Denver Broncos Trade Tim Tebow to New York Jets UPDATE: ESPN’s Adam Schefter is reporting that the Broncos and Jets have encountered a hangup in the language of Tim Tebow’s contract, which could ultimately nix the deal.  Per Schefter, Tebow has $5 million worth of recapture language, meaning ultimately the Jets would have to pay back that money to Denver. According to Schefter, if the Jets are unwillingly to pay that money, the deal could fall through, at which time the St. Louis Rams could jump back into the conversation.   In a surprise move, the Denver Broncos have traded quarterback Tim Tebow to the New York Jets for two draft picks. The move is somewhat surprising, given the fact that the Jets handed starting quarterback Mark Sanchez a $40.5 million contract extension earlier this month, with $20.5 million guaranteed.  Tebow is expected to complement Sanchez, although it’s unclear at this time to what extent.

Super Bowl Smackdown: Which City Reigns Supreme?

Why New York is the Best

You see, when the actual Super Bowl is played on Sunday, the winner will be the team that scores the most points. Pretty simple. When it comes to which city is the champ economically, it also comes down to simple numbers.

And New York wins by two touchdowns.

Boston is no New York, and those of us who cherish the city’s impossible to imitate accents, and impossible to replace treasures like Fenway Park and the Esplanade are glad for that.
