The Strange Case of Tebow and the Jets

There are moments in the history of one’s fandom when the team you root for does something so strange, so inexplicable, so utterly baffling, that you have to put it down to the sheer orneriness of things—to Poe’s imp of the perverse, to get a little literary about it. Either that, or you’d have to face the truth that the man calling the shots for your team is a right-wing Republican, who, on strictly ideological grounds, likes doing perverse and irrational things and then pretending that they make sense.

I am referring here of course, to the news that the Jets have acquired Tim Tebow to be their backup quarterback, trading a fourth- and a sixth-round pick to get him along with a seventh-round pick from the Broncos. This is one of those moves so puzzling, so bizarre, so counter-productive and incomprehensible, that, to borrow a line from Bill James, it seems like the kind of thing that should be phoned in anonymously from an unknown caller, rather than announced in a press release. How do I hate thee? Let me count the ways.

Nike SB Spring 2012 Drop

Following the nice lil weather change Nike SB held it down with the drop of their spring stash, featuring the classic janoski and dunk Silhouette alongside the rather new additions like the team edition 2s coming in a really royal blue & P-Rod’s latest. Nothing really flashy here apparent from the 420 Janoski…they’re looking certified fresh.

Huge asteroid set for ‘close encounter’ with Earth
A huge asteroid will pass closer to Earth than the moon on Tuesday, giving scientists a rare chance for study without having to go through the time and expense of launching a probe, officials said.

Earth’s close encounter with Asteroid 2005 YU 55 will occur at 6:28 p.m. EST (2328 GMT) on Tuesday, as the space rock sails about 323,469 km from the planet.

“It is the first time since 1976 that an object of this size has passed this closely to the Earth. It gives us a great — and rare — chance to study a near-Earth object like this,” astronomer Scott Fisher, a program director with the National Science Foundation, said on Thursday during a Web chat with reporters.

The orbit and position of the asteroid, which is about 1,312 feet (400 meters) in diameter, is well known, added senior research scientist Don Yeomans, with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.

'...We tend to underestimate the political power of physical places. Then Tahrir Square comes along. Now it’s Zuccotti Park, until four weeks ago an utterly obscure city-block-size downtown plaza with a few trees and concrete benches, around the corner from ground zero and two blocks north of Wall Street on Broadway. A few hundred people with ponchos and sleeping bags have put it on the map. Kent State, Tiananmen Square, the Berlin Wall: we clearly use locales, edifices, architecture to house our memories and political energy. Politics troubles our consciences. But places haunt our imaginations.'
