Tim Tebow, the Options Quarterback No one seems to be quite done with Tim Tebow. The Omaha Beef, the indoor football team, for example, has expressed an interest in signing the Jets castoff. The Associated Press reports that the team's quarterback, James McNear, "is anything but insulted by the Beef's wooing of Tebow. McNear said, "I think Tim can learn a lot from me.' " Tommy Tomlinson at Sports on Earth thinks Tebow can do better (relatively speaking) by joining "a terrible team (Cleveland? Arizona?) that could use him right away as a change-of-pace guy. He is not convinced that Jacksonville will happen, though: "because they refuse to try something different, with the one player they know will draw fans in Jacksonville? That's bad football and bad marketing. (Coincidentally, "Bad Football and Bad Marketing" is the Jags" team slogan.)." But marketing Tebow is not what it once was, Wayne Coffey reports at The Daily News, as "sports-business experts wonder if one of the singular sociocultural forces in recent memory will recover." If football does not work out, Chris Chase at USA Today has an amusing list of other professions Tebow can consider, including substitute teacher: "Tebow is well versed in being a backup, but how will the students react when Mr. Tebow is unceremoniously replaced by Mr. McElroy?" The Knicks and the Yankees are happier news, with the former poised to eliminate the Celtics on Wednesday night and move on to the second round of the N.B.A. playoffs. Mike Vaccaro at The New York Post says that Wednesday's game at Madison Square Garden is "about assertion and will and sending a message to themselves they can handle prosperity. That means acting like they've been there before, even those who haven't been there before. It is essential, he says, that the Knicks walk away "from frustrated Celtics with nothing to lose" and not allow a repeat of Jason Terry's provocation of J. R. Smith. And the Yankees? They're pretty good! 16-10 good. As David Waldstein observes in The New York Times, "In the absence of Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, Curtis Granderson and Mark Teixeira, the Yankees have held firm." Not so good, according to Tim Brown at Yahoo Sports, are four teams that had excellent press going into the season: "You'd have gotten reasonable odds that by now the Los Angeles Angels, Toronto Blue Jays, Los Angeles Dodgers and Washington Nationals would have established themselves as possibly dominant teams. Or would at least be at or near the top of their divisions. Yet, none has so much as a winning record. In baseball it's early yet. Which is not the case in the Clippers-Grizzlies series in the N.B.A., which Memphis now leads, three games to two. Blake Griffin of Los Angeles left Tuesday night's game with a high ankle sprain, and it is uncertain whether he will play Friday. As Marc J. Spears writes at Yahoo, "With or without Griffin, Chris Paul and the Clippers are now a loss away from ending the franchise's so-called greatest season in the first round of the playoffs." But it is always good to end on a high note (or at least a different one). Mike Axisa at CBS Sports says he is happy that Prince Fielder is now using Mozart's Requiem (really really old schule: 1791) as his walk-up music. "I dig the originality," he writes. Solid.
