Tim Tebow is the right play for Gang Green - ESPN New York - Ian O'Connor - In the end, the Jets are reducing this to a pure football decision. They want to run the ball, and Tebow can run the ball. He can play a little quarterback, maybe a little H-back, as Sparano has the system to accommodate his talents and limitations. So forget the sales of tickets and merchandise and the forecasted faith healing in the locker room, and understand the essence of the deal. Tim Tebow is a good football player, and the 2011 Jets definitely didn't have enough of those.
Kiszla: John Elway heartbroken at dumping Tim Tebow, calling the QB "a great kid" - The Denver Post - Elway killed Tebowmania in the Rocky Mountains, an act that won't easily be forgiven if Manning fails to make Denver a legitimate Super Bowl contender. The sense of betrayal from supporters of Tebow is a subplot of a big story that the Broncos won't be able to erase as easily as removing photographs of the young quarterback from the walls of team headquarters.
Namath calls Tebow trade 'publicity stunt' by Jets - NYPOST.com - The Hall of Fame quarterback on Wednesday told ESPN Radio he did not approve of the deal. “I am sorry, I do not agree with this situation. I can't agree with it. I just think it’s a publicity stunt. I really think it's wrong. I can’t go for it,” Namath said Wednesday. “I don’t think they know what they’re doing over there right now.”
New NY Jets quarterback Tim Tebow will be a big hit on Madison Ave., says experts - NY Daily News - Christian Red - Move over “Broadway Joe,” and make room for “Times Square Tim.” Gang Green fans and all of the tri-state area should brace themselves for a marketing and branding phenomenon not seen in these parts since, well, Linsanity. “Tim Tebow can be the king,” said marketing expert Ronn Torossian, the CEO and president of 5W Public Relations in New York. “In terms of the Tebow brand, I think that Tim Tebow is already a national celebrity. He’s known off the field. There is no bigger place to shine than in New York City and I think the Tebow brand is one that transcends sports. I think the guy can get unlimited sponsorships in New York City.”
Opinion: Fleeing advertisers doom Rush Limbaugh’s business model - David Brock - POLITICO.com - The financial model that fueled Rush Limbaugh’s radio show seems to have disintegrated in recent weeks, with at least 100 advertisers reportedly abandoning his radio program.
The NY Jets didn't trade for Tim Tebow to put him on Rex Ryan’s bench behind Mark Sanchez - NY Daily News - Mike Lupica - This is the old line about how I can't hear a word you're saying because your actions are screaming at me. The Jets can say anything they want to now about how much they love Mark Sanchez and they can throw more money at him if they want to, but they might as well declare the quarterback's job with the New York Jets wide open right now. You don't bring in a rock star and tell him to go wait in the wings. Or sing back-up.
