Your second consecutive underwear-related post, this time featuring Tim Tebow

Hmmm.

After all the Lingerie Football League stuff (Northern Delights, by the way, has to be the leader in the clubhouse for the name contest, yes?) yesterday, we offer a little something for those who like this sort of thing. Via ESPN.com:

Tim Tebow will make his commercial debut next week as the first professional athlete to model Jockey underwear since Jim Palmer in 1980, when the former Baltimore Orioles pitcher wore the Jockey Elance brief, according to a spokesman for the company.

Tebow will be wearing Jockey Staycool products and he will be featured in a blitz of magazine ads and television appearances in the coming days.

"People may say it's underwear, but everyone wears underwear -- it's not like I'm doing something risque," Tebow said this week from his home in Denver. "I wouldn't do anything that goes against what I stand for. The whole campaign is very classy."

And tastefully done, hopefully.
