FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- One day of practice wasnt enough for Patriots coach Bill Belichick to share his thoughts on new backup quarterback Tim Tebow. Two days? Not a lot to go on there, either, as Tebow spent much of Wednesdays session watching Tom Brady and Ryan Mallett run drills while he tried to absorb the new system he was thrust into when he signed with New England this week. "Were not going to get into a minute-by-minute evaluation of a player," Belichick said. "I dont think thats the way to go, especially at this time of year." Robert Kraft wasnt as reluctant to size up Tebows much maligned throwing motion after the second day of the three-day minicamp. "Hes a lot better than I am," the Patriots 72-year-old owner said, his grin growing as he spoke. And, at least in Krafts mind, probably better than hes given credit for. Kraft had strolled onto the field late in Tebows first practice with the Patriots on Tuesday. The high-profile player discarded by the Denver Broncos and New York Jets had rolled out to throw short passes while on the run and dropped back to heave long passes into the end zone. "I was just out there for a short period, but to me, he looked pretty good," Kraft said. "Its fun having him here. I think that Tom Brady throws pretty well and I also think Ryan Mallett does the same. So its nice to have three quarterbacks who can throw very well." After Tebow practiced for the second time, Brady wasnt as eager to judge him. "To get to this point, you obviously have to be talented," Brady said. "So I have a lot of respect for everyone that plays and, certainly, (for) what Ive seen him do in the past." For the second straight day, Tebow mostly watched as Brady and Mallett took turns running 7-on-7 drills. Late in the session, Tebow played in 11-on-11 situations and was hit-or-miss while running plays from his new playbook. After each one, hed consult with assistant coach Brian Daboll, who referred to paper in his hand and instructed Tebow on what to do. Tebow threw an accurate, low pass that wide receiver Chaz Schilens, in for a tryout, caught while hitting the ground. Schilens ran back toward the huddle and slapped hands with Tebow, who at least had something familiar in his new situation. He and Schilens were roommates last summer at the Jets training camp. But a few plays later, Tebow threw an inaccurate pass that landed at the feet of a defender, who booted it back toward the line of scrimmage. Hell get another chance at Thursdays final day of the three-day minicamp. Training camp wont start until late July. "I think everybody out there is pretty much in the same boat, just trying to get better day by day," Belichick said. "Some guys are starting at different points. Hes obviously starting at a point different than where other players were. "Theyre all moving along." Kraft praised Tebow for his competitiveness, hard work and spirituality. He called him a "winner" with a great attitude. That, however, may not be enough as he tries to secure a regular-season roster spot. "Having him as part of our franchise is great, but he has to compete just like anyone else," Kraft said. "Hes just one of 90 people (in camp) right now, so I wonder if we havent talked enough about him. But if you want to keep talking about him, we can do that." And he did. He said he was in on the discussions to sign Tebow. "Look," Kraft said, "life is about collecting good people around you, who you like to have with you and who want to win. I think he like many of our other players fall in that category." Tebow worked out only at quarterback during the two practices. Brady thought for a moment when asked how he would feel if he had to come off the field if Belichick wanted to use a play designed for Tebow, a good runner. "I have no idea," he said. "Thats a very hypothetical question. So, maybe well deal with it if it happens." Replacing one of the NFLs best quarterbacks with one who couldnt take playing time away from a struggling Mark Sanchez with the Jets last year is highly unlikely. "In my mind, we have the greatest quarterback of all time on our team," Kraft said. "Every time he has the ball in his hand, we have a chance to do something great." Tebow, of course, has accomplished much less than Brady. But he also brings a dimension that Kraft likes. "Hes hard-working. Hes very co-operative. I dont think theres any coach that wouldnt like to have a team full of people like he is, sort of like Brady," Kraft said. "Theyre all business and you cant get enough people like that on your team. "So, were honoured that hes with us." Cheap Titans Jerseys .

Brazilian national coach Luiz Felipe Scolari has confirmed that the veteran goalkeeper is set to join Toronto on loan, saying it will help him be ready for the World Cup. A trashed bathroom. Seized passports. Shifting accounts in TV interviews and social media posts. An encounter with the Brazilian criminal justice system. The saga of American swimmer Ryan Lochte and three teammates during the Rio Olympics has produced a head-spinning series of developments in Brazil and beyond. Here is the latest:---MORE MONEYBrazilian prosecutors made a last-ditch effort Friday to increase the amount of money that American swimmer James Feigen would have to pay before leaving the country. A judge allowed Feigen to fork over $10,800 to a Rio charity after police determined he and his teammates werent robbed but rather vandalized a gas station bathroom early Sunday morning. After paying, Feigens passport was returned. Prosecutors later appealed the decision and proposed upping the fine to about $47,000. The dispute is largely moot. If prosecutors win their appeal, Feigen would only have to pay if he ever wanted to return to Brazil.---GETTING OUT OF RIOFeigen took off Friday night on a flight from the Rio airport to the U.S. The trip home for Gunnar Bentz and Jack Conger was a little more eventful. They boarded a plane Wednesday night to leave Rio, but authorities removed the pair from the jet. Police were not satisfied with the swimmers account of the robbery-that-wasnt incident and wanted more information. Bentz and Conger talked with authorities on Thursday and were whisked through airport security and got on a plane that night. They were greeted back home with yard signs that said Go Jack and Welcome Home.---APOLOGIESSLochte took to Instagram Friday and apologized for not being more careful and candid in how I described the events.dddddddddddd At the same time, he stood by the part of his story about someone pointing a gun at him. Bentz issued his own apology later in the day, saying it was an honor and dream come true to be on the U.S. swimming team. He also stressed he was only a witness and not a suspect to the events. He provided a fuller account of the ordeal and maintained gas station guards had pointed guns at the swimmers.---SECURITY VIDEOVideo reviewed by police confirmed the athletes vandalized parts of the gas station, leading to an encounter with station employees. The video shows one of the swimmers pulling a sign off of a wall and dropping it on the ground. A gas station worker arrives, and other workers inspect the damage. Authorities said the swimmers broke a door, a soap dispenser and a mirror while intoxicated after celebrating the final swimming events of the games.---WHATS NEXTThe International Olympic Committee has established a disciplinary commission to investigate the incident involving Lochte and his teammates. IOC disciplinary commissions have the power to issue sanctions. USA Swimming is expected to convene its executive board to discuss likely punishment, as it did when Michael Phelps was arrested for a second DUI two years ago. In addition, police are still deciding whether to bring charges.
