The first day of training camp opened for the New York Jets and what was the the most important thing Tim Tebow wanted to bring to Cortland, N.Y.— enough underwear.

Who cares if he is battling Mark Sanchez for the starting job or if Darrelle Revis was actually going to show up, having enough tightey-whiteys sounded like his No. 1 priority.

When a reporter asked Tebow what stuff he brought to camp, Tebow put his mouth where his money is.

"Like stuff ?," he asked. "Enough underwear. That's always key, new pairs of Jockeys."

Granted, Tebow has an endorsement deal with the undergarment company, so his little plug is understandable.


It might be a little more information than most fans cared to hear, but get ready to hear a lot more stupid questions as Tebowmania gets cranked up this summer.


I'm sure the good folks at Jockey will make sure their spokesman doesn't go commando for a long time.

Tim Tebow Was Heckled A Bit By Fans In The Jets’ First Public Practice

Daily Musings: Tebow on kickoff coverage, Griffin hamming it up & Rourke beats Bolt in 30-meter race

Come February, I’ll be interested to see the ratio of pre-season stories written about the different roles Tim Tebow might be serving for the Jets versus the in-season stories written about what Tebow actually did on the field. I’m not saying he won’t be used or making plays, but I’m saying the number of stories that will have to be written about his stellar kickoff coverage...
