LSU fans flooded Tim Tebow’s cell phone

The World of Tim Tebow has not been quite as magical these last two weeks as Florida lost consecutive games. (I would have thought they would never lose with him at the helm.) But alas, we have had to deal with the fact that maybe Tebow is a mere mortal. However, that doesn’t been after LSU fans got his cell phone number last week and bombarded him with calls, he let it affect him at all.

“His friends took his cell phone and the calls and messages would come in faster than they could erase them,” said Tebow’s father, Bob. “How many messages can you erase in a minute? They came in faster than that.”

Tebow called the ordeal “an interesting experience, just handling it all,” Local 6 News partner Florida Today reported.

But he said it was not too much.

After scoring a touchdown in Baton Rouge, Tebow put his hand to his helmet and taunted the crowd, as if to say, “Call me now.” He said it was all in good fun.

“They were having fun with me, so I was having fun with them, too,” he said. “It’s what college football is all about. It’s just fun, and I had fun with it. I know it probably got under their skin a little bit.”

Asked what the messages from the fans said, he replied, “I don’t use that type of language too much, so I can’t tell you. Some people did take it way too far, farther than you should take it with sports. But I think for the most part people were just having fun.”

Some of the calls included threats.

“There was some stuff like that, but I didn’t worry about it or think about it,” Tebow said. “I didn’t even think it was that big of a deal.”

Remember last week when that high school quarterback got threats to his cell phone and the police got involved? Pssh. Tim Tebow does not roll that way. He merely sees it as fun and games, homie. If only we all had such an agreeable disposition.
