09:27 AM ET 04.15 | What's the chance to spend one day with Tim Tebow worth? A whopping $100,000 to one unspecified couple in the Florida Keys. The Jets' new (for now) backup quarterback confirmed here yesterday the pair made that bid Friday night at the live auction before his golf tournament benefiting the Tim Tebow Foundation. Officials from Tebow's charity refused to identify the husband and wife except to say they had donated to Tebow before and they plan to have underprivileged children from their area share in the outing. "It's very humbling," Tebow said yesterday after his one-day tournament at the famed TPC Sawgrass Stadium Course.

Say what you want about him as a player, but as a human being he's a mensch.

HA!

Some people just have more money than they know what to do with. But as long as it's going to charity, it's cool.

123 yards per game and a 46.5% completion rating. I assume they'll be talking about golf!

He should take the money and buy a really good GPS unit so he can find the pocket.

That should be a nice Tax write-off. By the way Happy Tax Day- you now have 15 hours and 30 minutes to file.

This is what the upper 1% do with their untaxed income. So they gave $100,000.00 and are going to drag along some underprivileged kids from their area, where does the $100,000.00 go ? Show us an accounting of Tebows charity.

If they have the money why not spend it on something you like. I think this is cool.

I guess leading a weak team into the NL playoffs isn't a big deal in your opinion.

Tebow does more for charity than 99% of NFL players. This man walks the walk while others just talk the talk.
