Tim Tebow’s Back-up Plan

↵If for some reason Tim Tebow doesn’t make it in the NFL after his Gator career ends, he’s got a back-up plan: showman. Following last weekend’s joker announcement that he’d return to Florida, Tebow pulled a stunt during halftime of Arkansas-Florida in Gainesville today.↵↵⇥Tebow, the 2007 Heisman Trophy winner, ripped off his sling at the end of a brief speech at halftime of the Arkansas-Florida basketball game in an effort to assure Gators fans he would be fine following surgery on his non-throwing shoulder.

↵⇥“Don’t worry about this. I’ll be fine,” Tebow said as he pulled off the sling.↵↵It’s a slippery slope toward pro wrestling once you start using props, Tebow. Or you can just set athletics aside completely and sell magic healing oil from the back of your stagecoach all across the country. You know they’ll buy it up! (From the above photo, it would also appear competitive ballroom dancing is an option.)↵
