2014 Team Outlook: Buffalo Bills
WR Robert Woods, BUF - Deep-league Only
While the sky's the limit for Watkins, Woods represents a steady presence for this receiving corps. A fundamentally sound player at just 22 years old, Woods posted a relative nondescript stat line as a rookie last season -- 40 catches for 587 yards and three touchdowns in 14 games -- and didn't catch more than five passes in any week. He may never record impressive season totals, but Woods will see plenty of playing time as he can line up out wide and in the slot. He is worth a stash late in point-per-reception drafts. He is a critical cog in Manuel's progression as they enter their second year together.
WR Marquise Goodwin, BUF - Dynasty Only
Goodwin is an interesting dynasty bet if only because of his pure speed and athleticism. A former track and field Olympian in the long jump, he ran a 4.27 40-yard dash at the 2013 combine. After one season, Goodwin has done little to distinguish himself as anything more than a situational deep threat, but he's got youth and time on his side. Goodwin added some muscle which should aid him gaining separation at the line. He should also continue to showcase his skills on kick returns. Those in redraft leagues can keep him in mind, but he isn't worth a pick yet.
WR Mike Williams, --- - Bust (overvalued)
Like Bryce Brown, the Bills acquired Williams knowing that he is a player with some red flags, but also a player who could pay considerable dividends if they can get him to play up to his potential. Williams has had a peaks-and-valleys career since catching 11 touchdowns as a rookie in 2010 with the Buccaneers. Last season was his rockiest yet as he was put on injured reserve in October because of a torn hamstring. Then it was learned that he accumulated more than $200,000 in fines for missing or being late to mandatory meetings and rehab sessions. He landed in Buffalo via trade in April. Williams may turn into the Bills' second-best wideout or he may be cut before the season begins. Peaks and valleys, indeed. Williams has been largely forgotten in re-draft leagues. The 27-year-old has a lot to prove.
WR T.J. Graham, NYJ - Not Draft Worthy
Graham wrapped up last season with three catches for 62 yards and a touchdown in Week 17. Unfortunately for him, that may be the last contribution he makes to this team. He is competing against Marcus Easley, Kevin Elliott and Chris Hogan for the No. 5 WR gig, and his future with the Bills has basically been in doubt since the clock hit all zeroes in that final game. He hasn't topped 400 yards in either of his first two seasons.
TE Scott Chandler, NE - Low Potential
Although Watkins definitely fills a need at wide receiver, the Bills have another glaring one at tight end. Yet they did nothing to address it in the draft or free agency, and it looks like Chandler will be their lead option once again. To his credit, Chandler came back from a 2012 ACL tear to set career-highs in receptions (53) and yards (655). However, he is slower than government decision-making and underwent another knee surgery this offseason from which he has not fully healed. Even if he keeps his starting job, he is a low-end TE2.
TE Chris Gragg, BUF - Dynasty Only
Gragg caught five passes in nine games last season, but he is mentioned here because is 6-foot-3, about 250 pounds and possesses 4.50 wheels. Considering the lackluster options ahead of him, Gragg might move up just due to his physical attributes. He is worth a thought in the deepest dynasty leagues.

this case plus the realook screen protectors makes for a very attractive and effective protection without a lot of bulk or taking away from the appearance of the phone. i thought this was too flashy for my tastes until i saw it in person, at which point i really liked it.
the realook screen protectors are absolutely fantastic too. they go edge to edge, covering every bit of the glass, so you can't tell it's there - no seams. it doesn't distort the screen, there's no rainbow effect, and it feels like touching the original glass, not plastic. best screen protector i've ever come across - they should be invisible.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — A new study looking at 11,000 years of climate temperatures shows the world in the middle of a dramatic U-turn, lurching from near-record cooling to a heat spike.
Research released Thursday in the journal Science uses fossils of tiny marine organisms to reconstruct global temperatures back to the end of the last ice age. It shows how the globe for several thousands of years was cooling until an unprecedented reversal in the 20th century.
Scientists said it is further evidence that modern-day global warming isn't natural, but the result of rising carbon dioxide emissions that have rapidly grown since the Industrial Revolution began roughly 250 years ago.
The decade of 1900 to 1910 was one of the coolest in the past 11,300 years – cooler than 95 percent of the other years, the marine fossil data suggest. Yet 100 years later, the decade of 2000 to 2010 was one of the warmest, said study lead author Shaun Marcott of Oregon State University. Global thermometer records only go back to 1880, and those show the last decade was the hottest for this more recent time period.
"In 100 years, we've gone from the cold end of the spectrum to the warm end of the spectrum," Marcott said. "We've never seen something this rapid. Even in the ice age the global temperature never changed this quickly."
Using fossils from all over the world, Marcott presents the longest continuous record of Earth's average temperature. One of his co-authors last year used the same method to look even farther back. This study fills in the crucial post-ice age time during early human civilization.
Marcott's data indicates that it took 4,000 years for the world to warm about 1.25 degrees from the end of the ice age to about 7,000 years ago. The same fossil-based data suggest a similar level of warming occurring in just one generation: from the 1920s to the 1940s. Actual thermometer records don't show the rise from the 1920s to the 1940s was quite that big and Marcott said for such recent time periods it is better to use actual thermometer readings than his proxies.
Before this study, continuous temperature record reconstruction only went back about 2,000 years. The temperature trend produces a line shaped like a "hockey stick" with a sudden spike after what had been a fairly steady line. That data came from tree rings, ice cores and lake sediments.
Marcott wanted to go farther back, to the end of the last ice age in more detail by using the same marine fossil method his colleague used. That period also coincides with a "really important time for the history of our planet," said Smithsonian Institution research anthropologist Torben Rick. That's the time when people started to first domesticate animals and start agriculture, which is connected to the end of the ice age.
Marcott's research finds the climate had been gently warming out of the ice age with a slow cooling that started about 6,000 years ago.
Then the cooling reversed with a vengeance.
The study shows the recent heat spike "has no precedent as far back as we can go with any confidence, 11,000 years arguably," said Pennsylvania State University professor Michael Mann, who wrote the original hockey stick study but wasn't part of this research. He said scientists may have to go back 125,000 years to find warmer temperatures potentially rivaling today's.
