Woody Paige: Tim Tebow run out of Denver, but Broncos will never see another like him - The Denver Post - Tim Tebow — one of the most extraordinary athletes ever to pass through Denver — was run out of town Wednesday. It was all about pass and run — not about popularity, polarization, positive force and personality, faith, hope and charity, and mile-high regard. Everybody in the world knows Timmy can run. He produced that remarkable run to the postseason for the Broncos last season.

Tebow Pledges to Put Team First With Jets - NYTimes.com - Ben Shpigel - Late Wednesday night, in a conference call, Tebow commended Ryan, whom he said he has admired ever since the Jets were featured on HBO’s “Hard Knocks.” He praised Mark Sanchez, with whom he shared a “great conversation” over the phone. And he said he was looking forward to seeing how the Jets intend to use him — in short yardage, in the red zone and, perhaps most prominently, in the Wildcat formation. “I always try to put the team first, and however I can help the team, that’s what matters,” he said.
