Top 10 takeaways from the Tim Tebow release from the Jets

Cue the Sad Hulk Piano Music10) It was entirely unfair that one of the least accurate QBs in NFL history never got a real chance to be inaccurate in New York9) There's no telling how the Jets' punt team is going to be able to overcome this loss8) The release was inevitable, given Tebow's apparent failure to sell tickets7) This entire saga is going to be all of the proof that future generations need to point out that people in this age were complete idiots6) There is no truth to the rumor that after the announcement came out, ESPN put Skip Bayless in mittens and hid his razors, scissors and sleeping pills5) Redneck America is sure to follow Tebow to whatever second-tier CFL team signs him next4) If you honestly think this is the end of the media over-coverage of this circus, I truly want you at my next poker game3) New York's tabloid newspapers, in outrage over the move, will only give the Jets' half of the back covers now2) If he doesn't show up in a pro wrestling storyline in the next five years, a great opportunity will have been lost1) Regardless of your feelings about gay people, I think we can all be thankful that Jason Collins took ESPN off 24-hour coverage of thishttp://fivetooltool.blogspot.com - The Sports Blog That Loves You Back!

Yankees Complete Four Game Sweep of Blue Jays

espn.comBy Nick Ziegler (@Ziggy26x)April 28th, 2013Toronto Blue Jays vs. New York Yankees Post Game RecapFinal Score: Blue Jays 2 Yankees 3The New York Yankees were able to complete the four game sweep on the Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday afternoon, and with the win the Yankees are now (15-9) on the season, as their surprisingly good start to the year continues.Yankees Starter Phil Hughes had his third consecutive strong start for the Yankees, but didn’t factor in the decision. Hughes went six innings allowing two runs on seven hits, and one walk. Hughes had the strikeout pitches working, as he fanned nine batters on Sunday. This was Hughes third start in a row that he allowed two runs, as his early season woes seem far behind him now.The Yankees bullpen was great in this one, as Boone Logan, David Robertson, and Mariano Rivera finished off the final three innings. Logan earned his first win of the season, by pitching a scoreless seventh inning. Robertson was solid in the eighth inning leading to Rivera earning his eighth save of the season, which is the most saves he’s ever had in April.The Yankees got on the board first in this one in the second inning, as Brennan Boesch hit a solo-homerun off R.A Dickey. For Boesch it was his second homerun of the season, and finished the day going one for three.Lyle Overbay had the big hit for the Yankees in the seventh inning, as Overbay hit a two-run homerun, which gave the Yankees a one run lead. The homerun was Overbay’s third of the season, and now has 11 RBIs on the season.After returning to the lineup on Saturday Kevin Youkilis didn’t play on Sunday due to a stiff lower back, and will be scheduled for a MRI on Monday. “He is an important guy to our lineup because he kind of surrounds some of the left-handed hitters and he is a production guy and he is a home run guy," Girardi said. "He is important, so we have to get this right. We can't push it too fast. If there are days that he is a little stiff, we may have to back off a little bit and try again the next day.”The Yankees will be home still on Monday, as the Houston Astros come to town, and Andy Pettitte (3-1, 2.22) will be facing Lucas Harrell (2-2, 4.08).

BNC Bancorp swapping preferred stock for debt

The parent company of Bank of North Carolina said Friday that it'll swap out the preferred stock left over from the auction of its federal bailout investment for debt.In August, the U.S. Treasury sold off the preferred stock it held in BNC Bancorp at a public auction, moving the $31.3 million investment for $28.4 million. The government reported making a profit on the bank overall when dividend payments were included.BNC said Friday it will redeem the preferred stock from its new owner at its full price, using cash on hand and a $30 million loan from Georgia-based Synovus Bank.BNC's Chief Operating Officer Richard D. Callicutt said in a statement that regulators' approval of this transaction is a testament to the bank's financial strength.

