mark sanchez and tim tebow aren't the only new york jets that current nfl players think are overrated. in a recent poll conducted by the sporting news, nfl players overwhelmingly chose ryan as the most overrated coach in the league. he received 35 of 103 votes cast. his closest competition, patriots coach bill belichick got half as many with 16. in a similar poll regarding overrated players, tebow and sanchez came in at 1-2 respectively. at his press conference yesterday coach ryan addressed his new distinction. >> my first thought was, i looked and i saw who was second. i thought, i finally beat belichick. i knew it would take time, but i finally got him. yeah, man. golly, like it hasn't been a tough enough year. the overrated thing, it is what it is. i just want to be, at the end of the year, we'll see who is overrated. >> ryan also came in third behind bucks coach as who players would least like to play for. the jets head to seattle to play the seahawks. >>> rookie quarterback andrew luck became the latest member of the indianapolis colts to shave higgs head in support of head coach chuck pagano who is undergoing treatment for leukemia. this picture was tweeted yester

ryan and try to carry wisconsin, as well. we also have news in the senate, as well, it turns out tim kaine, former governor of virginia, has defeated another former governor, former senator george allen, 51%-49%. governor allen conceded and democrats are up now in the senate. >> yeah, george, this night started out as the question being would republicans regain control of the u.s. senate? that's what this has been about from the beginning. this was probably their best opportunity to do this. with 23 democratic targets, now the big question, will democrats actually gain seats? right now democrats are up two seats. now there are two seats we are watching -- two races we're watching, north dakota and montana where republicans could pick up seats, but it's looking like democrats have a chance of either breaking even or actually gaining a senate seat. >> when you talk about the gains where are you putting angus king, the independent from maine. >> i am putting angus king, self-described independent firmly in the democratic camp. he will almost certainly caucus with democrats in the senate. that's why democrats kind of below the surface

ryan? >> the window for using tim tebow is closing rapidly because if tim tebow would come in at some pointver last year when he took that team from 1-5 to the playoffs, the question is why don't you do it sooner? if you bring tebow in, there won't be time to turn it around. they should have done it for yesterday's game. and now they'll continue to dig in and say we're sticking with sanchez. >> of course, the worst thing is for rex ryan is that he lets him in after being this stubborn, and he's proven wrong. >> so to save face, they won't put tebow in despite the fact he might give them a better chance to win? >> you get to a point where if you go with tebow and you miss the playoffs by a game or two, but tebow's done very well, then all the criticism's going to be, why did you wait so long to do it? >> just explain to me why tim tebow is on this team if he's not going to actually get to play. >> he was perfect yesterday. he was 3 for 3 for 8 yards. >> i just don't understand what the deal is. >> they wanted him, but they have no idea how to use him. he's not a guy you can put in. you've go

tim, what's your sense? >> i think the republican party has a split and one of the interesting ways you can follow it has to do with what -- john boehner versus paul ryan. boehner is pushing for conference shame, republican congresswoman rogers while ryan is pushing tom price who used to run the conservative caucus in the house. if most of the caucus is getting behind them then it's a sign they'll dig in their heels. if they're going with boehner, it's a sign they'll deal. >> i want to bring in a democrat on both the armed services committee and select committee on intelligence and the fiscal cliff if i might. do you think the republicans will come to play? >> i believe that they will. it's my hope that everyone has gotten the message loud and clear that the american people expect us to compromise, democrats and republicans coming together to solve the fiscal cliff issue but in a balanced way and that is certainly what president obama has campaigned on protecting a strong middle class, allowing the tax cuts to expire above $250,000, but we can't be afraid to compromise but we can do that without compromising our principles. >> is part of this deal-maki
