Teabow will play quarterback not receiver.

bostonglobe from somebody's conversation with Tom Brady and Josh McDaniels.


90% of Tebow's activity during his time with the Patriots has been spent learning to play quarterback with the teams's system. He wears a red non-contact jersey on the field and he runs the third-team offense during team drills. <-- I do not know what that means.

McDaniels doesn't show much concern about replacing Aaron Hernandez. Refers to him as "Swiss Army Knife" explosive, versatile player.

Quarterback cameras suck. They bounce around too much and do not add anything to the quarterback's experience that doesn't contribute to him overanalyzing things. Good for coaching but they give you a headache.

* MLB may suspend Alex Rodriguez under labor deal, its collective bargaining agreement, instead of suspending him under its drug rules. 

* Indians beat White Sox on Jason Giambi's home run

* Michael Phelps hasn't absolutely positively conclusively decided not to swim in Rio Olympics.

* Red Sox take back first in AL East with a 5-0 win over Orioles, with the Ray's loss to the Yankees, the Red Sox are in control of the division.

* David Ortiz gets a pass but was ugly and nobody wants to see it again. 

Oh! That the Papi thing innit. Who says we don't want to see that again? 

* Kamar Aiken hopes to be a regular with Patriots

(1) I used to hate it, but I'm slowly starting to get used to the weird procession they do before soccer matches where the players hold the hand of some little kid they've never met before.

I tell myself it's a treat for the little kids and I should be ashamed of myself for having it ever occur to me that some of those soccer players might be perverts.

(2) I still think it's totally gay when the baseball game is over and the winning team marches around in a tight, little oval giving each other high-fives in front of the TV camera. That opinion of mine will never change and that's a promise.

(3) When one of the baseball players is getting interviewed on TV after the game, and someone hits him in the face with a shaving cream pie, . . ., well, . . ., that's not gay, . . ., that's just totally fucking stupid.

Well, Tebow won't play quarterback either, unless disaster strikes.

I would be surprised if Tebow was brought on merely to be Tom Brady's back up. I am not a big fan of the Pats, but I definitely worry about their coach and what he is up to.

Teabow?

ATT has appealed the no suspension on Papi. He demolished one of their last land lines.

He's not even the first string back-up, and is unlikely to become such unless something happens.

He may get playing time in short yardage situations. I still think he's best suited to being a full back, except that FBs just don't get much action in the modern NFL.

The Raiders tried that decades ago. The sumo guys were great: for one play. Sumo matches are short and explosive and rarely last a full minute. You've got to be able to play at least 30 plays on defense to be worth paying, and more than that on the offensive line.

But the main thing is: Raiders already did it.
