryan Reid pitched three scoreless innings for his first career save. He was called up from Triple-A Indianapolis on June 3 after spending seven seasons in the minor leagues. "Its really nice to get a save but its even better to help the team win," said Reid, who has a 1.00 ERA in six games. "I feel good about being able to come up here and help the team keep winning." Carlos Gomez, who missed the previous three games with a sprained right shoulder, had two hits for the Brewers. Jean Segura and Juan Francisco also had two hits apiece.dddddddddddd. Rickie Weeks ran his hitting streak to 13 games. Walkers double got the Pirates to 3-2, scoring Garrett Jones and Alvarez, who led off with singles. The Pirates then loaded the bases as Hellweg walked Travis Snider and Cole around a groundout by Jordy Mercer. Marte then singled home Walker with the tying run. The Pirates went ahead when Russell Martin followed by hitting a grounder up the middle that Segura, the shortstop, misplayed for an error, allowing Snider and Cole to score. McCutchen and Alvarez followed with RBI singles to knock the 6-foot-9 Hellweg from the game. "We had some trouble with (Hellweg) in the first inning," McCutchen said. "Hes so big and he was throwing sinkers from a downhill angle at a time when there still were shadows on the field. Then we got adjusted to him." Milwaukee acquired Hellweg and Segura, who leads the National League with 104 hits, last July from the Los Angeles Angles in a trade for ace pitcher Zack Greinke. Hellweg was 7-4 with a 2.82 ERA in 14 starts with Triple-A Nashville this season. "I wanted to have a good pace, I thought that was important in my first game, but I really started rushing things, especially in that second inning," Hellweg said. The Brewers jumped on Cole for three quick runs. A walk to Norichika Aoki and singles by Segura and Gomez loaded the bases and Aramis Ramirez walked to force in a run. A second run scored when Jonathan Lucroy grounded into a double play and Francisco capped the inning with an RBI single. However, the 3-0 lead held up only for one inning, and the Pirates added on runs following their seven-run second. Marte hit an RBI double in the third and tripled in the sixth and scored on McCutchens double. McCutchen homered off Michael Gonzalez in the eighth. "I was on the ropes and the pitch count was getting up there in that first inning but I got some groundballs in the second, guys made some really good plays behind and that settled me down," Cole said.
