The Patriots wide receiver's wallet and iPod were stolen out of his SUV on Wednesday, but he was "not trippin' " until he realized his Starbucks gold card was missing, too. "I earned the gold card," he said in a video posted on Twitter. "You know how many coffees I've had to drink and lemon loafs I've had to purchase to get to that gold card? I had $220 left on my Starbucks card. Not just any Starbucks card, but a gold Starbucks card." Starbucks customers who use their regular card 30 times a year are eligible for a gold card, which includes free syrup or soy milk upgrades and a free drink every 15th visit.

The Jets quarterback has some competition for the most famous virgin in sports after Olympic hurdler Lolo Jones revealed her chaste status to HBO's "Real Sports." Tebow's Jets teammates let him know it, chanting "Lolo! Lolo!" when he entered the locker room Wednesday, according to Kevin Armstrong of the New York Daily News. But Jones wasn't laughing. In fact, she seemed to have found a kindred spirit in Tebow and suggested via Twitter that they might be able to help each other out. " 'Hello' by Lionel Richie now on repeat on my iPod," she said.
