August 2016: After training for several months in Arizona and California, Tim Tebow, former Broncos starting quarterback, has decided to attempt a baseball career. Tebow has not played baseball since he was a junior in high school in 2004, when he hit .494. He soon will hold a tryout for all 30 major league clubs.
Wouldn't it be stunning if the Colorado Rockies signed Timmy Tebow? It is well to remember that the Rockies once drafted another college quarterback, who did play in their minor league system.
Russell Wilson.
Gary Sheffield, a member of the Denver Zephyrs' minor league team in 1988, said Tebow, who turns 29 this week, "is a natural" (another Roy Hobbs?) and could be a major league player within three years.
Tebow told me on Good Friday (yes) in 2011 that he actually had been a better baseball player than football player, but his dream was to be a starting quarterback in the NFL. He threw the winning overtime touchdown in the Broncos' playoff victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers, but never started at QB for anybody again.
Apparently, Timmy, as he referred to himself whenever he called me, finally has gotten over his football comeback aspirations.
What else could be ahead for Tebow?
August 2017: After being cut by the Schaumburg Boomers of the independent Frontier League and giving up baseball permanently, Tim Tebow has announced he's been playing pickup basketball in his Florida backyard and will join the Rio Grande Valley Vipers of NBA Developmental League. He is hopeful of being signed by the Denver Nuggets as a point guard. Tebow has not played basketball since he was in a YMCA league in the eighth grade.
August 2018: After hosting his annual charity golf tournament and shooting an 86, Tim Tebow declared that he will play in the PGA Q-school and believes he has an excellent chance to go on the Australian Golf Tour. One senior pro says Tebow has a good swing and is a "natural," but his iron shots, like his football passes, tend to go a bit wild and out of bounds.
August 2019: After posting scores of 102-111 in his last tournament in Fiji, Tim Tebow said he no longer will pursue a professional golf career. Instead, he will participate in the next "Ironman" competition, which will lead to his preparation for next year's Summer Olympics in Tokyo. Tebow expects he will be able to medal in kayaking, judo, swimming, the triathlon and men's gymnastics _ and maybe golf. Tebow will be representing the Philippines, where he was born. "I'm committed," he said. NBC commentator Michael Phelps said: "Tebow should be committed, if you get my drift."
August 2020: After appearing on "The Bachelorette" and winning, and planning to be married soon and "culminating" a relationship for the first time in his life _ his fiancee called him a "natural" _ Tim Tebow said he intends to audition for "The Voice" and will be a contestant on "Dancing With The Stars" and is in regimented training for the next season of "Survivor." "I dreamed as a kid of being a winner on a reality series."
August 2021: After his sermon at The Tim Tebow Crusade drew 123,000 to the Los Angeles Coliseum, Tebow proclaimed that he will strive to become a star for the United States soccer team in next year's World Cup in Qatar. "It's football. I'm a football player. What I like about soccer is you pass the ball with your foot, not your arm. I'll work harder than anyone else, and, as someone from Florida, I'm sure I can handle the heat in Qatar." Tebow has been training with David Beckham and Posh Spice, who called Timmy a "natural" and sang: "Soccer is ready for Tebowing."
August 2024: After watching both national political conventions, Timothy Richard Tebow has revealed he will be an independent candidate for president. "I will run, and I will win, so help me God,"
August 2025: After all three Broncos quarterbacks were injured in the opening exhibition against the London Fog expansion team, franchise owner John Elway stated in a press release that 38-year-old Tim Tebow has agreed to sign as the Broncos' starting quarterback.
