Humor: Top 10 headlines for Tim Tebow's trade to the Jets

As soon as the news broke that Tim Tebow had been traded to the Jets, most people wondered how this would work with Mark Sanchez already established as the starting quarterback. As someone who worked in journalism, I wondered how the NY tabloids were going to headline the story.

Tabloids, not the supermarket variety, in New York are famous (or infamous, depending on your perspective) for their pity, funny and sometimes biting headlines. The NY Daily News and the NY Post regularly find a unique way to capture the story and grab the attention of a busy New Yorker walking down the street past a newspaper stand.

With that in mind, here are the top 10 headlines that should have been used for the Tebow to the Jets story.
