Why Are the New York Jets Trying to Hurt Tim Tebow?

What did Tim Tebow do to earn the scorn of a no-class outfit like the New York Jets? Yahoo's Les Carpenter asks a good question in a story on the 'net Monday.

The Jets dumped Tebow all right. But they did it on the first Monday after the NFL draft, knowing that other teams' rosters would be filled -- and that lessens significantly his chances of catching on with another NFL team this season.

Why do they hate this University of Florida icon? Was he late to practice? Lazy? In bad shape? Bad attitude? Did he fall out with his teammates? None of the above. Coach Rex Ryan put him in games for a total of 77 snaps. That's it.

Why did the New York Jets want Tebow in the first place? Read Carpenter's story. You might see, as he does, it's easier to like an inspirational quarterback than it is to like the people Carpenter calls "the perpetually dysfunctional half of East Rutherford's two football franchises."