However, another outside scientist, Jeff Severinghaus of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography thinks temperatures may have changed even more dramatically 12,000 years ago, at least in Greenland, based on research by some of his colleagues.
Several outside scientists praised the methods Marcott used, but said it might be a bit too oriented toward the Northern Hemisphere.
Marcott said the general downward trend of temperatures that reversed 100 years ago seemed to indicate the Earth was heading either toward another ice age or little ice age from about 1550 to 1850. Or it was continuing to cool naturally until greenhouse gases from the burning of fossil fuels changed everything.
The reason the globe warmed after the ice age and then started cooling about 6,000 years ago has to do with the tilt of the Earth and its distance from the sun, said Marcott and Severinghaus. Distance and angle in the summer matter because of heat absorption and reflection and ground cover.
"We have, through human emissions of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases, indefinitely delayed the onset of the next ice age and are now heading into an unknown future where humans control the thermostat of the planet," said Katharine Hayhoe, an atmospheric scientist at Texas Tech University, responding in an email.

Somewhere way back on page 1 or 2 I had posted about my maximum screensize being halved. NEver did find out why that happened. I uninstalled the 40's and went back to whatever i was using before, 29.42 i think. Thing was, the bug was still there. So i had no idea what It was all about. If i wanted to I probably could have put massive chunks of my day into fixing it, but a clean OS install was an easier way. 1 hour later I was back up with XP running and everything installed. I have most of my stuff backed up on another drive so the core OS can just be reinstaled easily. Problem fixed this time. i have the whole screen to work with again.
GeForce3. The celeron 566@953 showed very little increase in any of the hi-poly scenes in 3dmark2k1SE, but low-poly's increased a tad. NAture demo went from 17 to 33fps though!! that's nearly 100%
I'm sure not too many of my games will improve THAT much since my cpu is a huge bottleneck, but i'll take what I can get.

Or is Irish Candy some foreign euphemism for alcohol?
Why does that sound racist?
Most of our 'candy' (We just call 'em sweets) are just really the general Nestle and Cadbury range that you can get in most of Europe. I'm a huge fan of Snickers though. I would swim in Snickers if I could. Picnic is amazing too. Irish don't really make our own candy as @mandude pointed out though, just the alcoholic kind.

Does it? I think I could get on board with such a term, and I'm more than ready to give recommendations on my favourite alcohol.
If you want Irish made stuff you'd probably need to get hard-boiled sweets like brandy balls or something as they are usually made locally. The ones I get are anyway. They are usually on a separate rack in most convenience stores. As for chocolates and such, it's pretty much the same as anywhere in the UK. If in the North she could get Tayto crisps or something. I dunno if they do those down South.
Also, we don't call anything candyーunless it's Halloween, when you can get candy apples. Other than those, candy seems like such a generic term that can mean any kind of sweet/chocolate to me.

Anything made of chocolate. Flakes are amazing, especially in an ice cream cone. Crunchies are like better Butterfingers. You can get them over in the US but I remember Aero bars being way easier to find over their, and those are super good. Smarties are better M&Ms.
Generally, anything with chocolate will be delicious. Even Cadbury Buttons over their are better than pretty much any candy you'll get stateside, except maybe the real fancy stuff.
I'd suggest you smuggle the eggs over, but pretty sure they will confiscate them if they find them.
Tayto crisps are worth 4 times their weight in gold. Holy shit they are so much better than chips here in the states.
Just tell her to try a bit of everything, and take back the best stuff.
Man, I need to import some Tayto crisps.
OH! Get some Chef Sauce. It's an awesome sandwich condiment. Vaguely vinegary but there's a lot more to it. A roast beef, swiss, chef sauce, and tayto crisps sandwich is fucking heaven on earth oh my god.
And if you like tea, ask the locals for the best brands and snag some.
In short, just bring all things edible.
I miss Ireland.
Off the top of my head these were the best sweets from when I was small:
Sweets: Blackjacks, Juicy Fruits, Chewits, Double Dip, Choc Dip, Snowball, Frosties, Refreshers, Drum Stick, Stinger, Hubba Bubba.
Chocolate: Animal Bar, Freddo, Curly Wurly, Starbar, Klipso, Macaroon, Mint Crisp, Wagon Wheels.
Crisps: Banshee Bones, Ma'Reillys, Meanies, Jonnie Onion Rings, Rancheros, Hunky Dorys, Tayto, King, Chicatees, Chipstix, Snax, MIghty Munch. Burger Bites
In my adult years I've had to get a number of fillings, a root canal and a crown. No regrets..
I go to the UK yearly. I like Crunchie bars and Mint Aeros the best. Chocolate Oranges and Jaffa Cakes are cool too.

Milwaukee Rep taps power, passion of 'Raisin in the Sun'
Lorraine Hansberry's "A Raisin in the Sun" is not only one of the greatest American plays ever written. It's also a play - read in school, seen on film and frequently performed - we all think we know better than we actually do.
The Milwaukee Repertory Theater drove these truths home Friday night, opening a galvanic production of "Raisin" that will go down as a landmark we'll be talking about for years - and that I assure you is like no "Raisin" you've ever seen. »Read Full Article

Negroponte Offers to Collaborate with India on $35 Tablet
One Laptop Per Child project founder wants to help the country realize their tablet efforts.
Nicholas Negroponte, project founder of One Laptop Per Child, offered to collaborate with India's Ministry of Human Resource Development to realize the country's aspirations for a US$ 35 laptop. OLPC has had a checkered relationship with the MHRD, which initially rejected the OLPC initiative saying, "It would be impossible to justify an expenditure of this scale on a debatable scheme when public funds continue to be in inadequate supply for well-established needs listed in different policy documents," the ministry said.
Negroponte's offer is being viewed by many as an attempt at collaboration, something OLPC has failed to adopt in the past. Negroponte has said that competition would hurt the OLPC initiative, but he now seems more willing to embrace competitors.
India's US$ 35 laptop is currently unnamed. The device was developed by students and teachers at The Indian Institute of Technology in Kanpur, Mumbai, Chennai and Kharagpur and the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore. It was built on open source technologies and features a Web browser, a multimedia player, PDF reader, Wi-Fi connectivity, and video conferencing capabilities.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The Indiana Biosciences Research Institute announced today that it has reached the first $50 million funding milestone, fueling continued momentum in the development of the nation's first industry-led biosciences research institute.
