SAN THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, MAY 1, 2013 QUOTE OF THE DAY PAGE 7 ee errors at the Jay- ing errors 12 talent. ry is the committed "He's the strongest human being who's ever played the position. Ever. He is rare. Tebow is the kind of guy who could revolutionize the game. He's the 'wildcat' who can throw. This guy here is 250 pounds of concrete cyanide, man. And he can throw. He throws well enough at any level to play quarterback." espn.com Tim Tebow was the first sophomore to win the Heisman. Q: What pick was Tim Tebow in the NFL draft? TRIVIA OF THE DAY A: 25th to the Denver Broncos. — espn.com THE MORNING BREW Tebow's departure looks permanent John Legend once remixed his "Ordinary People" into "Extra-Ordinary Tebow." "Tebow's state, they do that," but "Tebow's stats, they do stink, but somehow you still lead the show. Extra-oooordinary Tebow. Your powers we can't know. Extra-oooordinary Tebow. Maybe we should take it slow." The song, about the now team less-quarterback Tim Tebow, was released just after Tebow's one-season stint with the Denver Broncos. Legend sings about the public's infatuation with Tebow, his winning, his bad stats, everything. But that's all over now — probably for good. The news of Tebow's release from the New York Jets is a book closing slammed shut. Last chapter written — it's done. If Tebow's career were a book, it would probably say "the end." It's a sad occasion; the sports world lost one of the greatest underdogs in history. So, as I drowned to Legend's soulful piece, I reflected on the leopard that was. pass I renected on the legend that was. Tebow's wobbly spiral pass overshaded all of his achievements as a quarterback. Tebow rescued Denver from the dumps in 2011-2012 as he went 8-5 as the starting quarterback of a team that had a 1-4 start to its season. He led Denver all the way to a wildcard playoff victory against the Pittsburgh steelers before losing to the Patriots in the divisional round of the playoffs. Tebow made it just as far as Peyton Manning did this season. Anti-Tebownites get all up-in-arms over Tebow's success. I'm not trying to say he is a great quarterback. You're right, he throws the ball with the best of the third-stringers — but what's important is that he does care. Skill didn't make Tebow great. The winning and the comebacks did. Obviously everyone takes Manning over Tebow, but Rex Ryan's Jets team was the worst possible second home for the Mile High Messiah. While Manning was rerouting his way to Papa Bear's house and listening to XM 60 outlaw while cruising to an AFC West championship, Tebow was in the dumps of a dumpy organization. But finally, when Ryan decided that five turnovers in one game was too much to tolerate, he didn't go with Tebow, but rather worthless Greg McEldroy. The team lost both remaining games, good — or bad — enough for a 6-10 record. It wasn't like Ryan knew nothing. Flashback to a year earlier and Ryan must have failed to see Tebow's talents right in front of his face when Tebow led Denver in a fourth-quarter comeback against the Jets in November 2011. Ryan and the jets wasted time and money on the Tebow project they never unveiled, and it was at a high cost. To be precise, it cost the jets a fourth-round pick and $1.5 million in salary along with another $2.5 million they had to pay to Denver to satisfy the trade agreement. All that time and money spent to have Tebow throw eight passes and rush 32 times has now led to Tebow being the butt of every mocking CFL and arena football owner desperate to create attention for their team that has less regular season game attendance than the nearest grade school. Even one indoor football quarterback by the name of James McNear (he plays for the Omaha Beef if that indicates a talent level) swelled up with confidence over his owner's offer to Tebow, "I think Tim can learn a lot from me." McNear said in the ESPN report. The treatment of Tebow is vomit-inducing Tebow didn't fall, he was pushed from grace pretty hard. For now every shedding of an eyelash, penny tossed into a fountain and every 11:11 sighting will wish for his return. As John Legend's voice jokes, the piano twinkles off, the curtains close. No. 15 jerseys are hung and the stone rolls over the grave. I call dibs on the "resurrection."

SALT LAKE CITY—A referee for a recreational soccer league is in critical condition in a Salt Lake City hospital after being punched in the face by a teenage player who didn't like a call the man made in a weekend game. Baseball Wichita State 6:30 p.m. Wichita, Kan. The incident happened during a soccer game Saturday at a field at Eisenhower Junior High School in Taylorsville, a Salt Lake City suburb. The referee called a foul on the player and issued him a yellow card, triggering the player to turn and punch him, authorities said. At first, it appeared the referee just had minor injuries from the single blow. When the man was taken to a hospital, however, they discovered serious internal head injuries, Hoyal said. He's been in critical condition since Saturday. "It was almost an instinctive reaction," Hoyal said. There was no buildup to the incident or previous exchange of words between the referee and player, Hoyal said. By the time police arrived at the field, the teenager had left. Authorities investigated the incident over the weekend and arrested the teen Monday. He is in the Salt Lake Valley Juvenile Detention Center. His name isn't being released because he's a minor. The game was part of a "rogue league" unaffiliated with the popular Utah Youth Soccer Association or any city or town recreation department, association CEO Andrew Hiatt said. The association has 50,000 youth players and 15,000 coaches statewide. In the state association, any player or coach who puts a finger on a referee faces immediate suspension. Players and coaches also sign a code of ethics. "To see something like this is not what we are looking for," Hiatt said. "It's horrible. Hopefully we use this as teaching moment to continue to push sportsmanship." KANSANCLASSIFIEDS housing for sale 785-864-4358 announcements Part time help needed in busy doctors office.
