N.Y. Jets' Tebow v. Sanchez: Santonio Holmes says they have a winner

Mark Sanchez and Tim Tebow: New York just ain’t big enough for the two of them, according to Santonio Holmes.

The Jets’ wide receiver asserted that having two quarterbacks just doesn’t work in the NFL because it would break a quarterback’s rhythm. Quarterbacks need time to feel the crowd, make a couple of mistakes, and then settle down.

"You don't just change a guy out just because he has a few mistakes early into a game. Coming into this season, we have a lot to expect from Sanchez," said Holmes, according to ESPN.

However, after watching both quarterbacks practice at the “Jets West” passing camp in California, Holmes does think that having the two quarterbacks may work as long as Tebow sticks to his back-up role, reports the NY Daily News. The ex-Bronco has been given a few scripted plays while Sanchez has been given the bulk of the work.

This enforces the Jets' coaching staff's assertions that Sanchez is still the Jets' main quarterback.

Holmes admitted that Tebow was doing well with the team, but said that “Sanchez has done everything that he can do to keep his starting spot. I'm thinking that he's going to be our guy this season…He's going to be our guy that we depended on for the past couple of years and he's going to get the job done this year,” reports The Wall Street Journal.

Now, the Jets' wide receiver has his own demons. After having only 51 receptions and 654 yards, he sat the last game against the Dolphins, according to ESPN NFL. He was benched because of arguing with his teammates in the huddle, the climax of a season-long tension between Sanchez and Holmes.

When speaking about the relationship between the quarterback and receiver, LaDamian Tomlinson said, "It is as bad as I’ve ever been around, honestly. And I’ve been around some locker rooms and quarterback-receiver situations and what-not. But it was as bad as I’ve been around," according to the NY Post.

As an avid supporter of Sanchez now, Holmes has apparently changed his tune.

Children can be conned out of inheritance after multiple marriages

BY CAROL ABAYA NEWJERSEYNEWSROOM.COM THE SANDWICH GENERATION Multiple marriages and blended families can mean children get cheated out of money and assets their parent(s) earned and had before the second or third marriage. At the 2012 senior citizens’ law day conference, Lawrence A. Friedman, Bridgewater elder law attorney, said elders need to protect their children of prior marriages from being disinherited. "Even if your spouse’s current will provides for your children, your spouse may change it after you pass away,” he said. In addition to protecting one's child, an appropriate will can minimize N.J. estate taxes, which kick in if assets are over $675,000. At the conference, Cathyanne Pisciotta from North Brunswick discussed guardianship which could be necessary if various legal documents are not signed. Pisciotta said that if a person does not have a durable power of attorney (for financial affairs) and a living will (for medical decisions), anyone else can seek guardianship of that person. An expensive court proceeding is mandatory. And she said, “If one person seeks guardianship, someone else can challenge the appointment. Another relative may seek to be appointed guardian because he/she wants the money and power.”
