Petition to Bring Tim Tebow Back to Broncos Gets 3500 Signatures - The online petition, which was started on Change.org two months ago just before Peyton Manning's official retirement, had just less than 3,500 supporters as of early Thursday afternoon.

We dont (sic) need a subpar throwaway from some other team, we need an original Bronco who has the fire, desire, and love of the game to play as a Bronco again!

Never Again: Bookies Make Vow as Leicester Closes in on Title at 5000-1 Odds - Capturing the Loch Ness Monster, US President Barack Obama declaring that the moon walk was fake and Elvis Presley resurrected from the grave had shorter odds this season than Leicester City winning the Premier League title at 5000-1 odds. This is likely the biggest long shot to ever win a major betting event. On Sunday, the Foxes of Leicester City could capture their first Premier League title in their 132-year history.
“We are going to lose 2 million quid when Leicester win it,” Adams said in a phone interview. “As it stands, the biggest price for anyone next year is 1,000-1.”
