Before we see Tim Tebow on a baseball diamond, lets assume that any team signing Tebow would be doing it as a marketing play. He would, without a doubt, be the biggest name in minor league baseball since one Michael Jordan was barnstorming with the White Soxs Double-A affiliate, the Birmingham Barons. With that in mind, here are the top five teams were guessing would be interested for business reasons alone:1. Miami Marlins: Although they struggle with game attendance, the Marlins love buzz and they arent scared to make it (see: bringing back Barry Bonds as a hitting instructor). Plus, theyre in Florida, which significantly increases Tebows value. If theres money to be made off Tebow here, the Marlins can cash in more than anyone. Why? Because its not obvious that Tebow can get to the big leagues, so the money opportunity comes at the lower levels. They have spring training in Florida, their high-Class A minor league team is in Jupiter and their Double-A team is in Jacksonville, where Tebow played his high school ball.2. Colorado Rockies: Although Peyton Manning came in and led the Broncos to the Super Bowl, theres still plenty of love for Tim Tebow in Colorado, the only place in his NFL career where he made some impact. Also, they have a Class A team in Asheville, North Carolina, smack dab in the heart of SEC country.3. Atlanta Braves: With the focus on the immediate money, we put the Braves in the third position. Why? Its 100 miles between Gainesville, Florida, and Lake Buena Vista, where the Braves have spring training at the Disney complex. As far as the most diverse demographic for a player who draws the Good Morning America viewers, this is it. Keep in mind, spring training is pretty much the only time the team is guaranteed to make money from Tebow.4. San Diego Padres: The Padres are a dark horse here. This is solely based on their decision to draft Johnny Manziel in the 28th round of the 2014. After the Padres did it, they made custom Manziel jerseys and started selling them in their team store despite the fact that they werent allowed to because Manziel never signed. They eventually pulled the jerseys, but it showed that they were interested in the merchandising play. The Padres, like all teams, would make money that didnt have to be shared with the league from selling Tebow jerseys only if they sold them at Petco Park or at official team stores. But with the way things are going in San Diego, that move alone could pay for Tebow and add some much-needed excitement around the team.5. Tampa Bay Rays: After six consecutive winning seasons and a trip to the World Series, the Rays are now headed for their third straight losing campaign. Theres the Florida play, and theres no such thing as a distraction at this point.Vapormax Plus Ale . Louis Rams wide receiver Stedman Bailey last Sunday. The fine is the fourth this season for Goldson. He was fined $30,000 for a hit on the New York Jets Jeff Cumberland in Week 1. Vapormax Plus Ale . The native of Mont-Tremblant, Que., captured a World Cup downhill event Saturday, his second this year and fifth career victory on the circuit. http://www.vapormaxsuomi.com/ . Just as Montreal was settling into the first full working week of a new year, the Impact announced the appointment of their new head coach. Vapormax 2020 .35 million, one-year contract that avoided salary arbitration. Plouffe batted .254 with 14 home runs and 52 RBIs in 477 at-bats last season, his second as a regular in the lineup. Vapormax 97 SuomiCOLUMBIA, S.C. -- Georgias Kirby Smart and South Carolinas Will Muschamp got an extra day to prep for this weeks game because of Hurricane Matthew -- and both needed as much time as possible to turn around their teams current slides.The Bulldogs (3-2, 1-2 Southeastern Conference) have lost two straight after their 3-0 start while the Gamecocks (2-3, 1-3) have also lost their past two conference games heading into Sundays game, delayed from Saturday night because of Matthew.Smart and Muschamp were both safeties with Georgia in 1994, the Bulldogs coach a redshirt freshman and South Carolinas coach a senior. Muschamp remembers how his father, Smarts father and the dad of Georgia quarterback -- and now Colorado State coach -- Mike Bobo would sit together at Georgia games that season.The two also coached defense at Valdosta State and LSU.Did they ever discuss a matchup like this back then?We were worried about stopping somebody, Muschamp joked. We worked together on the defensive side of the ball. We were just trying to get off the field on third down.Those are still the challenges each faces this week. The Bulldogs were pounded at Ole Miss, 45-14, two weeks ago, then were stunned on Tennessees successful Hail Mary play for a 34-31 loss after taking the lead moments earlier.The Gamecocks have struggled offensively this season, dead last in SEC yards and points, and lost to Kentucky and Texas A&M despite allowing a combined 41 points in the defeats.For Smart, facing Muschamp is just a part of the business the friends have adjusted to through the years and their various stops.Its never an extra motivation, because thats not really what its about. Its about our players and their players, Smart said. Its business-like for us.---Things to watch when Georgia faces South Carolina on Sunday:MATTHEWS EFFECT: The major storm that churned up the Eastern Seaboard will alter the game with more than just a delayed start. Expect a smaller than normal crowd as fans unaccustomed to Sunday starts -- or dealing with residential damage from Matthew -- pass on the game.dddddddddddd Also, the 100 to 200 state troopers normally assigned for protection and traffic control wont be on hand, instead deployed to more essential areas to help those affected by the storm.CHUBBS BACK: Georgia tailback Nick Chubb is expected back healthy to face the Gamecocks. He missed the Ole Miss game and ran just one time last week because of a left ankle sprain. But Smart said Chubb, sixth in the SEC with 425 yards, has worked well and is ready to go.YOUNG QBS: There should be a lot of youth at the position with Georgias Jacob Eason and South Carolinas Brandon McIlwain. Both were expected to take control of the offense and both have gone through some growing pains this season. Eason may have taken a huge step forward when he led the Bulldogs on a go-ahead drive, taking the lead with a 47-yard TD pass to Riley Ridley with 10 seconds left that shouldve beaten Tennessee. McIlwain has struggled moving the Gamecocks and has gone three games without a TD pass.RECEIVER HELP: South Carolina should get some help offensively when injured receivers Deebo Samuel and Bryan Edwards return to face Georgia. Neither played last week in the Texas A&M loss as the Gamecocks leading receiver was former Florida State baseball player Hayden Hurst, a tight end.OFFER TO MOVE: Georgia AD Greg McGarity said the school offered to let the game take place at Sanford Stadium if South Carolina could not host because of the storm. South Carolina officials, though, got approval from the SEC to delay the game until Sunday. The Gamecocks are off next weekend while the Bulldogs play at home Oct. 15 against Vanderbilt.---APs college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
