    Tim Tebow is amused and disturbed by reports there was a bounty on his head.

    The former Florida quarterback on Thursday laughed off a report that he was the target of a $5,000 bounty in 2008 from a former University of Miami booster who is at the center of the school's salacious scandal.

    "I didn't know about that" bounty, Tebow said, chuckling. "It's funny, though."

    Tebow, who's now a second-year backup with the Denver Broncos, said he doesn't remember any unnecessarily rough hits from the Hurricanes.

    "That was a fun game, I remember that," Tebow said. "That was my only opportunity to play the Canes, but it was a lot of fun. Good memories from that game."

    And why not? Tebow threw for 256 yards and two TDs and ran 13 times for 55 yards in Florida's 26-3 win over Miami on Sept. 6, 2008.

    And he wasn't knocked out by any big hits.
