Tim Tebow Joins the N.Y. Jets

Tim Tebow will soon become a New Yorker following his trade to the New York Jets. This trade occurred just one day after Tebow’s current team, the Denver Broncos, signed Peyton Manning as their starting quarterback. Tebow will be the backup quarterback for the Jets, filling in for starting quarterback Mark Sanchez.

Tebow won two national championships for the University of Florida before being a first round draft pick for the Denver Broncos. He is known for kneeling to pray after victories, a pose that has become known as Tebowing. He’s outspoken in his Christian beliefs and even painted a Bible verse on the black streaks beneath his eyes until the NFL banned the practice.

The Jets, who finished last season 8-8, are hoping for a shot at the Super Bowl this year, however, oddsmakers believe Tebow will neither help nor hurt the Jets’ chances. Their odds at a Super Bowl win still stand at 25 to 1.

Rosie O'Donnell Plays Matchmaker

Rosie O’Donnell played matchmaker this past weekend while at the Super Bowl. While conducting an interview with Jenny McCarthy for XM/Sirius Satellite radio, Jenny admitted she had a crush on Tim Tebow. When O’Donnell discovered that Tebow was also in the building for an interview, she took McCarthy to meet him. O’Donnell first introduced herself, then McCarthy. She stated that she thought the two of them would be perfect together. McCarthy and Tebow were able to chat for a few minutes before Tebow’s interview, and the pair did exchange phone numbers.

O’Donnell, a New York native, has worked as a comedienne, actress and talk show host over the years. She currently hosts a talk show on the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN). The show is filmed in the same Chicago studio where The Oprah Winfrey Show was filmed. In addition to hosting her own talk show, O’Donnell blogs, is a LGBT activist and a television producer.
