    Athletes We'd Like To See Run for Office

    Hang on to your hats, sports fans — Tim Tebow might be your next city councilman: The 25-year-old New York Jets quarterback recently stated in an ESPN interview that he'd love to make a difference in the world of politics. "It won't be anytime soon in my future," stated Tebow, "but it'll be something I'll at least look at and consider one day." But would Tebow actually make a good politician? He already knows how to call the shots and make quick decisions, and as we've previously pointed out, he cleans up nicely for public appearances. In any case, Tebow's possible political aspirations have got us thinking: Which other athletes might be fun to see on an upcoming ballot?
