Best place for him!

[Brian Fein]

That's EXACTLY where he belongs.  Take it, Timmy!

If his Arena League gig doesn't pan out, he still has all that third world foreskin-snipping experience to fall back on.

This is perfect for Tebow and the team he's with.  Even better if there's a team somewhere in North Florida.

If the main knock on him is that he's inaccurate, why the hell would he go to the Arena League where they throw the ball 90% of the time and almost never run?

He would go there because NO NFL team probably wants him and its his last chance to play football

A lot of guys were inaccurate their first years in the NFL.  After honing their skills in the Arena league, they went on to respectable careers.  Take Kurt Warner and Tommy Maddox for example.

Tebow would be a perfect fit for the Orlando Predators from a marketing standpoint.  From what I've heard about Orlando, it is chock full of Gators fans and I'm sure they would pack the house to see him.

could be worse .. they could be a bunch of trash Seminole fans instead..

The Gators have a huge following in Miami so why wouldn't they in Orlando where it's less than 2 hours away?

Tim Tebow and Chipper Jones are partners in D-1, a training gym about 2 miles from my house. They have both been there recently training.  I guess Chipper just wants to stay in shape. Either way ... it's a really big deal when Tebow is there.

Regardless of what league it is I think Tebow sells tickets in Florida. If any team could get around the circus that comes with him, it's crazy not to sign him as he literally is money in the bank.

You're looking at it from a college football rivalry standpoint.  Try looking at it from a business/marketing standpoint.

This is exactly what I'm talking about.  If the owner of the Predators can convince Tebow to play in the Arena League, there's gonna be a cash register ringing in his head. 

[MyGodWearsAHoodie]

This is non-news. 

And little more than the owner of an Arena team trying to get free publicity.  Yes, I am sure that multiple ALF teams would sign Tim Tebow, along with pretty much every single other cut NFL player.

Tim Tebow will likely have three choices this year:  (1) being a backup QB in the NFL somewhere; (2) be a TE/FB on an NFL team; (3) be a starting QB in the AFL.

From what I've heard about Orlando...

From what you've heard about Orlando?  You would think someone who lives so close by would know it well.

I don't go there very often.  I tend to stick to coastal cities like Tampa/St. Pete

Comparing Tim Tebow to Kurt Warner is a personal insult to Kurt Warner and I'm not gonna stand for it. You take that back right now. LOL

[Sunstroke]

...You take that back right now. LOL

...or Kurt's demonic looking wife will come kick your ass.
