Tim Tebow won't beat the Jets again in 2012, because he is now one.

Apparently yesterday was a pretty big day for football news.  Not only did the Bountygate punishments come out, the NFL’s most popular player also switched teams.  When Peyton Manning signed with the Denver Broncos, you knew Tim Tebow would have to go somewhere else to play his unusual trade.  What nobody expected was that Tim Tebow would be traded to the New York Jets.  That’s right, the nation’s biggest media market now has the nation’s most talked-about athlete taking snaps under center.

In case you forgot, last year Tebow’s Broncos beat the Jets with a last-second 95-yard touchdown drive in which Tebow scrambled, passed, and generally made the Jets look foolish.  I have no doubt this icewater is what put Tebow on Jets coach Rex Ryan’s map, and that the whole point of bringing Tebow in is to light a fire under Jets quarterback Matt Sanchez.  They want Tebow to push the Sanchise, and vice-versa.

“Mark Sanchez is, has been and will be our starting quarterback,” said Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum of their quarterback situation.  “We obviously know that Tim has a magnetic following.  We understand the popularity of the backup quarterback, and this one is more unique than others.”

That’s what Denver said last year.  Next thing you know, Tim Tebow has pushed Kyle Orton out of the starter’s position and the Broncos make the playoffs and get a win over the vaunted Steelers.  Taking on Tim Tebow is dangerous for your other quarterbacks, especially when they’re not exactly MVP-caliber.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
