This week, Sam Bradford won the Heisman trophy, even though he didn’t get the most first-place votes.  Last year’s winner Tim Tebow finished in third place despite getting the most first-place votes.  According to the Associated Press, not since 1956 had a player drawn the most first-place votes and finished third. 

So, ironically, Tim Tebow ultimately gets “The Heisman” by NOT winning the Heisman.  Funny when you think about it - if it’s not funny, ask a sports fan what I’m talking about.
