Gotye Parody Video: Peyton Manning and Tim Tebow Featured in Newest Remix - Bleacher Report

Peyton Manning, Tim Tebow and the most popular song in the world combine to create a spot-on parody music video. 

I will go ahead and ask the world to stop with the Gotye parody songs now, because the good ones have been created and you will only fall flat from an epic fail if you attempt the same. 

We have all seen the same song parody with Kobe Bryant as the theme. 

Now we get the two biggest names in the NFL offseason colliding with two fans sounding off in the complex feelings of loss. 

First comes a Colts fan who pines for Peyton Manning, a quarterback that was once received with disappointment and then spoiled fans with win after win. 

Best line from the open, via YouTube:  

But secretly I wanted Ryan Leaf
But I was wrong and you're the best I can remember

This wouldn't do the original justice if it weren't filled with body paint and also a duet with an attractive young lady. 

It really wouldn't be an NFL parody, actually, without some mention of Tim Tebow. She delves into the deep and complex feelings of Denver Broncos fans who were forced to see Tebow leave.

Despite being a below average quarterback, fans were forced to care. 

Now and then I think of all the games you screwed us over
Part of me not caring 'cause of all the games you had won
But Elway didn't wanna play that way
Scoring six points every single game

Sweet and to the point. I laughed, I cried and was taken back to the great 2011 season. Now please cease and desist with the thought that you can out do these. 

That is how a perfectly fine song gets murdered. 

Follow me on Twitter and we can be BFFs. 

Greene Is Expecting His Workload to Grow - New York Times

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. â€" Contrary to popular belief, the list of players affected by the Jets’ acquisition of Tim Tebow does not begin and end with Mark Sanchez. Ranking second â€" if a distant second, perhaps â€" is Shonn Greene, who remembers wondering two months ago whether adding another running option would cut into his workload.

“I did, I did,” Greene said Thursday, after a slight pause. “But then again, you can’t dwell on stuff like that. There’s going to be plenty of carries to go around.”

The Jets are in the throes of organized team activities, that breathless stage of the N.F.L. off-season when all quarterbacks look sharp, all draft picks have impressed and everyone is stronger, leaner and in the best shape of his life.

Even so, with two months before training camp and more than three months before the Sept. 9 season opener against Buffalo, Greene seems to have grasped the Jets’ new reality, one defined by a versatile backup quarterback and a new coordinator intent on establishing a run-first philosophy.

However secretive the Jets have remained about their intended use of Tebow, it is unlikely that the offense will thrive if Greene sputters. He set a career-high with 253 rushing attempts last season, and he said he had been led to believe by the offensive coordinator Tony Sparano that he will surpass that figure in 2012 â€" even if Tebow does end up taking away carries that would have otherwise gone to him or the backup, Joe McKnight.

“We’re not going to disappoint you,” Coach Rex Ryan said. “We’re going to give the ball to Shonn Greene a bunch.”

To be clear, Sparano has not explicitly told that to Greene. The way Sparano figured it, he had no reason to. Greene has heard enough about Sparano’s plans and studied enough of the new playbook to form an impression. Greene loved what he saw â€" a coach determined to employ an approach that leaves no room for interpretation. In constant motion during practice, Sparano points and yells and teaches. He implores his players to play physical. He demands a high tempo.

“Smoke and mirrors aren’t going to win a lot of games,” Sparano said.

The Jets realized as much during their not-so-recent past, when their so-called ground-and-pound philosophy helped them reach two consecutive A.F.C. championship games. Then, a lapsed offensive identity, exacerbated by an uneven defense and a fractured locker room, prevented them from reaching the playoffs last year. Greene topped 1,000 yards for the first time, but he, like many of his teammates, had bouts of inconsistency.

Greene said he was heartened that Sparano favored the power play, a between-the-tackles run in which a lineman, usually a guard, pulls into another inside hole as an extra blocker. It would usually feature Greene, but if called in a Wildcat formation â€" near the goal line, presumably â€" either he or Tebow would emerge as the likely beneficiary. In Miami, that play was often called for Ronnie Brown, whom Greene mentioned as someone who flourished in Sparano’s offense.

“We’re going to run that to death until someone stops us,” Greene said, “and I think that’s the type of back I am.”

In Greene, Sparano saw a running back who possessed the optimal body type for his new offense â€" big, bruising, physical.

“He gets his shoulders squared to the line of scrimmage, he breaks tackles and he runs at the right pad level,” Sparano said. “To me, he has all the qualities I look for.”

Sparano estimated that he had installed about 60 percent of the Jets’ new offense, though nothing yet that could be characterized as quirky or unorthodox. Nothing that incorporates Tebow as anything more than a conventional quarterback. Until then, Sanchez â€" or Tebow â€" will keep handing the ball off to Greene, over and over and over again.

EXTRA POINTS

Darrelle Revis declined to guarantee his presence when players report to training camp July 26, which might point to another contract holdout, his second in three years. “I don’t know if I am or if I’m not,” said Revis, who would not say whether he was satisfied with his current deal, a front-loaded four-year, $32 million contract signed after a 36-day holdout in 2010. “I’m just telling you I’ll be ready for the season.” ... Nick Mangold declined the Jets’ offer to miss part of training camp to watch his sister Holley compete in weight lifting at the London Olympics, and Rex Ryan revealed his surprise by saying that he would have left for his twin brother, Rob.

Faith and Sports—Can Tim Tebow and Other Players Have Both? - Patch.com

I have the opportunity to teach two sport history courses for National University and one of the topics in sport history is the rise of religious sport heroes. In the early 20th century, there was a lot of misunderstanding and fear of religious groups that immigrated to America. For example, one of the early famous Jewish baseball players was Hank Greenberg. He was a standout player in the 1930s and 1940s. He was awarded several prestigious baseball honors including league MVP, five time All-Star nominee, and he entered the baseball Hall of Fame in 1956.

Greenberg also received national attention when, in 1934, he chose to refrain from playing baseball on Yom Kippur, which is a religious day for the Jewish faith. This was a particularly tough decision because Greenberg’s team, the Detroit Tigers, was in a close pennant race with the St. Louis Cardinals. Despite his absence, Greenberg still had loyal fans who respected him for his decision.

Later, another Jewish baseball standout, Sandy Koufax, refrained from playing on Yom Kippur, but because of the trail blazed by Hank Greenberg, Koufax and other religious players were not as criticized for their decision.

Sport has come a long way since the early religious sport heroes (NFL quarterback Tim Tebow has become known for his prayerful kneelingâ€"Tebowingâ€"during games) but in modern times, it seems that religious sport heroes are few and far between. We don’t often hear about NBA or NFL players not playing on the religious holidays or requesting the opportunity to observe the Sabbath. So the question is, do you have to give up one to have the other?

This is a question that Jabari Parker, arguably the best high school basketball player since LeBron James, is asking himself. According to an interview and article by Sports Illustrated, Jabari Parker is one of the best basketball players in the country and one of the nicest young men you will ever meet. For instance, after winning his varsity basketball game, Parker was observed serving water to the junior varsity team, instead of taking interviews or hanging out in the hall. Here is a kid being recruited by the best colleges in the country and he is serving water to the JV.

Besides being an outstanding player and nice boy, Parker is also a Mormon, a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. When Mormon young men turn 19 years old, they are asked to serve a two-year mission for the church. Parker, being a devout Mormon, certainly will give this a lot of thought. His challenge will be that if he leaves for two years, could that negatively impact his basketball career?

Whether Jabari Parker serves a mission or not, it sounds like this is a young man who has been able to blend his religion with a successful career in sports. His high school coach has worked with him over the past four years to make sure he can attend church each Sunday whether they are on the road or at home. This is an example of how coaches and players can work together to make religious beliefs work in the crazy competitive world of sports.

Do you have to give up your religious integrity in order to compete in competitive sports? Should religious players be required to compete on religious days in order to play on teams? Tells us in comments.

Can Tebow Fix the First Quarter? - Wall Street Journal

By CHRIS HERRING

FLORHAM PARK, N.J.â€"Even before they landed Tim Tebow, the Jets were widely considered one of the NFL's most entertaining clubs.

They've been to two AFC title games in the past three seasons. There's no such thing as a dull news conference with Rex Ryan, their human megaphone of a coach. And the team drew sky-high ratings for HBO's "Hard Knocks" documentary series in 2010.

