Tebow prompts counterfeiting, random fires

Denver Broncos QB Tim Tebow seems to garner attention everywhere he goes these days. It seems that the attention doesn’t end at the US border, China loves them some Tim Tebow as well. China loves Tebow so much that they are now starting to flood the market with black market jerseys.

US Customs agents seized what is believed to be over $8,000.00 worth of counterfeit jerseys bound for flea markets in the Tampa Bay Florida region. Border Protection spokesman Daniel O’Keefe when speaking to the media said,  “A major area of concern with clothing such as these counterfeit jerseys, is flammability.”

Is what???? Flammability? This is why Border Patrol agents are taking them off the streets? Flammability? Will you spontaneously combust if you wear one? The NFL is a stickler about officially licensed merchandise and routinely conducts sweeps of flea markets and vendors.

Tebow’s jersey has been fire for the league, setting records after the draft last month.

So if you find a Tebow jersey for 40.00, watch out, you might go Richard Pryor.
