Thread: Tebow does it again

Tebow and the Broncos were THE luckiest SOB's in the history of football. Thankfully it's over.

Brady certainly put on a quarterback clinic for young Mr. Tebow yesterday. I hope the Superbowl matchup is Packers/Patriots. Go Pats!

That said, the Tebow story definitely generated bucket loads of positive press for the league. Just ask Jack Johnson.

He is singing nonsensical love songs to Jeebus constantly. And contionuously telling his teamates 'God has this' and all kinds of other similar things. That HAS to wear on folks and the fact that a lot of the time they show him on the bench by himself certainly speaks to that. I have nothing against the guy having faith but at some point it becomes irritating and he comes off a little mental. Seriously, if you think I am exaggerating watch the show.

Yeah, what happened to the good old days when quarterbacks sexually assaulted college girls in restrooms in backwoods bars in Georgia? When they sent cell phone pictures of their wang to the gals in the front office? When players had to supplement their NFL income by selling cocaine? When players shot themselves in the leg with the gun they brought into a nightclub? And all the media and fans had the common goal of defending them. Waaaay better than this God and Jesus stuff.

I don't get this "he's not an NFL QB" stuff either. He wins the Heisman. There are t-shirts made saying that Superman wears Tebow underwear. The buzz is all about Tebow. Then he appears in a pro-life commercial that airs during the Super Bowl and suddenly everyone discovers that he's incapable of tying his own shoelaces, let alone playing in the NFL. Yeah, right.

I understand your sarcasm and it's not lost on me, but addiction of any sort is just that and baby, this kid is hooked on Jesus. Yeah, it's a little less egregious than rape/drugs/guns/thuggery but if you saw the footage you might agree with me that the kid could use a REAL friend and his constant acapella hymnal singing while staring blankly into space, or better yet, as his teammates walk quietly away is the sign of a troubled mind. He's one step away from being in the stands with a multicolored fro-wig and a John 3:16 sign. I wish him well and I hope he can find some way to live a little bit for himself instead of his imaginary friend in the sky.

And by the way, his skill set is not conducive to being a professional NFL quarterback. It's just a statement of fact. Can he develop into one, well, if anyone can it's him and his tremendous work ethic. When they won it was through defense and just enough offense, when they didn't...well, it was usually a blowout.

p.s. slightly off topic, but if you think a fervent devotion to religion has never hurt anyone...I have a couple million people sprinkled throughout history that might disagree.