But for all of the must-see TV the Jets provide, any anxiety-riddled fan of the team could tell you there's one thing you want to be sure to do: Cover your eyes until the first quarter is over.

The Jets have been downright ugly to watch in the early stages of games in recent years. And though they managed to dig themselves out of a bunch of those first-quarter holes, there could be bigger risks involved with falling behind in 2012. Doing so would thwart the run-based game plan the Jets want to employ and almost certainly set up a dilemma concerning how and when the team uses Tebow, the backup quarterback.

Statistically, the Jets were one of the slower-starting teams in the league last season, scoring just under four points per first quarter. That rate, better than only 11 other teams, was actually a vast improvement from the year before, when the Jets were second-worst in the NFL.

Opponents outscored the Jets to start games by 33 and 21 points in 2011 and 2010, respectively, according to Stats LLC. When the Jets scored an offensive first-quarter touchdown in Week 2 against Jacksonville last year, it marked the first time in 16 gamesâ€"or an entire regular season's worthâ€"that they had done so.

Of course, the Jets have been largely successful despite the slow starts. But there is no denying they've been a major problem. A closer look at the Jets' 13 regular-season losses over the past two years shows their opponents scored first in 11 of them.

"You'd love to [get ahead]," Ryan said. "I think that we're a team that if we get ahead, it obviously bodes well for us."

Quarterback Mark Sanchez has led 10 fourth-quarter comebacks and game-winning drives over the past two years, and receiver Santonio Holmes refers to his clutch performances late in games as "Tone Time," but there are a handful of issues with that script, and those problems could soon be amplified if the Jets' early scoring woes persist.

For one, they'd have to abandon their blueprint "ground and pound" power-running game, a game plan they've said they'd like to rededicate themselves to under new offensive coordinator Tony Sparano. Having to throw the ball to catch up, in an effort to save time on the clock, would make them more one-dimensional than they want to be.

And if the team develops a pattern of falling behind this season, it might create a different type of quarterback controversy. For instance: Who would oversee the comeback efforts in the fourth quarterâ€"Sanchez, who's shown himself to be clutch, or Tebow, who is seen as enigmatic for virtually only playing well in clutch moments?

For all the hype that Tebow and his late-game heroics generate, there is still one potential pitfall to playing him over Sanchez if and when the Jets fall behind: He may not be the ideal quarterback to have when you're down late in a game.

The Jets traded for Tebow partly because of how dangerous he is as a rushing threat. But running the ball drains the clock, and Tebow's passing leaves something to be desired.

He was the least accurate starting quarterback in the league last year when facing defensive-line pressure, according to analysis site Pro Football Focus. He completed just over a third of his passes in such scenarios, which might be similar to what he would face if he were playing and the Jets were losing late in a game.

"Depending on the score and where you're at in the game, whether you're ahead, whether you're behind, that all probably plays into it," Tebow said of when he'd get opportunities to play.

OTA observations: Coples, Hill shine - ESPN (blog)

Thoughts on the Jets' second OTA session open to the media:

1. For those who need their quarterback fix, here you go: Mark Sanchez was 7-for-14 in team drills, including an unsuccessful two-minute drill at the end of practice. Tim Tebow was 1-for-4, including a 50-yard bomb to WR Stephen Hill. Neither quarterback had an interception. In 7-on-7 drills (in the red zone), Sanchez was 5-for-6, with two TDs; Tebow was 4-for-5, with one TD. The bottom line is, neither quarterback shined. Tebow, in particular, seemed tentative with his reads, especially in the red zone. In fairness to the quarterbacks, it should be mentioned they had to work with a skeleton receiving corps on a semi-windy day.

2. Hill continues to impress. We know he's big and we know he's fast, but he also demonstrated the ability the beat jams at the line of scrimmage. A lot of rookies struggle with that aspect of the job. Actually, Rex Ryan candidly admitted he expected Hill to have trouble with press coverage, but the second-round pick has surprised him. Obviously, these aren't full-contact practices, so he isn't getting the full brunt of life as an NFL receiver, but Hill has met the early challenges. He beat CB Kyle Wilson on a 50-yard bomb and he caught a quick-out on CB Darrelle Revis during the two-minute drill.

3. No. 1 pick Quinton Coples, working with the starting unit, had a productive day. He "sacked" Sanchez and also batted down a pass at the line. Said Ryan: "Coples looks like he's killing it pretty good." This was a boom-or-bust pick for the Jets. So far, it's a lot closer to boom than bust.

4. Rookie LB Demario Davis (third-round pick), whom the Jets envision as a "coverage" linebacker, worked in the first-team nickel package. He has the athleticism to drop into coverage, but his inexperience shows up. He got burned on a wheel route by RB Joe McKnight, who was all alone in the end zone on the final play of a two-minute drive -- and dropped the ball. Davis got lucky -- this time.

5. OC Tony Sparano is constantly preaching tempo, tempo, tempo in practice. He wants the offense in and out of the huddle ASAP. He wants the offense to get accustomed to a quick pace because, in theory, it should make it easier in games. He also believes it helps the learning process -- less time to digest the play call. That means they have to know it immediately, no excuses.

6. Maybe it's just me, but the defense looks faster than last year. Maybe the "dinosaur" days have gone the way of ... well, the dinosaur.

Tim Tebow mania stretches to trading cards - ESPN (blog)

Tim Tebow’s Twitter-breaking migration from the Denver Broncos to the New York Jets this offseason has simply reaffirmed the undeniable truth that Tebow remains one of the most polarizing players in the history of American sports. As such, he remains one of the most collected players in the country, too.

His adoring legion of fans and collectors spans the country -- from Florida to the Rocky Mountains to the Big Apple and seemingly everywhere in between and beyond -- and his every move in New York, on the field and off, commands tabloid headlines. Just wait until the season starts.

Now Jets’ new Wildcat wildcard will take a starring role in the upcoming release of Panini America’s 2012 Prestige Football as the star of a 15-card insert devoted exclusively to him.

Peers rank Broncos' Peyton Manning NFL's 50th-best player - USA TODAY

Peyton Manning the NFL's 50th-best player?

Whether you consider that a compliment to a guy who hasn't played in nearly 18 months or a slap in the face to the league's only four-time MVP, it was the lead story of Wednesday night's installment of NFL Network's The Top 100 Players of 2012, a 10-part series determined by the votes of active players.

MORE TOP 100:  100-91 | 90-81 | 80-71 | 70-61 | 60-51

Thirteen quarterbacks made the cut overall with five ranked behind Manning -- Tim Tebow (No. 95), Tony Romo (No. 91), Joe Flacco (No. 74), Michael Vick (No. 70) and Philip Rivers (No. 61) -- and seven in front of him, though only Matthew Stafford (No. 41), who's coming off a 5,000-yard passing season, has been revealed to this point. (Presumably, the final six are Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Eli Manning, Cam Newton, Ben Roethlisberger and Aaron Rodgers.)

Some of Manning's peers didn't think he should be ranked at all after spending last season on injured reserve. Others were far more effusive in their praise:

• Packers C Jeff Saturday, Manning's longtime teammate in Indianapolis: "I'm pretty impressed. To go through a whole year and not touch the field and still be ranked 50, you must be doing something right. Obviously there's still a lot of guys who have a ton of respect for him."
• Steelers FS Ryan Clark: "If we're talking about the impact that a certain player had on the success or failure of his team, Peyton Manning may need to be No. 1."
• Titans S Jordan Babineaux: "I've never seen one player in particular have this kind of a impact on a franchise when he don't play."
• 49ers QB Alex Smith: "That team's (the Indianapolis Colts) a playoff-caliber team -- Peyton's not there anymore, and look what happens."
• Cardinals SS Adrian Wilson: "Any time you're a four-time NFL MVP, you should always be on the list."
• RB Thomas Jones: "Even though he didn't play, I think there's a lot of guys that will still say he's the best player in this league. Period. Hands down."

It is interesting to note that a fullback -- Ravens all-pro Vonta Leach, No. 45 -- finished ahead of Manning, though Leach is clearly highly regarded after being voted No. 65 in 2011.

Here's the list of players ranked 41-50:

• 41. Matthew Stafford, QB, Lions
• 42. Jason Peters, LT, Eagles
• 43. Vernon Davis, TE, 49ers
• 44. Jason Babin, DE, Eagles
• 45. Vonta Leach, FB, Ravens
• 46. Champ Bailey, CB, Broncos
• 47. Mike Wallace, WR, Steelers
• 48. Devin Hester, KR/WR, Bears
• 49. Maurkice Pouncey, C, Steelers
• 50. Peyton Manning, QB, Broncos

Legends return for Heisman Challenge - ESPN (blog)

Barry Sanders and Barry Sanders Jr. in the same Stanford backfield?

Might as well hand the Cardinal the BCS Championship right now, but that’s the concept behind the cool new Heisman Challenge mode in "NCAA Football 13."

Pick a former Heisman winner -- from Tim Tebow to Herschel Walker -- recruit them to your favorite school, then insert them into the current day starting lineup to see if you can match, or even surpass, their historic stats, awards, and championship trophies.

EA SportsThe new Heisman Challenge mode in "NCAA 13" allows you to play as a number of Heisman-winning legends.

As you play through the single-season experience, the viewpoint is the same as the game’s Road to Glory mode, with the camera focusing on your individual player as opposed to your team. Each player will be given specific goals to match or surpass throughout his second stint in college, as gamers will have the ability to try and put up Andre Ware’s video-game like stats or score more than Barry Sanders’ 37 rushing touchdowns while in control of the first ever father-son running tandem.

But that’s not all, as EA Sports added a unique gameplay element into the feature, giving gamers the ability to switch into “reaction time” slow motion, enabling runners like Sanders to juke, spin, hurdle, and stiff-arm as defenders fly at them from all directions, helping you see the field around you more clearly as you show off the slick moves that helped transform your superstar into a legend.

Ten athletes are featured in the new mode (Marcus Allen, Doug Flutie, Eddie George, Robert Griffin III, Desmond Howard, Carson Palmer, Barry Sanders, Charlie Ward, Andre Ware, and Herschel Walker), while Tim Brown, Archie Griffin, Jim Plunkett, Mark Ingram, Matt Leinart, and Tim Tebow will be made available through DLC.

Playing through a few Heisman Challenge games, I loved the new reaction time, especially when returning punts with Desmond Howard. And being able to pitch a the ball to Sanders on the outside, switch to slow motion as I spin between defenders, then switch back to regular speed, is also a blast. It almost seems unfair to have that much skill. Then again, that’s what it was like for Sanders in real life.

I also loved trying out players like Doug Flutie in the Oregon offense just to see if I could recapture some of that Flutie magic in a new system, not to mention putting players in the uniforms of their biggest rivals, like Desmond Howard on Ohio State and Marcus Allen on UCLA.

To top things off, if you’re able to meet your goals and win the Heisman, you can also unlock each player in Road to Glory mode in order to continue their playing careers.

That means four seasons of Sanders and Sanders in the same backfield.

I might never need to pass the ball again.

The Top 10 Non-Sports, Sports Stories: Hard Knocks, NBA Conspiracies, Terrell ... - AllMediaNY

The Top 10 Non-Sports, Sports Stories: Hard Knocks, NBA Conspiracies, Terrell Owens & Tim Tebow

31 May 2012 04:47 PM EST

by Daniel Mogollon, Staff Writer; Image: DeShawn Stevenson stands in his kitchen, in between his counter and his ATM. (Image Source: Twitter)

Here are the top-10 outside the lines [the check is in the mail ESPN] sports stories of the week:

10) Alcorn State Hires Jay Hopson as Head Football Coach: Why is this a “non-sports” story you ask? Because the only reason this is a story is the color of Hopson’s skin…he’s white. You see, Alcorn State is a historically black college and they are making Hopson the first non-black head coach in the history of the Southwestern Athletic Conference.

9. Kordell Stewart Retires: If your response is, “wait, what”, you’re not alone. It only took seven years of waiting by the phone [and checking several thousand times to make sure it was plugged in] before Stewart decided to hang it up. [Literally, put the phone down Kordell!] The NFLer formerly known is “Slash” is officially no longer part of league that he hasn’t been a part of since 2005 [unofficially?]. Apparently, Stewart needed closure, what ever that means. Come back to us Kordell…

8) Tim Tebow is Selling a lot of NFL Jerseys: I know, not really breaking news, but it’s a way to get Tim Tebow into the headline [Google likes Tebow], which equals hits. [We got you to click didn’t we?] According to NFLShop.com, the Jets backup quarterback/[first string?] personal punt protector, has sold the second-most jerseys from April 1 to May 28. His replacement in Denver, Peyton Manning, is the only one who has sold more.

7) The Pro Bowl is Back For 2013 in Hawaii: According to a release by the NFL, the Pro Bowl will be played on Sunday, January 27 in the week before the Super Bowl. Some say it’s where it belongs [Hawaii] and Cincinnati Bengals QB Andy Dalton says it was an, “awesome experience.” To which I say, who cares? You can’t make me watch. Last year’s contest resembled nothing close to a real football game. Last night’s “friendly” [how lame] between Brazil and USA was more meaningful.

6) Terrell Owens Cut From & Loses Interest in the Allen Wranglers: If I’ve never heard of the team or the league they play in [Indoor Football League], it’s a non-sports, sports story. Let’s be real. So Owens lost interest in going to road games and making public appearances, which led to his getting cut, as well as Owens losing his interest in the team, as in his 50 percent stake in the team was bought out for $50. Things apparently can’t get any worse for the future Hall of Famer, yet some are wondering if the New York Jets should sign TO. Go figure.

5) Steve Spurrier Says the Kids Should Play for Pay: For the second straight year South Carolina head coach Steve Spurrier has proposed paying players a stipend during the SEC spring meetings. Spurries believes that athletes that participate in revenue-generating sports should receive "approximately $3,500 to $4,000". Why not? Sure there will be some complications along the way but the NCAA should find a way to make it happen.

4) Miami Dolphins Chosen For HBO’s Hard Knocks: Is this the beginning of the end for the best reality show on TV? The Phins? Really? HBO producers can claim all they want that no other team was offered a chance to appear in the 2012 edition of Hard Knocks, but we’re not buying it. Not in a New York second [the amount of time it takes to buy a Tebow jersey]. While some wonder if appearing on Hard Knocks is a good idea and others call it harmless fun, we can agree the show has been must watch TV for NFL fans. Hard Knocks will debut on August 7. Do you think the Dolphins can sign TO before then?

3) The NBA Lottery Was Fixed!: Even though I’m not a believer, who doesn’t love a good conspiracy theory…especially if it involves David Stern? The team formerly owned by the NBA, the New Orleans Hornets, won the NBA lottery last night. One narrative says that new owner Tom Benson must have been assured he would get the top pick when he gave the NBA millions of his dollars. “And the new owner just happens to be here,” someone stated after the Hornets were awarded with the top pick. I’m just curious why the New York Knicks never have any ping pong balls? There is a conspiracy!

2) DeShawn Stevenson Installs ATM in His…Kitchen: Put that on my list of must-have appliances! After we finally add a [gluten-free] bread maker and a rice cooker [something other than a pot?] to the Mogollon kitchen, we may have to go to P.C. Richards & Son [I know a guy] and pick up an ATM. Is it just me or is the pic of Stevenson standing in his kitchen with an ATM destined to be on Tosh.O? Can the stripper pole be far behind? Somebody had to ask…

1) Michigan Commit Logan Tuley-Tillman Burns OSU Recruiting Letter: How do you not love this story? Tuley-Tillman, who decided to attend Michigan to play football, while spurning Ohio State tweeted a picture of himself burning a letter from “THE Ohio State University” or just plain “Ohio” [depends on whom you’re asking] on twitter, along with the hash tags #goblue and #beatohio. What makes this story go to the top of the list is some of the insane responses it’s getting, including death threats. Seriously people? This is a prank by a kid. Get over yourself and grow up.

Rex Ryan, Tony Sparano praise Mark Sanchez's offseason work - The Star-Ledger - NJ.com

Both coach Rex Ryan and offensive coordinator Tony Sparano have been impressed with the work starting quarterback Mark Sanchez has put in this offseason to learn a new offensive system.

"I would say he's probably put in the most amount of work, which he should," Sparano said today. "It’s a credit to Mark that he has been able to put that kind of time in. It’s really important to him, and he's done a tremendous job."

