5 Tebow-Like Manias Over The Past 25 Years
What’s left to say about Tebow Mania that hasn’t already been said? Despite the fact that 4 quarterbacks are currently on pace to break Dan Marino’s single season passing record, and the Green Bay Packers are knocking on the door to perfection, Tim Tebow remains the most compelling story of the 2011 football season.

20 Women Tebow Should Tebown
Is Lindsey Vonn getting Tebowned? That’s the rumor circulating online after she was spotted in the Tebow family box at the Broncos game. We can’t stop squabbling over this guy’s sex life, or lack thereof. Is it even remotely possible that an NFL QB in the 21st Century can still be a virgin at 24? Is it possible he “plays for the other team”? We all know women love a good challenge – well, here’s the Mt. Kilimanjaro of men, ladies. Who has a legit shot at swiping Tim’s v-card? Check out our top picks after the jump.

22 Tebow-tivational Posters for Demotivational Thursday [PHOTOS]
Tim Tebow is officially Hansel – he’s “so hot right now”. But unlike Hansel, he could be the most polarizing figure in the sports history. It’s hard to tell at this point if he’ll pan out or blow away like dust in the wind, but before we all get Tim Tebow-verload, we thought we’d dedicate this week’s Demotivational Thursday to Jesus Jr. On a side note, you guys have no idea how hard it is to type while Tebowing.

Does Speed Kill? A Look at Today’s Top 10 Fastest NFL WRs
December 1st’s a day that most NFC East fans could do without because it’s DeSean Jackson’s birthday. Love him or loathe him, it’s impossible to deny his incredible speed – but do his legs make him a dominant offensive threat? Haters will say that he has brick hands (@NFLFantasy “DeSean Jackson is dropping TD passes like it’s his job. Except it’s not.”), while fans of “God’s Gif” will say that he simply can’t be covered. So, we decided to name the fastest 10 WRs in the NFL then debate whether or not their foot speed makes them a legitimate star.

12 Cities The Jags Should Move To Instead of L.A. [POLL]
Jags owner Wayne Weaver not only fired Jack del Rio but he also sold the franchise to Illinois businessman Shahid Khan. For years, rumors have spread that the team would relocate to Los Angeles, which has been supported by the NFL due to size of the market. Let me be one of the many to say, “Hell no”. LA’s had their chance TWICE with the Rams and Raiders and proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that they just don’t like pro football. If Green Bay’s proved anything it’s that you don’t need a monster market to support a squad. So, having said that, check out our list of the 12 other cities that a deserve a nice long look from Mr. Khan and the NFL after the jump.

Who Ya Got: Cam Newton or Tim Tebow? [POLL]
The majority of pro football pundits don’t believe in Tim Tebow, but after pulling out another big win in OT against the division rival Chargers, it’s hard to deny Jesus Jr’s got “it”. His passing numbers are way less than stellar but it’s his ability to run with the ball that keeps the Mile High guys in the W column. On the flip side of the coin, you have Cam Newton, who’s putting up ridiculous record-breaking numbers for a rookie QB but only has a 3-8 record to show for it. So, who would you rather have at QB – Tim or Cam? Check out each player’s highlights then vote in our poll after the jump pass.

12 Funny Photos & Animated Gifs of Mark Sanchez [PLUS SOME FUN FACTS]
November 11th is Mark Sanchez’s birthday. On this day, the Jets signal caller turns 25. Mark’s acquired a number of nicknames over the years – Sanchize, The Dirty, and most recently Flinchez for his embarrassing display against the Bills in Week 9. Being the top gun in New York is no walk in the park and Sanchez has handled most of the criticism and skepticism fairly well. From the backlash over his homoerotic photos in GQ to eating a hot dog during a game to banging a 17-year-old, it seems Mark’s been a marked man. Through it all, though, he’s kept winning ball games – none of which were pretty but a W’s a W. As long as he keeps avoiding Ls, he’ll keep getting T&A even after chicks see our birthday gift to him – funny pics and gifs of #6. Check ‘em out after the jump.

Battle of the Americas Cheerleader Showdown: Mexico Vs. USA [PHOTOS]
“The Last of the Meheecans” episode of “South Park” poked fun at the border wars and illegal immigration with Cartman manning the watchtower while Butters struggled to get back to the U.S. from Mexico. The gist of the show was Mexicans no longer want to leave their homeland for “The Land of Opportunity” because, well, it kinda sucks now. While Mexico is a great Spring Break destination for college students and a top getaway / hideaway spot for criminals, you won’t find too many gringos looking to go south of the border unless it’s for a chalupa from Taco Bell. However, after seeing some of the cheerleaders in our gallery after the jump, you might reconsider. So, while South Park thinks America’s lost it, we put the question to you: Who’s hotter? Mexico’s cheerleaders or the United States? Check out the pics then vote in our poll at the bottom.

The 28 Most Notable Lambda Chis For The Frat’s 102nd Anniversary
On November 2nd, 1909 Lambda Chi Alpha was founded at Boston University. Yesterday, we showed you the most notable SigEps, so we thought it’d be only fair to showcase some of the more noteworthy Lambdas. They’re one of the largest fraternities in North America, having initiated more than 280,000 members and held chapters at more than 300 universities. We didn’t have Lambdas at Hopkins but we did have the pledge class Lambda, whom we dubbed “Lame-da” because they refused to do ANYTHING we told them. They just chanted, “Or What?!” over and over. Actually, that’s kinda bad-ass. Check out the most notable Lambdas in our slideshow after the jump.
