You could probably excuse Tim Tebow if he felt inclined to ride off into the sunset after Florida potentially wins another national title under his guide this year; there's the possibility he might also win back-to-back Heismans and the combination would be a pretty tempting way to close an amazing college career.But, also understandably, Tebow enjoys his life in Gainsville, which is what has him "leaning" towards coming back to Florida for his senior season.
"If I was leaning any way, it would be to coming back," Tebow said on Sunday, the night the Gators were paired with Oklahoma in the BCS title game. "I'm going to look and talk to coaches and see what they say. But I have no idea right now."Oh, come on, man. Nobody is that much of a do-gooder, right? I'm kidding (kind of), but good Lord, getting pumped up to make millions in order to help the community ... that's something you never hear an athlete talk about.
[...]"I don't want to leave here, but if I get blessed and have an opportunity to do a lot of things financially with that, I could do so many great things as far as organizations and community work, stuff I've always dreamed of doing with that money," Tebow said.
On the other hand, maybe that's just a clever diversion so we don't all sit here and talk about how surprised we all are that if/when he bounces without the extra Heisman and NC under his belt. Or, alternately, he's just a good example of how good things happen to good people. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm due at the coal mine by seven thirty.

Tim come back next year your team will only be that much better. Maybe back to back titles? Maybe Heisman a record 3 years in a row? Plus we owe Ole Miss payback!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He has to go back. He will be a failure as a player in the NFL.
PLEASE DON'T LET TEBOW GO TO THE PATRIOTS. THE COACH IS NOT ONLY A CHEATER BUT HE HAS NO REPECT FOR HIS TEAM, WALKING OFF THE FIELD BEFORE HIS LOSING GAME WAS EVEN OVER, LEAVING THEM WITHOUT A COACH. TEBOW IS A CHRISTIAN MAN AND DOESN'T NEED TO BE CHANGED BY AN IGNORANT COACH. (IF HE REALLY WANTED TO CHANGE, COULD HE TAKE IRBAN (sp?) MYERS WITH HIM AND GET RID OF THE JERK PATRIOTS COACH)?
