New Jersey -- the New York Jets today introduced the newest member of gangrene that none of them Tim Tebow.

But it's still frankly unclear what role the former Denver Broncos quarterback will even play.

The team held a news conference -- its fieldhouse that nobody from the organization is there really is they're -- off somewhere else.

Who has all the reporters who showed up couldn't fit into the press room they have this beautiful new practice facility there.

Legions of fans have been snatching up TiVo's Green and white number fifteen Jersey and we look at this.

That doesn't really do it justice you can't really tell on TV how massive this thing is but that's the famed Carnegie deli in Manhattan.

I met always wanting to capture a moment of excitement and public relations opportunities it has created this the jets -- It's about three and a half pounds.

Of corned beef pastrami roast beef American cheese lettuce and tomatoes.

On white bread here -- white bread and there's a reason for that -- cities honored to get all the attention.

First and foremost I just when I think the Broncos for my time in Denver.

It was an amazing time I think my teammates and fans are being such great teammates -- that's -- fans.

And the sense looking for -- in my time here in New York in my time as it's dead I'm so honored and humbled to be -- yet I'm so thankful that they wanted me and I am so excited I -- my teammates.

Well -- Rex Ryan that -- head coach there.

Yesterday suggested that Tebow could play a position other than quarterback he kept referring to Tebow as a football player which he -- -- -- can play other roles.

Jonathan Hunt with a news he's live at that jets' training facility out there and apparently he is the only human being there I gather it wasn't.

The most controversial press conference actually watched it so I know wasn't controversial but I -- some of the questions that he got.

-- -- I tell you for a a news conference in which the only speaker said the woods excited or exciting some 45 times.

In 32 minutes it was really.

Any thing -- Tim Tebow proved himself to be a monster.

And avoiding controversy especially the one involving whether he might someday challenge not Sanchez for the starting quarterback position with some.

But I think the exciting thing is that Myanmar have a great relationship.

We have had a good relationship for the last three years I think.

Now we've been friends.

We text back and forth we've talked -- -- And you know we have -- had a great relationship and a great working relationship and I think we'll have a lot of fun together.

I tell you visit efficiency is a process ever matches his efficiency is a question -- He truly will be one of the great -- -- -- There are suggestions here around the cynical New York City area that this could just be some quote a gimmick.

Yet you know I put in that point that smug giants fans like you -- as saying exactly that is what he said.

-- A lot of giants fans have been having some fun what they're saying it's another example of the jets being very good to winning the offseason publicity -- also but it's Super Bowls.

Wonder if you have a message for those less than kind giants fans.

And -- I really.

I think the I'll leave.

And talk to other people I'm not qualified to getting that are you have I'm just excited to be here and yes to congratulate the giants young when he -- to -- on having a great team and yeah I wish him nothing but the best as well.

But I tell you -- all this talk of the jets and the giants is actually completely irrelevant my sources tell me.

The my beloved Redskins are -- -- to win the Super Bowl next year without G three as quarterback.

-- sources by the -- mainly voices in my.

Head yes indeed they are you talk -- offseason.

I mean -- Redskins fan and god bless the Redskins fans whatever but it pretty.

And we don't -- in the -- expressly and every April yet variable that the best thing Johnson thing.

Public relations consultant president of emerald partners Fraser's -- tells with a he's author of a new book rethinking reputation act.

They're good at this PR thing nobody's better at it in 3130 as I call -- Tim Tebow 3130 loser in his national championship -- -- the Ole miss rebels in the swamp you may remember they were twelve and one that you.

He -- murder on the giant question terrific what a charmer.

I -- you -- I haven't seen a -- I wish them all the best I always seen a personality like that since Randy.

A law here's a doll hair and other -- -- and here's what's gonna happen a human I want to hear this -- One thing it's gonna be one of two things is not going to be a middle ground one it could be an unmitigated disaster -- like everybody thinks or two.

This could be the greatest revelation.

The greatest innovation in the history of professional football two quarterbacks.

Equal.

Abilities and complimentary abilities sharing time not a back up not a starter but a one.

And one day.

Setting football NFL precedent PR of course they've already won.

This could be his story.

The football fans here that.

Techniques that he's a decent.

I don't believe that one word of that but that -- that matter what I believe we'll see what happens.

Used to be -- -- as a woman.

Used to being if you are starting pitcher in baseball eucharist nine and that's true today you go five innings a hundred pitches you're out of the game.

And there's something called the middle reliever who comes in -- makes millions of dollars and faces six batters.

One -- one a quarterback.

Let's see what happens to -- Is Carnegie deli extravaganza here by the way this is how big this thing it.

I mean look at that this is a massive sandwich -- only twenty dollars and point two cents which is Sanchez is number plus -- number plus dollar.

But I think this amount of well if that's what they said I don't know how they really come up with a -- -- this sandwich.

You can't even hold this that it that the card Carnegie deli -- nation.

It's involving your -- in Frazier free sandwiches for the -- -- the biggest change in the kitchen table who makes in New York right Monday.
