| You can say what you want about Tim Tebow, and everyone sure does. But he deserves better than this, deserves better than having to endure cowardly lions, the kings of least, inside the Rex Ryan Zoo, growling and clawing at him. He deserves better than to have anonymous potshots taken at him by characters who have no character, deserves better than to have his pristine chapel overrun by a team that leads the league only in finger-pointing and dysfunction. He should get the hell out, ask for a trade at the end of the Jets season,

Why should he ask to be traded? He is making a lot of money and has no blame for their poor play. The Jets are a bunch of misfits, that is for sure. Those who are too cowardly to speak with their own names are the losers.

He´s a football version of George Bush, a terrible quarterback, no doubt, but not to blame for the current mess.

Tebow will be cut after the season. Ryan will be fired and half the roster will turnover.

He doesn´t deserved to be praised for bad quarterbacking. It is unfair to all involved. Too many people think the guy being a class act=him being on par with Tom Brady or Peyton Manning. He is a big, strong guy who has been able to take the abuse, but is not a pro style qb.

I smell Cromartie. On a Cromartie-related note, I heard a rumor that he may have made a tackle a few weeks ago. Any truth to that?

The Jets can´t run, can´t pass, can´t cover, can´t tackle, can´t pressure the QB, their locker room is a mess and their playcalling is atrocious.
Other than that they are a solid club.

Tebow has never had a chance to mature as a pro quarterback. How much playing time has he had?

Tebow was treated badly by Elway and now the Jets. Tim Tebow won the Heisman twice and went 7-1 with Broncos. He deserves better.

Tim Tebow is earning millions of dollars a year to take 3 snaps a game and run into the line of scrimmage.
If Tebow doesn´t deserve to be treated this way, I certainly do. Please pick on me.

I wish he would have came to the Browns, we´re used to quarterbacks who can´t throw well but at least he would have been a heck of a lot of fun to watch! Plus he seems like the nicest guy in the universe.

Tebow was not treated badly by Elway. He was traded. Thathappens in pro sports. It is not every day that you get a chance to sign one of the best QB´s ever, in Peyton Manning.
As for maturing as a pro qb, he is way too unconventional. Bad throwing mechanics, poor accuracy. They pay too much money for QB´s to run the ball and take the hits that he has.

Tebow is WAY too good for the Jets. They´re a bunch of Low Lifes. Why in the world they wanted him, only to let him sit on the Bench os beyond me. He needs to be playing. He did an outstanding job in Florida and won 2 Heisman trophys. That didn´t happen because he was a BAD Quarterback. Not only that, he is a great Role Model for young men. There are very FEW Football players that qualify for that Role. Also, I thought it STUNK that Elway dumped him the way he did and then bad mouthed him on top of it. He just might get payback for that if Manning is injured again. Tebow did a great job for Denver. He´s a good and decent man and any team would be lucky to have him. I HOPE he asks to be traded from NY. He deserves better.

The problem isn´t Tebow...it´s the Jets. They´re the NFL equivalent of your standard loudmouth gangsta thug NBA team. No class whatsoever...especially the coach. At least when the Giants screw up, they accept the blame and move on. BTW, I´m with #10...go PATS. The Jets SUK!

#5, just what is a pro style qb and how long will that be the norm? You going to bring back Namath? How did Fran Tarkenton survive?
Face it, the real problem with Tebow is that he is a born-again Christian that shares his faith when he has the opportunity, and lives a life that is consistent with what he says.
Most fans want a bad guy who will hurt another player either for fun or for a bounty. If they have been to prison that is better.

Correct #20. Timmy´s got 1 Heisman and 2 national titles. I´m guessing people are confusing the 2.
doesn´t matter to me how good a qb he is, he´s still a quality person who should be a role model, not a punching bag.

Tebow took his team to the second round of the playoffs last year and is being treated like the scum of the earth. I´ll bet most of the people mouthing off on his current team were around last year to be beaten by Tebow and the Broncos.
Elway was a jerk the whole time Tebow was winning games. He knows he is the guy people will equate with the Denver Broncos, and he was afraid Tebow might take his place. Kind of like the stepmother in Snow White asking "mirror, mirror on the wall" and expecting to be told he´s the greatest Broncos QB of them all. He likes to forget that he was on his way to being the next Jim Kelly and a laughing stock before he finally won a Super Bowl. Elway is a small man in many ways.

The Broncos went to the playoffs with Tebow at quarterback. The Jets are going anywhere. And the Jets hired Tebow, have not played him, now talk disrespectfully, when Tebow has nothing to do with the Jet´s failures.

Sanchez is an AA hire and he routinely plays like one. Why that corrupt fat mouth coach continues to play his main squeeze while letting Tebow rot is beside me. Sanchez is neck and neck with Castle for worst QB. Tebow ain´t pretty but he moves the football down the field and he wins ball games. That not good enough for you, Fats? BTW, I don´t blame Elway for going after Manning. They are headed to a Super Bowl.

How can he be called a bad quarterback when he never gets to play? And if he ever does get to play, how will he be able to stand up to all of the negativity that will be directed to him. It´s actually Alinsky-like: pick a target, freeze it, destroy it. That said, I hope Tim gets his chance and proves everyone wrong.

