Much Ado About Tebow

October 10, 2009
To Tebow or not to Tebow? That is the question hanging over the entire sports world.

To Tebow or not to Tebow? That is the question hanging over the entire sports world.

The Florida Gators had last week off, though you wouldn’t know it. Following the lead of ESPN, where Tom Rinaldi was apparently assigned to Tebow’s bedside, sports news shows, reporters, etc., provided us with wall-to-wall coverage of No. 15’s every move reminiscent of The Weather Channel preparing the Gulf Coast for a hurricane. The big question: Will he play against LSU? Will he practice? Will he watch film? Will he walk on water again? If he’s so great, why can’t he heal himself? The last one is my question.

Some would say that Urban Meyer didn’t sell out Tebow against Kentucky, that instead Tebow WANTED to play and that’s why he was in the game even with the Gators’ big lead over the Wildcats. My two observations on that: 1. Apparently Tebow isn’t very smart. I mean, he’s so sick he travels SEPARATELY from the rest of the team, but he’s going to play to the point of a) exhaustion or b) injury because he WANTS to. 2. Urbie isn’t a very good coach. I mean, if Tebow is so sick that he travels SEPARATELY from the rest of the team, it seems like you’d pull him (more…)

Breaking News: College Football Cancelled!

Kryptonite in their pockets? Or Tebow just happy to see them?

Kryptonite in their pockets? Or Tebow just happy to see them?

Attention, college football fans, the fate of the rest of the season, nay, the very future of our beloved sport, hangs in the balance. When will Tim Tebow return after suffering an apparent concussion in the Florida-Kentucky game? Only Florida fans and of course his man-crushing pals in the media really care. That look you saw on the Gator faces in the stands in Lexington looked familiar. I believe we saw that several weeks ago when Sooners QB Sam Bradford got injured against BYU. It has really got to suck when you realize your team is built mainly around one player.

As only Tebow could, he overcame great odds to even start against the Wildcats. Suffering from a “respiratory illness,” Tebow probably had a few tissues tucked in his pads to blow his nose on the sideline. Great odds, I tell you. Back in the day when he suited up for the Tide, Bear Bryant (more…)

Tebowisms: Why He’ll Never Measure Up

Tebow Can't Accomplish Enough to Impress Me

Tebow Can't Accomplish Enough to Impress Me

If you have a pulse but don’t know who Tim Tebow is, you should consider yourself lucky. I wish I didn’t know of him. But sportscasters and analysts, particularly men, will not allow this to happen. Any game in which Tebow plays, or even other games where they can work in references to the love of their life, becomes a three-hour commentary on the “virtues” of Tebow. It’s almost as annoying as the Ole Miss – and now New York Giants – games showing shots of Archie and Olivia Manning, and now wifey Abby Manning, after Eli’s every play. FYI, I tune in to watch football, not for a love-fest over a QB and/or his family sitting in the stands.

The Tebow man-crush has manifested itself in the creation of “Tebowisms,” ridiculous statements extolling impossible characteristics of a flash-in-the-pan QB who only has four years of eligibility, and that’s quickly running out. The sportscasters on College Football Live on ESPN were falling all over themselves to “get the scoop” on Urban Meyer’s and Tim Tebow’s favorite Tebowism, which are revealed in the list below. That is, if you can make it all the way through without getting sick.

I can’t say I’m all that impressed with Tim Tebow. I mean, who lets an unranked Ole Miss team beat you on (more…)

The Plot Thickens in SEC Votegate

August 31, 2009

Apparently, ESPN feared the end of the world was nigh when Tim Tebow was not a unanimous first team SEC selection. As expected, ESPN tried to spin this into the biggest story since Watergate, and Pat Forde played Woodward AND Bernstein.

Pat Forde, please don’t put words in my mouth. Yes, SEC football is a big deal, but I personally don’t think nobody is a bigger deal than Tim Ego. The unbridled man-crush you and your media pals have on him (more…)
