Tim Tebow Jets

Tim Tebow Jets, Take Linsanity, throw in some football fervor and lots of potential for controversy and discord. That’s what the New York Jets have as they introduce Tim Tebow at a news conference.

That’s second-string quarterback Tebow. He may already have made it to Broadway, attending the musical “Wicked,” but the Jets expect him to be a supporting player this season.

At least that’s the party line, as it was in Denver last year. “Playing for an organization that has such passionate fans and has so many people behind them, supporting them is very exciting,” Tebow said. “It means a lot to me.”

Yep, Tebowmania has hit the Big Apple after the Jets acquired him from the Broncos last week as a backup to shaky incumbent Mark Sanchez. It took just a few days for the famed Carnegie Deli in Manhattan to name a sandwich after Tebow – on white bread, naturally.

He’s in demand for the talk shows, and maybe David Letterman can arrange for Tebow and Sanchez to toss a ball to each other outside the studio on 53rd Street.

First pitch at Citi Field or Yankee Stadium? Drop the first puck at the Garden during the Stanley Cup playoffs? Give Jeremy Lin and the Knicks some encouragement from a courtside seat?
