For the hundreds of Florida fans that lined up for the Chosen One’s signature, the answer is a resounding “YES!”  I doubt that the real Jesus Christ could have pulled this off–charging $160 to scribble his name on footballs, jerseys, pieces of paper and whatever else the rabid fans thrust in the former Gators quarterback’s face.

But a four hour wait to meet Tim Tebow?  Really?  It’s pretty clear that Florida fans will continue to love Tebow long after he’s named backup QB of the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

And if you’re a jaded and pessimistic jerkass like myself, you immediately thought that 1) $160 is way too much for Tebow’s autograph, and that the money would be better served on weed and hookers, and 2) with so many people lining up for Tebow’s “John Hancock” at $160 a pop, his wallet’s going to be a lot heavier.  And, like me, you’d be dead wrong…at least about the second part.

Why?  Because Tim Tebow is a better person than you or I.  See, the boatloads of cash he’s making from whoring out his signature will be going to the Tim Tebow Foundation, which is slightly more charitable and altruistic than George Costanza’s Human Fund.  Tebow had wanted to form this charity during his playing days at Florida, but NCAA rules barred him from doing so.

And while it’s fairly obvious, from the jealous bile that spews out of my mouth when talking about Tim Tebow’s quarterbacking skills, that I don’t think he’s in for a long or prosperous NFL career, there’s no doubt in my mind that Tim Tebow’s character and humanity is second to none…in any football league.
