The news has been everywhere for the last 36 hours— Tim Tebow is now a New England Patriot.

Though he still needs to make the final roster, the Patriots did already cut their third string quarterback. What that means exactly is still a mystery but the media frenzy surrounding this story would be enough to make even Paris Hilton want some privacy.

NFL.com’s Adam Schein thinks the Tebow/Belichick arrangement will work out perfectly. Other’s like Grantland’s Andrew Sharp have chosen to take a satirical approach to the news.

Twitter of course, also went crazy:

We want to know what our readers think about Tebow-mania or Tebow-time or whatever you want to call it. So let us know by leaving a comment!
