God so loved the world he gave the Jets Tim Tebow

As Watertiger said on Twitter,
Welcome to Gomorrah, Touchdown Jesus. #youhavegottobekiddingme
There’s some other NFL news, too, about the Saints being slammed for their bounties. But that’s nowhere near as funny as the thought of Tim Tebow in NY.
Update: Ut oh. Maybe Goddess doesn’t love the world as much as I hoped.
Filed to ESPN (1): Denver and Jets have encountered hangup in language in Tim Tebow’s contract that could nullify trade
… proving once and for all that God is a Giants’ fan !
Do I have this right? Jets bring in Tebow to clean up the Dirty Sanchez? I doubt he even knows what that is…
No, no, no, Jets. That voice from above said “Come to Jesus”, not “Trade for Jesus”.
@Jim White: LOL ! I wonder if bmaz is done laughing yet …

@rosalind: Priceless !
In other news … Alex Smith signs 3-year deal with 49ers
Oh Gawd!
Because it’s New Yawk, now it’ll be 24/7 Tebowing on the teevee
Might be enough to get rid of the cable
If there was a god she would be laughing, as I am.
I am a lifelong Patriots fan and I just love the move by the foot fetishist. Maybe the tebow, as he kneels after throwing yet another interception, can kiss Ryan’s feet, or his ass whichever make his loins quiver.
Great news for Miami as they will not be bottom of the AFC East this year.
Circle jerks for all in the Jets locker room this year.
Watertiger is continuing to have fun on the Twitter Machine.
“Tebow in NY” is one of those “You can’t make this stuff up” things for comedians.
The only way this story could have been funnier is if the Jets played in Chelsea.
@nomolos: And add to that reports that BillBel might have considered Tebow (based, apparently, on his history of taking troubled players like Moss and turning them to gold). I never took that seriously, but I’m really happened that didn’t come to pass.
May the Pats continue to have Tebow’s number.
@Petrocelli: I’m not a big Smith fan but this was the right move. Manning would have been nice but one solid hit and his career would be over. The 9ers did really will in the free agency area it’s almost like Eddie is back.
Oh may be Sanchez could get out of NY and let begebus take over.
WT is being so gracious in welcoming Tebow to NYC, providing language lessons and a taxi cab primer to the newcomer in town.
Every city should have a welcoming committee like WT!
Agenda for Baby Jesus in Teh Big Apple:
1) Take Mark Sanchez’s job
2) Take Mark Sanchez’s girlfriend, Kate Upton.
@bmaz:
Upton made an appearance in a June 2011 episode of Tosh.0, participating in a segment called “Knife or Banana”, emulating a Japanese game show in which she is stabbed with a banana.
No Comment.
I’m reading Peyton stands to lose 8 million this year and Gregg Williams is gone for life. Ouch.
If Tebow took the girl would he know what to do with her?
Oooops
The devil’s in the details

@nomolos: “Ooh, ooh, ooh; want to learn how to defend yourself against pointed sticks, do we? Getting all high and mighty, eh? Fresh fruit not good enough for you, eh? Well let me tell you something my lad! When you’re walking home tonight and some great homicidal maniac comes after YOU with a bunch of loganberries, don’t come cryin’ to me!”
@JohnT: Another devil, more details:
Keep an eye on Manning’s contract with Denver for anything about medical conditions, which could turn Manning’s millions to dust, overnight.
Bob in AZ
@GulfCoastPirate: Yeah, not sure about that. With THAT girl though, we would find out right quick.
The latest from Adam Schefter:
I guess Jax has to at least LOOK like they’re trying to fill those seats if the price is just a 4th rounder and some bonus money.
What I heard on NPR is that the Jets needed to juice ticket sales, which were lagging, and considered getting Tebow something that would interest fans.

