Lolo Jones and Tim Tebow Linked by Abstinence Vows
Lolo Jones, the U.S. Olympic hurdler, recently told HBO's "Real Sports" that she doesn't believe in premarital sex; leading many to draw comparisons between her and New York Jets new player Tim Tebow.
Media outlets have jumped upon the comparisons suggesting that Tebow and Jones should become an item. Tebow's teammates used the suggestion to poke fun at him earlier this week. It has been reported that when the NY Jets quarterback came to practice on Thursday, his teammates began chanting "Lo-lo! Lo-lo!"
Jones found the funny side of the media reports, joking back herself on her Twitter page: "Ask Tebow if he wants a glass of milk. If he says yes, ask him if he prefers chocolate. If he says no, then no more Tebow date suggestions."
