A.P. / ROME -- Tim Tebow has been offered a four-month contract by the Italian federation for American football.

The Milano Seamen say they would be "more than happy" to sign the free-agent quarterback.

Seamen president Marco Mutti tells The Associated Press, "The offer has been made to his agent and now we're waiting for a response. ... We would be more than happy to have him."

A federation spokesman tells the AP that the offer is for $200,000.

I suggested he could be playing for pizza months ago.

BTW, Playing for Pizza is a short novel written by John Grisham a few years back about a down-and-out NFL quarterback who lands a job playing Italian football. Fun read.

2. Mad props for using "Tebow" and "Se(a)men" in the same paragraph!

3. How the mighty have fallen.

Only Tebow could go from playing for a pro football team to another team abroad for less dough (no pun intended).
