There's been a lot of talk for the past month or so surrounding the New York Jets' quarterbacks in Tim Tebow and Mark Sanchez.

Both have been garnering much attention over who is going to start. It also helps when you have Tebow as the most popular athlete in the biggest city, and you also have Sanchez, who girls somehow always want to go for.

With all of this happening, no one has talked about Eli Manning, who is just coming off his second Super Bowl win with the Giants.

"New York Giants just won a championship yet I'm still the third most-talked-about quarterback in my own city," Manning jokingly said in a panel discussion with Fox Sports following his college Ole Miss honoring him. After he said the comment, the whole audience burst into laughter.

This definitely looks like a preview of what's to come for Eli, as he hosts Saturday Night Live on May 5, doing something a lot similar to what his brother Peyton did a few years ago.

"I am looking forward to it," he said last week. "'Saturday Night Live' will be fun and it will be a new experience for me.

"Right now, I am probably more anxious than anything just to kind of figure out what I might be doing. I might be doing something that is a little bit out of my character or uncomfortable. But I'm looking forward to just working hard that week and having a lot of laughs and being prepared."

A Sex Bounty on Tim Tebow?

Via Chicks in the Huddle  |  April 26, 2012
A skanky website is on a mission to “out” Jets backup quarterback Tim Tebow. They’re offering one million bucks to any woman who can prove she’s had sex with the self-professed virgin. (As if a woman who would publicly admit to sleeping with someone for money really needed the money to sleep with said dude to begin with.) The website, Ashley Madison, has a reputation...

Don't leave NFL Network out of the ridiculous TebowMania overhyping game

Via Awful Announcing  |  April 25, 2012
Traditionally, it has been ESPN at the front of the Tim Tebow bandwagon.  This week, NFL Network came along and kicked Skip Bayless from out of the driver's seat with as transparent and gross of a ploy for ratings and buzz as you'll see from a network.  I love NFL Films, I grew up with all the bloopers VHS tapes and even have all the music downloaded in iTunes.  However...

Tim Tebow Will Be Great For The Jets

Via Football Nation  |  April 24, 2012
I think the Jets made a good move bringing in Tim Tebow. We know he can start if he has to, making him a great back up QB. The Broncos drafted Tebow in the first round then the Jets gave up a fourth round pick to get him, now you have two first round picks at QB. The perception of everyone outside of New York is that the Jets; the players and coaches are an evil organization. Timmy...

Jets inform Tebow he’ll be playing on special teams

Via Pro Football Zone  |  April 24, 2012
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the New York Jets have told back up quarterback Tim Tebow that they will be using him on special teams as a punt protector.  Sounds like a joke to me, but it’s unfortunately true. I guess the Jets were once again starving for attention, so they decided to make it known that Tebow will be playing on special teams.  If this isn’t a sign that...

The NFL has released their 2012-2013 season schedule and it isn’t without the usual fanfare. It took me a couple of days to fully process what I was looking at and now I can say that there are some teams that will be thrown into it early (Cincinnati and Baltimore play week 1), some teams that may be looking at an early hole (Philadelphia Eagles) and some teams could benefit greatly...

The New York Jets Won’t Be Trading Up To Get Richardson

For the past week we have been hearing lots of talk about the Jets wanting to trade up to get into position to have a chance to draft Trent Richardson. Talk out of New York today confirms the fact it would have been far to costly to make the deal required to draft Richardson. The Jets will have to take their chances with the people they already have or get someone as a walk on. The...
