The popular Tim Tebow has just been cut by the New England Patriots as they were widdling down their roster to 53 players. Tebow joined the Patriots in June as sort of a last chance effort. In three preseason games, he went 11-30 for 145 yards, two touchdown passes and two interceptions. He did also run for 91 yards in 16 attempts.
Tebow has made it clear on twitter that he's not quitting but you can't help but wonder if this is last coming of Tebow? No other teams seem to be interested in him at the moment what with the fact that he still can't throw the ball accurately. He can try his luck up north in Canada but chances are that this is the last time we ever see Tim Tebow in an NFL uniform.
He will always have the 2011 season with the Broncos where he actually lead the team to a playoff win (something Manning hasn't done yet). But that will likely remain the one bright spot for the pro career of Tim Tebow.
P.S. Perhaps divine intervention will help Tebow get back in the NFL in the form of injuries.

Tim Tebow Going to the Pats
Just when you thought his career was dead, he's resurrected.
The favorite son of football, Tim Tebow, will sign with the New England Patriots. The current offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach of the Pats, Josh McDaniels, was the coach in Denver when the the team drafted him in 2010. McDaniels was fired later that season for a poor record and the Broncos would trade Tebow after the 2011 season out of spite.
These two now get reunited as Tebow now enters Belichick land, a land that is not favorable towards members of the media. It's where no one is above the team and something like Tebowmania will be squashed.
There is of course absolutely no chance for Tim Tebow in taking over the starting quarterback position from Tom Brady. So why is Tebow in New England and now? I say it's Gronk. Every now and then, there is an analyst that says that Tebow could play as a TE in the NFL. Maybe Belichick is taking that to heart. Since Gronkowski keeps getting hurt, Tebow might be useful as a backup TE... and QB if anything should happen to Brady. Though they'd probably just turn to Ryan Mallet in that scenario.
Anyway, at least Tebow will be able to work under Tom Brady and perhaps work on that nonexistent throwing motion. Then again, Tom has better things to do.

Mularkey Fired; Tebow not in Jags Future?
The bunch of Mularkey is gone.
After one season as the Jacksonville Jaguars head coach, Mike Mularkey has been fired. The relatively new owner Shad Khan fired Mularkey to give his new GM David Caldwell a clean slate to work with. Caldwell was introduced as the team's new GM to signify the "out with the old, in with the new" attitude (even though the old was just a year in this case).
On top of this, the possible Tebowmania in Jacksonville was silenced by Caldwell right when he got in the door. Caldwell said about acquiring Tebow "I can't imagine a scenario in which he'll be a Jacksonville Jaguar -- even if he's released." It seems that Shad Khan isn't going to overrule this possibility.
"It's not my decision," Khan said. "I want to do whatever to help this team win. Who the players are is really the general manager's and coaches' -- it's a football-side operation decision. It's really not my decision."
Two careers in Jacksonville done before they even had a chance. Though the Tim Tebow idea maybe a bit more literal in this case. Right now it certainly seems like Khan is going to let the football people decide, a concept lost on Jerry Jones. It's probably the best move for the team in terms of winning but when it comes to publicity and attendance it won't help.
I am not saying that Khan should overrule his newly hired GM because he shouldn't. It just would've been nice to see if a team would get behind Tim Tebow completely. With Jacksonville making these moves, it seems "Tebow's Time" in the NFL might almost be up.

