Tim Tebow raised some eyebrows by scoring a prime seat to watch the Orlando Magic take on the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA playoffs. The appearance reminded some of O.J. Mayo, who took in a Memphis Grizzlies game thanks to a comped ticket while playing at USC. It seems Tebow and Florida played by the rules, however, as Tebow's mother, Pam, has announced she paid for her son's ticket.

Dang, how come my mom didn't buy me a ticket?

And TT -- get a shave, dude. Shooting for the Abe Lincoln look?

And why is this news?

As much as I dislike the guy because my Vols have been completely unable to stop him on the football field, it seems pretty pointless for folks to try to dig up dirt on him. He's a person of good character, based on everything I've heard. (Grumble, grumble, I might add.)

This just in--- in 2008, Gainesville, FL had a personal crime rate of 160 per 10,000 residents and 155 property crimes per 10,000 residents.
It is not clear at this time whether Tim Tebow has supplied the police with alibis for all the times when these crimes were committed.

It's his new Amish look he's starting.

This is news only because it could be considered a violation of some NCAA rule or bylaw if it was paid for by the University of Florida had his mother not paid for the ticket. How was his mom able to get seats like that? Hmmmmmm, maybe there is something to be investigated after all. Ok, seriously this isn't news.

Of course. Every good Christian knows that magic is an affront in the eyes of God!


Sorry, couldn't resist the obvious joke.

Word has it that if his career doesn't pan out in the pros, Universal Studios already has him tabbed to play Brendan Fraser's grown up son for futur Mummy sequels.

The way you defended against him last year, I can tell your D-coordinator had the same approach.
