Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back Denard Robinson's is odder than most: He doesn’t tie his shoelaces.

Tim Tebow to the New England Patriots: How Excited Should We Be? I'll be honest, I didn't expect Tim Tebow to be playing football this fall. Not in the NFL anyway. Word on the street in the past few months was that arena football may be his only option.