Sanchez played his first three pro seasons under offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer, so it's his first time learning a new system since his rookie year. When the Jets traded for Tim Tebow, the move raised speculation about how Tebow's presence would affect Sanchez's authority in the locker room, but Ryan said Sanchez's mastery of the new offense has been the biggest way he's been able to lead.

"You talk about the leadership of Sanchez, I think the best thing about Sanchez’s leading is in the classroom," Ryan said. "When Tony will fire off questions and Sanchez has all the answers, I think that speaks volumes to his teammates, and I see that over and over and over again."

Sparano also praised Sanchez's physical abilities, saying that he's in "outstanding physical shape" and "throwing (the ball) well."

One theme this offseason, for both Sanchez and Tebow, is improving accuracy. Ryan said Tebow has always had a "nice touch" on the deep ball, but he needs to become more accurate overall. Sanchez, meanwhile, needs to be more consistent, Ryan said.

"There's times when I think Sanchez can throw it with anybody in this league," Ryan said. "And then there’s other times when it's like, 'Ooh, gosh, Mark missed it.' "

He added: "Those are things we've got to get better at for sure."

Ryan said he was "shocked" when he learned center Nick Mangold declined Ryan's offer to take a few days off in training camp to watch his younger sister, Holley Mangold, represent the U.S. as part of the women's Olympic weightlifting team. Ryan said he would try to convince Mangold otherwise, but knew that he is locked in to his decision to be there for his Jets teammates.

"It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see your sister do something that is absolutely incredible," Ryan said. "I know how important this season is, and this game is, and our football team is, but there's other things that are equally important, maybe more important in the big picture."

* * *

Ryan said safety LaRon Landry, a free agent signing who has not been at OTAs, has a copy of the playbook and they have also exchanged text messages. Ryan is not concerned about Landry's ability to pick up the defense this summer.

OTAs are voluntary, so the Jets have not given a reason for Landry's absence. He is coming off a season-ending Achilles injury.

* * *

Ryan praised the performance today of the Jets' top three draft picks: Quinton Coples, Stephen Hill and Demario Davis. He said he has been pleasantly surprised with how well Hill gets off press coverage, an area in which Ryan thought he might struggle.

* * *

Sparano, who spent three-and-a-half seasons as the Dolphins head coach, didn't have much to say about their decision to participate in HBO's "Hard Knocks."

"I'm a New York Jet," Sparano said.

Tim Tebow has secret girlfriend, says Olympic hurdler Lolo Jones - Newstrack India

New York, Thu, 31 May 2012 ANI

New York, May 31 (ANI): Olympic hurdler Lolo Jones has claimed that New York Jets quarterback Tim Tebow is dating someone but he doesn't want anybody to know about it.

Jones, 29, has been linked to Tebow, 24, since announcing recently that, like the popular and deeply religious NFL star, she was a virgin saving herself for marriage.

Jets center Nick Mangold has made it his goal to set up the two world-class athletes, but Jones shut him down via Twitter on Tuesday, saying Tebow wasn't available.

"I'm trying to get @TimTebow to accept that he and @lolojones are a match made in heaven. #Lobow," the New York Post quoted Mangold as tweeting.

Jones claimed that Tebow has a secret girlfriend by responding to the tweet, "thanks Nick but i actually heard tebow has a girlfriend he just isn't saying it publicly. the search continues..."

Mangold led chants of "Lo-lo! Lo-lo!" around Tebow's locker last week and, in an interview with NFL Total Access that aired Tuesday, said, "This is how I'm going to spend my spring. Usually I try and do a little golfing, but that isn't going so well. So now it's matchmaking."

Speaking on HBO's 'Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel' show earlier this month, glamour girl Jones, who has posed nude for the ESPN Body Issue, said staying a virgin has been harder than training to become an Olympian.

She also said it's made it difficult for her to keep a steady boyfriend. (ANI)

Gustavo Arellano on Tim Tebow, Tom Tancredo and the glories of Chubby's ... - Westword (blog)

Gustavo Arellano.

"Denver has the most gabacho gabachos in the United States," Gustavo Arellano, author of Ask a Mexican, proclaimed yesterday, name-checking Tim Tebow (briefly), John Elway and Tom Tancredo, with whom he'd debated immigration eighteen months ago on the same Su Teatro stage.

Before that debate, Tancredo and Arellano had met across the street for dinner at El Noa Noa. And no matter how he feels about Mexicans, "Tancredo likes those tamales," Arellano told the crowd.

But then, who doesn't? For his third book -- the first was a compilation of his columns, the second a personal history of Orange County, where he grew up and is now the editor of the OC Weekly -- Arellano researched Mexican food across the country, chronicling how it spread throughout all fifty states. The result? Taco USA: How Mexican Food Conquered America, which was released last month to rave reviews.

And now Arellano was back in Denver to talk not immigration, but Mexican food -- and the contributions that Coloradans made to that cuisine's conquest. In 1886, for example, Buffalo Bill Cody introduced the first Mexican restaurant outside of the Southwest: a pop-up place at Madison Square Gardens, where his Wild West Show was performing. A century later, Steve Ells started another very big show when he opened his first Chipotle in a former Dolly Madison store on East Evans.

But Denver's biggest contribution may be its homegrown version of Mexican food, which Arellano dubbed "Den-Mex:" fiery green chile as orange as a Bronco jersey (remember those gabacho gabachos) that smothers everything, including chile rellenos and that creation unique to Colorado, the Mexican hamburger.

Taco USA lists the five greatest Mexican dishes in the United States -- and the very best, Arellano says, is the Mexican hamburger at the original Chubby's, which Stella Cordova took over in the late '60s, turning what had been a burger joint into what Arellano now deems the top Mexican restaurant in the country. (Accept no substitutes: References to Cordova's grandson, Leonard Cordova, who started Bubba Chino's, earned boos from the crowd, as did mentions of Rick Bayless and Casa Bonita.) The Mexican hamburger at Chubby's is "the dish that best personifies the Mexican-American experience, a monument to mestizaje," Arellano proclaims.

Cordova is gone, but Chubby's lives on. And the next time Arellano comes to town, he promises to hold a signing there at 1 a.m.

Even Tancredo is invited.

To learn more about the evolution of Den-Mex, read Gustavo Arellano's April 5 cover story, "Mexican Hamburger Helper."

Fantasy Football 2012: 5 Players You'd Be Insane to Draft - Bleacher Report

The fantasy football 2012 season will be very interesting as players will be on new teams, coming off surgeries or returning from retirement.

As always before the 2012 fantasy football drafts begin, it is vital to separate the players you would be insane to draft with any pick.

Over the years, I stayed away from some fantasy football busts because I had a gut feeling the guy was not going to pan out like Knowshon Moreno in Denver or just plain stink up the joint like Donovan McNabb in Minnesota.

Moreover, here are the five players that will be among the 2012 fantasy football busts that you would be insane to draft in the upcoming 2012 fantasy football season.

Tim Tebow

Will Tim Tebow be Tebowing as a New York Jet

Tim Tebow racked up 2,000 total yards and 18 total touchdowns with the Denver Broncos in only 12 games in 2011: gold for fantasy points and happy fantasy football owners.

Moreover, Tebow was a fantasy football stud and good for 15-20 fantasy points a game because he was a red-zone vulture and a hybrid running back/quarterback.

Now with the New York Jets in 2012, Tebow will be the backup quarterback again this time behind starter Mark Sanchez.

According to Rich Cimini at ESPNNewYork.com, Tebow will be in punt coverage and has worked exclusively at quarterback. The Jets have big plans for Tebow in a Wildcat package as well.

Furthermore, something tells me there are many fantasy football fans out there that will pick Tebow in their 2012 fantasy football draft because of Tebow's history going from backup to starter.

Don't do it!

Tebow will be among the 2012 fantasy football busts as Sanchez is clearly the starter in New York and Tebow can play in a variety of schemes, but won't produce enough in fantasy. 

Kenny Britt

Kenny Britt has been an explosive wide receiver in fantasy football and will be going in most 2012 fantasy football drafts as a No. 2 wide receiver.

Britt has been extremely productive in the games he has played in his injury-prone career which is high-risk, high-reward for fantasy football fans.

In 2010, Britt was a fantasy football stud and had over 700 yards and nine touchdowns but missed four games with a torn hamstring, then in 2011 had 289 yards and three touchdowns before an ACL and MCL tear in Week 3 against Denver ended his season.

