    Tim Tebow signs a contract.

    I think he can live on the guaranteed part.

    If anybody can live on it, it will be Tim Tebow. I dare say he won't have a "posse" living with him that he supports and all the other nonsense that a lot of these young kids do when they get money.

    I remember Gonzo saying that you wouldn't believe what these kids spend their money on when they get to the NFL.

    I would imagine that Tim will set up some sort of charitable foundation and/or donate a significant sum of money to worthy causes, maybe even his parents ministry.

    I can't say I'm rooting for Tim to succeed as a QB, mainly because Brady Quinn is also with the Broncos and I'm rooting for him.

    I do think Tim will get a very fair shot, I was listening to a NFL guy talk about Tim and he said most people wouldn't have taken him in the 1st round, but that Josh McDaniels fell in love with Tim when he met him and even though the Broncos scouting staff was against the pick, McDaniels could not be deterred and insisted that Tim be drafted in the 1st round. He said that means with the HC having stuck his neck out for you, Tim will get every opportunity to play. I actually can see Tim playing and doing well right away in Wildcat situations.

    How can one argue with this type of attitude and helping the less fortunate!

    That's not typical of Tebow's humor, at least not as far as I know.

    However his attitude of donating the money and being able to live on his regular income is typical of him.

    Heck, I would have no problem living on his income. :)
