NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – Tim Tebow made his first appearance as a New York Jet on Monday at a news conference at the team’s training facility in Florham Park.

“I’m looking forward to my future as a Jet and I’m very, very excited about it,” a visibly nervous Tebow told reporters at the news conference that began shortly after noon.

“This is where I want to be,” Tebow added. “Being a Jet, it’s awesome because you have so many fans that support us as Jets, and they’re so passionate.”

As for his ability to get along and work under the highly controversial Jets coach Rex Ryan, Tebow isn’t concerned in the least. He also explained that his role is not set in stone, though he’s completely content with whatever is asked of him.

“I have had time to spend with Coach Ryan,” Tebow explained. “I think a lot of it has to do with how well it works, how it does in practice. Obviously you’re not going to put something out there if it’s not executed and not running well. I think it really matters how well we do and how quickly I can pick everything up.”

Tebow insisted that he and Jets starting quarterback Mark Sanchez can not only co-exist, but that the two are in fact very good friends. The backup QB simply can’t imagine that he and the USC product won’t be able to work together in a productive fashion and have fun while doing so.

“Me and Mark have a great relationship and we have for the last three years.” Tebow said. “We’ve texted back and forth, we’ve talked already and we’re going to have a great relationship and a great working relationship. I think we’ll have a lot of fun together.”

Naturally, Tebow had to address the notion of spreading faith in New York and in the locker room, an idea that he has been getting all of this attention because of his faith.

“I think it doesn’t matter what market I was in, I don’t think it played a big part in it,” Tebow said. “In the locker room, it’s not something I’m super outspoken about.”

That’s not to say that God won’t continue to play a crucial role in Tebow’s daily routine, both on the field and off.

“Obviously, I’m someone who is very outspoken about my faith and I’ve never been ashamed of it,” Tebow said. “And always, any time I get the opportunity I always thank my Lord and savior, Jesus Christ. But I don’t think all the attention I get is just because of my faith.

And as for the recent phenomenon that has come to be known as Tebowing?

“As far as ‘Tebowing’ goes, I’ve been doing that same routine for the last seven years, since my senior year in high school,” Tebow admitted. “It’s funny because all of a sudden it became a big story. We’re at a press conference for a football team, so it’s not exactly the kind of platform to get up here and share what you believe. For me, it’s about having a relationship with Christ, and that’s pretty much the basis of what I believe. It’s exciting for me to get opportunities to share it, but at the same time this is a press conference for the New York Jets football team.”

Rex Ryan, Mike Tannenbaum and Woody Johnson were not at Tebow’s news conference on Monday. They’re at the NFL meetings in Florida.

Isn’t it ironic how Tebow gets picked on for his religious beliefs, when he plays in a league filled with murders, rapists, spouse abusers, drug abusers, drug dealers, and psychopathic animal killers? The only way the poor guy is going to get any respect is if he rapes someone, or tortures and kills a dog.

Tebowing needs to be spelled differently now that Tim is with the Jets…TeBoeing.

Tebow will do nut fine. He’s not made of wax nor putty. He’ll do just fine on the field win or lose, he’ll come off smiling and ready to go the next game. He will survive the NY press furor. He is for real and that is what the Noo Yawkers cannot handle.

This is a direct result of the White House, instructing CBS, to report on “trivial stories” to deflect attention from Obama’s policies.

Notice that every day, a new nonsense story is reported?

Helllloooo?

Master Shake

Hahaha. I know you must be joking because that is the dumbest thing I have ever read, and I know you couldn’t possibly think something so ridiculous.