Moreover, Britt is coming off a second knee surgery this offseason for a minor procedure, and I am staying far away from drafting Britt as I think he will be among the 2012 fantasy football busts in the upcoming 2012 fantasy season.   

Beanie Wells

Fantasy football owners need to put a red flag right next to the name Beanie Wells. Write knee injury in bold letters as he will be among the the 2012 fantasy football busts.

When his name comes up in your 2012 fantasy football draft, he is an even higher injury risk than Kenny Britt.

In 2011, Wells was among the fantasy football studs racking of 1,000 yards and double-digit touchdowns even missing two games because of his knee injuries.

However, in the previous season in 2010 Wells was a fantasy football bust and suffered the same knee injuries that caused him to miss three games while posting the worst numbers in his three-year career.

I have also been burned by Wells in fantasy football, and the most important thing about knee injuries with Wells is they are chronic.

Moreover, Wells will be drafted as a No. 2 running back in most 2012 fantasy football drafts, but since his knee injuries strike at any time, he should be avoided completely. 

Randy Moss

"One Clap" by DJ Steve Porter

Randy Moss has treated fantasy football owners very well over the years with his record-breaking 2007 fantasy football stud season with New England Patriots: over 1,400 yards and 23 touchdowns.

In addition, over his 13-year-career, Moss has had multiple 1,000-yard seasons with double-digit touchdowns: good news for fantasy football owners.

The not so good news for Moss is he did not play the entire 2011 season (retired), is 35 years old (85 in NFL years) and plays when he wants to play (played for three teams in the 2010 season).

Moreover, all the experts say Moss has changed for the better and will make a comeback in 2012 with San Francisco 49ers.

The 2012 Randy Moss does not have the separation he once had in previous years.

Randy will draw attention in coverage for the 49ers but not fantasy points, as Randy will be among the 2012 fantasy football busts to stay away from. 

I repeat: Do not take Randy Moss in your 2012 fantasy football draft. 

Kevin Kolb

I feel woozy coach

I remember the hype surrounding Kevin Kolb with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2010 fantasy football drafts as he was projected as a top-10 fantasy quarterback.

I guess that is why they call them projections as Kolb suffered multiple concussions in 2010 with the Eagles and 2011 with the Arizona Cardinals, and overall has been a complete fantasy football bust.

In 2012, Kolb has new a helmet designed to help prevent concussions and still has one of the best receivers in fantasy football with Larry Fitzgerald and now a promising rookie in Michael Floyd.

The concussions aside, Kolb has been a fantasy football bust in the last two seasons playing in 17 games had 3,000 yards and 16 touchdowns with 21 total turnovers (15 interceptions, six fumbles lost).

Moreover, If you pick Kolb in your 2012 fantasy football draft you might as well check yourself into a mental clinic right away, because you my friend, are insane.

John Elway. Why not hire the most successful, renowned and honored player in Broncos history to a newly created position of executive vice president, football operations? Why not let The Duke of Denver help turn around the team that has been characterized as a 'laughingstock of the NFL?' "</p> <p>Nobody is laughing now.</p> <p>There was opposition to my recommendation within and outside the organization, and across the state and the NFL.</p> <p>But, on Jan. 5, 2011, Broncos owner Pat Bowlen named Elway to the newly created position of executive vice president, football operations.</p> <p>In less than a year and a half, Elway has removed the stain, smear and stench associated with the Broncos and turned the franchise around, as he did as quarterback. Exec (M)VP.</p> <p>Consider that under The Duke's reign:</p> <p>• Peyton Manning signed with the Broncos.</p> <p>• Elway hired John Fox as coach, and the Broncos improved by five victories (counting the postseason). They finished first in the AFC West and won an amazing playoff game in overtime.</p> <p>• After the Broncos started 1-4 last season, Tim Tebow replaced Kyle Orton at quarterback, and the Broncos had a startling stretch with seven victories in eight games. Orton, Tebow and Brady Quinn are gone, and Elway made the choice to draft quarterback-in-waiting Brock Osweiler.</p> <p>• The Broncos used their No. 2 pick overall a year ago on linebacker Von Miller, who developed into the defensive rookie of the year.</p> <p>• Only five months into 2012, two-thirds of the players on the Broncos' current 90-man roster had been acquired since the Elway takeover.</p> <p>• Morale among the non-football staff members is the healthiest since Elway retired as a player after the 1998 Super Bowl championship season. The organizational responsibilities are clearer than they were late in the Mike Shana han era and throughout the Josh McDaniels disaster. Bowlen still makes the final big-picture (Manning signing, Tebow trade), big-dollar decisions, but is not engrossed in day-to-day details. Broncos president Joe Ellis heads the business side.</p> <p>• Elway brought in former player rep Michael Sullivan to handle cap and contract concerns; Matt Russell was promoted to director of player personnel; and Brian Xanders, the last link to both Shanahan and McDaniels, was fired.</p> <p>After Elway settled in, he said the power structure would be divided equally among himself, Xanders and Fox. I called the Roman-like triumvirate EFX (Effects). The X is out. The Silver Fox mostly is concentrating on what he does best: coaching.</p> <p>Elway comfortably has assumed the role of commander-in-control, as was obvious during the draft last month. Everyone in the room was allowed to offer advice and argument, but Elway ultimately made the selections and the trades. I knew that weekend Xanders wasn't entrenched at Dove Valley. His duties and influence were diminished, and he was the last Tebow defender in the building.</p> <p>Just as he was the Broncos' leader on the field by his second season, Elway is the leader off the field in his second season.</p> <p>It's the El-way, or the highway.</p> <p>To apply Elway's own expression, he pulls the trigger.</p> <p>But, then, John always has been a risk-taker and a game-breaker. He was willing to absorb the wrath of the Tebow Congregation to chase after Manning.</p> <p>How long, though, John? His goal, he has told me, is to win another Super Bowl and say, "This one's for Pat." But if he's on a parallel timetable with Peyton, why worry about drafting Brock? Does that mean Elway will remain in this job as long as he did with his other job, 16 seasons?</p> <p>John Elway, who turns 52 on June 28, loves golf, travel and his personal life too much to grind until 65 as a football executive.</p> <p>However, he has had another ambition since late in his playing career. Elway wants to own an NFL team, preferably the Broncos.</p> <p>In December 2010, Bowlen discussed two options with Elway â€" becoming an executive or a minority partner, but not both. If and when Elway succeeds at one, he would become the other â€" either as a minority investor or a majority owner with a group, if and when Bowlen and his family determine their future with ownership of the Broncos.</p> <p>Whatever else happens, the Broncos and Denver are back on the E-Train for quite a while and quite a wild ride.</p> <p><em>Woody Paige: 303-954-1095 or wpaige@denverpost.com</em></p> </div><img border="0" height="1" src="http://pixel.quantserve.com/pixel/p-89EKCgBk8MZdE.gif" width="1" /> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <span itemprop='name'>Cancer85</span> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://timtebownet.blogspot.com/2012/05/paige-john-elways-final-desire-is-to.