The Orlando Magic put trade talks for center Dwight Howard on pause Wednesday because the team has not received a compelling enough offer, two people familiar with negotiations told USA TODAY Sports.

Tim Tebow, New York Jets backup quarterback who has received as much media attention as the team's starter, is responding to critics who say he needs to be more tight-lipped around the press.

Zeke’s middle name is “LORD”.

For some reason that is funny to me. Anyway, Zeke could have dropped some ETHER, but decided to take the high road. Sometimes I think his failures as GM overshadows what a great player he was.

He should have been on that team, but Michael Jordan was the KING, so it was the KING RULES, so no Isiah, but I think he will be ok.

I am sure those two rings mean more than being in a documentary.
