Tim Tebow to the Jets for two mid-round picks

UPDATE: ESPN's Adam Schefter is reporting there is a hang-up in the trade because of language in Tim Tebow's contract. Tim Tebow has $5 million worth of recapture language, meaning Jets would have to pay back money to Denver. If the trade falls apart, the St. Louis Rams may get back into the Tebow derby.
After the Denver Broncos signed Peyton Manning, quarterback Tim Tebow needed a new home. He's found it. Tebow and a seventh-round draft pick have been shipped to the New York Jets for fourth- and sixth-round draft picks. All picks are for 2012.
Tebow became a sensation during the 2011 season. After starting the season as a backup to Kyle Orton, he started in a string of late-in-the-game comebacks. The Broncos released Orton, and Tebow seemed to be their man. But when Manning was released by the Colts, Broncos general manager John Elway jumped at the chance to sign him.

With the Jets, Tebow will have to compete with Mark Sanchez for a starting job. Sanchez threw seven interceptions in his last three games as the team fell apart in the midst of a playoff race. The Jets finished the season 8-8, with losses to the eventual Super Bowl champion New York Giants and the hapless Miami Dolphins keeping the Jets from playoff contention.
Jets defensive back Antonio Cromartie does not approve of the move. He tweeted:
Y bring Tebow in when we need to bring in more Weapons for @Mark_Sanchez let's build the team around him. We already signed to 3 year ext.
New York signed Sanchez to a three-year extension on March 10.

Ben Henderson: A Champion On All Levels




Ben Henderson will fight this weekend to take Frankie Edgars UFC title.


A few weeks ago Ben reflected on his career, to now owning his long time gym:

“It’s a pretty big difference from five years ago cleaning out the toilets, taking out the garbage, and going on Starbucks runs for the owner and his wife. Pretty big difference, and I’m happy for it,”

“I was pretty blessed with my situation when I came out here to Arizona. The old owner whose name was Jason Beck, he asked John Crouch, who he was friends with from back in the old school Gracie Academy days, he knew John had some fighters in Denver and he asked if he and some of his fighters would like to move to Arizona and just train and fight full time. So early on in my career I was able to move out here to Arizona and just train full time,”
“I was sponsored from The Lab. I got like a couple hundred dollars a month, just barely enough to survive, but I cleaned toilets, mopped mats, do all the odd ends sort of jobs. So I was able to train full time, so I’d train in the mornings, train in the afternoons, but in between I’d clean up, I’d teach the kids’ classes, clean up at night also.”
“Going from that to gym owner to fighting for the title, it’s something I am very excited for.


Excited to Celebrate the New Champion

Ben "Smooth" Henderson!!!!!