Officially launched in a public announcement on May 30 by Indiana Governor Mike Pence with leading Hoosier companies and universities, the research institute serves as the catalyst to advancing the state's life sciences strengths. The Institute, which will attract world-class scientific leaders and research dollars to Indiana, will accelerate collaboration across and among Indiana's substantial academic and commercial research assets while focusing on human health solutions for improving the lives of Hoosiers and people around the world.
In less than 5 months, the Indiana Biosciences Research Institute has raised $25 million from corporate and philanthropic funders, matching the $25 million appropriated by the Indiana General Assembly earlier this year.
Eli Lilly and Company, whose Chairman and CEO, John Lechleiter, Ph.D., joined Governor Pence in 2012 in calling for the establishment of a biosciences research institute, has committed $7.5 million in start-up funding.
"Today's announcement represents a significant investment by Lilly in the future of Indiana and in the future of biosciences research," Lechleiter said. "Each year in Indiana, billions of dollars are invested in research and development to advance medical innovation. This Institute will help Indiana attract additional global talent and will nurture partnerships across the state and across the country - keeping more research dollars in Indiana'/>"/>

Sometimes the saying "less is more" is so true. Just showing the edge is enough, and he's sexy without being "out there in your face".
Originally written on Sportress of Blogitude | Last updated 2/3/12
Huh. That's different. I guess we'll just have to take Jockey's word for it that they are nice underwear. Not that I needed or wanted to see Tim Tebow in his underwear. It's just that it strikes me as an ineffective campaign to pay Tim Tebow a boatload of money to promote your product and [...]
Comments 1-100 (of 117):
These critics have no idea about Tebow. It is because they have not a clue what it takes to be 100% true to your conviction. They have not (1) clue. The reviews from the "experts" tells me this so easily. Tebow is more of a man than any of these experts could ever hope to be, in body, soul, and mind. I wish we had a governoment chock full of Tim Tebow's, and a few experts who understand what the deeper meaning that Tebow is relecting to the millions of people he is affecting. God Bless this "True Man" and God @#$%#@ these so called /worthless experts. I would like to have a minute or two behind the barn them, which to teach them some things in many lesson formats.

This is not a dating site!!!! No wonder why your still single.
why not just buy one,maybe its just BS !!
Bet your not a doctor. Bet your a loser who can't get none!
100% of your convictions ha ha i wish i made what he made in the past season why does he not give it to charity 100% if he is christan.
Just because someone is a Christian doesn't mean they should live in poverty. 10% is what Christians are encouraged to give..a lot less than the federal government. Also if you would like to make what he made then do what he does.
Jesus said "Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's". Are you questioning the big Guy or just making a political statement? So, too, it would appear you're OK with state and local taxes. What say you, Judy?
Tebow makes $1.6 million; Carson Palmer makes $11.6 million. Tebow flys children who are sick and their families to see Denver games; puts them up in hotel; gets them a rental car and spends time with the children and their parents after the game. He also takes time to fly to a childs location; visits with them for a day and publicly praises and notes their names and trials in his after game interviews.
And for this he is chastised, his religious convictions demonized and every aspect of this good man's life is dismissed as irrelevent with thousands of words written in the press.
Yet, a Canadian Muslim and his son can drown their two daughters(sisters)and mother(ex-wife) in an "honor" killing and in the USA, the politically correct media mentions it on page 59 and describes it as a "religious culture clash"...didn't even mention the murderers where Muslims. If it had been a Christian...I wonder what kind of field day the US media would have had and still be having trying to prove that Christianity is the "root" of all evil.
How much do you think he gave to charities?
I bet its much more than most people will ever make. Should he refuse the pay and live in poverty to prove the man that he is? Many people would be hurt if he did so.
In the grand scheme of things, I imagine money is not much of a motivator to Tim.
God requires us to use our talents and the grow interest upon our gifts and too be generous. Tim Tebow knows this and he practices this. Most of us out here cannot even come close to being the "true man" this young guy is. This is why we admire the man.
K McC
Tebow sits at the left hand of God now? If he's not interested in money why is he making all these commercials and public appearances? Wait til contract time comes and we'll see how "Christian" and altrustic he is when it comes to money then. God, save us from those so easily conned by the self-righteous who can't see that there is often "the man behind the curtain" and the wizzard is just a man.
Give 100% to charity? And live on what? Food stamps? You have no idea what Tim does with his earnings. Since he is the son of missionaries, and grew up on the mission field, an EDUCATED guess would be that he gives away a great deal.
That is all this country needs is a religous dictorship. What ever happened to the separation of church and state in the Constitution???
Why is it that when someone talks about faith or God we always hear about the seperation of church and state? If we are going to seperate ones beliefs from the goverment then lets really do it. Then if I don't believe in abortion I shouldn't have to hear about it or my taxes pay for it, my children should not have to learn about homosexuality in a class. When I talk I'm cramming my religon down someones throat, but when they do it they are standing up for their rights.
It is because we are Christian. Christianity remains the only religion that gets chastised.
Because separartion of church and state ISN'T in the Constitution...it only appears in a LETTER written by Thomas Jefferson.
And how does an ad for underwear lead to your illogical statement about "....a religious dictatorship?" Maybe your time would be better spent studying the Constitution or the religious foundation of the founding of this great Republic before you "put mouth" into gear.
Actually, it IS in the Constitution. It is the FIRST sentence of the FIRST Amendment. States that the Government shall not make a religion a law of the land. While the words "Separation of church and state" aren't there, the implication is. It is the First Amendment that allows freedom of religion. And people confuse it's meaning all the time.
It is not implied -- talking about religion, prayer, etc. does not make it the "law of the land."
I agree...but the implication of separation of church and state IS implied because it states, in no uncommon terms, that the state will NOT dictate/rule religion and that religion will NOT dictate/rule the state. We're not talking about "talking of prayer, religion, etc...". That's what I meant by people confusing the meaning of what the First Amendment really means.
And Tebow is our dictator? Get a grip!
