Aaron Hernandez was apparently in a bar fight in Gainesville in 2007. Who broke up the fight? Tim Tebow.

Late Monday evening, the Wall Street Journal reported that Aaron Hernandez, currently held in prison on a murder charge, was part of a bar brawl as a 17-year-old in Gainesville where he ruptured a man's ear drum. But the WSJ left out the juiciest part of the story: Tim Tebow was there too.

[*Waits for everyone to finish gasping in shock*]

Yes, according to police records, via the Orlando Sentinel, Tebow was present at the bar when Hernandez was involved in a bar fight.

"Tebow stated that he witnessed the dispute," the officer wrote. "Tebow stated that he went over to try to help resolve the conflict."

Tebow apparently "urged Hernandez to leave peacefully" and tried to figure out how to get the bar bill paid.

And the current Patriots tight end was also present when the former Patriots tight end was interviewed with police a few hours later, assuring them that Urban Meyer was informed of the incident (I wonder if he'll want to talk about that?)

For whatever it's worth, Tebow would've been between 19 and 20 at the time of the incident -- he was born in August 1987, the incident occurred 20 years later. It's probably not worth much, though, since many bars allow patrons to enter if they're over 18.

That doesn't really help Hernandez though, since he was 17 at the time. Although it's certainly possible that the "bar" in question is a restaurant and doesn't require customers to be a certain age.

The real point is that Tebow was in a bar! as this Hernandez legal process unfolds, we are going to find out about every single time he even got within arm's length of John Law. It shouldn't reflect directly on him, nor should it give us the benefit of magical hindsight, nor should it affect the outcome of his trial.

It's just the grim reality of being famous, having a troubled past and facing murder charges in today's world.
