The Jets acquired Tebow last year in a trade, but he threw only eight passes this past season. The move cost the Jets over $4 million.

She had a good long life...
"Dear Abby" columnist Pauline Phillips, who starting in 1956 under the
pen name Abigail van Buren began giving some 90 million newspaper
readers advice on everything from Civil Rights to dating, died Wednesday
in Minneapolis, said a family spokesperson. She was 94.
"My mother leaves very big high heels to fill with a legacy of
compassion, commitment and positive social change," said daughter Jeanne
Phillips. "I will honor her memory every day by continuing this
legacy."
For years Phillips had suffered with Alzheimer's disease, the first
signs of which began showing in the mid-1990s. By then, she and Jeanne
were writing the column together, until such time in 2002 that Pauline
could no longer handle the task and Jeanne took over the family's advice
business completely.
Among the many remarkable facts about Phillips (who took the
name Abigail from the Bible and the surname from President Martin Van
Buren) is that her identical twin sister, Esther "Eppie" Lederer, was in
the same line of work – as columnist Ann Landers.

Ester where were you last night?
Just kidding..Ester would never harm a pig.. even a republican one ...
Given Barack Obama's landslide re-election win, you might think that victorious Democrats would be feeling upbeat and positive rather than vindictive.
But one Obama fan apparently proved a sore winner - leaving a disgusting message of hate outside a Republican field office.
A dead pig wearing a Mitt Romney T-shirt was yesterday found on the sidewalk outside the GOP headquarters in Manhattan Beach, a suburb of Los Angeles.
While police are still investigating the circumstances of the crime, the clothing on the carcass suggests it was politically motivated.
The pig was discovered by passers-by early on Thursday morning and removed by authorities later in the day, according to KABC.
Police had to cut up the mangled body in order to fit it in to trash cans, where it could still be seen for several hours.

A spokesman for McGovern's family, Steve Hildebrand, told The Associated Press by telephone that McGovern died at 5:15 a.m. Sunday at a hospice in Sioux Falls, surrounded by family and lifelong friends.