@emptywheel: That is easy. Denver needs a backup QB. Swap Henne for Tebow. Done!
@SpanishInquisition:
Right! Gotta love Python Manning.
*heh* I don’t care where St. Timmie goes, as long as he’s gone from Denver…! ;-)
You probably already know this bmaz, but Randall McDaniel’s going to be honored tomorrow

@CTuttle: Elway wasted little time with that, now he’s just trying to look like the Broncos lost less in the whole Tebow fiasco in the first place.
@emptywheel: Oh, man. That has to burn Jimmy Fallon. I was trying to decide whether his song tonight would be “Heaving to a Jet Team” (Leaving on a Jet Plane) or “Timmy and the Jets” (Bennie and the Jets). Probably the second one, since it could be by Sir Elway John…
for bmaz, rick reilly tweet re-tweeted by my espn mag girl crush molly knight:
followed by:
@rosalind: Must need a vacation; ain’t gonna get Luck
@bmaz:
too late, bmaz.
she done it to you again.
stilletto in the trash talk.
ugh, i can’t bear to look.
payton manning’s problem isn’t his neck.
it’s his head – he’s taken too many hits to the head.
what other explanation could there be for going with a team like denver with a not-so-great offensive line, even if the broncos do bring in manning’s own personal center.
Any word on whether the J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS have finished reading Tebow’s contract, something they didn’t bother to do before rushing to announce the trade so as to get a big media splash in NYC? Seems they cranked up the trumpet fanfare and announced the trade before reading the part that says they have to pay the Broncos $5.06 million – salary they’d advanced Baby Jesus.
@scribe: ESPN said it’s done. As of 9:00.
tim 3:16.
Is he actually going to start after all that money they threw at Sanchez?
In the best possible scenario, Tebow could take Shonn Greene’s job. He’d be good at that. That is actually something the Jets need, too.
I cannot believe this isn’t a joke.
(ETA: Per NYT the new coordinator is interested in running the Wildcat, and Tebow will be the backup. That makes more sense then.)
Well, with all the media attention going to Tebow there will be less for Rex Ryan and his mouth. You have to look on the bright side.
The kid is tapping into something that is right…
Let me say, I am not even Baptised, from a couple generations of … athiests… but I am down with those who do have good sound beliefs… I like what the guy says…

One of the books I bought when I was kikked out of the high school… ( I then decided I would start reading books… so I went up to the town and with my meagre monies… purchased a few well chosen paperbacks… well… I learned about existentialism…. and I went through the works of the main Psychoanalists too… I gave em a chance to make their arguments… (like in me reading them that is) ,
Well to boil it down for you… You may be smart, you be on top your game… but you may not really realize that the basis of what you are is… you are just a little ant, walking around….
God… or something like something, like a “god” is there at the center. if you don’t see that you are a poor creature, my nieghbor’s cat is smarter than that… she comes over for the treat, that I do provide… can’t not throw her a piece of something… real goods… boy tell you what the damn cat loves just a little pc of real… meat/fish
Hi there EMty… we who worked on the docks, we used to use a chalk, to mark emty containers… M/T but the waterfront… my best time was before the f’n containers took over… I know the waterfront, My grand dad, started logging in at about 1906, the year of the SF earthquake… that was a good year for the guys who worked the steam schooners… a couple of decades of work, for the… “Norwegian Navy”, who were the guys worked those boats.
You know it sneaks up on me, that probably… people (wonks or what ) might not care about this biographical… and oblique shit… so, why am I interested in youre wonk?, well, cause I just am… Edd
@emptywheel: Dear God, Denver threw millions at the Jets just to make Timmy go away.
Tell us what you really think, much.
@scribe: Money well spent then…! ;-)
@CTuttle: I suppose. But it’s right down there with “tell us whether you’d rather be traded to NYJ or Jax”.
Oy.
In other news, Green-Ellis now with the Bungles. There goes another promising career….
@scribe: alex jones of all peole… no he is down on the ground as far as I would say.. but you might get some good from listening to his last nights show…
you are a complete shit head pardner… total complete dodo. take your sports and shouve it up yoy know where.
@rosalind:
Another virgin sacrifice comment in the Lawyers, Guns, and Money thread. The commentariat are killing it as usual for a Tebow thread over there.
