Even when they don't know they're live on-air, ESPN folks will never stop talking about Tim Tebow.

Hannah Storm and Mark Schlereth were caught having a private discussion while ESPN cameras unknowingly cut to them during the network's Super Bowl media day coverage. Rather than talking about something interesting or relevant, like where to go for dinner in New Orleans or whether Jim Harbaugh still talks to Screech, they were talking about the New York Jets backup quarterback. In January. While at the Super Bowl.

The worst part is that Schlereth seems to be enjoying the conversation. He's whispering about Tebow like a sixth-grade girl telling secrets before homeroom.

Storm isn't really having any of it. She seems to be humoring Schlereth.

Her "wow, that's interesting" comment is spoken like a woman who's had to feign interest in a lot of uninteresting things during her career. Because hearing that Denver Broncos coaches don't think Tim Tebow is the kind of athlete who can go over and play tight end is literally the least interesting thing I've heard all day, and I sat through two hours of ESPN's media day coverage.
