Just how badly will the Jets use Tim Tebow?

My Turn, No My Turn, Wait Your Turn, It Is My Turn.....
“Whatever I’m asked to do,” ,,,, “I’m going to do it.” said Tim Tebow in training camp.

Realistically, Rex Ryan has said the Jets will be using Tebow as a "Football Player" for 20-30 plays per game. Listed as the back up QB that means Tim Tebow will be leading a "Wildcat Offense" for up to 50% of the offensive plays from scrimmage. What is particularly scary for Mark Sanchez, Jets #1 QB, is that his head coach has lost confidence in his ability to score in the Red Zone and 3rd down situations. This are scenarios that Tebow is well suited as a natural leader, motivator and all around athlete.

While it might be a good patch for the Jets offense this season it is not the ideal situation for the franchise, or Quarterbacks, long term. If Sanchez is ever going to break out and become the Hall of Fame caliber QB his talent and skill suggest then he needs a "Tebow Time" wake up call. Rex should man up and tell him he sucks as a leader and help him earn the trust of the team. Tebow is such a nice guy he won't go for the jugular to finish off Sanchez and move up. The fans have already left Sanchez and thrown all in with "Tebow-mania" or at least "Next QB-mania". Finally the team. In order to succeed this season the have two strategic choices. Split practice time and reps, or, divide the offense into two packages and practice separately together......

Any one who has ever played team sports knows there can be only one field general calling the plays and leading the team. Either option kills Sanchez as a future franchise QB since Tebow will get the Red Zone reps and hero points from the fans. The players may all understand Sanchez got them to the 16 yard line but Tebow will get the TD stat. In football grace under pressure is a learned trait that can only develop under fire and intense pressure on a world wide stage with 80,000 fans screaming their heads off. That is what Mark desperately needs from Rex Ryan but he won't get that now. Sanchez should have said "Play Me or Trade Me."

What about Tebow? Everyone knows Tim Tebow has a limited NFL QB skill set but is an outstanding all
around football player with the manners of Mother Theresa and the fire in the belly leadership style of General Patton. With Tebow as a starting QB the Jets will score based on the force of Tebow's will and they would more than likely make the playoffs. But no further, post season defenses are so finely tuned the Tebow led Jets would suffer an embarrassment not unlike Denvers loss last season to the Patriots. Tim Tebow, if properly developed and mentored, will be a great journeyman QB and give a team 5-7 years of playoff appearances. The problem is he will not get that development in New York. The Jets have to win right now in order to cash in on the expensive free agent WR/TE corps they signed. So Tebow gets the "Red Zone"/ Band Aid role.

Someone in the NFL Chairman's office should swoop in and find a reason to send Rex Ryan fishing with Sean Payton this season. Just to save the careers of two potentially great Quarterbacks.

Eli Manning on Saturday Night Live

Eli Manning held his own on Saturday Night Live. While not quite getting a bit like his brother Peyton's satire of the NFL kids program the youngest Manning brother can add three classic SNL skits to his collection of two Super Bowl Trophies and MVP awards.

Trick Shot Quarterback now a Buffalo Bill

Monmouth University quarterback Alex Tanney can hit the either side of a goalpost from 50 yards away throwing from his knees and complete to a receiver in the bed of a truck speeding away. Undrafted Tanney will stand behind two seventh round QBs but work for the best development coach in the NFL.
Is he ready to back up the Bills Harvard grad phenom Ryan Fitzpatrick?
Can you see Tanney as a special teams option popping 2 point conversions to tight ends?
First Tim Tebow now Alex Tanney, the NFL has gone gimmick crazy, but these guys are straight up winners.

Men fail to make NFL Cheerleader Squads

An NFL Cheerleader's fans worst nightmare
NFL fans in Houston and Denver dodged a couple of "smallish" torpedoes after two men entered into the open cheerleader tryouts. The Broncos and Texans cheer squads, along with most of the other NFL franchises, annually host highly competitive open tryouts for their few open positions. Joining the recent rash of party crashing traditionally female only events the two men, whom I chose not to name, told the Yahoo reporter that they were primarily interested in the attention. They both mentioned "Being the first male cheerleader in the NFL".

What the two morons failed to realize is the Baltimore Ravens already have male cheerleaders.

Basketball is a Big Deal in Kentucky

By Jared Dyer

The University of Louisville and the University of Kentucky are arch rivals in basketball and both colleges are both in the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

Louisville and Lexington are the first and second largest cities in the state of Kentucky. These two cities are also home to the first and second largest colleges in the state. The UK Wildcats have called Lexington, KY home for a very long time. The school was founded way back in 1865.

The University of Kentucky has had a lot of high profile coaches. Adolph Rupp was a long time coach at Kentucky and is one of the most successful college basketball coaches to ever live. Rupp is a hall of fame coach who won four national titles at Kentucky. Several decades later Rick Pitino coach at Kentucky before eventually moving to his current position at the University of Louisville.

Before Rick Pitino went to Louisville the Kentucky Wildcats were by far the most dominant college
