Will Tebow Be A Big Leaguer By Year's End?


By Tommy Gahan
@tgahan9

You might have heard of a man named Tim Tebow, Heisman winner, National Champion, First Round Pick in the NFL draft but now, somehow, a minor league baseball player. Yes, the 30 year old's transition back to the National Pastime was mocked by many (he had last played the sport in High School before this). Most viewed the New York Mets' acquisition of Tebow as a prospect was an easy cash grab publicity stunt, and perhaps it was. However, Tim packs the fans into small Bush League ballparks readily and his baseball abilities have improved enough for him to have an all star season in Double A Birmingham. So, with the Major League Mets having a sour season in Queens, will Tim get his shot by the end of 2018? No, he probably is not big league material, but the money generated by a bonafide superstar celebrity like Tebow would probably be worth it in the context of a lost season for New York's National League beacon. It is yet to be seen if the Christian QB will get his chance to shine in The Show, but Mets GM Sandy Alderson has publicly stated his belief in Tebow, so who's to believe that he will not find his way from the bright lights of the gridiron to the World's biggest ballparks?

A push for Bobby Lashley is needed now more than ever

By: Fabrizio Salerno Twitter @fabriziosa1erno  When Bobby Lashley returned to the WWE, it was a monumental moment for the whole WWE Universe.  Another Power house star has arrived and can potentially take our eyes away from Roman Reigns.  Though Roman is a great performer and superstar, the WWE creative is always forcing him to be in the biggest matches and that doesn't go well with the WWE Universe. Now that Bobby came back to dominate and set his eyes on the ultimate prize of becoming a Universal Champion, it wasn't going to be an easy climb up the mountain.  You have experienced superstars that are also worthy for a match like Seth Rollins, Elias, Finn Balor and you guessed it Roman Reigns.  All these superstars have the track record and the faith of the WWE Universe to become a worthy champion and dethrone the current champion Brock Lesnar. Now it has been a couple of months since Lashley made his return and though his matches were pretty much all...

Top 10 Best Overall Sport Cities

(10) Miami The Dolphins surprisingly have a winning record, but you would’ve never guessed that after watching they were blown out by the Ravens. And to make matters worse, Jay Ajayi is out and on his way to Philadelphia. The Heat are still trying to regain their success of the Lebron-era by building around star center Hassan Whiteside but the Heat seem set for mediocrity yet again this season. Giancarlo Stanton is another promising player for the Marlins. (9) Denver The Broncos are riding a three-game losing streak and are playing the best team in football this upcoming week. The Nuggets are looking mediocre at the moment but it is too early to tell how they will turn out come February. (8) Chicago Mitch Trubisky has entered the building! The young quarterback has a way to go before teams will start to fear him, but his first few games have not been as bad as some expected. The Bears continue to rely on their underrated defense and strong run game. The Bulls ha...

Cubs' Darvish continues to be bad news

Despite the best of intentions, the Chicago Cubs have gotten more than they bargained for with signing right handed pitcher Yu Darvish over the offseason. After coughing up $126 million over 6 years, Darvish has been on the disabled list twice this year, has only had 4 starts, and hasn’t pitched since late May after experiencing significant inflammation in his triceps. The expectation was that Yu, after pitching 5 innings in Single A on Monday, would finally return to the Cubs this weekend, right? Wrong. While throwing a bullpen session this Thursday at Dodger Stadium, the 31 year old hurler experienced pain in his triceps. The Cubs are sending him back to team doctors to see if their pain could be more significant than inflammation. This setback, combined with star third baseman Kris Bryant landing on the 10 day DL with shoulder inflammation, continues a streak of bad luck to befall the reigning NL Central Champs. Ironically, this occurs while the Cubs are in LA facing Darvish...
