Tebow! (Page 13)

We could avoid a lot of this by just having the top two seeds play each other for the Superbowl. That system works so well in college football

Tebow frowns upon excessive quoting.

That could work.  Just have to make sure the teams take a month and a half off between the regular season and Superbowl...

I really don't are for the guy.  He uses the religion thing to gain attention IMO.  He's really not that good of a QB.

He only mentions God when he wins. He neglects to mention him when he loses, God gave him the power to win and also the power to be terrible. A little hypocritical not to mention God. Heck, he could say "I thank God for teaching me xyz", but no... he just leaves it out. I love at the end of the Pit game, he was running down the field and almost forgot to do it "pose", stopped knelt down and posed for pictures and kept running.

So he did all that missionary work (prior to any college ball playing), to "gain attention"?  Wow, how cynical...

Tebow is definitely not at his optimal race weight. 

That is not true.  Maybe those are the soundbites that the media uses in your part of the country.  But win or lose, he always thanks God.  He protrays a positive image for the NFL and his foundation helps poor children in need of medical care around the world. 

I almost started a rant...but I don't want to be the person that gets this thread pulled.

Wrong.

I saw some footage yesterday from draft day. He's leaner now than he was back then, at least in his face. Losing that baby fat.

I don't like him but I don't hate him and if nothing else he is fun to watch and that is why I watch the NFL in the first place. I just don't care to hear any of his interviews.

Now that John Parr has re-recorded St. Elmo's Fire with the lyrics Tim Tebow's Fire, it's official.  Tebow is the greatest.  Although it's a little disingenous to not change the line to "I can feel Tim Tebow's fire burning inside me".

That's a pretty unfair assesment. Even for me. Someone that will never be accused of being religous.

We have to sit there and watch non stop T.O. coverage for two years. We have to endure Farve watch for 3 years and then Farve tally wacker gate. Why??? Because that is what the media chooses to crap down our thraot because they have nothig better to do with their time. controversial ratings grabs.

LOTS of players pray before and during games. LOTS of players "give glory to God". LOTS of Christians in sports are not shy about their beliefs.... But Tebow kneels and the media choose to cram it down our throats 24/7 cause they have nothing better to do with their time. Tebow didn't ask for it. And branding him an attention w*ore because of it is pretty unfair. But hey... we could be watching the latest NFL rapist, drug dealing, wife beater news 24/7 which would SOOO much better.

Clearly they are the same person.  You have never seen them in the same place at the same time.  Think about it.  

This Saturday night Tebow will be singing a different tune:

Life is bigger,  it's bigger than you And you are not me The lengths that I will go to The distance in your eyes Oh no, I've said too much I set it up

That's me in the corner That's me in the spotlight, losing my religion Trying to keep up with you And I don't know if I can do it Oh no, I've said too much

I haven't said enough I thought that I heard you laughing I thought that I heard you sing I think, I thought I saw you try

Every whisper of every waking hour I'm choosing my confessions Trying to keep an eye on you Like a hurt lost and blinded fool Oh no, I've said too much, I set it up

Consider this the hint of the century Consider this the slip that brought me To my knees failed, what if all these fantasies Come flailing around? Now I've said too much

I thought that I heard you laughing I thought that I heard you sing I think I thought I saw you try But that was just a dream That was just a dream

I dont think that would be fair for Tebow, not even god tries to cross with Chuck Norris.  The questions would be:  Who can give a better circumcision, Tebow or Norris.  You have to take Norris out of his element to have a chance of beating him at something.

No way man.  I refuse to believe that.  That's has to be just some personal spin from you.  Unless someone does a study and compiles video evidence, I choose not even consider that a possibility.

I'm huge Denver fan, and I like Tebow.  He's fun to watch.  I also know, unless he improves a LOT, mostly in his passing, he will never be an elite quaterback.  BUT, he's smart enough and athletic enough to be capable to figure it out.  I have already seen imporvement in the last 12 games.  He probably never needed to rely on those aspects in college.

But to accuse him of being a bandwagon bible thumper?  I'm sure you don't have any evidence of that.  Maybe ONE interview you say where he didn't see it or they cut it, and you hang your hat on that.  I'm just going by my gut feeling on that.

I'm not saying that he is a bad person, he probably is one of the better people that walk this earth, I just don't agree with throwing religion into everything. If it wasn't asked in an interview, then I don't think he should bring it up. He is just very in your face with it, and that is where my turn off is from him, not as a person as a whole.

I also agree that he is an elite athlete, I just don't believe that he is being utilized the best with his skillset, I don't know where he could be used, but QB is probably not the best.

What I am referring to, is probably publicity/press spin on all his interviews. The only one that I remember where it seemed like he was putting up an image was this interview that he started a sentence and then backtracked and said "Oh.. I mean, first I have to thank god". The media can spin whatever they want and make people look how ever they want them to look. I do think it is a nice change to have a "good" person for the NFL/sports in general to focus on, instead of all the criminals.

I'm not putting him down as a person, it just seems like (probably media edited) he is cramming religion down our throats.

Question: If there was a clone of Tebow, but a different religion, do you think the media would portray them the same way if they were Muslim/Jewish/insert religion here?