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='https://timtebownet.blogspot.com/2012/05/paige-john-elways-final-desire-is-to.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2012-05-31T01:30:00-07:00'>1:30 AM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='https://timtebownet.blogspot.com/2012/05/paige-john-elways-final-desire-is-to.html#comment-form' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-591311131'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=6878562146894992528&postID=7260058858169566555&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=6878562146894992528&postID=7260058858169566555&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=6878562146894992528&postID=7260058858169566555&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475"); return false;' target='_blank' title='BlogThis!'><span class='share-button-link-text'>BlogThis!</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-twitter' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=6878562146894992528&postID=7260058858169566555&target=twitter' target='_blank' title='Share to X'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to X</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-facebook' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=6878562146894992528&postID=7260058858169566555&target=facebook' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=430,width=640"); return false;' target='_blank' title='Share to Facebook'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to Facebook</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-pinterest' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=6878562146894992528&postID=7260058858169566555&target=pinterest' target='_blank' title='Share to Pinterest'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to Pinterest</span></a> </div> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'> <span class='post-labels'> </span> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'> <span class='post-location'> </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div> <div class="date-outer"> <h2 class='date-header'><span>Wednesday, May 30, 2012</span></h2> <div class="date-posts"> <div class='post-outer'> <div class='post hentry uncustomized-post-template' itemprop='blogPost' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <meta content='http://www.allmediany.com/bignails/1338396254_Tim+Tebow+New+York+Jets+OTA+2LpMYcg4Lt_l.jpg' itemprop='image_url'/> <meta content='6878562146894992528' itemprop='blogId'/> <meta content='2376585657713328757' itemprop='postId'/> <a name='2376585657713328757'></a> <h3 class='post-title entry-title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://timtebownet.blogspot.com/2012/05/new-york-jets-tim-tebow-has-2nd-best.html'>New York Jets: Tim Tebow Has 2nd Best Selling Jersey, Jets Add OTs Heyer & Willis - AllMediaNY</a> </h3> <div class='post-header'> <div class='post-header-line-1'></div> </div> <div class='post-body entry-content' id='post-body-2376585657713328757' itemprop='description articleBody'> <p>New York Jets: Tim Tebow Has 2nd Best Selling Jersey, Jets Add OTs Heyer & Willis</p><div> <p><img align="left" class="detail_content_img" src="http://www.allmediany.com/bignails/1338396254_Tim+Tebow+New+York+Jets+OTA+2LpMYcg4Lt_l.jpg" /><span class="posted_date">30 May 2012 12:44 PM EST</span></p> <p><span class="c18"><em>-by Daniel Mogollon, Staff Writer; Image: Tim Tebow might be a backup but he is on the Jets frontline when it comes to sales. (Image Source: Getty Images)</em></span></p> <p><span class="c19"><strong>Tim Tebow Among NFL’s Top Selling Jerseys</strong></span></p> <p><span class="c19">According to NFLShop.com, New York Jets backup quarterback <strong>Tim Tebow</strong> has the second-highest selling NFL jersey from April 1 to May 28.</span></p> <p><span class="c19">Jersey sales may not help the Jets win any games, however many believe that Tebow’s marketability was at least part of the reason that Gang Green traded for the former Heisman Trophy winner.</span></p> <p><span class="c19">No other Jet cracked the top 25.</span></p> <p><span class="c19">Here is a list of the top 10 selling NFL jerseys from April 1 â€" May 28:</span></p> <p><span class="c19">1. Peyton Manning, Denver Broncos<br />2. Tim Tebow, New York Jets<br />3. Robert Griffin III, Washington Redskins<br />4. Andrew Luck, Indianapolis Colts<br />5. Eli Manning, New York Giants<br />6. Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers<br />7. Patrick Willis, San Francisco 49ers<br />8. Tom Brady, New England Patriots<br />9. Cam Newton, Carolina Panthers<br />10. Troy Polamalu, Pittsburgh Steelers</span></p> <p><span class="c19"><strong>Jets Sign OTs Stephon Heyer & Ray Willis</strong></span></p> <p><span class="c19">Up until now the New York Jets had done little to improve an offensive line that dropped from arguably the best in the league in 2010 to a middle-of-pack unit in 2011. On Tuesday, general manager <strong>Mike Tannenbaum</strong> added some much needed depth by signing veterans <strong>Ray Willis</strong> and <strong>Stephon Heyer</strong>.</span></p> <p><span class="c19">Heyer, who is entering his sixth NFL season, has made 35 career starts among 61 appearances. After spending his first four seasons in the league with the Washington Redskins, Heyer was a member of the Oakland Raiders last season. The Maryland man, who started twice in 2011, made a career-high 16 starts in 2009 for the ‘Skins.</span></p> <p><span class="c19">Entering his seventh season is Willis, who hasn’t seen any game action since 2009. That year, like Heyer, Willis started all 16 games. He also started 10 games in 2008. The former fourth-round pick has played in 44 games in his career. Willis wasn’t on a team in 2010 due to injury and last season he was picked up by the New Orleans Saints, but didn’t play for the NFC South Division winner. The Florida State product did not make it out of <strong>Tony Sparano’s</strong> training camp with the Miami Dolphins in 2011.</span></p> <p><span class="c19">Sparano was hired this offseason, as the Jets new offensive coordinator, in part to bring back New York’s ground-and-pound offense. The Jets also have a new offensive line coach in <strong>Dave DeGuglielmo</strong>, who came over from Miami with Sparano. DeGuglielmo has been working in the NFL since 1999.</span></p> <p><span class="c19">The biggest position of concern is right tackle, where veteran <strong>Wayne Hunter</strong> took a major step back in 2011, his first as a fulltime starter. Former second-round pick <strong>Vladimir Ducasse</strong> has been an outright bust since the Jets selected him in the 2010 NFL Draft.</span></p> <p><span class="c19">Hunter’s roster spot is probably safe, but should he falter, as he did a year ago, the Jets are in better position to make a change. Maybe this move will serve to motivate Hunter. Either way, expect Willis and Heyer to push the 30-year old veteran.</span></p> <p><span class="c19">As for Ducasse, this could end his time at right tackle. Last week during OTAs, he saw action at left guard, where starter <strong>Matt Slauson</strong> is coming off shoulder surgery. The UMass product has played in 18 games with one career start under his belt. Ducasse could be fighting for his NFL life during training camp.</span></p> <p><span class="c19">Willis and Heyer, who both stand at 6’6”, will also be competing with <strong>Austin Howard</strong> for a roster spot.</span></p> <p><span class="c19"><em>Daniel Mogollon is a member of the Pro Football Writers of America and the Football Writers Association of American.