I grow weary of people showing their ignorance. There is no mention of separation of church and state in the Constitution.
For the LOrd, The God of Israel,saith that he hateth putting away: FOR ONE COVERETH VIOLENCE WITH HIS GARMENT, saith the LORD OF HOSTS: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treaherously. MALACHI 2:16

Malachi 2:17
Thanks, K. McC MBA. I assume MBA indicates you have that degree. Did they not teach you in MBA school how to use spell check? Thanks for introducing a new word to us. I will use the word "relecting" every chance I get. I am a big Tebow fan, but more because he is unique, honest, and a great role model. I believe the Jockey folks dropped the ball. A little side shot of his butt would have been sufficient. Incidentally, I think Jockey underwear sucks. Sorry you got stuck with them, Tim.
Tebow is far less than 100% true to his conviction. Read Matt: 6 and you find he's among "the hypocrites who pray and remonstrate in the Temple and street corners that they be seen". Go to your room and pray in secret it says. And, dude, turn the other cheek if you're so miffed.
OMG, what a hypocrite you are. First, you try and be all "righteous" with your "God" this&that, then you want to "teach lessons behind the barn," obviously, violence suggestive. We are all created in the image of God, and if you think he's a male, then he has a *****. (Bet your head is about to explode about now!) Yes, *****, it's in the dictionary. Look it up. It's what Tebow is trying to cover up. What a prude. Maybe it's to tiny and that would be embarrassing for him. (Is your head still in tact??) Did you see Shaquelle O'Neal on Jimmy Fallon in pink bikini bottoms? Check it out on You Tube. Now there's a man with guts! Tebo is a wuss and a prude for..."oh, no, I can't take my pants off!" what a sissy!! Hey, let's go behind the barn and I'll teach you many "lesson formats" of my own!! LOL!!
They are selling their underwear by saying his lifestyle speaks volumes. And, it truly does. He's a man of God and I don't need to see his butt to believe in him, or, HIM either. I'd look for the name of the underwear if I was looking to buy some for a guy. The ad works as it is.
I don't know why they make him look like he's throwing a pass, we all know that's not his strong point. I have been a Bronco fan all my life and think Tebow is a great guy, but his passing game is a little lacking. Hope Elway can give him a few pointers in the off season.
So what's your point? Just because passing isn't his strong point doesn't mean he can't have a photo taken in a passing pose.
2Cr 12:9 Each time he said, "My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness." So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.
The cut-off image is low-class. I think the picture is fine, but, maybe they could have shot closer so one could see the label of the product, in this case, his underwear? Now a guy does not have to feel strange look at the picture. It is terrible reading an article in public with a picture on the opposite page of a guy lounging is his skivs and someone walks by and glances over your shoulder. LOL. Nothing wrong with that though!
This is the sexiest pur thing I have ever seen! Great job!
What is the big deal about the ad? There was another ad that didn't show the product and everyone talked about it. I guess that makes it a successful ad campaign. I was out of the country at the time, but I believe it was for either Lexus or Infinity cars.
You're right. There are MANY ads that don't show the product, and --in most cases -- what those ads DO show is skin.
I find it humorous that the article says "ad experts agree...."
The only "ad experts" that matter are the consumers, and I hope they ALL go out and buy a bunch of new skivvies!
The experts in this article need to return to Marketing 101. It has never been about the product per se, rather the "perceived" product. The consumer in this case are men, not women, so you can not even play the sex card here.
Tim Tebow's name and face will carry the day for Jockey.
I am so proud of Tim Tebow not bowing to the advertisment that sells sex more than the product. A man of integrity is rare, I hope sales skyrocket to prove the advertising experts wrong.
I can promise you, they may use sex to sell a product, but that is only to sell the product. And I doubt straight guys will be thinking of Tebow in any sexual way. Gay guys might, and Jesus wouldn't like that (Or would he? wink wink nudge nudge) or maybe you mean guys might think they would get more sex in those underwear (They think about that anyway) Girls.. might buy underwear for guys they know, and if it works every girls mind the way it worked yours... They sell more underwear. Which was the point.
I'm a girl and I know lots of other girls and I don't know any girls that buy underware for guys they know. I don't think girls buy underware for guys they know unless theyre dating or married and if thats the case then why the hell do they need to see the underware in the first place theyre already getting the sex. therefore that aspect does nothing for the campaign unless the your gay.
well i gues he never got pay for this shoot and did it for free . he is topless and that the contrevorsy is his religion vs that he is wearing
I know what guys' underwear looks like. Don't need to see it!
I like the ad.
I like the ad also and I also don't need to see the underwear is the perception of what's there and that's all that's needed...YEAH TEBOW!
I wonder what brand of Jock Strap he uses, or maybe none that he is blessed????
Ditto! You said it.
To feature product they could have simply had him holding up the product in front of his pants or photo shopped a pair beside him. Proper branding requires the product be part of the focus otherwise all they have really done is give Tebow more branding. Many people will only remember he was pitching something not what brand he was pitching.
I think if people who are fans of Tebow think that he wears Jockey underware than they are going to wear it to cause it's Tim Tebow and they all wanna be just like down to even his underware, that how crazy the pubkic can be sometimes.
Abercrombie and Fitch sell clothes, but their models are shown unclothed, especially print ads.
I am a woman but I will buy jockey shorts for the males in my life cause Tebow kept his pants on. He is a better man for it. Of course we ALL new that already
You are right on!
I am a single female, but I want to buy a bunch and donate them to Goodwill and second-hand clothing stores. Also will see if I can buy Jockey socks or tees.
Tebow captured the most rating playing football's regular season, this is a sign of a bankable image. People who adore Tebow, mind you millions are out there will be convince to open their pockets with all their hearts to spend on products regardless what angle it is presented in an ad.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Tim Tebow EVEN MORE now!!!!!!!!! He did not sell out!!! He is so awesome, and I have always loved Jockey....love them even more now, too!!! love love love Tebow!!! sexier than ever :))))
I like it!!! Good for you, Jockey!
I see all I need. I would buy my husband these jockey shorts based on the ad. I APPLAUSE JOCKEY & TIM TEBOW.
