I would not pay that much even if this guy had played for Florida State.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- For the last couple of months, Tim Tebow has been hard at work, lifting weights and getting into shape for a career in the NFL. Saturday afternoon his throwing arm got a much different work out.

For four hours the former Florida Gator quarterback signed autographs and posed for pictures with fans. The event was held inside Palm Beach Autographs in the Avenues Mall.

June Bailey said meeting the signal caller was something she'd been looking forward to. "I got to shake his hand and it was really a thrill," she said. "He is a wonderful person."

The event was Tebow's first public event since finishing his run at the University of Florida. Fans paid $160 for an autograph and brought a variety of items for him to sign as well 75.00 dollars for a picture with him.

I will never understand why people do that.

Autographs don't do anything for me, and I don't get star-struck that easily unless it's someone like Anna Kournikova giving me a lap dance.
