Gene Simmons Defends Tim Tebow from Hypocrisy

KISS Singer Gene Simmons Defends Tim Tebow from Religious Hypocrisy on His Christianity | Independent Journal Review:

"‘They’re never going to pick on a guy who tortures dogs [a reference to Michael Vick, and can we get an Amen for that?] or… perhaps has gone to jail for murder,’ Simmons added. ‘But if he believes in Christ his Lord, then he’s open season… it’s like what country are we living in?’"

History of American Football

A Shadow History of American Football | Cracked.com:

"a recent study found that as many as 100 percent of NFL players are men. Ladies, don't you like football? Here are some leagues that don't require a certain percentage of hair on the chest.

Canadian Football League -- Rules are generally the same, but there are only three downs and players apologize for tackling each other. Also, cross-checking is not allowed. In CFL play, a team may not have more than one moose in its defensive line unless the offense includes a bear.

Derpy football is the second-most entertaining football.

The XFL -- This is what happens when you make the CFL angry. Mister, you wouldn't like the CFL when it's angry. (I apologize for making two Hulk jokes in succession, but this is the world we live in now.)

Legends Football League -- To show more respect for its players, the LFL changed its name from the Lingerie Football League and removed all pink bows from the lingerie. Known for its exceptionally vicious play, it includes special rules, like an automatic first down after putting Nair in a player's helmet. There is also a same-side 5-yard penalty for talking about a teammate behind her back, although this is waived if you can't believe that bitch Jessica would do something like this to you; you thought she was your best friend.

Tiny-Mite Pop Warner League -- Known primarily for its running game, this team of 4- to 6-year-olds found itself utterly crushed in an All-Star exhibition game against the NFC East.

Wikipedia

Pop refused to look at them out of disgust (at both their performance and their crumpled little collarbones).

Fantasy Football -- Christ, this is depressing. It's Dungeons & Dragons minus a story and with even more stats. Unless you play this for money, consider doing something more productive with your time, like molesting dolphins. I know that will offend some readers, but I'm not worried, because I just rolled 20 to defend against Impotent Rage spells.

The LXF -- The League of Extraordinary Footballers is composed entirely of football players from fiction who band together to defeat Raiders, Buccaneers, and Bill Belichick. This true fantasy league re-emerges every 20 years or so to defy everyone who says they'll never make something of themselves. Star players include the Waterboy, The Replacements-edition Keanu Reeves, and the entire cast of Friday Night Lights, who may be doomed to heartbreak, but dammit, they're going to win this game."

Jacksonville Tv reporting Jaguars signed Tim Tebow

Local Jax Tv ch 47 reports the Jaguars signed Tim Tebow:

Apparently the Jaguars are in some sort of negotiations. Neither Tebow's agent, Jaguars or the NFL is confirming or most notably denying the story. With its starting QB out for the season, few options and a dismal season ahead the JAX Jags owner may be over ruling his new and unproven GM. Next year they will have an entirely new coaching staff. Maybe Tebow's hometown was always his destination….

"A-Manning" and "Special K" score big, NFL Week #1

Peyton Manning and Colin Kapernick proved a point this weekend with big impressive wins against tough opponents. The Niners and Broncos are going to be red Xs on every teams calendar.

Russell Wilson and Cam Newton did not impress us at all.
Oakland's QB Pryor, EJ Manuel and Carson Palmer played tough, showed grit and came up short.
Teams that showed major weaknesses and needs moving forward. New England Patriots and the New York Giants.
Dallas and the New York Jets showed promise in major wins for their franchises. Geno Smith beat the Bucs with the help of a rejuvenated defense and a stupid shove. Romo's Cowboys showed up enough to finally beat the Giants at home thanks to 7 turn overs......
Who will be showing up on the Trade and Waiver wires soon: Glaubert, Sanchez, Tebow, Wilson and Akers.
There are two games left in week one. Does your Fantasy Football Team need an RGIII miracle????
Mine does, thanks to Peyton and Brady...............

Tim Tebow changing positions

Tim Tebow reportedly gets inquiry to change positions - NFL.com:

"TheMMQB.com's Peter King reported Thursday night on NBC that Tebow received an 'inquiry' from an NFL team about possibly trying another position, but Tebow wasn't interested. Tebow reportedly also received some interest from USA Rugby in changing sports. That's not happening.

It's hard to knock Tebow for his unwillingness to change positions. He hasn't made it at quarterback, and there's little reason to think he could succeed at another spot. Tebow tipped his intentions after the Patriots released him when he wrote on Twitter: 'I will remain in relentless pursuit of continuing my lifelong dream of being an NFL quarterback.'

Perhaps another team will let Tebow take a shot at pursuing that dream next offseason when rosters expand to 90 men again. It's hard to imagine him getting a job at quarterback in the meantime.
