CORTLAND, N.Y. -- Fans chanting his name and carrying banners proclaiming his greatness -- or otherwise -- will have to wait a couple of days. As the New York Jets reported to training camp Thursday, Tim Tebow simply was another player. Well, almost. Tebow had to chuckle when asked about the legions of media that follow his every move, even on a rainy afternoon when nothing more is required of him or his teammates than showing up. With perhaps 50 reporters, cameramen and broadcasters on hand at SUNY Cortland, it didnt look much different than one of Tebows postgame gatherings in Denver last season. Surely, the focus is not the same: Tebow now is a backup to Mark Sanchez, as everyone from the head coach to the offensive co-ordinator to Sanchez himself made clear for the, oh, millionth time. Still, it was Tebow who drew the most attention, including a comical episode in which the TV folks had to scramble for position when Tebow lined up elsewhere from where they anticipated. "I really try not to let this affect my life," a laughing Tebow said about the media crush that is likely to continue through the rest of the summer. "I try to live my life and not worry about what I cant control." Tebow then glanced all around him and smiled. "This is like the first day of college." Ah, but this central New York university hasnt seen anything like what could develop over the next few weeks, beginning Saturday when the Jets hold their first public practice. Every move by both quarterbacks will be scrutinized not only by local and national journalists -- one Jets employee asked Thursday when TSPN (all Tebow all the time) goes on the air -- but by the folks who buy tickets. Fans are certain to take up Tebows cause, or Sanchezs. Tebow says he can ignore all that and concentrate on "getting better every day." "Playing football doesnt get old," the third-year quarterback who saved Denvers 2011 season said. How much football he will play is the big question. It figures that during the preseason, when starting QBs dont get on the field for much game action, Tebow will be the Jets main man. But in practices, and certainly when the regular season kicks off against Buffalo on Sept. 9, the Jets expect him to be part-time Tebow behind three-year starter Sanchez. "We clearly have a starting quarterback and thats Mark," coach Rex Ryan reiterated. "I know the history of the league and the saying, When you have two quarterbacks, you dont have any. Tell that to the San Francisco 49ers with Montana and Young. "This is a different situation, with a clear-cut starting QB." Clear cut to some, including those in power with the Jets -- for now. Not so clear to the impassioned fans of the ultra-popular Tebow. Not that Tebow doesnt have a role in the offence being installed by former Dolphins head coach Tony Sparano. At Miami, Sparano revitalized the wildcat, and he believes Tebow fits the QB role in that formation perfectly. Plus, the Jets are toying with using Tebow as the protector on punts because of his size and athletic skills. "I have a very good idea how I want to use him, and the way I want to go about it in the next several weeks," Sparano said. "Well throw the offensive book at him and see what sitcks. Things that look good well continue. Things that dont look good well throw out." What no one wants -- not even Sanchez -- is to have Tebow cede the starting quarterback job without a fight. Ryan cant imagine that happening. "You never want a player who doesnt want to be the guy," Ryan said when asked if he is eager for Tebow to push Sanchez for the No. 1 spot. "Competition is great for everybody. "Tim is going to play here, theres no question about it." Actually, Rex, there are plenty of questions about it, and the Jets will be answering them throughout a preseason that already borders on the absurd. Queries such as: --How much will Tebow play? --At what junctures? --At what positions? --In the regular offence, or only in the wildcat? For his part, a bulked-up Sanchez wisely is concentrating on his responsibilities. He gained 12 pounds of muscle mass and now goes at 230 pounds. He is eager to be the team leader. He was one of the first players to enter the dormitories on Thursday, and the second behind defensive tackle Sione Pouha to speak with the press. Of course, even as Sanchez spoke, several media types with microphones in their hands or video cameras on their shoulders were peering around to see if Tebow was about to make an appearance. Seems like thats how its going to be for most everyone when the Jets take the field. cheap nike nfl jerseys .C. -- B.C. Wholesale nfl jerseys usa .

Sweden was eliminated from Euro 2012 after losing to Ukraine and England in its first two group games, leading some to wonder whether the 30-year-old Ibrahimovic, who has taken breaks from international duty in the past, would return to the team when World Cup qualifying starts. But "Ibra" said he has no plans on quitting just yet. "Ill continue with the national team, absolutely," he said at a news conference. "Im still motivated and I want a lot more. This doesnt mean anything in my mind. It just makes me more motivated." At a news conference Sunday, the AC Milan forward said "Ill continue with the national team, absolutely," adding that "Im still motivated and I want a lot more." Despite transfer rumours, Ibrahimovic said he expects to stay in Milan for the remaining two years of his contract. "I want to get better than I am, and I want to continue to develop," he said. Ibrahimovic was seen as the key for Sweden to make a run at the Euros, but few have blamed him for the teams failure, as defensive mistakes were largely at fault for a 2-1 loss to Ukraine and 3-2 defeat against England. Ibrahimovic gave Sweden the lead against the Ukraiinians, but was held scoreless for the first time in five internationals against England.dddddddddddd "Physically and mentally Ive felt really good," Ibrahimovic said. "But what good is that when you dont win? Id rather win and not play well than to play well and not win." Ibrahimovic also stuck up for coach Erik Hamren, whose tactics in his first major tournament have been questioned. Hamren has tried to transform the Swedish team from a traditional defensive setup to a free-flowing and possession-based attacking team. Thats the way Ibrahimovic wants to play as well, and he said it was important to give Hamren time to develop his ideas. "The way were playing now, weve never played better," he said. "Weve traditionally been known for our defence and not our attack. Now its the other way around." Sweden still has a game against France on Tuesday, when Ibrahimovic said the team will be "playing for our honour." After that, Ibrahimovic said hell go on vacation before starting to focus on next season. And when World Cup qualifying does start, he said the key for Sweden will be to cut out the mistakes that led to the losses here. "We took the lead in both games and then we lost after some mistakes," he said. "Weve conceded five goals in two games, thats never happened before. We have to keep developing." ' ' '
