Tim Tebow Girlfriend? Lolo Jones Claims On Twitter That Jets QB Has Secret Relationship

U.S. Olympian Lolo Jones has been beset with people wanting to play matchmaker ever since she appeared on HBO's "Real Sports With Bryant Gumbel" and discussed her decision -- and struggle -- to wait until marriage before having sex. Among those who think they know just the right guy for the 29-year-old virgin to marry is Nick Mangold (@NickMangold) of the New York Jets.

The Jets' All-Pro center, who was an early NFL adopter of Twitter, tweeted at Jones (@LoloJones) to let her know that he is doing what he can to set her up with teammate Tim Tebow, the devoutly religious quarterback who is perhaps the highest profile virgin in sports.


Nick Mangold
I'm trying to get to accept that he and are a match made in heaven.


Lolo Jones
thanks Nick but i actually heard tebow has a girlfriend he just isn't saying it publicly. the search continues...


Nick Mangold
. I will try to get some anwers and I'll report back. No worries

For those wondering what sort of knowledge Lolo has about Tebow's love life, rest easy. Mangold is on the case. What is not a secret is that Jets players have openly campaigned for Tebow and Lolo to get together. During the first Jets' OTA open to the media, reporters heard Tebow serenaded with chants of "Lolo Lolo" when he entered the locker room. News of those chants reached Lolo, by way of Twitter, and she seemed open to the idea of saying (or singing) "Hello" to Tebow.

"It's now my new goal," Mangold said about pairing off Tebow and Lolo during an interview with NFL Total Access. "This is how I'm going to spend my spring. Usually I try and do a little golfing, but that isn't going so well. So now it's matchmaking."

During a recent interview with E! News, the U.S. hurdler joked about needing a celebrity crush and wanting a date after the Olympics.

"I should actually have one of these, so that you guys can contact him and tell him that I need a date," Jones told E!, per the Daily News. "Whatever actor is watching this and you're single and you are hot, I am single as well. Hit me up after the Olympics."

Maybe she should be a bit more focused on her training, so she doesn't tighten up again before the finish line. And she probably should heed the Jets' players' advice; the only other men who are going to want a 29-year-old virgin are knee-deep in oil money.

Hooking up with Tebow would be interesting, which begs the question; who gets to make the first move, if you know what am saying?. As far as the oil Sheikhs, these cats are not interested in talking or cracking hard surfaces, which explains why they head to Vegas for R&R. They love ready made things.

The one that says to equate this to a homosexual coming out to encourage equality and fairness for all.

Lots of female virgins are beat up just for being virgins right? A shamelful history of oppression and predjudice, right?.
Are belittled for it.
Are bullied for it.
Are killed for it.

Feel free to live 100 years ago but don't drag the rest of us back there with you.

John is a good Useful Idiot for Cultural Marxism. John is so indoctrinated he needs to attack you, demean you, and repeat the inculcated assault. Of course, John doesn't know "history." He just uses that word as a cudgel during agitprop. If John wasn't such a Useful Idiot he'd be trolling Muslims.

She is drop-dead gorgeous and a great person. Any man would be absurdly lucky to just have a date with this Ms. Jones. Problem is that so many men today expect to have sex with their SO before getting married, so her strict stance on saving her virginity will lose at least 3/4 of the male population now.
