Tim Tebow used an Easter sermon to poke fun at one of his former teams, the New York Jets.

The NFL quarterback turned New York Mets minor leaguer mentioned the Jets while discussing "the greatest trade in the history of the world" during a livestreamed Easter service for Passion City Church.

"There have been some really big trades," Tebow said Sunday. "The Red Sox traded Babe Ruth for $100,000. How's that for a trade? Wayne Gretzky was traded for a couple of scrubs. How's that for a trade?

"I got traded to the Jets. How's that for a trade? That didn't work out for anybody. When's the last time a Jets trade worked out? Anyway, that's beside the point."

The Denver Broncos traded Tebow and a seventh-round draft pick to the Jets in 2012 in exchange for a fourth- and sixth-round pick. Tebow appeared in 12 games for the Jets that season before the team released him in April 2013.
