New York Jets quarterback Tim Tebow got some sweet swag from the folks at EA Sports -- including mini-helmets signed by fellow Heisman Trophy winners Robert Griffin III and Barry Sanders -- and decided to have some fun with his Twitter followers. He gave the items away Friday via a trivia contest.
The lucky and very quick winner was Daniel Jackson (@jacksond09) from -- of course -- Gainesville, Fla.
Here was Tebow's Gator-themed question and Jackson's answer:
In that game played on Oct. 7, 2006, Tebow, just a freshman, threw two passes both for touchdowns and ran for another score while playing limited snaps behind senior Chris Leak.
At least Tebow made his followers work for that prize. Earlier Friday, @RGIII offered the same swag to one of his followers (winner to be announced Saturday) but made it easier by just asking for a retweet. @BarrySanders made a similar offer to his Twitter followers on Thursday.
Just received this @EANCAAFOOTBALL VIP kit for #NCAAFOOTBALL13 & I have an idea... twitter.com/TimTebow/statu…

Does Jay Carney think he is John Stewart and he can say whatever he wants with no regard for truth or accuracy? no ramifications?
