3/26/2012- Tim Tebow officially a member of NY Jets, Final Stop on the Road to WrestleMania, Bellator 62 results, MLB Spring Training

Hello everyone. I hope all of you had a great weekend. As may of you all heard last week, former Denver Broncos quarterback was traded to the New York Jets in exchange for 4th and 6th round draft picks. More details will be shared as you read along, so here we go!

NFL
A series of events have led to Tebow joining the Jets. It all started with Colts owner releasing Peyton Manning, which then led to him signing with the Broncos. After the signing, Tebow had to say adios to Mile High and pack his bags to the Meadowlands after a long day to complete the trade. NY Jets head coach Rex Ryan had said that Tim Tebow and Mark Sanchez will co-exist on their new offensive plan, but it comes with a big price. The price is that Tim Tebow is a very polarizing figure, and if Sanchez makes one minor mistake, "Tebow" chants could possibly be heard in the 2012 season. Earlier today, Jets held a press conference for Tebow. Here are the highlights from the press conference:

Reactions to this decision that the NY Jets made have ranged from mixed-to negative responses. The questions people want to know for this upcoming season are:

• Can Mark Sanchez and Tim Tebow co-exist?
• What is the future for Mark Sanchez with the New York Jets?

All I can say is, don't worry too much about this event. If you worry, things could go worse. I wouldn't worry about this since Yankees baseball season is around the corner and I'll be watching Yankees baseball during the summer and let all of the Jets stuff unfold come September.
