From Don Banks' NFL blog, via Alex Ross’ music blog:
“As he did last year, [New York Jets Coach Eric] Mangini has speakers set up at practice in order to pipe in loud music when his offense comes to the line of scrimmage. But the new twist is that he has mixed in some Mozart to go along with the selections of rock and hip-hop. Mangini this offseason researched the effect of Mozart on learning, and he liked what he heard.
‘"It stimulates the brain waves that influence learning,’ he told me from his office. ‘There are a lot of schools that are playing Mozart underneath all day long."’
