Being from Omaha, Nebraska, I found this next bit of news to be pretty funny. Just the other day, the New York Jets announced that they would be releasing back-up quarterback Tim Tebow. Who's the first team to show a public interest in the partial quarterback? The Omaha Beef of the Arena Football League!
Current Beef quarterback, James McNear, didn't seem phased at all by the announcement, saying, "I think Tim can learn a lot from me."
You read that correctly - an Arena football quarterback by the name of James McNear (who?) said that Tim Tebow could learn a lot from him.
Perhaps McNear is correct, since he's competing 70% of his passes, with 21 touchdowns, compared to only 2 interceptions. Tebow, on the other hand, has completed right around 48% of his passes through his NFL career to this point.
So, if Tebow likely won't be starting for the Beef, what's in it for him? As the article states, "...and the Nebraska indoor football team will even pay him $75 a game."
That's big money for a guy who was just released by an NFL team!
Rumor has it that when Tebow was sarcastically asked by a reporter following this announcement, "Where's the beef?," Tebow responded with, "In my pants."
