Person pays $100,000 to hang out with Tebow for one day

It's charity, but who would pay that much money just to hang out with someone!?! I'd imagine 20% of that day is devoted to discussing religion. Tebow also probably feels disappointed after being kicked off his former team, so I doubt he would discuss football relationships, in-detail. Even if Tebow wanted to, most football details are confidential (ex. the playbook). Furthermore, Tebow will not joke at other people's expense, so good luck cracking Sanchez jokes, so what is there worth talking about? It sounds it would be a very uncomfortable conversation!

I can think of 100,000 other things I'd rather spend $100,000 on.

I can't think of a single person, NFL related or otherwise, I'd pay $100,000 to hang out with.

[Coltman51]

Hey, just saw it was a couple that bid, so thats only 50,000 apiece, what a bargain, lol.

[Peyton and Eli fan]

They are committed to hanging out with Tebow - unless Peyton becomes available of course ;)

[shecolt]

If I were a person who could consider $100,000 to be small change, I would pay that much to spend a day with Peyton.

[DILLIGAFER]

She colt,

I bet Peyton would do it for free, then donate his own cash to a charity.

[MAC]

They are committed

Or should be.

You probably could have stopped right there.

Why so bitter? The kid is outstanding, and before you judge, you have read what they are doing for the day right? I applaud the kid, and the people.

$100,000 dollars to spend 1 day with Tim Tebow?!! Anyone who spends that kind of cash on Tebow is off their rocker & needs to seriously re-evaluate their priorities in life. Yes I know, the money went to a worthy charitable organization, but still.

Tim Tebow does seem like a fine, upstanding fellow, but if it were me, I would hang out with the Deli Lama, Nelson Mandela, or 1 of my favorite musicians personally.

[ColtsLegacy]

I would spend $100,000 to not have to "hang out" with Tim Tebow.

[Jules]

I think it's his body. That has to be it.

But still what? Anybody that would donate $100,000 to a worthy charitable organization needs to seriously re-evaluate their priorities in life? I'm sure there are many examples out there of $100,000 being spent in far worse ways.

If you have the means to donate that much money to charity you might as well get something fun out of it at the same time. Hanging out with Tebow isn't my idea of fun, but it is for millions of others.

Perhaps, but I would think that would defeat the very purpose of having the fund raiser.

I find it far more likely that Peyton would match my donation.

[FireJimCaldwell]

I wouldn't pay 10k to hang out with Anne Hathway in her catwoman suit, so there is no way I'd pay 100k to hangout with Tebow in his friar outfit.

[subvet]

If I had that kind of money to blow on something stupid I still wouldn't want to be anywhere near Tim Tebow.....Jessica Alba, maybe.

[Jules]

I wonder how much Aaron Rodgers costs for a night?

Oh, did I say that out loud? Nevermind.

[Vance]

Jules is on a roll tonight...too much merlot??

[JCPatriot]

Just for that, I'm glad I checked in one last time before going to bed. That made my night.

[Jules]

Just wanna try on the championship belt after the winning score.

All right, I am done now.

Tebow!!!!!!!! Tebow in NY. I have to say.....I kinda like it. I am not sure why but I have this funny feeling this might work out. When things look this odd sometimes they work out in the end.

[Jules]

Would you play 10,000 to see Tebow in a catwoman suit?

It is tempting......I know.

[Thewholefnshow28]

Dang I wish I had enough money to just donate 100K like that.

Why in the world would you pay to hang out with Tim Tebow? You cannot tell me the conversations would be that intersting or amazing. This is the same guy who described his talk with Josh McDaniels as ball and juice.

[Peyton and Eli fan]

I heard on the radio today that they are spending the day with him with a group of underprivileged children. So, it's not like they are just hanging out with him at home.

[ruksak]

For $100,000 I would request that he dance for me until I was satisfied with his efforts to amuse me.

[MIColtsFan]

it's their money and to each their own! I don't have a 100,000 to spend on anything, but I'm sure the point of this going to charity is much more important than any other aspect of this and the opportunity to make a difference for those kids!

[MAC]

Funny, but also succinctly demonstrates the absurdity of the whole thing. Being willing to pay so that someone spends time with you wavers somewhere between mental dysfunction and prostitution. Frankly if somebody has no desire to hang out with me unless I pay them, then why the heck would I want to debase myself in that fashion. Just ridiculous.

I mean if through pot luck a celebrity that you respected ended up being a personal friend, terrific. That would be pretty cool. But trying to buy their time? What's wrong with these people? If you want to give money to a charity, give money to a charity. If you want to communicate with an athlete, send them an honest letter of appreciation. Combining the two like this makes my skin crawl. And as others have said, what the heck would you talk to Tebow about anyway for all that time? The depth and breadth of his knowledge and experience with the world is a fraction of my own, he doesn't actually know HOW to play quarterback, and I have no interest in rubbing oil on his biceps. Unless he shares my unnatural fondness for slurpees and pizza, there really wouldn't be a lot to talk about.

Jules, your clever wit just cracks me up...Thanks for the mischievous smile. I appreciate that. You made my day.

I'd bet not

(not that there is anything wrong with that for the record)

[shecolt]

I don't understand why some of you are upset with this.

Rhett payed $150 to dance with Scarlett at a charity ball. Yeah, I know that is fiction. But, charity based auctions of this type have been conducted for years and years.

The $100,000 isn't going into Tebow's pocket. It is going to the TIm Tebow Foundation which IMO supports several very good causes.

The person(s) who bid this high are more than likely fans of Tebow. But, they may also be very supportive of the workings of his foundation. I see nothing wrong with that.

[chad72]

This is much better than spending $20 million to get on to a Russian space ship, right?

I can't say that it upset me. Celebrities frequently auction themselves off for charity, it's just that it's usually for someone else's charity, not their own, and it's usually for a dinner or a golf round or something, not an entire day, and it's usually for a few thousand bucks, not $100k. It just seemed like an extreme example of Tebowmania related adulation. I couldn't fathom what they planned on doing with him. Perhaps painting him gold and parking him on the front lawn to impress the neighbors. Just wierd. None of this is an effort on my part to denigrate Tebow, I'm just confused by those who love him a little bit "too" much. There was some nervous laughter from him after it happened as well. Apparently he had similar thoughts to the effect "what the heck can I do to justify that",

However in an effort to be more fair, I have read a couple of stories about it. I now understand that the donors are looking to hold a little charity event in a run down area near where they live, and see if he can inspire some local kids who don't have much going on. In others words these aren't freaks looking for 12 hours of face time, they want to put him to work and try to use his reputation to do some good. Considering that Tebow would have probably been happy to do that kind of work without compensation, the donation merely serves to steer the location of his efforts, not to serve themselves. That's a whole different ballgame. More power to them all.

[GoColts8818]

I just wish I was in a poistion to be able to pay $100,000 to hang out with someone, check that I wish I was in a poistion where someone would pay me $100,000to hang out with me!

[GoColts8818]

Well JPP and Justin Tuck got to do it for free. You just have to be able to get passed the Packers o-line Jules and knowing how much you like Rodgers I don't think that would be an issue for you ;).

[BleedingBlue]

I think Hathaway in a cat woman outfit is gonna cost you more than 10k ;)

[LJpalmbeacher2]

I seriously doubt that anyone even spent a nickel to hang out with tebow.

It's just publicity.