What do these so-called marketing "experts" know? Aren't these the same people who put out Infinity ads without showing the car?
We are women, we are proud and we usually buy the underwear for the men in our lives anyway (at least if were married-lol) so A BIG HECK YAH to Tebow for not posing in his jockey shorts, we all know what they look like anyway!
I'm quite sure he would've been seen as a sell-out if he'd stripped to his skivvies. Public "fear" of a guy in his underwear has nothing to do with it. No one had "fear" of Antonio Sabato Jr, or Mark Wahlberg, or David Beckham - except for the guys who were intimidated by them, perhaps.
As for some things being better left to the imagination, that's true in some cases, but it doesn't apply to something I'm going to consider buying. I want to see it first.
If we need to see women in their underwear to sell men's cologne, cars, hamburgers, and domain names, we could at least have a guy in his underwear to sell men's underwear.
This is one of the best ads I've seen in along time. I would buy your underwear for my husband after this ad. GOOD FOR YOU.
So most of the comments on here like the ad and think it's admirable that he didn't feel the need to strip to sell it. Many of the comments are by women. What does that say about media and advertising? We are oversaturated by sexy advertising and you don't have to do that to create a good ad. I personally admire that he sticks to his morals and doesn't judge. Great ad!
I love the ad. If anything, maybe a few more 4 legged Broncos in the background. I have 2 sons, 2 son-n-laws,and 3 grandsons. I have already started my shopping for next years Christmas stockings and yes!Thanks in part to the integrity of this ad they will include Jockey brand apparel. Good job.
I have to agree with the writers who regard this as a totally weird print ad! What is a topless QB doing out in a field somewhere pitching a football to maverick horses~?? What's the high five? What has a guy in his blue jeans got to do with Jockey underwear? I think if Tebow is too modest to do a pose in underwear, which I also think he should be, then don't do the ad at all. This is just stupid. It is interesting to note, however, that most of the comments from women are positive. They seem to prefer the somewhat more chaste pose than you would get with Calvin Klein. One last note: lest anybody think that my reaction to this ad is based on any dislike of Tim Tebow, I am a Broncs fan, a Tebow lover and also an evangelical Christian. But that doesn't mean I am going to support whatever the young man does. I think this ad just shows very poor judgment - on Jockey's part AND on Tebow's part.
Ummmmmm would a QB in his underware pitching a football to horses in the mddle of feild been any better/ just a question?
THEY have poor judgment? Obviously you are more affected by Hollywood than Heaven. Sad for you, embaressing for Christians. I don't need to see a man in briefs to know the product is high quality. The company's integrity has shown me that I can trust their quality.
My goodness if that ain't sexy I don't know what is! I agree with doleeng! Tim Tebow was at Florida & I am die hard Kentucky Blue but something about this young man just made me like him. So when we weren't playin Florida I was rooting for Tebow and still am! So yeah for Tim Tebow, keep on keepin on!
The so-called ad experts do not know what they are talking about or they are in a rut in their minds. This ad is great - they capitalized on Tebow's stong example of his values values that he displayed this season by going back to an image of strength of integrity and sincerity of character. Remember the "cowboy code" the ads used. Strong, honor, chivalry, and natural. There is a perception that any claim jockey will make about their underwear will be sincere and truthful. Yeah - men may run around the house in their underwear but how many of them do you see posing like the ads in their regular activities. Good Ad, Jockey. Good for you Tebow!
Just because Tim Tebow is "hot", you have to go buy whatever he is endorsing? He isn't doing anything in this ad that would illustrate that Jockey is comfortable, and isn't that what love is? I've always thought that caring about someone's needs/desires is why you become involved. Would you be apt to wear some kind of uncomfortable panties just because your husband buys them after seeing some sexy model wear them in an ad? If you're honestly okay with that, I pity you.
It has nothing to do with being "hot." It has everything to do with quality and integrity.
What the heck is wrong here. I will tell you now, some of you are freakin crazy. Jockey is suppose to be selling underware, and what does sex have to do looking at underware unless you are some sort of perv, and I will tell you just because someone my be gay does not mean they are a perv. I care about what my underware looks like, and how they fit. 99% of time I can tell by the way they look if they are for me or not and trust me women are the same no matter what they say. If my wife went and purchased me underware just because Tebow wears them I will tell her to go fly a kite in a lightning storm. You are all worried about sexism and how proud you are of Tebow, take a closer look. Shouldnt he have at least a 1/2 shirt on.
Maybe a good point, but ads for women's underwear is very sexual in nature. Yet, we women are the ones that generally buy the garments. Wives generally buy the underwear for their husbands because, stereotypically, the man doesn't like to do any of his own shopping. 99% of ALL ads are geared to the main shopper in the house: Women. And, if your wife buys your underwear, and it's Jockey because Tebow wore them, and you tell her to fly a kite in a lightening storm, shouldn't she hold that same right to tell you to do the same because you bought her Victoria Secret because Gisele wore it? Double standard much?
First, it's spelled "underWEAR. That's because you WEAR them UNDER your clothing.
So you would tell your wife to fly a kite in a thinderstorm just because she chose your underwear without seeing them on another man, first?
That reminds me of an old joke, about a woman telling Winston Churchill, "If you were my husband, I would put poison in your tea." To which Churchill replied "Madam, if you were my wife, I would drink it!"
Tebow didn't have to make it to the Super Bowl to capture the hearts of the 86% of AMERICANS. This add shows he will be great no matter what he does.Unlike that idiot maher. Notice I wouldn't even spell his name with a capitol. His real name is Bill the Dirtbag.
I think it is wonderful that finally an add with some class! with integrity, with GUTS! Your butt doesnt need to be seen in underware to sale the product. What sales it, is comfort, and when a man is playing football or any other sport or sitting in an office chair, etc. he want fabric that breaths and is comfortable the whole day thru. THAT is what this add states! CONGRATS I APPLAUD A RESPECTABLE COMPANY ADVERTISING A GREAT PRODUCT WITH INTEGRITY!SOMETHING THIS WORLD (UNITED STATES) NEEDS ALOT MORE OF!!!
If Michael Jordan can do underwear commercials without showing the underwear, why can Tebow do it? Are we seeing a double standard here?
