During Jose Canseco’s career, the former major leaguer clobbered 462 home runs over 17 seasons — albeit part of it due to his admitted use of anabolic steroids. But now, he says he can help former Broncos quarterback-turned-Mets outfield prospect Tim Tebow become a power hitter. “He’s extremely strong, extremely physical,” Canseco said to TMZ. “… I can easily get him up to 35 to 45 home runs (at the MLB level). At the AAA level, he could hit 50.” Canseco reaffirmed his claim on Tuesday. “If I can hit a softball 500 feet at the age of 55 you can hit 40 home runs in the major leagues,” he tweeted, “if you let me help you yes I’m talking to you Tim Tebow.” The 6-foot-3, 245-pound Tebow hit six home runs in 84 games for the Mets’ Double-A affiliate Binghamton last season. — Joe Nguyen, The Denver Post 💥 A special offer for Sports Omelette readers!

QB Brock Purdy looking to be Iowa State’s Tim Tebow
AMES, Iowa -- Iowa State quarterback Brock Purdy grew up idolizing Tim Tebow. After a phenomenal freshman season, perhaps it was more than serendipity that the Cyclones awarded Purdy No. 15, which Tebow wore at Florida, when he first arrived on campus. Purdy, who rose from the third string to lead Iowa State to seven wins in nine games in 2018, met with reporters for the first time on Friday. Iowa State doesn't allow freshmen to speak with reporters.Striving to model one's approach to both football and life after Tebow - one of the greatest college players of all time - might seem a bit audacious. But Purdy, who set the school record for both completion percentage and passing efficiency in 2018, might be one of the few guys who could actually pull it off."Just his faith, first of all. I take my life seriously with my faith," Purdy said of Tebow, a devout Christian. "Watching his game and his passion for his team and the university he played for, that's what I want to do here at … [Read more...] about QB Brock Purdy looking to be Iowa State’s Tim Tebow

Former Denver Broncos and University of Florida quarterback Tim Tebow is engaged.

Tebow similarly failed to make the Eagles in 2015, then signed a minor-league contract with the New York Mets a year later. … [Read more...] about Tim Tebow is engaged to Miss Universe
Denver Sports Omelette: President Trump loses signed Tim Tebow helmet amid charity allegations
President Donald J. Trump is being blitzed and he’ll have to face the pressure without a helmet — a Tim Tebow helmet. Trump agreed to shutter the Donald J. Trump Foundation on Tuesday — fallout from the New York State attorney general’s office alleging the President illegally used the foundation for personal and political benefit and, who’d have guessed, Tebow memorabilia is under center in the latest allegations against the commander and chief. The foundation has $1.75 million and additional assets to be liquidated to other charities at the discretion of New York Attorney General Barbara Underwood and a state judge, according to the Washington Post. An autographed helmet by the former Broncos quarterback is part of those “additional assets,” which include two large portraits of Trump. Trump used $12,000 of his foundation’s money at a 2012 auction to secure the Tebow lid. Why he wanted an autographed Tebow helmet is … [Read more...] about Denver Sports Omelette: President Trump loses signed Tim Tebow helmet amid charity allegations
Mets GM Brodie Van Wagenen: Tim Tebow to start season in Triple-A
New York Mets general manager Brodie Van Wagenen has stated that Tim Tebow will start the season with Triple-A Syracuse. Van Wagenen revealed Tebow’s immediate future in the Mets organization during an appearance Wednesday on WFAN. Perhaps even more intriguing, Van Wagenen suggests that if Tebow can continue his development at Triple-A and make significant strides, the football player-turned minor leaguer could end up on Mets manager Mickey Callaway’s big-league roster.“If Tim Tebow is the best offensive player in Triple-A at that point, he’s going to be in Mickey’s lineup,” Van Wagenen said, via the New York Daily News.The first-year general manager, it merits noting, previously served as Tebow's agent before joining the Mets organization.Before the regime change in the Mets’ front office, it had been expected that Tebow would return to the minors and continue his late-blooming professional baseball career. It certainly appears … [Read more...] about Mets GM Brodie Van Wagenen: Tim Tebow to start season in Triple-A