It's Coach Season (Not Duck Season)
Looks like some owners are starting their New Year's resolutions a bit before the ball drops.
The 2012 regular season has ended which means that it's time for some firings across the NFL. The most notable one is Andy Reid being fired by the Eagles after 14 years as their head coach. Philadelphia set the bar high for Andy Reid this year but the Eagles could not come close to reaching it. They went 4-12 (which is worse than 8-8), struggled to win the games they had won, and were certainly way off of making the postseason. Reid lead the Eagles to 5 NFC title games and one Super Bowl appearance but the team has noticeably dropped off the last couple of years and that cost him his job.
Another big firing was Norv Turner of the Chargers along with GM A.J. Smith. This firing came 6 years too late as Turner should never been hired nor should anyone have replaced Marty Schottenheimer. The Chargers failed to make the playoffs each of the last 3 years and San Diego is glad to see him leave.
Perhaps the biggest surprise firing was Lovie Smith. The Chicago Bears fired him after a 10-6 season in which they were just short of making the playoffs. Looks like that last second field goal that Adrian Peterson help set up for the Vikes cost Smith some Love. Smith was 81-63 as the Bears head coach and did manage to get the Bears to a Super Bowl a while back but failing the make the playoffs for the 2nd year in a row cost him big especially considering the team started the season out 7-1.
As for other notable moves, Arizona fires Ken Whisenhunt after a disastrous 5-11 season. Three straight years of failing to make the playoffs along with the trying to find Kurt Warner's replacement has now lead to finding a replacement for Whisenhunt. The Kansas City Chiefs fired Romeo Crennel after one season in which the team went 2-14. They keep GM Scott Pioli but are looking for a new head coach. General Manager of the New York Jets Mike Tannenbaum has been fired but Rex Ryan will remain as head coach. Pity the owner Woody Johnson hasn't realized yet that no Ryan can be a successful head coach in the NFL. Last one I'll mention is that GM Gene Smith of the Jaguars has been fired. Coach Mike Mularky could be next but it's clear that the new owner Shad Khan wants a new direction for this team. Could that be with Tim Tebow?
So many firings today on this Black Monday that I can't but help but wonder where some of these fired coaches will end up. Andy Reid will likely get a job somewhere but it isn't a sure thing. Romeo Crennel will probably go back to being a coordinator for some other NFL team. As for the others, we'll see.

Still So Much to See with the World Ending
As the end of the world is nigh, there is so much that I wish I could've seen in the sports world before our time was up. Here are the top ten things I was still waiting to see before the apocalypse came.
10. The NHL to come back. Be nice for Hockey to at least make the list.
9. The Sharks win the Stanley C… HA HA HA HA YEAH RIGHT!!!!
8. Mayweather v. Pacquiao. We wanted it for years but the promoters were always just too much of a tease like Justin Bieber (he's gay, get over him).
-------------------------
Well it's been a good life anyway having seen the SF Giants and the Red Sox each win a pair of titles, see Chelsea win the Champions Cup, and to see Mark Sanchez get Butt Slapped in the face by his own lineman. Or was it a "Tight End"?

7. See if Tim Tebow could be a good QB/player in the NFL throughout a career. If the heavens can help it, they might just postpone the apocalypse to just see if the "other" son of god can be a starter in the pros.
6. See if any of the PED users got into the Baseball Hall of
Fame. It doesn’t look good for any of the potential candidates from the steroid
era but I’m sure most of them were just happy not to go to jail.
5. The other woman finally step forward and identify Ben Roethlisberger
as her rapist. That and say Kobe joined in. See you a**holes in hell.
4. See the Cubs win the World Series. This is really the only significant thing in baseball that I would like to see happen. Them not winning in over a 100 years is the true disaster here.
3. Derek Jeter retiring from baseball. This I would've LOVE to see happen. I was going to throw a
great party with chips, dip, and a roast of Jeter. No, an actual roasting of
Jeter. He would’ve tasted so good in pinstripes.
2. 49ers win super bowl. While I was actually alive for three of
the 49ers super bowl victories, I was too young to appreciate or even be aware
of any of them. I’ve just been around for the heartache really.
1.The US get to the Semis of the World Cup. This one is more
of a dream than anything else. To win it would be the Impossible Dream.
-------------------------
Well it's been a good life anyway having seen the SF Giants and the Red Sox each win a pair of titles, see Chelsea win the Champions Cup, and to see Mark Sanchez get Butt Slapped in the face by his own lineman. Or was it a "Tight End"?
It's been fun while it lasted. Now if you don't mind I got to try and die without my virginity. I don't want to go out like Tebow.
P.S. If the world doesn't end, be sure to click here for a preview of this weekend's 49ers game. Also be sure to check out the 49ers Section at Prosportsblogging.com for my take on the team before and after every game.
