Alabama will begin this season the way it ended the last two -- No. 1.
Nick Saban's two-time defending national champions are top-ranked in The Associated Press preseason college football poll, with the Crimson Tide trying to become the first team to win three straight national titles.
Much like the BCS championship game against Notre Dame, the vote was an Alabama landslide. The Tide received 58 of 60 first-place votes from the media panel Saturday to easily outdistance No. 2 Ohio State. Alab

It's crazy how far an athlete can fall after notching seven fourth-quarter comeback victories in one season. After multiple NFL suitors publicly declined interest in free-agent quarterback Tim Tebow, he's starting to rake in offers from Arena Football League teams.

The Philadelphia Soul, part-owned by NFL great and ESPN guru Ron Jaworski, have offered Tebow a job to play in the AFL, according to the Los Angeles TimesJaworski, who isn't shy to criticize Tebow in his day job, had some things to

So what do you think? Are the Baltimore Ravens in position to repeat as champions after winning a Super Bowl during Ray Lewis' final season in the NFL?  Well the retired linebacker does't think so. 
"It's going to be very hard, after you lose that much chemistry," Lewis told USA TODAY Sports. "But who knows? It's unpredictable, as always. Hopefully, they try to pull enough together, use their youth and try to make a run. But it's hard to try that formula. That formula usually doesn't work."

Despite his disappointment with Rex Ryan's passing him over at quarterback late last season and his uncertain future, Tim Tebow intends to be at the New York Jets' facility next week.
Tebow will participate in the team's offseason workouts that start on Monday, according to a person informed of Tebow's plans. The person spoke to USA TODAY Sports on condition of anonymity because neither Tebow nor the Jets have commented publicly on the matter.

Technically, Tim Tebow still has a job with the New York Jets, but we all know what's going to happen at some point this offseason. He's going to be released.
And the only reason he's going to be released is because the Jets can't find a trade partner to take him off their hands.
And the only reason the Jets can't find a trade partner to take Tebow off their hands is because he is not a very good quarterback (and that's being nice).
So, is it time for Tebow to give up on the NFL since not one

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.
Tebow, 24, should speak less in front of media personnel according to ESPN analyst Tedy Brushchi, who said the popular backup QB should "disappear."
"Stop talking to the media so much. You need to disappear, okay, Tim Tebow," Brushchi said on the network recently. "You're not the starting quarterbac

Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow's very public Christian faith has been praised - and parodied. In spite of all the jokes, a new survey shows a lot of people think the Broncos quarterback "is" getting help from above.

 
 
The Poll Position website conducted a telephone survey of 756 people and found 43 percent think divine intervention is playing a role in Tebow's success.
The percentage is higher among young people age 18-29 (52 percent), Republicans (54 percent), African-Americans (60 pe

Tim Tebow had plenty more gaffes -- and one last laugh.
 
Despite a second straight dismal performance and two more turnovers by Tebow, the Broncos were celebrating a trip to the playoffs Sunday after losing 7-3 to Kyle Orton and the Kansas City Chiefs.
Their six-year playoff drought is history.
Even though Tebow completed just 6 of 22 passes for 60 yards, killed a promising drive with a red zone fumble and capped an awful afternoon with an interception in the waning seconds, he's the one prep

Tim Tebow is a godly man and a good football player. There is no question about his character, the importance of his faith, and his development as a player in the NFL. 

 

But the young Denver Broncos quarterback has become a controversial figure because of the very public displays of his faith. For example, he has been recently mocked for his bended-knee prayers during games, which is now officially known as "Tebowing." But has he inadvertently brought this criticism on himself? Is praying p
