Immortal polymath Chuck Norris writes a regular blog for Newsbusters, a site built to combat liberal media bias. And as is indicated by his recent three-part series on the 10 reasons he wishes George Washington were still alive, it’s important stuff. Now the morally upstanding, roundhouse-kicking meme All-Star is back with his take on a certain misunderstood football warrior hero:
Tebow is a player who rises to the occasion and delivers big in critical moments.
The NFL draft is on the move -- again.
It was announced this week that after 28 seasons as a fixture in late April, the 2014 draft will be switching to a new date, either beginning May 8 or May 15, the latest date ever for the league's premier player procurement procedure.
If you ask the NFL what was wrong with late April, the league will blame the Easter bunny.

Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher retired today after a superlative 13-year career. There are many things that can be said about the way he approached the game, and how he was a tough, model teammate who played his entire career in Chicago. But they won’t be said here. We’re only concerned with Brian Urlacher the actor—and in that arena, his career wasn’t quite as distinguished.
07:02 AM ET 05.23 | So far, so not good for Rex Ryan and Gang Green. Some defensive formations were not in the playbook, and there were plenty of false starts. But the most aggravating were the turnovers, a point of emphasis for the Jets each of the last two seasons. Mark Sanchez tossed three interceptions today. Geno Smith added another. "Today, obviously, I was not happy about how many times we turned the ball over -- four interceptions and a fumble, I believe," Ryan said. ... "You can do 90 percent really good things. But if you do 10 percent poor things you're going to get beat in this league. And those are the things we have to get better at, protecting the football over anything else. Today was a disappointment as far as that's concerned."
05:52 PM ET 05.22 | Nobody expected Victor Cruz to show up for the Giants' OTA workout on Wednesday. That Hakeem Nicks also didn't show up, however, was a much larger surprise. Nicks, who was in Manhattan just a night earlier, was nowhere to be found at the Giants facility on Wednesday, a concerning absence. Cruz is embroiled in an ongoing contract dispute with the Giants, so few expected him to work with the team. But Giants coach Tom Coughlin had been expecting Nicks to attend. "I don't know," Coughlin said after the session. "He should be here." Coughlin added that Nicks would have likely worked with some "limitations" to protect the knee he injured last season. None of that happened, however, because Nicks was not in attendance.

The San Francisco 49ers lost leading receiver Michael Crabtree to a torn Achilles tendon and would think to be in the market for another receiver.
But head coach Jim Harbaugh says they are set at the position and that includes not bringing back wideout Randy Moss, who spent one season with the team and caught 28 passes for 434 yards and three touchdowns in 2012.

The Panthers hope they have solidified their defensive line of the future with two contract agreements Wednesday. The team signed first-round draft pick Star Lotulelei in the afternoon — according to his agency via Twitter — after coming to an agreement with second-round pick Kawann Short earlier in the day.
Carolina stocked up on defensive tackles with their first two draft picks selecting Lotulelei (Utah) with the 14th overall pick and Short (Purdue) with the 44th pick. Lotulelei and Short became the earliest defensive tackles taken by the Panthers since Kris Jenkins in 2001.
BURKE: Star Lotulelei benefits from great Pro Day, medical clearance
Lotulelei (6-2, 311) is considered to be more of a run-stopper. Short (6-3, 299) had 19.5 sacks at Purdue and is expected to add special teams value having blocked eight kicks in four seasons at Purdue.
Star Lotulelei and the Carolina Panthers have agreed to terms. Congrats Star!—

The San Francisco Bay area got some good news on Tuesday, learning that the city would host the 50th Super Bowl in 2016, but the 49ers got some bad news the same day, finding out wide receiver Michael Crabtree suffered a possible torn Achilles tendon during organized team activities.
The latest, according to a report Wednesday afternoon from Mike Garafolo of USA Today, is that Crabtree will undergo what might end up being season-ending surgery to correct the tendon.