Soccer Mass Brawl

Soccer Mass Brawl, Valbuena fired in a loose ball from just outside the box in the 25th minute as Marseille recorded a 1-0 victory for the 12th time this season and their seventh clean sheet in a row.There were angry scenes at the final whistle after Fabien Audard slapped Valbuena in the face.Lorient goalkeeper Audard and Andre Ayew of Marseille were sent off as tempers flared among both sets of players.Marseille have 64 points with four games left, six behind leaders Paris St Germain who visit lowly Evian Thonon Gaillard on Sunday, and are looking good for the second Champions League spot next season.Coach Elip Baup's Marseille finished Saturday's game with three injured players.Defender Rod Fanni picked up a thigh problem and is out for 10 days. Striker Andre-Pierre Gignac will miss three or four days of training with an ankle injury and midfielder Benoit Cheyrou has concerns about his thigh.Olympique Lyon, who have 59 points in third position and are five points adrift of Marseille, host fourth-placed St Etienne (57) on Sunday."This is a very important weekend," Marseille goalkeeper Steve Mandanda told Canal Plus television."At this stage of the season the most important thing is the three points and 1-0 is our favourite scoreline."Valbuena went close to scoring in the seventh minute when Audard palmed away his curling free kick from 25 metres.The keeper shone again in the 23rd minute when he kept out a long-range effort from Gignac.Audard was then beaten by a half-volley from Valbuena after he had parried an effort from Ayew into the path of the French international.Lorient, seventh on 50 points, pushed for an equaliser in the second half but Mandanda stopped a powerful Maxime Barthelme strike in the 72nd minute and the woodwork denied the attacking midfielder a minute later.Nancy, who climbed out of the relegation zone for the first time in seven months last weekend, drew 0-0 at Valenciennes and are fifth from bottom on 35 points, one point above safety.Champions Montpellier stayed eighth on 48 points despite a 2-1 defeat at Ajaccio.Andy Delort's 82nd-minute penalty for Ajaccio cancelled out Anthony Mounier's second-half opener before Dennis Oliech headed the winner in the last minute.Ajaccio's Fousseni Diawara was shown a straight red card for a violent tackle in the 47th minute and Montpellier midfielder Younes Belhanda missed the resulting penalty.Abdelhamid El Kaoutari of Montpellier was also sent off eight minutes from time when he committed the foul that caused Delort's penalty.

Jane Fonda aging secret

Jane Fonda aging secret, Jane Fonda's attitude to fitness has softened as she has aged.The actress-and-fitness pioneer discussed her latest project, a new yoga DVD entitled Jane Fonda: Prime Time AM/PM Yoga for Beginners, during an interview at Sirius XM Radio in New York City.During the hour long question and answer session the iconic Hollywood star talks about her film career and movie roles as well as her work as an advocate for women's fitness.Now aged 75, Fonda's exercise mantra has altered as she has grown older.Her previous 'no pain, no gain' attitude has been replaced for a more relaxed attitude to working out."I used to be all about going for the pain," Fonda said."Not anymore. I'm not asking them to do anything too hard. I do them [the exercises] with older people in mind."I want it to be fun and easy for them, but effective."The Barbarella actress looked chic and elegant in a black polo-neck and boot-cut black trousers that showed off her trim figure at the interview.Adding a hint of star style to her simple look, Jane opted for an on trend Elsa Peretti silver cuff, diamond hoop earrings and a long silver necklace."I owe 30 per cent to genes, 30 per cent to good sex, 30 per cent because of sports and healthy lifestyle and for the remaining ten per cent, I have to thank my plastic surgeon," Fonda said about her stunning appearance.Fonda admits that not every older person looks as good as she does and joked how she was "well aware of how 75 can look"."Every single time I go to get out of a car now, I say 'Thank you, Lord, I have strong quads."'"Because if I didn't have strong quads, I couldn't be independent. You have to keep your back and legs strong so you can remain free and independent," she said.Fonda's new yoga DVD is more easygoing than her previous workout videos. It focuses on light stretches that will improve mobility, rather than tire out the user.

Previo al Draft NFL 2013 – NFC West

Aquí está el último de nuestros previos al Draft NFL 2013: la división más competida de la NFL, la NFC West. Los Niners llegaron al Super Bowl y estuvieron a punto de ganarlo, mientras que Seattle fue uno de los equipos más competitivos de la liga.

Además de eso, los Rams tuvieron un sorprendente récord de 4-1-1 en contra de su división y tienen varios picks en el Draft para reforzarse de inmediato, mientras que los Cardinales están en proceso de reconstrucción.

Nota: Recuerda revisar los previos que se han publicado

AFC East / NFC East / AFC North / NFC North / AFC South / NFC South / AFC West / NFC West

Arizona Cardinals

Los Cardinals están estrenando Head Coach en la figura de Bruce Arians, un entrenador con filosofía ofensiva que de inmediato se encargó de traer a Carson Palmer para ser su QB titular y a Rashard Mendenhall, un RB que conoce desde sus días en Pittsburgh.

Su ofensiva puede basarse en lo que haga Larry Fitzgerald, sin embargo para el balón llegue a sus manos, hace falta que quien lanza tenga tiempo; es justo ahí donde radica su necesidad más imperante, en la línea ofensiva.

