They Put Tim Tebow And Kenny Mayne In A Room Together, And The World Didn't Explode

Not to horn in on TSB colleague and Teebows enthusiast Dan Shanoff -- who has already noted this, obviously -- but, man ... Tim Tebow, man. He's really something. Dedicated weirdo and SportsCenter glory days anchor Kenny Mayne is about the last person I'd expect to have a fantastic interview with the world's most genuine person, but apparently it worked out OK:

KM: Do you have a girlfriend? Or is there a chance for this girl?

TT: I don't even know if she's still in school. I'll never say never to anything, but no, I don't have a girlfriend.

KM: If I'm reading between the lines correctly, it sounds like she's in the running.

TT: I wouldn't say that.

It's fortunate that Tebow is about the least frightening 250-pound ambulatory rod of steel imaginable, because I can see that line of questioning going badly with many others. Kenny Mayne PROTIP: don't attempt to interview Shawne Merriman. He might throw Tila Tequila through your sternum. Even more bizarre is that Tebow seems to roll with the punches in a way that I'm guessing most self-proclaimed 22-year-old virgins would not be able to:

KM: So what you're saying is you can't run a methamphetamine lab?

TT: That phase was more during my freshman year of high school. I got out of it by junior year.

KM: What's your opinion on homeschooling, since you went that route?

TT: The methamphetamine route?

KM: Wow. I had no idea you'd be so liberal.

Yeah, truly, the Tebow Child can do anything: win national titles, run meth labs, show up in pictures next to hot women he'd never even think of fooling around with -- and that's the term he'd undoubtedly use -- and trade zingers with Kenny Mayne. After reviving vaudeville with Kenny, the only thing left is to open up North Korea with a diplomatic visit. Pyongyang Bowl? Yes? Yes?

No. OK, right, I get that was a bad idea.