From the moment the Jets announced the trade to bring in Tebow from the Broncos, it made little sense to anyone.</p> <p>Mike Tannenbaum and Rex Ryan may have established reputations as a general manager and head coach respectively, but recently, a lot more has gone wrong than right for the duo.</p> <p>The Jets' decision making was perplexing this offseason, but what is overlooked is the fact that they made poor choices last year that led to those this year. The most significant mistakes the Jets made last year came on the offensive side of the ball.</p> <p>Now, let's get this clear from the start, I do not believe Mark Sanchez is a great quarterback. I don't even think he has the potential to be one ever. I do believe he is a mistreated quarterback who could win a championship with adequate support. Whether teams want to believe it or not, there are not 32 elite quarterbacks available who can carry your team to a Super Bowl championship.</p> <p>Sometimes you have to face the facts and buy into a lesser quarterback, because an elite one is not available.</p> <p>That does not condemn you to a ringless existence, however, provided you make the right moves. Rarely is it the right move to fully commit to a lesser quarterback, but if that quarterback is capable of allowing you to win, then you should be willing to build the franchise around him.</p> <p>It is somewhat of a misconception that only the teams with elite quarterbacks have won the Super Bowl over the last few years. It is a legitimate argument that seven of the last 10 Super Bowl winners were led by their defenses. Each team had quarterbacks who contributed but were not necessarily elite, nor did they carry them to that point.</p> <p>When Tom Brady won his three Super Bowl rings, he played an important role. Each of those teams were led by their defenses, though. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers forced five turnovers in Super Bowl XXXVII. Second-year quarterback Ben Roethlisberger had an awful performance in 2006 before winning his second ring with the best defense in the league in 2009. Eli Manning's two rings are largely due to the awesome displays by Tom Coughlin's defenses, although it would be foolish to suggest he wasn't a major part.</p> <p>You don't need an elite quarterback to win a Super Bowl. You do need a good one, though.</p> <p>Neither Mark Sanchez or Tim Tebow are good quarterbacks. Tebow largely benefited from the Broncos' defense last year, while Sanchez's development has been ruined by his franchise's poor decision making.</p> <p>The Jets have gone past the point where they can do it, but they should have bought into Sanchez completely instead of adding Tebow.</p> <p>Recently, I gave Mark Sanchez an honorable mention on my <a target="_blank" href="http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1193698-the-all-under-appreciated-team-entering-the-2012-nfl-regular-season">all underappreciated team</a>. The reason Sanchez is there is not because his fans don't appreciate him. The reason Sanchez is there is much worse. The reason Sanchez is there is because his franchise doesn't appreciate him.</p> <p><img alt="128047802_crop_340x234" src="http://cdn.bleacherreport.net/images_root/article/media_slots/photos/000/444/449/128047802_crop_340x234.jpg?1338412892"/><span>Elsa/Getty Images</span></p> <p>It's understandable that fans would think that Sanchez isn't good enough. Very little has happened on the field to suggest that Sanchez will ever be a star like Aaron Rodgers or Tom Brady. That's the caliber of quarterback that fans crave. Fans will always compare their own signal callers to those players because of that craving.</p> <p>The casual fan doesn't understand that the quarterback position isn't like a guard or center. Yes, the casual fan realizes that the quarterback is more important, and he or she knows more names of the quarterbacks than guards. Casual fans don't understand that the quarterback position can't be a competition. At guard, you can send two prospects in and let the best player win out; the quarterback takes time to develop.</p> <p>Forget Cam Newton, Andy Dalton, Roethlisberger and Matt Ryan; those guys are the exceptions. If you want a good quarterback, you have to commit to his development for up to three or four years.</p> <p>Mark Sanchez was a victim of his franchise not considering his development since his rookie season. In a sense, Sanchez's success as a rookie hurt him, but even that shouldn't have because statistically Sanchez wasn't spectacular.</p> <p>The Jets went to the AFC Championship game during Sanchez's rookie season. Sanchez was largely a passenger that year, as he started out hot but hit a rough patch, which he never really recovered from. With a rational thought process, that is acceptable. He was a rookie; all rookies struggle at some stage. It's part of their development.</p> <p>With their young quarterback doing well on the field, despite playing in the media storm that comes with New York professional sports, the Jets made bold moves before the 2010 season to take the next step with Sanchez.</p> <p>After adding Braylon Edwards four games into his rookie season, the Jets added LaDainian Tomlinson and Santonio Holmes to the offense for his second season. Holmes and Tomlinson severely cranked up the expectations for Sanchez's second season because he was now surrounded by talent.</p> <p>All things considered, the Jets had a fine offense in 2010, one worthy of winning a Super Bowl. It wasn't the most friendly offense for a young quarterback, however. Shonn Greene and Tomlinson weren't bell cows who he could rely on, while Sanchez and Edwards were characters to say the least.</p> <p>Nonetheless, Sanchez continued to grow, and you can't really say that the Jets curtailed his development, as they once again reached the AFC Championship game. The problem is, they invested too early. Sanchez wasn't ready to carry the offense to a Super Bowl victory, and the pieces weren't in place the following year when he was ready.</p> <p>Last year, Sanchez didn't have a good year once again, but it wasn't as big a deal as the national media made it out to be.</p> <p>Much of Sanchez's struggles weren't of his own doing. Last year was the first year when I actually thought it was fair to judge Sanchez. Last year, Sanchez was never in a position to succeed however.</p> <p>From day one, the Jets had constructed their offense poorly. Peyton Manning, Aaron Rodgers or Drew Brees wouldn't have made this offense one of the best in the league.</p> <p><img alt="107868330_crop_340x234" src="http://cdn.bleacherreport.net/images_root/article/media_slots/photos/000/444/451/107868330_crop_340x234.jpg?1338412944"/><span>Al Bello/Getty Images</span></p> <p>Gone was Braylon Edwards, replaced by the lesser Plaxico Burress. Jerricho Cotchery found a new home with the Pittsburgh Steelers as Derrick Mason arrived. LaDainian Tomlinson's sell-by-date had passed, while Shonn Greene had showed his inconsistencies the previous year. Alan Faneca left for Arizona, but Wayne Hunter remained. Santonio Holmes was re-signed to a huge deal.</p> <p>The Jets offense was way too slow at the beginning of the season. Mason had nothing left. Burress was nowhere near what the team expected him to be, while the running game wasn't scaring anyone and pass protection was suspect. With all that going on around him, how could Sanchez really be expected to perform?</p> <p>I'm not one for making excuses, but I don't hold Sanchez to the same standards as Peyton Manning or Aaron Rodgers because I'm not a Jets fan. I don't hope for him to be anything that he will never be.</p> <p>This offseason, the Jets had an opportunity to move forward with Sanchez. Getting rid of Holmes was never an option because of his contract, but outside of that, they entered the offseason with a clean slate to build a better offense for Sanchez.</p> <p>Brian Schottenheimer was fired essentially for being too cautious with Sanchezâ€"because why wouldn't you throw deep balls to Burress, Mason, Jeremy Kerley and Dustin Keller all day with Wayne Hunter at right tackle?â€"and he was replaced by Tony Sparano. Sparano wasn't able to develop Chad Henne in Miami nor did he really improve the Dolphins' passing game.</p> <p>Sparano is an offensive guy that prefers to run the ball, so instead of doing everything possible to improve the team around Sanchez, they brought in a quarterback to improve the running gameâ€"Tebow.</p> <p>The Jets gave up a fourth and sixth-round pick for Tebow. That may not seem like much, and more often than not, picks that late don't work out, but by trading for Tebow the Jets gave up the chance at getting the next Jacoby Ford, Mike Williams (both fourth-round picks) or Antonio Brown(sixth round). Further compounding the trade is the fact that this year's draft had a lot of depth at wide receiver.</p> <p>Instead of getting exciting prospects to add to Stephen Hill and potentially diversify Sanchez's arsenal, the Jets brought in the greatest possible distraction to disrupt his play on the field.</p> <p>The Jets offense this year has Chaz Schilens, Stephen Hill, Santonio Holmes and Jeremy Kerley at receiver with Shonn Greene and Joe McKnight in the backfield. Compared to the group to the 2010 offense is like comparing a machete to a bread-knife.</p> <p>Instead of getting older guys to challenge for the Super Bowl in 2010, the Jets should have focused on adding pieces that could develop with Sanchez. This year their offense doesn't look to be in any better shape than it was last year.</p> <p>In fact, with Tebow on the roster and coming off a season when the locker room imploded, it could be in worse shape. There is no doubt that not every single player on the Jets roster will want Sanchez to be the starter.</p> <p>That is what happens when the franchise itself doesn't make definite decisions. The Jets don't know where they are going this year, Mike Tannenbaum and Rex Ryan don't appear to know either. You don't need a great quarterback to win in the NFL, but you do need great coaching and decision-making.</p> <p>Not one of the last 10 Super Bowl winners didn't have both.</p> <p><em>Tweeting <a target="_blank" href="http://www.twitter.com/Cianaf">@Cianaf</a></em></p> </div><img border="0" height="1" src="http://pixel.quantserve.com/pixel/p-89EKCgBk8MZdE.gif" width="1" /> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <span itemprop='name'>Cancer85</span> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://timtebownet.blogspot.com/2012/05/new-york-jets-have-mishandled-mark.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='https://timtebownet.blogspot.com/2012/05/new-york-jets-have-mishandled-mark.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2012-05-30T15:30:00-07:00'>3:30 PM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='https://timtebownet.blogspot.com/2012/05/new-york-jets-have-mishandled-mark.html#comment-form' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-591311131'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=6878562146894992528&postID=5413205912367903196&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=6878562146894992528&postID=5413205912367903196&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=6878562146894992528&postID=5413205912367903196&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475"); return false;' target='_blank' title='BlogThis!'><span class='share-button-link-text'>BlogThis!</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-twitter' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=6878562146894992528&postID=5413205912367903196&target=twitter' target='_blank' title='Share to X'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to X</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-facebook' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=6878562146894992528&postID=5413205912367903196&target=facebook' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=430,width=640"); return false;' target='_blank' title='Share to Facebook'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to Facebook</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-pinterest' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=6878562146894992528&postID=5413205912367903196&target=pinterest' target='_blank' title='Share to Pinterest'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to Pinterest</span></a> </div> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'> <span class='post-labels'> </span> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'> <span class='post-location'> </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post-outer'> <div class='post hentry uncustomized-post-template' itemprop='blogPost' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <meta content='http://pixel.quantserve.com/pixel/p-89EKCgBk8MZdE.gif' itemprop='image_url'/> <meta content='6878562146894992528' itemprop='blogId'/> <meta content='2364326389024432525' itemprop='postId'/> <a name='2364326389024432525'></a> <h3 class='post-title entry-title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://timtebownet.blogspot.com/2012/05/peyton-manning-outselling-tim-tebow.html'>Peyton Manning outselling Tim Tebow - ESPN (blog)</a> </h3> <div class='post-header'> <div class='post-header-line-1'></div> </div> <div class='post-body entry-content' id='post-body-2364326389024432525' itemprop='description articleBody'> <div>The <a href="http://espn.go.com/nfl/team/_/name/den/denver-broncos" target="_new">Denver Broncos</a> chose <a href="http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/1428/peyton-manning" target="_new">Peyton Manning</a> over <a href="http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/13200/tim-tebow" target="_new">Tim Tebow</a> and so have NFL fashionistas.<p><a href="http://content.usatoday.com/communities/thehuddle/post/2012/05/peyton-manning-tops-tebow-as-nfls-jersey-sales-champion/1" target="_blank">According to NFL.com,</a> the new Denver quarterback’s jersey has been more popular than the former Denver quarterback’s new jersey.

