By now I'm sure you guys are sick of Lebron threads and wondering what Tebow has been doing. He spent some more time in Memphis, where he has been a lot since signing with agent Jimmy Sexton.
http://www.commercialappeal.com/news/2010/may/12/tebow-brings-magic-to-memphis/
Sexton thought the sleepy solitude of Memphis would provide Tebow with the necessary witness-protection atmosphere. The plan was simple -- Tebow would live with Sexton for two weeks, and work out every day at local private high schools like Memphis University School, Christian Brothers and Briarcrest.
But . . .
"It was the craziest thing I've ever seen," Sexton said as word of mouth spread about the Tebow sightings. "I've never had a family knock on my door at 2 in the afternoon, asking me if Tim Tebow was staying in my house. I never had phone calls from so many parents with available 21-year-old daughters wanting to meet Tim.
While Tebow has been blown away by the number of endorsement opportunities, he's also declined some seven-figure per year deals because he thought they would interfere with his football preparation.
Just last week, the NFL announced that Tebow's No. 15 Broncos' jersey is the fastest selling rookie jersey in history, blowing past the record Mark Sanchez set last year.
He also got a chance to take batting practice with the MUS baseball team and hit 12 of 15 pitches out of the park.
"The kids were just awed by how far he hit the ball," Sexton said. "The best thing about Tim is he thinks he's just another guy and acts that way. He's oblivious to everything going on around him. He doesn't think he's a big deal. I asked him the other day how he stayed so humble, how come he didn't get the big head compared to a lot of other athletes."
Well, Tim?
"You have to decide what you have to be proud about, and being a football player doesn't make you any more special than anyone else," Tebow said. "Football gives me a platform and with that platform comes a responsibility and obligation to make a difference in people's lives."

I used to hat him because he is a tool. But now that he is in a league filled with tools and one of the nice tools, I hope he does well.

Sick of constant LeBron threads? Yep.
Wondering what Tebow's doing? Nope. Shit, I don't care about what any of the guys Pittsburgh drafted are doing, as long as what they're doing involves conditioning and shit for the upcoming season and doesn't involve legal charges and courtroom dates.