A la defensiva tienen actualmente algunos jugadores capaces de generar jugadas grandes, sin embargo también podrían reforzar as sus linebackers, quienes vieron la baja de Karlos Dansby durante el offseason. Adicionalmente, agregar poder en la línea defensiva les caería bastante bien dado que se enfrentan dos veces al año a corredores como Marshawn Lynch y Frank Gore.

Si lo que buscan es planear para el futuro, pueden buscar seleccionar a un QB en rondas intermedias que sea sucesor de Palmer, ya que ni él ni Drew Stanton son lo suficientemente jóvenes ni confiables.

Picks en el Draft

Ronda 1, pick 7

Ronda 2, pick 6 (38)

Ronda 3, pick 7 (69)

Ronda 4, pick 6 (103)

Ronda 5, pick 7 (140)

Ronda 6, pick 6 (174)

Ronda 7, pick (219) (de Carolina por Oakland)

Principales necesidades

Offensive Lineman, Defensive Lineman, Quarterback.

San Francisco 49ers

Ningún equipo tiene más picks en el Draft que el actual campeón de la NFC (13 picks) y sin duda van a ser uno de los protagonistas. Además de tener esta gran cantidad de selecciones, los 49ers fueron uno de los equipos más activos en la agencia libre, adquiriendo a Anquan Boldin por una sexta selección, a Nnamdi Asomugha, a Phil Dawson y a Glenn Dorsey, por lo que tienen muy pocos huecos por cubrir.

Sin duda la principal prioridad de este equipo es encontrar el reemplazo inmediato a Dashon Goldson, quien se fue a Tampa Bay. Otra prioridad de los 49ers es empezar a desarrollar al reemplazo de Justin Smith, quien es la clave de la defensiva y cuando se lesionó el pass rush y la cobertura contra pase se fueron al piso.

En cuanto a la ofensiva, los 49ers parecen un equipo completo. Se fue Randy Moss pero llegó Boldin. Colin Kaepernick es el titular indiscutible y su nuevo reemplazo es Colt McCoy. La línea ofensiva es bastante sólida y probablemente buscarán a un segundo tight end detrás de Vernon Davis. Los equipos especiales, sobre todo el pateador, está bastante sólido con Phil Dawson.

Los Niners son uno de los equipos que se puede mover a placer en este Draft NFL 2013 y sin duda Jim Harbaugh puede conseguir el talento necesario para completar el objetivo de su equipo, que es ser campeón del Super Bowl.

Picks en el Draft

Ronda 1, pick 31

Ronda 2, pick 2 (34) (de los Chiefs)

Ronda 2, pick 29 (61)

Ronda 3, pick 12 (74) (de los Panthers)

Ronda 3, pick 31 (93)

Ronda 4, pick 31 (128)

Ronda 4, pick 34 (131) (complementaria)

Ronda 5, pick 24 (157) (de los Colts)

Ronda 6, pick 5 (173) (de los Eagles)

Ronda 6, pick 12 (180) (de los Dolphins)

Ronda 7, pick 31 (237)

Ronda 7, pick 40 (246) (complementaria)

Ronda 7, pick 46 (252) (complementaria)

Principales necesidades:

Safety, Cornerback, defensive end, tight end

Seattle Seahawks

Pocos equipos en la NFL están tan completos como los Seahawks, quienes el año pasado fueron una revelación y en el 2013 lucen como uno de los favoritos para llegar al Super Bowl. Antes del inicio de la agencia libre hicieron un gran movimiento para adquirir a Percy Harvin a cambio de su selección de primera ronda, con lo que le dan más armas a Russell Wilson.

En la agencia libre se encargaron de reforzar por completo su línea defensiva, consiguiendo tanto a Cliff Avril como a Michael Bennett. Un movimiento que puede ser una gran adición es Antoine Winfield, quien jugará como CB nickel y es un verdadero playmaker.

Las necesidades de los Seahawks son muy pocas, pero la prioridad debe de ser reforzar el lado derecho de su línea ofensiva, tanto en la posición de tackle como en la de guard. Otra prioridad debe de ser el darle profundidad a su cuerpo de linebackers. Fuera de eso Seattle es uno de los equipos mejor armados para la temporada 2013 (en el papel).

