HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. (AP) -Eric Mangini is big on togetherness. So the New York Jets' second-year coach called off practice Saturday to join forces with the military. A day after a group of soldiers from Fort Bragg, N.C., visited minicamp - and even participated in some drills during the afternoon session - Mangini canceled the final minicamp workout to do some ``off-site team building that incorporates the military.''
