Titans Years Claim Target With Falcons

A trade association editor at an area publishing company, the giddy 25-year- old spends much of her free time primping, preening and planning for an upcoming April wedding. But while she admits to not knowing a zone blitz from a Coach purse, into even her life a little Tebow must fall.

 

As emphasis, in a cubicle stacked with photos, bridal books and workflow calendars, she motioned toward two desktop screen savers - one showing a helmeted Tebow's bulging left arm in mid-throw, and another with the buff 24- year-old shirtless and smiling after a workout.

 

Though it was worn this year by anonymous freshman cornerback Loucheiz Purifoy, the blue-and-orange No. 15 made famous over Tebow's four Florida seasons remains a hot ticket in myriad sports shops and department stores across Gainesville, not to mention en masse in the Swamp on game days.

 

Outside the stadium, just an arm's length from fellow Gator legends Steve Spurrier and Danny Wuerffel, the bronze statue of Tebow unveiled last spring draws an overwhelming majority of pre-game photography traffic from fans - both home and visiting.

 

And while some outsiders cringe at the devotion, to him it's all good.

 

"It's awesome how big the phenomenon has become. To me, he represents everything you want in a leader - someone you want to root for, not criticize," the 2004 graduate said. "He is part of the Gator Nation and the people who live in Gainesville. He is like family to all of us.

 

Even Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley, who saw Tebow's mastery first- hand during the Gators' glory years, concedes the task this weekend is a particularly tough one.

 

"They let him play how he plays," Foley said. "Throwing the ball on first down, things like that. That's what he did when he was here. You didn't see that with him before (in Denver). It works."

 

Of course, the true believers will point out the Steelers were nine-point picks last week.

FOOTBALL BETTING : Cassel Signs Contract

Kansas City, MO - Kansas City has not officially named Matt Cassel its starting quarterback, but there can be no doubt now.

NFL Betting
After praising his leadership and work ethic through spring workouts, the Chiefs announced Tuesday they had signed the 27-year-old Cassel to a multiyear contract. Terms were not disclosed, but he will almost certainly be one of the highest-paid members of the team.
"We are excited to be able to reach a long-term agreement for Matt Cassel to be a Kansas City Chief for many years to come," owner and board chairman Clark Hunt said in a statement. "His proven leadership on and off the field will be a tremendous asset to the organization."
Patriots made him their franchise player, meaning his salary for this season will be about $15 million.
New head coach Todd Haley, taking over for Herm Edwards after a 2-14 season, refused to name a starter at any position during offseason workouts. But it was obvious to everyone the team belonged to Cassel.
"I go out there each and every day with that focus that I'm the starter," Cassel said during a June minicamp. "Competition brings out the best in everybody."
The signing will come as welcome news to Cassel's new coaches and teammates. Amiable and hardworking, online football betting he appeared to win over everyone at minicamp.
"I think he's got some unique leadership qualities. I think his teammates like him and have respect for him. I think he's doing a pretty good job on the field, too," Haley said last month. "He's doing everything that I'm asking him, that our coaches are asking him to do. I don't have one single complaint how he's carrying himself."
After one workout, wide receiver Devard Darling declared Cassel "a breath of fresh air."
"He has a lot of swagger, a lot of confidence. It's good for us," said Darling. "We trust in him that he's going to go out there and lead us all the way."
nse to accommodate his specific abilities.
Trapped on the bench behind Heisman winners Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart at USC and then unable to unseat Super Bowl MVP Brady at New England, Cassel seemed destined to be a backup all his life. As Brady was helped off the field last September, Cassel seized the opportunity he'd been waiting for since high school.
In his only sustained action since his teens, he hit 349 of 555 passes for 3,949 yards at New England. He had 23 touchdown passes and 13 interceptions as the Patriots, who had gone unbeaten through the regular season the year before, finished 11-5 and out of the playoffs.
Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli, who had been Bill Belichick's assistant in New England, engineered the trade after the Patriots became convinced that Brady would recover fully from his knee operation.
"Since Matt arrived in Kansas City, he has embraced the team and the community," Pioli said. "His work ethic, his ability and competitive presence is what we expect from our players."