Hubbard has created a web site, <a href="http://www.christiansagainstnike.com/index.html#.T8ZH4cV1ymV">Christians Against Nike</a>, which slams Tebow for endorsing a company named after a pagan god of ancient Greece. Therefore, Tebow honors the devil. And don’t forget to visit our Love Sportswear site!</p> <p>In his defense, Hubbard seems to really have the goods in the crazed Christian extremist department. From <a href="http://www.christiansagainstnike.com/index.html#.T8ZH4cV1ymV">Christians Against Nike</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>God’s revelation to teach Tebow and you a lesson. The 316 yards he threw in Playoff Game 1 was no accident. He was strengthened by Jesus Christ to show Tebow and the world the blessings that come from honoring the 1st Commandment and not honoring the pagan goddess Nike!</p> <p>Tim Tebow’s terrible performance in Playoff Game 2 in which he was injured was to show Tebow and the world the curse that comes to those who break the 1st Commandment and honor the pagan goddess Nike. Christ did not strengthen Tebow in that game!</p> <p>Tebow has chosen to reject God’s will to promote His love in order to elevate honor for the pagan goddess Nike around the world.</p> <p>… Tebow better realize quick that his strength comes from Christ and his abilities are a result of his obedience to the will of God. What you are seeing on the field is a result of his continued disobedience!</p> </blockquote> <p>Hubbard also rebukes Sam Bradford, but saves most of his vitriol for Tebow. Because let’s face it, Bradford doesn’t move the publicity needle like Tebow does.</p> <blockquote> <p>Tebow is a hypocrite. Tebow pretends to have honor for God … as he kneels before us all … but he is willing to sell out to honor Nike … the goddess of victory in Paganism. Nike, the company Tebow endorses, even has a Darwin shoe honoring Darwin … the man behind the theory of evolution … which is clearly against God’s account of creation in His Word!</p> <p>I have contacted both of their fathers … Bob Tebow and Kent Bradford. From their lack of response, it is apparent that both Bob and Kent are OK with the sin of their sons toward God!</p> </blockquote> <p>Stop honoring pagan gods, or I’m telling your parents.</p> <p>I’m not linking to this guy’s apparel site, for obvious reasons. In another part of his Christians Against Nike site he brags about how many page views his apparel site has received “without a penny spent on advertising.” But hey, don’t think of Charles Hubbard as a crazed ultra Christian opportunist. Think of him as a job creator.</p> <p>H/T <a href="http://withleather.uproxx.com/2012/05/this-week-in-niche-marketing-tim-tebow-and-sam-bradford-worship-satan">With Leather</a>.</p> </div><img border="0" height="1" src="http://pixel.quantserve.com/pixel/p-89EKCgBk8MZdE.gif" width="1" /> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <span itemprop='name'>Cancer85</span> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://timtebownet.blogspot.com/2012/05/tim-tebow-nike-devil-worship-claims.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='https://timtebownet.blogspot.com/2012/05/tim-tebow-nike-devil-worship-claims.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2012-05-30T12:30:00-07:00'>12:30 PM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='https://timtebownet.blogspot.com/2012/05/tim-tebow-nike-devil-worship-claims.html#comment-form' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-591311131'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=6878562146894992528&postID=954817834453239408&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=6878562146894992528&postID=954817834453239408&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=6878562146894992528&postID=954817834453239408&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475"); return false;' target='_blank' title='BlogThis!'><span class='share-button-link-text'>BlogThis!</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-twitter' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=6878562146894992528&postID=954817834453239408&target=twitter' target='_blank' title='Share to X'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to X</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-facebook' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=6878562146894992528&postID=954817834453239408&target=facebook' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=430,width=640"); return false;' target='_blank' title='Share to Facebook'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to Facebook</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-pinterest' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=6878562146894992528&postID=954817834453239408&target=pinterest' target='_blank' title='Share to Pinterest'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to Pinterest</span></a> </div> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'> <span class='post-labels'> </span> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'> <span class='post-location'> </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post-outer'> <div class='post hentry uncustomized-post-template' itemprop='blogPost' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <meta content='http://dcist.com/attachments/dcist_bfreed/05302012_jersey.jpg' itemprop='image_url'/> <meta content='6878562146894992528' itemprop='blogId'/> <meta content='1133442550277967832' itemprop='postId'/> <a name='1133442550277967832'></a> <h3 class='post-title entry-title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://timtebownet.blogspot.com/2012/05/move-over-tebow-rgiiis-jersey-is-nfls.html'>Move Over, Tebow: RGIII's Jersey Is NFL's Most Popular - DCist.com</a> </h3> <div class='post-header'> <div class='post-header-line-1'></div> </div> <div class='post-body entry-content' id='post-body-1133442550277967832' itemprop='description articleBody'> <div> <p><span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image c3"><img alt="05302012_jersey.jpg" height="400" src="http://dcist.com/attachments/dcist_bfreed/05302012_jersey.jpg" width="400" /><br /><em class="c2">Via NFLShop.com</em></span></p> Even though he's still months away from taking his first professional snap, Robert Griffin III just continues to be a beacon of admiration for football fans far and wide. The untested rookie's latest achievement: Topping the sales charts for jersey sales. <p>Griffin's No. 10 jersey was the <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/dc-sports-bog/post/robert-griffin-iii-has-the-nfls-top-selling-jersey/2012/05/29/gJQAX3VdzU_blog.html">best-selling in May and the third-hottest item since April 1</a>, D.C. Sports Bog reported yesterday. The more amazing feat though: Rookie jerseys only went on sale April 26. In that truncated span, Griffin has been a better seller of football memorabilia than Peyton Manning, Tim Tebow or even this year's top NFL Draft pick, Andrew Luck.</p> <p>A replica jersey made by Nike retails for $99.99 on NFLShop.com, with the authentic articles, manufactured by Reebok, going for $149.99. (The replicas come ready-made with Griffin's name and number; the real things require added customization.)</p> <p>Still, scaling the merchandise charts isn't exactly a new feat for a future Redskins quarterback. Redskins fans tend to be a little excitable when it comes to the gear. As Sports Bog points out, it was just two years ago that Donovan McNabb's Redskins jersey was the second best-selling.</p> <p>But Griffin's jersey is notable for more than just the exciting playmaker who will don it on the field. It's also the first NFL jersey to feature a Roman numeral on the back next to the player's name, thanks to a recent change to league rules allowing players to include generational designations. Of course, an ESPN blogger earlier this month thinks that including the "III" on the jersey is <a href="http://espn.go.com/blog/playbook/fandom/post/_/id/3023/robert-griffin-iiis-historic-roman-conquest">just another way for Griffin to extend his nickname in a very lucrative way</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>So why is the Roman numeral on his jersey? Presumably because it's part of Griffin's personal brand. And that's not the only kind of branding at work here, because the Roman numeral III can also be viewed as three stripesâ€"which happens to be the visual signature of adidas, which signed Griffin to a big endorsement contract back in February. In fact, Uni Watch suspects Griffin chose adidas over Nike specifically in large part because of the potential marketing synergies between the Roman numeral and the stripes. He's the perfect foil for the trefoil. Think that sounds far-fetched? Consider this: Everyone else refers to Griffin as RG3, but adidas commercials refer to him as rgIII.</p> </blockquote> <p>So, whether you're into genealogy or sports marketing or so excited to see Griffin play that you'll drop your cash on pre-season merchandise, it appears there are plenty of excuses to buy one of Griffin's jersey.</p> <p>And the new kid won't be the only Redskin taking advantage of the NFL's easing on generational markers. Roy Helu will be adding "Jr." to his jersey this year, just as he wore it in colllege.</p> </div><img border="0" height="1" src="http://pixel.quantserve.com/pixel/p-89EKCgBk8MZdE.gif" width="1" />
