And if you think that the New York Jets is bad, you should see his fans.
Welcome to the Big Apple Tebow, Tim. If you can do there ... Well, let's just say, the attention you got in Denver - the ghost you cast, what team you are, your religion, your musical preferences, where you went to dinner and, of course, even your Tebowing - will appear more quickly, compared to magnifying glass, you'll be in Manhattan.
"I think it's a big market, it's a big city," Tebow said Wednesday evening.
Better watch what you want.
While their neighbors across the room buttoned up in the Meadowlands, the Giants had just won his second Super Bowl in five years, the jet dysfunction NFL champions. Head coach Rex Ryan is off almost all the instruments are not in the green and white with his foul mouth and obscene, and it only takes a few bottles of Lysol to clean the toxic air in the Jets locker room.
They could not even tear trade without drama.
After Tebow announced that they acquired Denver Broncos on Wednesday morning, planes need all day to actually get the agreement done, caused by the fine print. At the same time, instead of LoveFest, which usually are the new players, Tebow was sacked as a "publicity stunt" by none other than Joe Namath and dissed jets corner Antonio Cromartie.
"I can not imagine a more unlikely fit for Tim Tebow as the New York Jets, so that we know about the culture of this team. It seems to me, and many outside observers, a team that has a pretty broken culture - the culture, at least, confusion "said Patton Dodd, editor Patheos.com, web site is intended for a dialogue on religion and spirituality, and author of" Mystic Tebow. "
"(But) in some sense, this is a kind of ideal for him," said Dodd. "Even if it does not seem likely to fit, if it is serious about what he thinks this place was to use Christian language, they feel called."
On paper, Tebow has all the makings of All-American of the 21st century. He is personable, he is polite, he was generous, even listen to Christian rock and sing the lyrics when heated. He showed that he can win the football, too, to 1.4 Broncos team in the playoffs and thrilling fans of the series returned from another world.
What is not so great to start football. His 46.5 completion percentage ranked thirty-third in the NFL's 32 teams last year, and saved the Broncos in the playoffs with three straight losses.
Without going out and talking, no one other than John Elway - Hall of Fame, which now heads the Broncos - decided he'd had enough. He signed Peyton Manning - the laws of motion, no matter who you beat.
"Tim Tebow a big baby. If I want someone to marry my daughter, this is it," said Elway.
Although he called Tebow a "great player," Elway refused to say how many it can be a great defender, and then quickly sent him out of town.
Now, Tebow going to the city where the fans do not hesitate to share your feelings - it's the fans that make almost an annual ritual booing their draft picks up when his name was announced - and the team that is already dangerous situation with his lawyer, Mark Sanchez.
Sanchez has already fragile psyche after the defeat, which was last season and see the pine Manning aircraft did not help. Then, not two weeks after he signed a three-year period, planes go out and get Tebow.
"Mark Sanchez is, was and will be our starting defender," Aircraft General Manager Mike Tannenbaum said late Wednesday.
Uh-huh. Broncos say similar things about Kyle Orton, and he finished last season in Kansas City.
Fans in New York, as you know, casual - Linsanity? This is because two weeks ago - and Sanchez interception, the devil, Santonio Holmes, glare, and Jets fans will be calling for Tebow. The tabloids will not even be as sober paper Thursday with a picture of the Statue of Liberty, Tebowing.
"Obviously, we know that Tim has the following magnetic," said Tannenbaum. "We understand that the popularity of a quarter ago, and this is one more unique than others."
"Unique" is a good way to put it.
Tebow was a large and hot following his time in Florida, and presented two national titles, he has made the program, it attracts people because of his Christian faith. This is not the first player by the name of God or the drop-down on his knees in prayer, in the chaos of the game, Jeremy Lin, the latest fashion in New York, makes no secret of his Christian faith, either.
But Tebow is more honest, more passionate. As attractive as some others, it is a turn after another, and there is very little middle ground to find.
"I'm sure there will be plenty to laugh at Tim Tebow and the type of serious, evangelical spirituality," said Dodd.
This may be one reason why the planes I want to see it, though.
Now, Oakland Raiders are on good behavior, aircraft assumed the title of NFL's bad boys: brash, garrulous, itching to stir up trouble. Oh, it's entertainment first, from time to time, "Hard Knocks" felt like a football version of "Dancing Mothers."
But the act can not wear out quickly - especially when one team and the coach does not win.
Tebow "models in this life to serve others, altruism, these personality traits, in the end, contribute to the victory," said Dodd. "Despite its status as defender of the NFL is an open question, and we do not know what we find him as a defender, you know that you get from him as a person, and that is a person character. Strong ability of management, the ability to rally people around him.
"Maybe they are hoping it rubs off on people."
Despite its reputation as New York is not an atheist Gomorrah that foreigners think. The city survived the evangelical renewal of all kinds, with a young pastors a church in the goateed the windows, classrooms and hotel rooms. By nycreligion.info, about 40 percent of the 200 evangelical community in Manhattan below 125th Street began in the last decade. Empire State Building is home to the evangelical school, King's College, where students are preparing to become Christian leaders.
"The city has changed. Cities are much more religious, "said Tony Carnes, editor nycreligion.info." As the number of religious groups, we are at the highest level in 100 years. It was not the kind of excitement in this city for several years. "
Percentage of population that kissing Tebow.
Others, however, will not be nearly as friendly, watching closely to see if Tebow is really as pure as it seems.
It may even be rooting for him to fail.
"I think (being in New York) shows the firmness of his faith, and that is the question that many have tried," said Joe Price, a professor of religious studies at Whittier College of service. "If successful in New York, not only because to the north of Colorado Springs and within reach of Focus on the Family. It is within easy reach of Manhattan, a very different culture. But if his faith is expressed in the same way and win lesions that really determines the authenticity and depth of his faith. "
For his part, Tebow is not going to act as moral police aircraft. Or New York, on this issue.
Asked about the salty language of Ryan, he brushed Tebow, saying: "You will not have a pure language in the locker room NFL, so I'm not too worried about it."
His job, he says, is to play football, "is better as a defender and help the team any way possible."
And if he manages to get the aircraft back to the Super Bowl, he may be in the pantheon of New York sports heroes: Fraser. Namath. Jeter.
Tebow?
"Jets fans will be important for someone who does not lead them to glory Namath era, religion or no religion," says Price. "For fans of aircraft, the only religion that matters is the success of the Jets."
