Tim Tebow wants you to know he's in shape and totally ready for an NFL call
You can't knock Tim Tebow's devotion to making it as an NFL quarterback.
Tebow might not be on a roster currently, but he's ready if — and in his mind, when — an NFL team calls. His offseason regimen started with a visit to Tom House, the throwing-mechanics guru who has worked with Tom Brady and other notable quarterbacks on refining their games, and it continued with what appears to be grueling workout with trainer Ian Danney.
"I feel great," Tebow told Phoenix-area TV station KSAZ. "I feel the strongest, healthiest, throwing the best I ever have. I'm just really excited about the improvement."

Check out the video above. Tebow always has been quite the workout warrior, and despite him not taking a snap since the 2012 season or starting a game since 2011, Tebow still appears to be in fantastic shape.
But can he play? For the past few years, the NFL consensus has been no — at least not as a quarterback. The New England Patriots brought him in for training camp last year, but he was cut and has not gotten a whiff of an NFL offer since.
At this point, it would be natural to assume that Tebow's chances of making it back to the league are quite remote. But good luck convincing him of that.
"One of my favorite quotes is, 'I don't know what my future holds, but I know who holds my future.' And in that, it gives you peace to just continue to work, go after what your heart desires and when you do that, you don't have any regrets. I think that's the best way to live life," Tebow said.
Undaunted, Tebow will continue to work and wait for another chance, and it's not unheard of for a player of note to be out of the league for an entire season and make his way back in — Randy Moss did it a few years back with the San Francisco 49ers, and Brandon Lloyd, who didn't play in 2013, is trying to do the same, also with the Niners.
It's different — and more rare, however — for a quarterback to be afforded that same chance, but you never know. A desperate and open-minded team willing to work around Tebow's well-documented throwing limitations could find a way to bring him in and exploit his notable athletic skills and unique blend of talents. Heck, maybe Jim Harbaugh might be exactly the kind of coach Tebow needs.
But Tebow remains well behind, with dozens of NFL hopeful quarterbacks having been marinating in their respective teams' systems for much if not all of the offseason, while Tebow merely has been working out on his own.
He has a job — Tebow has a deal to be an analyst for the SEC Network this fall, but he'll glady give up TV for the NFL if some team comes calling, and there's an "out" clause in his contract that allows him to do so freely.
The problem, in part, has been Tebow's unwillingness to this point to consider a position switch, or even to consider any of the professional leagues outside the NFL, as a way of sticking around as a football player. It will be interesting to see which, if either, comes true first.

Mitch Albom is a columnist for the Detroit Free Press
NEW ORLEANS — The first Super Bowl I covered was in 1985. It featured two quarterbacks who, at the time, were considered stars of the future. Joe Montana was one. Dan Marino was the other. Montana, who eventually would win four Super Bowls, threw one of the softest balls around. Marino, even at that young age, barely could move from the pocket.
Today, I attend my 29th straight Super Bowl. And again, two young quarterbacks are featured. Joe Flacco is one. Colin Kaepernick is the other. Flacco is celebrated for a skill Montana never had: throwing the hardest ball in the game. And Kaepernick's running talent makes Marino look like a tractor. A parked tractor.
Let's be honest. The quarterback position is the most scrutinized job in sports — and it is constantly being reinvented. I think back over the years to one guy after another who represented the next big thing.
Montana was "it" because of short pass decision-making. John Elway was "it" because of movement and arm strength. Brett Favre was "it" because of accuracy under pressure. Ben Roethlisberger was "it" because of big body toughness.
Peyton Manning was "it" because he'd audible the offense like a computer. Michael Vick was "it" because he could run away. Now it's Kaepernick and RG3 and Russell Wilson and Cam Newton, speedsters who can whip the ball and fool defenders from the trendy "pistol" formation.
You'll forgive me if I don't think any of these guys are the last word in quarterbacking.
Because the word keeps changing.
USA TODAY Sports' Robert Klemko and Mike Garafolo break down the quarterbacks in Super Bowl XLVII.
Kaepernick displays do-it-all talent
Tonight the word is "freak," most often used to describe Kaepernick's unusual combination of throwing, running and body strength. Teammates talk about protecting their fingers from his insanely hard passes. They marvel at his 6-foot-4 frame, his weight-room dedication, the way he can take off and leave entire defenses behind.
But, as Barry Sanders reminded me last week, none of this is new. "Players like that have always been around in high school and college," Sanders said. "Quarterbacks who run and pass and do everything. But once they get to the pros, they want to protect you."
He's right. Think of any recent high school superstar and he's likely a do-it-all talent like Kaepernick. The "freak" part comes in that Kaepernick is — so far — still doing it in the pros.
But tonight we will find out a more important detail. How does he handle the moment? Because the only thing that is consistent in Super Bowl-winning quarterbacks is that, when it mattered most, they ran up the hill and planted the flag.
Eli Manning is not the NFL's most consistent passer. But twice now, when his team needed it, he made magic that led to a trophy. Tom Brady doesn't flex his biceps or his calf muscles. But three times, he has commanded his team to championships, directing key drives and managing the clock.
It's no coincidence that four of the past five Super Bowls have been decided on the final drive. Good teams can neutralize each other until something peculiar decides it: moxie, courage, leadership, maybe luck.
At some point tonight, Kaepernick will need all those things. He is making just his 10th start as an NFL quarterback and is playing only his third postseason game. True, this is a kid who popped off the bench in high school and college and had amazing performances. But the Super Bowl is not high school or college. The air gets thin. An overly excited Kaepernick could sail a few passes early, get picked by a tough Baltimore defense, and things could change.
Or not.
Flacco's style is tried and true
On the other hand, there is Flacco. Nowhere near as flashy. Nowhere near as fast. But he hasn't thrown an interception in the past five games, he has eight touchdown passes in the playoffs and, unlike Kaepernick, has a gaggle of game-winning drives on his résumé.
"Dull" is how some have referred to him. And not exactly cutting edge. But his drop-back style is something that always has worked in football and always will — as long as you are accurate. More NFL passers have won a championship with that style than any other.On the other hand, there is Flacco. Nowhere near as flashy. Nowhere near as fast. But he hasn't thrown an interception in the past five games, he has eight touchdown passes in the playoffs and, unlike Kaepernick, has a gaggle of game-winning drives on his résumé.
Maybe, in a few years, the blocking quarterback will be the rage. Or the 6-foot-10 quarterback. Or the jumper. Who knows?
I do know this. Nearly 30 years after I saw my first Super Bowl, all eyes remain on this position. And whoever keeps his head, avoids mistakes and rises to the moment is going to win tonight. Could be Flacco. Could be Kaepernick. Names change. Game remains the same.

