Report: Tebow eyes home in Sanchez's hood - NFL.com - Marc Sessler -"(Tebow) really wants to live there," a source told the newspaper, describing the two homes nestled inside the Trump National Golf Course community in Bedminster as a "football's throw apart." The spread is owned by none other than The Donald himself, who sounds an awful lot like the mouthpiece on this one.
Jones established legacy as a legend, and did it for one team - Tom Verducci - SI.com - Just how rare was Chipper Jones? First consider that he is a lifetime .300 hitter (.304) who has hit more than 450 home runs (454). Only 10 players ever retired as a .300 hitter with 450 home runs. But now consider that he did all that damage for only one team, and guess how many players ever did that. The answer is just four: Lou Gehrig for the New York Yankees (1923-39), Mel Ott for the New York Giants (1926-47), Ted Williams for the Boston Red Sox (1939-60) and Stan Musial for the St. Louis Cardinals (1941-63). That's it -- and all a very long time ago. In short, Jones is the only player to break into the major leagues in the past 70 years and hit .300 with 450 homers while remaining true to one team.

Tim Tebow did not come to NY Jets to be a backup, thinks he can beat out Mark Sanchez for starting QB job: sources - NY Daily News - Gary Myers - A major factor in Tebow’s push to come to New York over Jacksonville, his hometown, is that he sees a clear path to resuming his career as a starter, sources tell the Daily News.
Locals knew Tebow was destined for greatness - NYPOST.com - “Everybody knows him here, knows his message,” Wiles said. “Jacksonville would have been the easy thing for him. I’m glad he chose New York, just because it’s a bigger challenge for him. And there’s nothing Tim Tebow loves more than a challenge.”
Tim Tebow, Jets' new evangelical quarterback, can bring fans to their knee | NJ.com - Kevin Manahan - Tim Tebow is Howdy Doody in a helmet. No, he is Opie Taylor running for touchdowns — while reciting Bible verses, stopping to find a lost dog, visiting sick children in a hospital and helping a little old lady across the street, all before he reaches the end zone. So, get ready New Jersey, now that Tebow has been traded to the Jets, you’re about to experience a dose of wholesomeness this area hasn’t seen since milk trucks stopped delivering to your door. Tebow is the God-fearing, All-American evangelical hero — born to missionaries and delivered during a miraculous birth — who pledged his life to Jesus at 6 years old.
