<blockquote><p>Tebow is the first college football analyst hired for the SEC Network.</p></blockquote>
<p>If you weren&#8217;t already sick of him, ESPN pretty much guarantees you&#8217;re going to be soon enough.</p>
<blockquote><p>Through a multi-year agreement, Tebow’s primary role will be as an analyst for <i>SEC Nation</i>, the network’s traveling pregame show that will originate from a different SEC campus each week beginning August 28, 2014. In the months leading up to launch and after, he will contribute to a variety of ESPN platforms including <i>SportsCenter,</i> ESPN Radio, and the network’s Heisman Trophy coverage, offering in-depth perspective as a legendary Southeastern Conference player.</p>
<p>On Monday, Jan. 6, Tebow will make his first appearance as an ESPN analyst during pregame coverage of the 2013 VIZIO BCS National Championship. He will contribute to the 9 a.m. ET edition of <i>SportsCenter</i>, <i>College Football Live</i> (3 p.m.) and <i>College GameDay Built by The Home Depot</i> (7 p.m.). He will also be part of studio coverage for the new College Football Playoff (semifinals and championship game), which begins next season.</p></blockquote>
<p>Hoo, boy.  Overexposed much?</p>
<p>There is, though, one potential fly in the ointment.</p>
<blockquote><p>“I am so excited that ESPN has given me this incredible opportunity,” said Tebow. “When I was six years old I fell in love with the game of football, and while I continue to pursue my dream of playing quarterback in the NFL, this is an amazing opportunity to be part of the unparalleled passion of college football and the SEC.”</p></blockquote>
<p>I&#8217;m guessing the WWL isn&#8217;t losing much sleep over the possibility.</p>
