Tebow will make a fine addition to the receiving squad.

Stories. Hernandez, Gronk's surgeries, Tebow, Welker out, Amendola and his glass body in. Brady getting older. Good times.

I'm really tempted to troll Tebow fans on football forums by hinting darkly that Timmy is the real killer. Motive: More playing time at tight end.

I actually really want him to play; he's fun to watch. I was in Boulder during Tebowmania. I just wish it were with literally almost any other team. But hey, at least if he tanks the team, I'm still happy!

Ya, with wife sill in the hospital we will do it at a later time.

He's not a receiver. I could see him being used in short-yardage, not at QB (Brady will punch a coach before getting taken off the field at the goal line for Tebow) but alongside, giving Brady the option to throw, or fake it in some direction, hand it to Tebow, and then allow Tebow to do whatever in a sort of flea-flicker move. The problem is, that's an awfully convoluted plan, and not a common situation, and I don't think they'll line him up at TE or RB somehow. I'm really curious how they'll use him, I do have to say.

Oh, she's still there! I'm sorry. Yes, another time. And hang in there.

More time dirt jumping which is a good thing left hamstring is a bit tender from the other day.

We'll see.

He has enough drive in him that he will end up doing something. That said, there is no substitute for putting butts in seats, and the NFL wants him somewhere.

Yeah, but the downside is I spent last off-season waiting to finally have the question of what he could do answered and he was just suffocated into nothing. And now it's... more waiting.

I want football season already. But that would mean tri season is over.

LAJ 06-20-13 08:52 PM

I am a very passive football watcher. When Tebow was here, I watched more ball than the previous 5 seasons, plus the Peyton year. He was an exciting addition, that couldn't be explained. It will be interesting to see if that magic is even remotely rekindled.

Everything is good but they have to follow their protocols.

Still easier to be the one in there than the one waiting. At least for me.

Great to hear that things are roaring along with The Girl and your are feeling good about her, the relationship and yourself.

That thread is fine... I think it's finally starting to peter out. It's been great to boost the post count.

And best thoughts to the wives out there having medical issues. I hope everything works out well for them.

Might make it a half pint. I cheated because of the nasty weather. I drove the 25km to work. I'm going on the ride after work. I then have to bike back to the car after the pub and drive home. So I still need to be sober.

Heaven help you.

we're trying to morph into the pros and cons of Porsche engineering. I haven't posted about how you can't get a bike into a 911 variant, which makes them worthless in the context of the thread.

Provably false. My S1 got delivered after its rebuild in the backseat of a 997 Turbo Cabrio. Both wheels off, but still. It can be done.

Terribly sorry that facts got in the way of contributing to that thread.

I'm really surprised it isn't locked, honestly. It was never going to be anything but horrible.

Meanwhile, dude in "New bike design," is making Gerry Hull look completely rational. This is reminiscent of the time that I had to smack around a guy on an NYC-centic board - he claimed that an alignment of an arch in Brooklyn deliberately framed the Empire State Building... even though the arch predated the ESB by decades.

So, they deliberately aligned the Empire State Building to be framed by an arch in Brooklyn?
