Following the Broncos/Bengals game Sunday, two media members (a Cincinnati reporter and a photographer) asked Tim Tebow for autographs in the post-game locker room. Graciously, Tebow obliged. Correctly, the Broncos media department booted both guys. I'm not trying to be judgmental, but WTF? You risk your reputation and your career on a Tebow signature? A man that hasn't played an NFL down? Really?
We recall Stefon Johnson, the USC running back who dropped a 275 lb barbell on his neck last fall and, thanks to his phenomenal neck musculature, survived. He defied expectation and imagination by rehabbing so intensely that he caught on as a free agent with the Titans. He made his preseason debut this past weekend by chewing up 23 yards in 3 carries. Remember him? He had his right leg trapped underneath him on a swing pass and had to be carted off the field in an inflatable cast. Seemingly, he has a high ankle sprain and will miss the entire season. When it rains...
In a story that I shan't belabor, Glen Cofee, former Alabama standout and 3rd round pick of the 49ers in the 2009 draft, has retired. Stating his true path was to follow christ, Coffee filed his retirement papers yesterday, citing that he "should never have entered the draft in the first place" and that he was "wasting the 49ers time."