I don’t think the trade of one of the most highly publicized QBs in NFL could be considered trivial.

jesus slice

teblow cant be a xtian. he works on the lords day. the bible says if you work on gods day you should be stoned to death. will timmy cry when rex starts the f bombs?

jumpstart

First, the New Testament doesnt say that. Secondly, if he cries it all, it won’t be because of the f-bomb. It will most likley be because he has eyes to see God’s hand move in his life, and in the life of those around him. When God heals someone you love in your life, based on prayers that you have prayed, that is pretty awesome.
Berean

Hey numbnuts, if you truly knew what you were talking about you would know that, technically speaking, the Sabbath or “lords day” is on Saturday. Now, God is no legalist nor should his followers be. That is kind of what Jesus ministry to the Pharisees and Scribes was all about. I just love how someone is already starting in on the dude. Grow up.
gop4ever

j.s. Real Christians do not write “xtians” and abbreviate Christ’s name out. So, looks like you’re not the real Christian……….

Why are some people calling him “Broadway Tim”? “Times Square Tim” seems more appropriate.

Christians should forgive the anti-God fools, in fact, Jesus instructs us to do exactly that.

These pathetic and pitiful folks have nothing. They are free worship nothing, free to believe in nothing, free to have nothing, free to live for nothing, and free to die with nothing, but that is not good enough, many are so hate-filled they want to make sure nobody else has anything either.

So… Why are they so hate filled? Maybe They need something for themselves. While the Christian message of love and understanding IS INTENDED FOR EVERYONE, maybe the anti-God crowd will feel better and less hateful if they have a holiday all their own. Here is a suggestion…

In the Bible, Psalm 14:1 states, “The fool says in his heart, there is no God.” There ya go… April 1st is April Fool’s Day and so April Fool’s Day is obviously the perfect holiday for those who say there is no God.

Happy April Fool’s Day to all of you miserable anti-God fools

Doesn’t that feel better now?

UyeahU

I understand your frustration, but remember some of Jesus’ final words on the cross: “Father forgive them, they don’t know what they are doing.” They seek to prove a universal negative, that “there is no God” and this is illogical, something they can neither know nor prove. Christians on the other hand, can know there is a God, because it says that God gives believers the Holy Spirit to live within them as a deposit on their future redemption. Christians are to model Christ for unbelievers, you may be the only “Jesus” these people ever see. You don’t have to be their doormat, but you should be gracious knowing their future fate. “There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.” The real problem is explained by Paul: “The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Sprit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.” 1st Corinthians 2:14

Also be careful calling someone a fool, the Bible warns that whoever does so is in danger of the fires of hell. We are not to be judge, jury and spiritual executioner, God alone knows the heart and he alone has the right to call them fools. While some of these people no doubt really hate God and the thought of God, some at least are probably still searching for truth. They are defending their particular orthodoxy but fail to see its end.

U Y U this is very wise and well written.

Rodin

Your Babble, well, the New Testosterone, also shows your Jesus was a doubter: “My god, why hast thou forsaken me?” The fabulists who wrote that were masters at “cover your butt” marketting.

Apparently, the NYC press corp is rotten to the core.

matt2717

And how, and not just the NY media. Am I the only one who’s noticed that Ray Lewis, also an outspoken Christian, hasn’t had to take near the crap from the snarling hyenas that Tebow has?

Tim Tebow is a breath of fresh air because he has overcome human nature.

Pro sports are RIGGED. This is just more anti-Christian social-engineering from the mainstream. Shaq recently came out promoting the Freemasons. Tebow = Freemason, not Christian.
comentator

Wait for all the facts to come on…but I do have on question…

What the H*ll is this kind of comment doing in a article about Tim Tebow??!?!?!?!?
Ell-Way, Go to Hell … Gay !!!

It warms my heart to see the positive comments about Tebow … I’ve been a fan for weeks!

Bill Duke

Best decision Elway has made in a long time was to trade Tebow. Tebow finished the season with a 1-4 record (That record got Orton traded, you know). Combine that with Tebow’s worst in the NFL pass completion % and and any sane person can see that trading him off and getting Manning was a win for Denver.

Jon

Looks like this idiot has watched the Manchurian Candidate to many times.
Hopefully he’s been brain watch where he looks at himself in the mirror and thinks the guy he sees is his target. One less nut in this world.

Bill, go to Lowe’s, buy a ladder and get over it!!
