I guess there’s a silver lining for Patriots fans suffering from the big game loss last night in Indianapolis–especially for the male fans. Being a HUGE New England Patriots fan, Maria Menounos made a bet that if the Patriots lost the big game, she would wear a bikini in the middle of Times Square on live TV.  Everybody wins, right?  She made good on that bet….

According to the New York Post, Tim Tebow ignored “hordes of cocktail dress-clad ladies” at an ESPN bash on Friday night to focus on “Extra” host Maria Menounos, 33, who did a Tebow impression in her couture gown while working the red carpet at last month’s Golden Globes Awards.

“He only seemed to have eyes [for her],” relays a snitch, adding that the pair chitchatted for over an hour. “It looked quite flirtatious. They were taking pictures Tebowing together.”

And the Chicago Sun-Times says that during the bash, Tebow was overheard gushing of Menounos, “Wow! She’s not only gorgeous, she’s really sweet, too.”
