New England Patriots Sign Tim Tebow in Massive Troll Attempt

We all know that there has never been any love lost between the New England Patriots and New York Jets - these organizations like each other about as much as Jonathan Vilma likes Roger Goodell.

The never-ending feud took a new twist this week, when the Patriots announced one of the strangest and most obviously belligerent offseason moves in recent memory - the signing of New York Jets castoff Tim Tebow.

Could Bill Belichick be trolling the Jets any harder? Signing Jake Ballard off waivers after the Giants beat him in the Super Bowl was one thing - but this is a whole new level of "go screw yourself". What purpose could Belichick have for Tebow, other than to aggravate the Jets by having him on the sidelines and maybe playing a snap or two at fullback in their two games this season? This stinks of Belichick and Robert Kraft wanting nothing more than to stick it to Gang Green just for shits and giggles.

Granted, if anyone can take the hilariously untalented Tebow and make him useful, it would be the Hoodie. At least he's got a better shot at it than the 600-pound duo of Rex Ryan and Tony Sparano. Maybe Tebow will actually develop into a decent position player under the Patriot system. However, if anyone is delusional enough to think he'll get a better shot at QB reps in New England than he did in New York is sorely mistaken.

Maybe the Patriots will use him as a receiver.....



Ok, then maybe a coin toss captain...




Hey, at least he's a good sport!



End of story....this is pretty laughable. Good luck to all parties.

Rob Gronkowski's Epic Fail

Rob Gronkowski is a tight end known for punishing hits and bruising runs. Built more like a small bear than a man, we have come to expect superhuman feats from the guy known colloquially as "Gronk".

During the New England Patriots' Week 1 blowout of the Tennessee Titans on Sunday however, Gronk's usually sure hands deserted him for a major fail on national television. Maybe he was just overly excited to be playing football again?

Nice one Robbie.

Go Big Blue!

On the eve of the epic rematch of Super Bowl 46, we at JZSports want to show some support to our hometown New York Giants. Even if we didn't love the Giants here at JZSports (and we definitely do), we sure hate the Patriots enough either way.

They started this roller coaster season with an inglorious loss to the lowly Washington Redskins, and a rash of season ending injuries to a throng of their best players.

Instead of throwing in the towel on his coaching career, Tom Coughlin rode Eli Manning's arm and Victor Cruz's salsa to Giants immortality and his second SB appearance in 4 years.

The stage is set for an unforgettable Super Bowl. The G-Men are all-in.

It's your time New York Fans. Let's get it.

Cam Newton Does it Again

One week after rookie Cam Newton produced a historical NFL debut, racking up 422 passing yards against the terrible Arizona Cardinals' secondary, fans and pundits everywhere were certain he was due for a reality check against the vicious Green Bay Packers' defense.

In part, they were right, as Newton threw three interceptions with only one touchdown in the Panthers' 30-23 loss to the defending Super Bowl champions.

Still, against a defense featuring a hall-of-fame corner, a premiere pass rush and good run-stopping, Newton actually managed to top his record-setting Week 1 passing yardage total with 432. The rookie also added 53 rushing yards and 1 touchdown.

He now joins a group of just six quarterbacks to ever throw for 400+ yards in consecutive games, including Tom Brady, who joined the list today as well. The other quarterbacks on the list include Dan Marino, Phil Simms, Dan Fouts, Billy Volek and Matt Cassel. Young Newton has some pretty good company.

There are still plenty of trials awaiting Cam Newton before he fully proves himself, such as actually winning a game. However, it is safe to say that the Auburn Heisman Trophy Winner's NFL career is off to a rip-roaring start.

Fat Albert Checking Out

The big sweaty hold out from the summer finally got what was coming to him. Perennial whiner Albert Haynesworth has been suspended without pay for the remainder of the season by head coach Mike Shanahan. Shanahan has suspended him citing "Conduct detrimental to the club, refusal to listen to the coaching staff, and not abiding by the terms of his contract"

This is undoubtedly the final straw that will destroy his chances of remaining on the team, and that was already unlikely. The Redskins basically threw $41 million in guaranteed money into the toilet when he signed his contract, this suspension is basically just hitting 'Flush'.

The ballyhooed signing back in the spring of 2009 was met with controversy, as Redskins owner Dan Snyder was taking a well documented complainer, locker room problem, and me-first player and turning him into the highest paid defensive player in the league. Said contract guaranteed the tackle $41 million and was potentially worth $100 million. What Snyder failed to realize was that Haynesworth is not a Tom Brady, Ray Lewis, or Larry Fitzgerald. Guys like those will take their huge contract extensions and still play like it is their rookie season. Sweaty Haynesworth on the other hand, was happy to take his money, grab a double bacon cheeseburger, and stop playing period. For a player to be worth that kind of money, they can't just be physically good, they have to be leaders and improve the team overall.

After his signing in '09, Haynesworth was basically a non-factor last season, plagued by both injuries and his own unwillingness to put his heart in the game. His brash and outspoken manner was certainly one of the factors that led to the ousting of former coach Jim Zorn. Two-time Super Bowl winner Mike Shanahan on the other hand, has a reputation for not allowing his players to oppose him. Just ask Jake Plummer. When Shanahan came to Washington, he brought with him a vision of changing the Redskins to a 3-4 defense, a move which Haynesworth immediately opposed, citing that the new scheme would hurt his stats. Not that he couldn't play a 3-4, but that he wouldn't get enough stats playing nose with only 2 other D-linemen. In protest, Haynesworth sat out the first few minicamps and OTA's.

Shanahan of course, was having none of Haynesworth's childlike antics, and immediately set forth a public conditioning test which he probably knew the lazy Haynesworth would fail, and he promptly did. This public humiliation created an irreconcilable rift between player and coach, and the season thus far has just been plagued with more bad blood between the two of them. It has all led up to this week after the Giants game when Haynesworth told Redskins GM Bruce Allen that he will not speak to Shanahan anymore. Now Haynesworth's time with the Redskins is all but over.

For some players, one might hope they land on their feet, but Fat Albert deserves no more respect than Mr. Purple Drank himself, Jamarcus Russell, and maybe even less respect at that.
