NFL Rumors – Jacksonville Jaguars Should Sign Tim Tebow

49ers vs Seahawks – Richard Sherman Won’t Let Jim Harbaugh Lose Quietly
But after losing 29-3, the second consecutive 20+ loss by the 49ers on their visit to Seattle, there wasn’t much Harbaugh could say without looking bad.

Real Madrid – Iker Casillas Won’t Stay With Champions League Football Alone
Rotating goalkeeper on a regular basis is not a proven way to win titles; in fact, it’s quite the opposite. Iker Casillas might be getting out of the freezer and will enjoy some playing time in the Champions League, but Diego Lopez is still the number one keeper for Real Madrid, and playing six times in three months won’t be what makes Casillas forget about wanting to leave.
