Tim Tebow has finally caught his big break as the New York Mets have announced today that they’ve just signed him:

I’m very happy for Tebow and I hope it works out for him to get to play on the big stage in the majors. He does have a large frame, hopefully he can turn that into many home runs.
For some reason, however, Shannon Sharpe doesn’t think this is fair:

Tebow has spent his entire career trying to become a quarterback in the NFL. Now that he’s accepted the fact that it isn’t going to happen, he tries out for baseball and actually gets signed. HOW IS THAT NOT FAIR?
I think Sharpe doesn’t like Tebow or just wants to be disagreeable, because his analysis sounds ridiculous.
