Mmm...Sandwiches

Ok, I cant stay silent on Tim Tebow the Jet anymore. If the rest of NY is anything like me, they're already sick of him. Although to be honest, I was sick of him when he was in Denver. The fact is, he's an average quarterback who had some lucky late game heroics. What he is, however, is a unique and fairly polarizing personality.
New York is a huge market, the hugest. Countless media outlets have their bases there. Tim Tebow is nothing if not a great story in the paper. Look at the other quarterbacks in NY. Mark Sanchez is another average player who is very pretty. Two time Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning is too quiet for the NY press. He goes on the field, wins championships and goes home.
The thing that is annoying me the most about Tebow the Jet is how he is already the toast of the town. The Carnegie Deli has already named a sandwich after him. Presumably, it is a fish sandwich. I imagine it is only a loaf of bread with one small fish on it, but like all Carnegie Deli sandwiches, can feed dozens. The true irony is that the most Jewish deli in NY is honoring the most Christian player in America.
"Doin' great there Timmy"
To be fair to the Carnegie Deli, they tried to make an Eli Manning sandwich. It was a double decker sandwich filled with the most awesome of all meats; bacon, filet mignon, caviar, and bacon. It was then dipped in gold and served on the Lombardi Trophy by a team of physicist supermodels. It sold well, but customers had trouble chewing through the gold. Also it cost $42,000. Totally worth it.
