LISTEN: Mike Francesa Calls Tim Tebow The ‘Kardashian Of Sports’

NEW YORK (WFAN) — Mike Francesa doesn’t care much about Tim Tebow’s pursuit of a baseball career, and he’s glad his WFAN audience doesn’t seem to be that interested, either.

Francesa said he is bewildered by the attention the quarterback-turned-baseball-hopeful is receiving this week. The Heisman Trophy winner and former NFL quarterback signed a minor league contract with the Mets earlier this month and began working out with the team’s instructional league Monday in Port St. Lucie, Florida.

Meanwhile, Tebow’s No. 15 Mets jersey has become the top seller on MLBShop.
