"He's what you want in an offseason program—working hard, competing with the guy in the weight room," said Sanchez. "This is a big, strong guy, so it's good for me."

Mark Sanchez is super happy Tim Tebow is breathing down his neck his new best buddy backup QB, and he wants the whole world to know it. “He’s been as advertised, as good of a guy, if not better, than anybody said,” Sanchez told the Post. “So, he’s been a great addition so far. I’m thrilled to work with him.”

They text message, they trade energy drink secrets, and Sanchez has nothing to be insecure about: “From a competitor standpoint, he’s great,” Sanchez said. “He’s what you want in an offseason program—working hard, competing with the guy in the weight room. This is a big, strong guy, so it’s good for me." See: Tebow is so great at spotting Sanchez. Why do you people have such a hard time believing that Sanchez loves having him around?

Tebow has more pressing concerns than Sanchez's ego and weight-training exercises: he needs somewhere to live! And according to CBS, he has his eye on Hoboken, NJ. Well, that's at least what their source—a man named “Charlie,” known as the mayor of Hoboken because he is the local dog walker—told them. If Charlie says it's so, then it must be.