LIVE! | Gigantour 2013: Megadeth, Black Label Society, HellYeah, Newsted
by Jonna Ambur
– Senior Photojournalist —
JULY 5, 2013 at MOHEGAN SUN ARENA in UNCASVILLE, CT —
Originating in 2005 as the brainchild of Megadeth's frontman Dave Mustaine, Gigantour is an annual event that draws crowds of all ages. Wanting to put together a tour that combined bands that were positive and high energy, every year he personally chooses the bands that will perform.
2013 is the year that Megadeth is supported by Black Label Society, Device, HellYeah, Newsted and Death Division.
Megadeth is fronted by the legend, Dave Mustaine. The current lineup includes David Ellefson, Shawn Drover and Chris Broderick. Megadeth has been on the metal scene since 1983 and has produced 14 studio albums. The most recent release, Super Collider, debuted at number 6 on the Billboard charts, the highest ranking album since Youthanasia in 1994. Megadeth's history and classic heavy metal sound has led them to 2013 and there is no end in sight.
Black Label Society, featuring guitar virtuoso Zakk Wylde in conjunction with Nick Catanese, John DeServio and Chad Szeliga has 9 studio albums under their belt dating back to 1998. In 2011, BLS released The Song Remains Not The Same. Between the band's musical talents and Zakk's seductive tones, BLS kicks ass every time they perform.
Device was created by vocalist David Draiman in 2012, after his original band, Distubred went into hiatus. The band currently includes Draiman and Geno Lenardo (not involved in this tour) and touring musicians Virus and Will Hunt. Device's first studio album Device, dropped in April of 2013. Their first single, "Vilify," was a hit right out of the gate and has set the stage for a successful future for the band.
HellYeah is Chad Gray, Tom Maxwell, Vinnie Paul, Greg Tribbett and Bob Zilla. Combining such talented metal musicians is a force to be reckoned with. Together since 2006, the band released Band of Brothers in 2012. This is a band that consistently produces music that won't allow your body to remain seated at any of their shows.
Newsted, fronted by Jason Newsted of Metallica fame, was formed in late 2012 and the band is currently, Newsted, Jesus Mendez Jr, Jessie Farnsworth and Mike Mushok. Following their four-song EP released in January 2013, the band's debut album Heavy Metal Music will be released on Aug. 6, 2013. Their first track, "Heroic Dose," can be heard on their website. If the rest of the album follows suit, it's sure to be a powerful chapter in their musical history.
Death Division began in January of 2013 with Jerry Montano (previously with HellYeah). The band is currently Sean De La Tour, Tim Yeung and Rick Di Marco. Newest to the scene, not much was known about the band when they joined the tour. They are currently being managed by Justis Mustaine and are on their way to an awesome career. Anyone who attends Gigantour should get their early. Death Division might be new but they kick serious ass! Their song, "All Hope is Lost" can be heard online.
