Tebow Time is over in New York — before it ever got started. Tim Tebow was waived by the Jets on Monday, the end of an unsuccessful one-season experiment in New York.

If New Year’s Eve is the Strip’s biggest annual event, Super Bowl weekend runs a close second. But when the New York Giants and New England Patriots face off next weekend, don’t expect to find any Super Bowl parties on the Strip. Nada. Not one.
