Tebow and the Jets

Well, after a minor hiccup last night, it’s official, Tebow is now a Jet and already the media blitz is beginning.

First there’s the report that the Jets want Tebow to live in New Jersey and avoid New York City which they’re afraid he might not be prepared for. I wouldn’t worry about it. Tim’s a big boy. He crosses the street all by himself and everything.

Then again, I can see certain influences in the city looking upon Tim as a challenge. Corrupting him would be like winning some sort of faux trophy.

The sports media figure Tim’s going to be prominent in the Wildcat formation and provide some value in pushing Mark Sanchez. I believe I said something about Tebow and the Wildcat for the Giants two years ago.

Actually, the Giants might turn out to be one of the biggest beneficiaries of the Tebow trade to the Jets. The Giants are a team that likes to fly under the radar. The less media focus the better is their philosophy and that’s not an easy thing to achieve when you’re the current Super Bowl Champs.

But with the media going all gaga over Tebow and the Jets, that will give the Giants the kind of breathing room and peace and quiet that they like. They’ll need it while they’re trying to figure out how to put together a team to compete in what looks to be a four team slug fest in the NFC East next year after losing so many free agents.
