Updated throughout the day with quick takes from staff.
So Tim Tebow has held his first-ever official autograph signing. Via Darren Rovell, we learn that the items in question are going for $160 apiece. One of the items in question is a bible.
Charles Hoyle brought his Bible for Tebow to sign.
"This is one of the most precious things to me in this world," he said. "To have him autograph it makes it even more special."
Given that he's a lefty, I hope he flipped over to Judges chapter 3, which tells the story of a left-handed dude named Ehud who goes up to this king, says, "I have a message from God for you," and STABS HIM TO DEATH. The king is so fat that Ehud's sword straight up disappears into his belly, handle and all. Then Ehud jumps out the window, and the servants don't realize that the king is dead because they figure he's just upstairs taking a dump. No, seriously. It's a good read.
Anyway, if you're smart, you won't have Tebow sign a football for you because he probably won't be in football in five years. You want long-term value. You should ask yourself what he'll actually be doing a few years down the road. What should you have him sign? A printed-out email from Patti in the marketing department? A claims adjustment form? A promotional pamphlet for the NEW 2016 Ford F-150 with his business card neatly tucket into it, maybe?

On the one hand,
$160 would have bought a LOT of food for folks in Haiti/Chile who need it far worse than this dipwad needs a signed Bible.
On the other hand, in all my life I never expected to see the story of Ehud on a sports blog. So, that part is really pretty cool.