DAMASCUS, Va - At least 50 people were injured Saturday after a car struck a crowd of hikers in the Appalachian Trail Days parade in Damascus. A Virginia State Police reconstruction team has closed off the bridge where the incident happened and is investigating it as a crime scene. According to authorities, a green Cadillac was traveling on Route 91 in Damascus around 2:15 p.m. when his vehicle cut through a nearby car wash located off Third Street, where the parade was taking place.

A man named Marcus Dixon had just told him about the center´s key role in helping him learn to provide for his family after being released from jail.

WASHINGTON There´s an irony in the Internal Revenue Service´s crackdown on conservative groups. The nation´s tax agency has admitted to inappropriately scrutinizing smaller tea party organizations that applied for tax-exempt status. But the IRS largely maintained a hands-off policy with the much larger, big-budget organizations on the left and right that were most influential in the 2012 elections and are organized under a section of the tax code that allows them to hide their donors. "The IRS goes AWOL when wealthy and powerful forces want to break the law in order to hide their

Two Congressmen are asking the Treasury Department if it inappropriately scrutinized conservative-owned businesses the same way it targeted Tea Party groups filing for tax-exempt status. Republicans Mike Kelly (PA-03) and Jim Renacci (OH-16) circulated a letter Thursday requesting Treasury Secretary Jack Lew to release documents detailing the process and methodology the Automotive Task Force used to shut down General Motors dealerships in 2009 during the automotive industry crisis. Renacci´s Northeast Ohio Chevrolet dealership was closed in 2010 after losing a battle with General Motors. Congress loaned General Motors $50 billion in 2009 after GM declared bankruptcy, which resulted

SAN JOSE— For most Americans in the United States, Armed Forces Day is not on the lists of likely holidays to honor the country’s military in celebrations of Memorial Day or Veteran’s Day. Sadly, most Americans may not even realize that Armed Forces Day is even a legitimate holiday. Armed Forces Day was established to be celebrated on the third Saturday in May. It started during Harry Truman’s administration when he led an effort to consolidate the various holidays supporting each separate branch of the military into a simple unified holiday to honor the four branches together.

Dorothy, the 14-year-old peregrine falcon that since 2002 has nested on a 40th-floor ledge of the Cathedral of Learning in Oakland, was perched on the limestone railing next to that nest and her lone chick shortly before 9 a.m. Friday. She´d just fed the 22-day-old chick a small bird for breakfast. "Baltimore oriole ... again," said Kate St. John, who blogs about the city´s peregrines. Someone else watching from the office inside the window next to the nest said it looked like Dorothy was calmly "chilling." Ms. St. John´s response was that nothing could be further from the truth.

WASHINGTON — An Internal Revenue Service watchdog testified Friday that he told Obama administration officials in June that he was looking into allegations the IRS targeted conservative groups for extra scrutiny when they applied for tax-exempt status. The revelation by Inspector General Russell George came at the first congressional hearing on the IRS misconduct, which has generated a political firestorm since it was disclosed a week ago. George’s testimony represented the first evidence that officials in the Obama administration knew of the allegations as long as a year ago, during the presidential campaign.

Obama administration officials who were in key positions on Sept. 11, 2012, acknowledge that a range of mistakes were made the night of the attacks on the U.S. missions in Benghazi, and in messaging to Congress and the public in the aftermath. The officials spoke to CBS News in a series of interviews and communications under the condition of anonymity so that they could be more frank in their assessments. They do not all agree on the list of mistakes and it's important to note that they universally claim that any errors or missteps did not cost lives and reflect "incompetence rather than malice or cover up.

In the wake of one of the worst abuses of government power in recent history, many are rushing to frame the Internal Revenue Service scandal as simply an attack on conservative activists. That view risks creating a partisan political football and misses a fundamentally scarier abuse that exceeds the scandals of Watergate or any other prior government abuse. The IRS has admitted that since May 2010 it targeted grassroots-conservative organizations that had applied for tax-exempt status, unfairly subjecting them to rigorous scrutiny due to their political leanings. Such groups were told they were required to comply with IRS requests,

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew on Friday urged congressional leaders to raise the debt limit and insisted that the White House is not going to negotiate over the increase because lawmakers have "no choice." "We will not negotiate over the debt limit," Lew wrote. "The creditworthiness of the United States is non-negotiable. The question of whether the country must pay obligations it has already incurred is not open to debate." Lew said that while President Obama is willing to discuss plans to reduce the nation´s deficit with Congress, those talks must be kept separate from any effort to raise the nation´s debt cap.

The lawmaker leading the charge to investigate the Benghazi terror attack on Friday subpoenaed the co-author of a report that slammed the State Department but didn´t interview Hillary Clinton. House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) formally demanded that retired ambassador Thomas Pickering submit to being deposed by the committee next Thursday. The subpoena comes in the wake of a series of acrimonious public exchanges this week between the two men. Issa didn´t issue a subpoena to former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Michael Mullen, who co-authored the Benghazi report with Pickering.

A healthcare provider has sued the Internal Revenue Service and 15 of its agents, charging they wrongfully seized 60 million medical records from 10 million Americans. The name of the provider is not yet known, United Press International said. But Courthouse News Service said the suit claims the agency violated the Fourth Amendment in 2011, when agents executed a search warrant for financial data on one employee – and that led to the seizure of information on 10 million, including state judges. The search warrant did not specify that the IRS could take medical information, UPI said.