I am in total agreement. But, when all is said and done, BlondeJustice, I think it's because Jordan got his ads AFTER he retired and he was already proven in the game. Tebow is still earning his stripes. That can be the only reason I can possibly think of on why people are up in arms over Tebow keeping his pants on versus Jordan keeping his on. But, I totally agree with you on this.
Hey people! Underwear is not spelled "underware" and some of you are spelling the word "sell" as "sale" or using them in the wrong context.
Let's get the proper grammar showing as much as Tebow's chest...wow!
Michael Jordan doesn't walk around in his underwear on Hanes commercial! Why aren't they all over him?
Like I replied to BlondeJustice, it's most likely because when Jordan got the Hanes gig, he was already retired and had already proven himself. Tebow has yet to prove himself. He's still learning and earning his stripes.
Because Tebow gives the glory to God, instead of accepting weorship for himself, and they hate to be reminded of God.
Jockey brand is all about comfort and being yourself. So in that respect, the ad is a success because it reflects the brand's core image. We see the waist band so we know Tim Tebow wears Jockey. What we don't know is which Jockeys? Boxers, briefs or boxer-briefs?
the ad did it's job. people remember the product and the ad, whether they like it or not. tebow lovers/haters are all commenting on it, giving jockey more press. and that is what marketing is all about.
Who was the baseball player who advertised briefs? Palmer? That was sexy! Women buy more men's briefs than men. Yes, Tebow is modest and I love him and I respect him. But, give us ladies a little thrill.....can we see someone like Tom Brady in his 'tidy whitties'? I don't think Tebow's ad will sell underwear. I can tell you who would sell a lot of underwear...Peyton Manning. (Probably too conservative, like Tebow). How about Chipper Jones? There are many wonderful men out there who could sell more underwear by showing their fantastic bodies! Please the ladies when you want to sell men's underwear. Take a hint from all the ladies' 'sleepwear & underwear ads'. They are sexy! Show sexy men in their 'whitties' to sell men's underwear. A waistband just above the jeans does not sell underwear to me!
Tell Tebow I love him!
Lane Schmitt
I respect the personal convictions of Mr. Tebow and anyone else, however, it astounds me that so many want to publicly comment on behalf of Mr. Tebow's high moral character. I don't think he needs that from anyone; after all, humble piety is rarely as well-publicised as his.
I also don't agree that modeling underwear makes you a lesser person as much as not modeling underwear makes you a better one. I'm sure Mr. Tebow had no moral dilemma when cashing the check, or while signing the underwear endorsement contract. If someone were to endorse, say, a Coke-a-Cola; it would be highly ineffective to have your spokesperson drinking from a paper bag with only the bottle cap showing. That could even be considered a deception. Still, I don't fault Mr. Tebow for wanting to make his dollar, or for managing to be an underwear model without modeling underwear...In fact, I commend him. Sometimes I wonder about those who buy underwear because they saw the branded waist-band on a celebrity. Then again, if it makes you feel like a football star, it can't be all bad. :-)
The very fact that all of you are looking at the ad and commenting in a positive or negative way proves that the ad campaign is successful. Effective marketing has nothing to do with showing a product, if it did Go Daddy.Com wouldn't be sporting Danica Patrick in a tight, short dress- but it does make people remember Go Daddy.Com. The Broncos are a symbolic representation of him being a Bronco and passing to Bronco's, i.e. on the team Denver Broncos. A man who has won the Heisman and two National Championships can't have too bad a passing game. Lastly, no guy would be standing in a field passing a football in his undies- but he would be shirtless and in jeans. Advertising caters to the consumer- that is why you guys get sexy women to sell just about everything to you. Women are a bit more discerning in their advertising and are the primary consumer for Jockey, as they make up the majority of the buying market. And, you can take this from a marketing specialist who has created and been very successful in many advertising campaigns.
I think it's pathetic that the use of "religion" is exploited on the football field. It seems shallow to pray for oneself who intentionally is playing a game for profit. With all the destruction in the world, starving children, homeless families, I would hope those problems would be more worthy of prayer than football. Tebow is just a kid who loves the attention on him, and this ad says just that. Look at me...I'll do anything to stay noticed.
God is not limited in His interest or abilities. He sees every sparrow that falls, and He knows every detail of every person's life.
Wow, are you ever confused. Tebow doesn't pray to score or win. He gives THANKS to God for his abilities. As for children and families, Tebow doesn't just pray for them, he gives of himself and of his earnings.
Also, Tebow doesn't need to "do anything to stay noticed."
When he scores, he has already BEEN noticed. So he chooses that opportunity to say "I don't want the glory for this. I am praising the God Who enables me."
Okay, "SpeakingTruth" you have many comments on here. I am a Christian, so I have and do pray for everyone, including my enemies. But, I also know how to put on the full armor of God and do battle against the lies of the enemy. So, "get thee behind me." Truth has already prevailed and other Christians will defend their own. Any attention given to Tim Tebow, he offers thanks and praise to the Lord. With all the destruction in the world- starving children, homeless families- it is nice to see a brother-in-Christ continue to use his resources to help those groups and many more- like all Christians are called to do.
Wonder how much this ad increased the price of the product to pay a guy who hangs out in a field, with horses...lol
Yeah... He was just hanging out in that field with those horses, when the Jockey ad people happened by....
Why should the company change the ad? Why should Tim Tebow drop his pants? The ad has just accomplished its goal. Are you not all discussing the ad? Is it not keeping Jockey and underwear as a topic of conversation? Tim Tebow's convictions only enter into the ad or football because there are so many people in the world that don't want to be convicted of anything. Enjoy his talent. Give him the freedom to worship as he pleases. Yes, I know you also have freedom of speech, but trust me, there some things out there that we need to talk about. Underwear is not one of them.
Ad executives saying he needed to drop his pants to see the product. I guess then the Hanes commercials with Michael Jordan were just as innefective? I think not. Good for Tebow ... stay with your convictions.
Yep... he is all about fame, "look at me"...and he stooped to his knee for what worthy request??? Shallow minds think that he is awesome...so sad. He's in the sports entertainment business, he will do what sells...and reap it's benefits.
Try to pay attention. Tebow doesn't bow to ASK for anything. He is giving THANKS.
When he scores, he bows to his knee to say "Don't give me the glory for this. I will give the glory to God, who gives me the ability."
Like you wouldn't go outside shirtless! Hypocrite!
This ad isn't about religion or money. It's about imagination. For centuries it hasn't been about what you see, but, what you don't see. In this case, it's what you don't see that's nice to think about. One of the best ads Jockey has ever done.
Tebow sold himself as a devoted Christian...this ad is suggestive, that's selling "sex". He should have kept a shirt on if he wanted to "walk on water".
Suggestive? So you should be arrested for mowing your lawn without wearing a shirt? Too bad you've nothing to wear over your anti-Christian bigotry. 'cuz it's not pretty.
Tim Tebow has a bigger job that being a quarterback. He is to take up his cross and be a messanger- a beacon of light for the news of Jesus Christ and all he stands for. It does not matter if you are angrey, disappointed, elated, proud or at peace with what he has done. In all he has done, Tim has gotten you talking about Jesus. Jesus who will one day speak to you about your conversations, thoughts, job and crosses you either carried or left on the side of the road. Jockey-I am picking up my wallet, heading to a store and buying my husband, my son and my 5 nephews your product. I don't care what your intentions were in choosing Mr. Tebow, but willing or not, you are reading the Kingdom. Don't hate Tim because he is beautiful, because he loves you like a brother. Even you haters, God Bless you all.
If you are a deep thinker, you would figure out the bible and jesus is the devil in disguise...the trickery you are afraid of has happened...not going to happen.

Fantastic place really enjoyed our stay
The lodge was quite basic but comfortable and had everything you needed. The site was beautiful and quiet with everything on your doorstep! We would stay again because it was the ideal base to explore the area at a good price!
Great for us with two families in 4 bed cabin. Toddlers had great fun on bikes and scooters outside and enjoyed indoor play facilities and pool. We were fortunate to only see two other families during our stay so it was very quiet. Might not be the same in school holidays ...
Disgusting, Disappointing and Extremely Misleading:
First impression very disappointing and the experience just got worse. Not much of a forest just a very small area of trees that is surrounded by roads, a prominent main road, big yellow street lights and heavy traffic noise. Sherwood Castle Holiday Forest? - No sign of a castle, hardly a forest therefore extremely poor and misleading advertising. Pool is small, looks like a bath, the lake looks like a pond and all activities are equally misleading and disappointing. Cabin dirty and bathroom door is carved with claw prints and scratched badly on the inside, must have had a dog locked in there. I did not feel comfortable in the bed and linen and shower standards are poor. When we plugged the toaster in it fused the electrics. If that's not all bad enough, the staff are the most unwelcoming, unhelpful, miserable, and frankly rude bunch we have ever encountered. Man who drives around in a truck to read your electric meter Etc. cannot raise a smile even to the children who said Hi when he came to the cabin. The reception, pool, tennis, games, other activities, shop!? Etc. are all located together, indoors in a small, square area and have to be paid for as extras. It is hard to describe how rude the lady in here and the other staff just cannot be bothered to be polite. Paid for two nights Friday & Saturday - Arrived Friday evening and had to be out of cabin before 10am Sunday morning and not aloud to use any facilities at all including even a walk around the few trees after 12pm. Terrible!
There was no spa as stated! The pool is smaller than looks in picture! But an amazing location and cabin was perfect! It made the end of my 30th week special and most definitely be coming back.
We didnt do activities. Second visit to sherwood castle, will visit again.
The location was lovely, very close to lots of things to do. Only stayed for weekend but could of quite easily found enough to do for a week.
I have been visiting Sherwood Castle for 8 years now, I come up from London with my dogs for the excellent walks . I have always had a great time and will keep coming .Its true the cabins are very basic but they have everything I need and they have recently put nice decking and seating on the cabins which was really needed .It is a good honest no thrills break and it looks like there is plenty to keep the kids amused . I have been up twice this month for a long weekend , drank a good few beers whilst cooking on my BBQ and i'm looking forward to coming up again later in the year.
The areas for the children could have been cleaned and modified for use.
Enjoyable stay. Did not partake in any activities, as we only needed a base for visiting relatives. Clean and comfortable. Bit chilly under the trees, but electric heaters worked well.
The location is absolutely fantastic! We loved the setting and the layout of the lodges. There was a big group of us and it was fantastic that we would comfortably fit into the lodges. Socialising was very easy!
My daughter also had her bike and LOVED cycling around with no worry for us about her safety. We felt very at ease.
The biggest let down was the cleanliness (or lack of) of the lodge and how dated it was. I understand it is a wooden lodge but our dishes weren't clean, the floor was dirty throughout too. I felt we paid a lot of money for what it was. We will not be returning to Sherwood Castle for the price we paid - far too much for lodges that are tired and in need of attention.
We brought a dog and it was great. That cabin was good and facilities were good. Our shower was broken and didn't get fixed which was annoying the staff on the desk we're helpful. It would have been nice to use another cabin but were told we couldn't. This is the second time we have been and we would defiantly return.
We had a very enjoyable stay at Sherwood Castle during our midweek break. The cabin was equipped with everything we needed and was situated in a quiet spot in the woods. We found the site to be in a perfect place for visiting various National Trust properties, forest parks and other tourist attractions, but there was plenty to do without going out in the car. There's the lovely Rufford Abbey Country Park to enjoy just a short walk from the Sherwood Castle entrance. Tesco and Asda supermarkets were only a few minutes drive away if you wanted to truly self cater but there are lots of eateries in the area so, you don't have to. Would definitely return to the park and hope to do so soon.
Had an amazing time here lodge was beautiful and clean and in a perfect spot. The 2 ladies on the desk wish i could remember there name made us feel so welcome straight away even guided us to the place twice when we got lost. Thankyou for an amazing holiday we will be back next year this time with the kids
Nothing to entertain you on site after 5pm or 6pm would be nice to have a club took the dog for a walk first night took 20 mins at most very disapointing but plenty of nice walksjust of the site. Looked for the crazy golf but when we found it, it was overgrownfull of holes and falling to bits they should pay you to play it. Did not try the activities but from what we saw everything was £10per hour seemed expensive thelog cabins are very well equipped and clean when you leave you had to strip the beds for them end and clean the floor etcwe got the impression we where cleaning for the next guest and a charge might be incurred if not clean

Had a great stay. Apartment was lovely and clean. The bed was so comfortable. The girl at reception was so nice. Would definitely stay again if I was in Cork so centrally located. Thanks again :)
The location was brilliant. Tucked away down a small lane behind the south river, easy walking distance to the centre and about 10 minutes walk to the bus station and a few more past that to the train station. The tourist office (and several tours and local buses) are within 2 minutes walk.
