When the Denver broncos traded Tim Tebow to the New York Jets two weeks ago, the New York sports media responded exactly how we knew it would:

But beyond the made up rumors of Tebow plotting to oust Mark Sanchez like he’s the modern day Santa Anna, there has been equal, slightly-more-legitimate excitement from NYC businesses, as Tebow’s star power means that marketing and merchandising are easier than ever. As we previously discussed, our friends at Rick’s Cabaret have already offered Tebow his (presumably) first ever lap dance, and now the Carnegie Deli is giving the Jets’ backup QB his very own sandwich.

Somewhere, Mark Brunell dripped some tears on his bankruptcy papers.

The sandwich consists of pastrami, corned beef, roast beef, American cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and mayonnaise piled high on white bread, according to the CBS report.

“Seventy-five years, we’ve always made sandwiches on rye bread,” Carnegie’s Sandy Levine told CBS. “This time, we put it on white bread and we used mayonnaise, not mustard. This is sacrosanct in delis, but we realize who Tim Tebow is. He’s an outstanding citizen. He’s the all-American boy.” (Via People)

I love how Levine is acting like she defied the Magna Carta by using white bread for this boring sandwich. Seriously, white bread and mayo? Does it also come with club soda and a copy of Reader’s Digest? Perhaps I can eat it in my Ford Focus while my homemaker wife gives me a handy with a rubber glove on. Regardless, the sandwich weighs four pounds and costs $22, so the excess and inflation totally nail the All-American theme.

Meanwhile, it looks like the Jets are going to be the subject of Hard Knocks again, so maybe Tebow can help Antonio Cromartie by preparing some flashcards.

The mighty Finns now dominate the 2 most prestigious sports in the world: ski-jumping and cell phone hurling:

Finnish domination in the distance event continued when Tommi Huotari took gold with a throw of 89.62 meters (294 feet), a few short of the world record.  "I have never thrown a phone before but have been participating in potato-throwing … surprisingly, a potato flies further," said the 38-year-old engineer.

Wow, that's unusual.  Most competitors begin with cell phones, and then move on to potatoes.  Also, I advise everybody in Finland to avoid anything this man has engineered.  

[A] teenaged circus performer won the freestyle gold medal at the world championships on Saturday. Taco Cohen of the Netherlands, who was celebrating his 19th birthday, used acrobatics and juggling in his performance which was judged on aesthetics and artistic impression. He told Reuters his performance reflected his training in a youth circus. "Juggling I have done for many years with balls. (But) these are irregular shapes and weights, it is difficult."

A Dutch circus juggler named Taco?  Sounds like he'll be juggling his balls for many years to come. -KD
