- Tim Tebow is NOT going to Jacksonville, at least not if the new GM (who promptly fired the head coach two days after he was hired) has anything to say about it. "I can't imagine a scenario where he would be a Jacksonville Jaguar," [David] Caldwell [the new Jaguar GM] said.
The guy's not even fit for an NFL roster -- at any position. "Slash" does not work in the NFL either. He's not a full-time running back, wide receiver, tight end, or anything else.
The only thing is I can't say that on the basis of criminal record - the fact is, he sucks and the only reason the 2011-12 Denver Broncos went 9-7 and not 3-13 is because of the fact that the league continually plungered down our throats this concept that the Holy Two-Minute Drill of God would win literally at will, even with games that everyone should've seen coming as scripted!
He's basically a Christian revival in a very secular/sacreligious NFL. He is not of the caliber to be one of the 1500 or so players on NFL rosters these days. That's why he sold the jerseys in Denver last year. That's why the league wanted him in a bigger market this year.
Fact is: He makes too much money and has too much a ministry for the right-wing NFL for either him to stay at the Jets (now) or for someone to pick him up and make the mistake.
But, to respond to this from Jason Cole:
"Now all of this will lead to plenty of sarcastic responses from Tebow critics, including snarky remarks about how Tebow's career is over..."
The only reason that Tim Tebow's NFL career is not OVER -- right now -- is because of his ministry and his right-wing beliefs fitting in with the league office. Someone will try to ram him down our throats again.
- Robert Griffin III's NFL career may be over after one season. The week after the Redskins were eliminated, Griffin had literally reconstructive knee surgery to repair tears in both his Anterior and Medial Cruciate Ligaments.
And here's the kicker: The NFL is receiving official complaints as to the condition of Fed Ex Field in Washington -- AND the Players' Association thinks coach Mike Shanahan might've circumvented his medical staff and forced RGIII to continue playing in the playoff game against Seattle, leading to him tearing both his ACL and MCL.
A decision on an official complaint on that end is expected from the NFLPA this week. It's not expected to lead to much.
He's looking at possibly 7-12 months to see if he is ready, but he has one benefit: Adrian Peterson tore an ACL late in the 2011 season and almost broke the single-season rushing record in leading the Vikings to the playoffs this year.

- And, in a piece of news that should surprise abjectly NO ONE: Junior Seau's testing on his brain revealed significant CTE injuries.