The host was very welcoming, the staff also were very accommodating. They looked out for us, made sure we had what we needed and were flexible too.
The apartment was very modern, and well equipped. Nice sofas, tv with cable, kitchen with every appliance and utensil you'd need for preparing and storing food. The dining table was very good too. Also the complimentary coffees/biscuits/ hand soap and toilet roll in the bathroom.
The bathroom was nice and clean and perfectly functional. We had a problem with the water heater which liam and another lad tried to resolve. it was an old economy system that didn't come on well for us in the morning but after a short time on 'boost' it gave an adequate hot shower. The whole bathroom was very clean and actually quite spacious. Plenty of towels were provided too.
The bedroom was very good. Lots of wardrobe space, bedside cabinets and of course beds. Very nice. The beds we had weren't good for sensitive backs but that'll probably be resolved soon as the only problem with them was the springs could be felt on each mattress in the apartment. For people with no back problems it is really comfortable though. The quilts and pillows were great and the beds themselves were structurally spot on.
Nothing was worn, run down or inadequate other than the water heater and the mattresses which I'm sure either won't affect you or will be resolved soon!
We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anybody that asks us.
Massive apartment, nice and clean, great location- short stroll to the city centre. Staff were very welcoming and kind. Thank you!
Het appartement is centraal gelegen bij het centrum van Cork. Het is ruim met een ruime slaapkamer met 2 bedden gescheiden door kastenwand. De matrassen waren echter slecht en zonder molton, we voelden de ijzeren spiralen en 1 bed is meer een twijfelaar dan 2-persoons. De douche werkt met een timer. Maar dit werd ons niet uitgelegd bij aankomst waardoor we koud water hadden. De receptioniste bleek nieuw, kende de airbnb app niet en dacht dat we nog niet betaald hadden. Hier werd wel excuses voor aangeboden. De tuin/patio is niet alleen voor dit appartement zoals in de advertentie lijkt, maar voor alle appartementen in het complex. Het appartement en zeker dd badkamer, heeft weinig sfeer. Maar voor 4 personen in het centrum is het - los van de bedden - ok genoeg. Zeker sls je wilt koken. Voor 2 personen kun je qua prijs beter krijgen.
Good location, friendly front desk staff, very clean and safe. If you want a basic apartment this is very suitable. Pictures are exactly what you will find. I would stay again. Thank you
The apartment was nice, clean and tidy and specially well located, within walking distance from Cork center. However, we rented it as a full house and it was not. It is a building with different apartments with different rooms where you share the kitchen and bathrooms. When we get there, we were told that there was a mistake and the full house was not available, so we had to go to one of these rooms, with shared bathroom (and the staff offered a discount of 20%). That said, the room was good and I would recommend it (as long as you don't look for a full house but a hostel)
The place is large, clean and very convenient because it's only 5 minutes walk from one of the main streets of the centre of Cork. We stayed only one night, should we go to Cork again we would stay there undoubtedly.

1872 PR64 Deep Cameo Ten Dollar1872 $10 PR64 Deep Cameo PCGS. Ex: J.F. Bell. Plate coin in the Breen Proof Encyclopedia. This supremely preserved two-toned specimen combines dramatic eye appeal with irrefutable rarity. Struck with the pinpoint sharpness expected of a proof, the sparkling yellow-gold surfaces were obviously carefully preserved by generations of collectors, in spite of financial panics, world wars, and even a great depression. Future identification of this particular representative is made easy

by a nearly straight lint mark to the left of Liberty's chin and a curlicue lintmark on the nose. Of course, these minor disturbances have no effect on the coin's technical merits and are mentioned primarily for reasons of pedigree.
In determining the importance of the proof 1872 ten dollar, the normal demand associated with a particular date and denomination is compounded due to the extreme rarity of business strikes, a coin that is at least as challenging as its paltry mintage of 1,620 pieces would suggest. Only a handful of Mint State pieces have been certified by both leading grading services combined, one of the
finest of which we had the privilege of selling twice, an MS62 PCGS from the Floyd Starr Collection tracing back to legendary dealer Henry Chapman. Since no Choice to Gem examples were available, even a century ago, major early collections (most notably Garrett and Eliasberg) concentrated on the acquisition of high-quality proofs.
In the recent write-up for the most recent sale of this coin, Q. David Bowers explained the background of this piece's pedigree:
"If you are a devotee of numismatic literature, then you know details of the pedigree. If not, H.R. Lee was the name given to our sale of duplicate coins consigned by Louis E. Eliasberg, Sr. when he was consolidating his collection in 1947. At that time he had extra examples, including in the choice and gem categories, of many rarities. The buyer in the sale was Jacob Shapiro, a Chicago financier, who used a bell as the symbol of his finance company, and adopted it as a pseudonym in numismatic circles, otherwise known as Shapiro to his friends. His son, David Shapiro, developed an interest in numismatics, and years later was president of the Professional Numismatists Guild. Jake Bell was very prominent in numismatic circles in the 1940s and 1950s ... ."
Ex: Possibly the coin in lot 1450 of the William Cutler Atwater Collection (B. Max Mehl, 6/1946), not plated but described as "A very light, hardly noticeable, irregular hair-line in the left obverse field. It appears as though it is a die defect, as there are no other imperfections of any kind on the coin. Wire edge."; H.R. Lee Collection ( Stack's, 10/1947), lot 1527; Jacob Shapiro (also known as J.F. Bell); Memorable Collection (Numismatic Gallery, 3/1948), lot 571; J.F. Bell Collection, Part II (RARCOA, 4/1963), lot 384; Charles Jay Collection (Stack's, 10/1967), lot 320; George F.
