Even as a gator, I cannot help but laugh at this. Please decline this, Tebow, for your own sake. I can guess the jokes that will go with this already.

Former Florida standout Tim Tebow has been offered a four-month contract by the Italian federation for American football, and the Milano Seamen are hoping to sign the free agent quarterback.
quote:
“The offer has been made to his agent and now we're waiting for a response,” Seamen president Marco Mutti told The Associated Press. “We would be more than happy to have him.”
A federation spokesman, James Dewar, told AP that the offer is for $200,000 and that it was sent Wednesday on the recommendation of a sponsor.

Would 200K even cover rent and utilities?
Broadcasting is his future. He's the next Herbstreit.

Doubtful 200k covers much for a sports star over there.
Also, I don't see him doing broadcasting yet. I can't imagine listening to him and hearing him take a hyperventilating breath every 5 words like he does in his interviews, but ESPN probably sees differently. My guess is he will work on his mechanics for one more year before throwing in the towel.

That's who I played for ... we were owned by Georgio Armani at the time and were limited as to the number of Americans who could play, five on each side of the ball.
It's actually good football. You'd be surprised at the level of talent there is in the club system in Italy ... and Italians are the best American football players in Europe IMHO, followed by the Germans then the Brits.
I'll say this, back in my day, when we were coached by Domenic Tesoriero ... we owned Europe, went undefeated my first year there and only lost one game my second year there. Met my first wife there. Good memories.
We had models around us all the time, lived in the same building with a lot of Armani's models.
lol ... just heard from Coach Tesoriero not long ago ironically. Crazy old man is taking selfies and sending them to all his old players just to prove how in-shape he is even today. The guy was a beast. We had some good ballplayers on our team, from Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, California. The linebacker who played beside me, his brother started for UCLA alongside Ken Norton's son. I mean we had some ballplayers.
But Tebow would be a gimmick over there and he wouldn't like how wicked physical the game is played there - almost on a dirty level. It's combat.

Coach Tesoriero looks like he could hand out a few arse whippings.

He'd be close to the pope, that's gotta account for something.

Frickin' guy was a beast of a coach. He was GM Sergio Galeotti's and Armani's first coach from 81-90 I believe he ended up staying that long if I am not mistaken. Coach T was brutal though - many a day it was that many of us walked off the practice field puking our guts out.
Coach T was the first European coach to demand we hit the weight room, we had curfews, we had a training table ... he did everything the American way and it paid off. I just wish we had made the money then that some of them are making today, especially when our exchange rate back then was always between 1600-2000 mille to the dollar.
We won the Italian super bowl my first year there and then they won it again the year after I came back to the states.
We had another Gamecock playing basketball in northern Italy at the same time, Zam Fredrick, so there was good representation by the Gamecocks back then and it was not uncommon to see Italian kids wearing Gamecock t-shirts etc.
There is more fine cooze in Milano, per square mile, than anywhere else in the world IMHO. Like Hollywood has actresses and wanna be actresses, Milano has models. Of course, that probably wouldn't matter to Tebow.

Did you start rooting for cocks after or before you starting playing for the seamen?