Picks del Draft

Ronda 2, pick 24 (56)

Ronda 3, pick 25 (87)

Ronda 4, pick 26 (123)

Ronda 5, pick 5 (138) (de los Raiders)

Ronda 5, pick 25 (158)

Ronda 6, pick 26 (194)

Ronda 7, pick 14 (220) (de los Saints)

Ronda 7, pick 25 (231)

Ronda 7, pick 35 (241) (complementaria)

Ronda 7, pick 36 (242) (complementaria)

Principales necesidades:

Linebacker, tackle derecho, guard, QB, suplente, tight end

St Louis Rams

Un equipo que está volando bajo el radar pero no debería ser descartado del todo. El año pasado comenzaron un nuevo plan con Les Sneed como General Manager y Jeff Fisher como Head Coach; la evaluación de ambos hasta el momento es positiva, ya que están sentando las bases para un equipo que puede mantenerse en el partido gracias a su defensiva y que año pasado obtuvo el mejor récord dentro de su división.

Lo que hace falta ahora es darle armas al ataque para poner puntos en el marcador, la salida de Steven Jackson ha dejado un hueco en el back field y en la posición de receptores, perdieron a Danny Amendola que era el más eficiente en la posición.

Con dos selecciones en la primera ronda pueden hacer una excelente combinación de dos jugadores que aporten de manera inmediata, si lo hacen del lado de la defensiva podrán convertir a su cuadro en uno de élite; si deciden reforzar la ofensiva las armas para Sam Bradford se diversificarán y dejará de haber pretextos.

Picks en el Daft

Ronda 1, pick 16

Ronda 1, pick 22 (de los Redskins)

Ronda 2, pick 14 (46)

Ronda 3, pick 16 (78)

Ronda 4, pick 16 (113)

Ronda 5, pick 16 (149)

Ronda 6, pick 16 (184)

Ronda 7, pick 16 (222)

Principales necesidades

Wide Receiver, Runningback, Safety, Offensive Linemen, Linebacker.

El Condor

Jim Brown rentre au cinéma par le biais du western (Rio Conchos), puis accède à une certaine notoriété grace à 100 Rifles. Rien d'étonnant à ce qu'il persévère dans ce genre très prisé du grand public où les Noirs n'avaient jusqu'alors que des rôles subalternes de serviteurs, de comiques ou de méchants...EL CONDOR - John Guillermin (1970)Luke (Jim Brown) est un forçat en cavale. Jaroo (Lee Van Cleef) est un chercheur d'or sans trop de scrupules. Les deux hommes s'associent dans l'espoir de faire main basse sur un gros pactole de lingots d'or dans une forteresse mexicaine, El Condor, sous le commandement de Chavez (Patrick O'Neal).Ils sont aidés dans leur entreprise par la tribu de native americans de Santana (Iron Eyes Cody)...Sur une  BO composée par le français Maurice Jarre, voilà à nouveau Jim Brown dans un "western paëlla" (tourné dans l'Etat espagnol, les décors chiadés seront réutilisés par exemple dans Conan le Barbare). Mais comparé à 100 rifles, il est trop propret, trop terne ; on sent pointer ses envies de jouer les tough guy mais le rôle qui lui est confié le limite et on doit encore attendre deux ans pour le voir enfin aux commandes de Slaughter. Il faut toutefois noter l'effort du scénariste Larry Cohen et du réalisateur John Guillermin qui proposent un duo interracial pas trop déséquilibré pour l'époque. Les deux hommes s'illustrent plus tard dans la blaxploitation ; Cohen nous gratifiera de deux des meilleurs films blax : Black Caesar et Hell Up in Harlem- et Guillermin réalisera le troisième volet des aventures du privé de Harlem : Shaft in Africa.La véritable révélation, c'est plutôt Lee Van Cleef, qui montre un potentiel comique qu'on lui connaît peu et une palette d'expressions  qui le placent au centre du film, comparé au jeu monolithique de Jim Brown. Le deux acteurs se retrouveront sur Take a Hard Ride et Kid Vengeance.Goudrons et plumes, indiens, cavalerie, canyons et jolie traîtresse : tous les ingrédients du westerns sont réunis. Mais le film peine tout de même à trouver sa voie entre de nombreux passages comiques, des fusillades en règle et la tension sexuelle que fait régner la jolie Marianna Hill ; sans jamais exploiter à fond le filon.Le casting est essentiellement européen , mais l'on retrouve quelques gueules connues des afficionados de westerns comme Patrick O'Neal ou l'acteur italo-américain spécialisé dans les rôles d'Indiens : Iron Eyes Cody. Quelques seconds rôles blancs réapparaîtront dans les soul movies tels Elisha Cook (Blacula, 1941) et Rafael Albaicín (Charley-One-Eye).
