Did you hear that the New York Mets signed Tim Tebow. Yep, they did.

Some people say that it was for p.r. Some people say it was so he can be a motivational force for young Mets players. Some people — get this — think he’s actually capable of becoming a major league hitter one day. Can you believe such things?

Well, people believe a lot of things. But I prefer to believe the most obvious things when it comes to explaining weird phenomena. Like this:

He just reported today, too. And of course the jerseys are on sale at Port. St. Lucie:
