on his FB page.

He'd be a great Patriot. If he can help the Pats win, we're happy.

I always took him to be an Elway-like teabagger. Don't ask me where I got that impression -- I know it was something he said or did, but can't even remember what it was at this point.

I think his views are in line with gay rights...

Patriots owner Robert Kraft has given $5,000 -- the maximum allowed under federal election law -- to Obama. Jets owner Woody Johnson not only has funneled the same amount to Romney, he serves as the New York finance chairman for the former Massachusetts governor who is a Patriots’ fan.

The total score, based on the most recent information on donations directly to the candidates from the NFL ownership ranks: Romney $63,500; Obama $12,500.

Only New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, who’s overseen three Super Bowl-winning teams, has heavily favored Democrats and given enough to make the top 10 contributors list. Of the $33,600 he has contributed since 2009, only $4,800 went to Republicans.

having MS on the Broncos, so now even hardcore teabag types are open to the idea!

Just kidding. Just a little joke.

Good for Kraft and the Pats.

Repeated a couple of times: "If he could help us win."

Back in the bad old days, many baseball owners would claim they would sign black ballplayers "if they had the ability." Funny thing, so many of them seemed to lack that ability.

who they didn't think would help them win????

If not, my thought is that "if he can help us win" could easily be code for "not in this lifetime."

he clearly meant it.

... so in this case my cynicism is probably ill-founded.

He is 6'2 and 255 lbs which is small for a defensive end in the NFL. Normally they are about 300 lbs at least. That will be his main problem not being gay.

Sam would have a tough go playing off the blocks of an OT outweighing him by 50/70 lbs. and four inches taller as a DE in the NFL.

factor.

He seems smart enough and has the athletic ability, and if he is willing to be coached at the new position he just might be a steal for some team in the draft.

to the Patriots, I can almost guarantee that the coaching staff there would try everything they could to find some position where he could excel, even if it's not being a DE.

He's big enough to play with a hand on the ground but fast enough to rush the passer standing.

and Tim did not make the roster, this is a man true to his word he does not pickup players because they are popular he does it because they help the team win football games. I am a huge fan of Tim Tebow and Michael Sam and I agree with Craft put the best player on the field not the player that will earn you votes or likes on facebook. Michael will get drafted and hopefully he will be wearing a brown and orange jersey of my Browns.

He just wasn't cut out to be an NFL quarterback.

If you looked at this last season there were a lot of quarterbacks who were way worse than him however he does bring a circus with him so sometimes it's better to go with a terrible quarterback and throw the season away than to go with a slightly better quarterback but have every news report be about him and not the rest of the team.

He was third on their qb chart behind Dan Marino and his backup.

He stayed for several year by having a high motor and becoming a special teams maven and a third down back/receiver.

I could see that for Tebow.


IMHO, hating somebody for being a Fundamentalist, presuming he or she isn't judgmental, is as bad as hating somebody for being gay, Jewish, African American, liberal, et cetera.

I love good players who do positive things in their community and for others. One reason I like Tim Tebow and Richard Sherman, both are good players who do positive things for their community.

The Russell Wilson was God this, God that during his post game interview after the Super Bowl and Kaepernick is no less showy than Tebow what with his scripture tattoos/art on his arms.

I'll give Tebow points for self-deprecation as the commercials he was in during the Super Bowl were probably among the more entertaining ones during the entire game.

and perhaps do well.

After the laughingstock the Jets made of Tebow, he did gain back some measure of dignity after his time with NE, even though it didn't work out.

He's a good guy

They got rid of Hernandez right away.

AND they had a pretty good season despite a plethora of injuries.

I suppose they were supposed to KNOW he was going to be charged with murder 3 years later?

is incredible. Dude puts me in mind of Willie McGinest.
