Couple bids $100,000 to spend day with Jets backup quarterback

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. -- There are a lot of fans who would give anything just to spend a couple of minutes with Tim Tebow.
One couple is willing to spend $100,000 to spend a day with the New York Jets quarterback.
That amount was the winning bid in a live auction during Friday night's gala event that kicked off the Tim Tebow Celebrity Golf Classic, which is a fundraising event for the Tim Tebow Foundation. The husband and wife, whom the foundation declined to identify, plan to share their day with Tebow with underprivileged children near their home in the Florida Keys.

If Tim Tebow is worth $100,000 to hang out with, that begs the all-important question: how much would you pay to hang out with Brian Hoyer? What about Rohan Davey once upon a time? Is Matt Cassel worth anything?
But I guess an even more important question is how much is the starting quarterback of the Jets worth to hang out with? Would you plunk down $200K to spend a day with the Sanchize player? Not a backup, not a backup. Talkin' about a Sanchize player.
Two points for real though: 1. This proves that religion causes people to do crazy things and 2. The New York Jets season is over before it even starts. Because when the backup quarterback is more famous than your starter....I'm starting to think Rex Ryan might actually lose weight this season for all the stress he'll go through deciding which quarterback on his roster is the least mediocre.
And one more point: how much would you throw down to hang out with me? I'm a cool dude, right? No I'm not a God-fearing Christian virgin with a herky-jerky lefty throwing motion who goes on missions to the Philippines but I'll at least drink with you. I've gotta be worth at least as much as Tebow right?
