Heading to one of the world’s busiest airports. With everyone arriving at the same time. Athletes arrived just after 5 a.m. local time.

Oh man, they took me in the second round and now this. (AP Photo/Phelan M. Ebenhack) Last season, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ place kickers converted on just 72.5 percent of their field goal attempts and missed three extra points in the first year of the NFL’s move to a 32-yard PAT.

It's a good thing Tim Tebow has decided to move on to a baseball career, because apparently, he had no future in football.

The former NFL wide receiver says that Tebow is the worst pro quarterback that he's ever seen, which is saying a lot coming from Anderson, because the receiver played with the likes of Rex Grossman, John Beck, Matt Schaub, T.J.
