Tebow Mania!!!

[phranchk]

I don't think people are offended by Tebow, they're offended by the media coverage.

He's a great athlete, but a bad QB. At least a passing QB. Doesn't mean he won't improve over time. It is very early in his career after all.

Tom Brady is not a total POS.

SO not. I am loving that the Pats are clownin' on the Broncos at this point and that Tom is showing folks who have lost their fucking minds with Tebow mania what a real QB looks like.

Neither is Peyton Manning. There are plenty of good kids in the NFL. Usually you have to get in trouble to get the kind of coverage Tebow is getting.

I love Peyton. He is a personal fave of mine and I have rooted for him since the beginning of his career and by extension the Colts (when they're not playing the Bears or standing in the Bears way of anything, heh). It's a real shame for the NFL what has happened with his neck the past two years.

As far as this game, I'm torn. I mean I am friends with one of Tom's sisters and it is Tom Fucking Brady.....with tons of playoff experience. Anyone who thought Denver was just going to go to New England and move up and down the field was surely kidding themselves. Doesn't mean I am not rooting for Tebow to do well, or at least make a decent showing.

I'm a huge Brady fan and he is putting on a clinic right now.

Damn skippy! {{claps}} Dude has LONNNNG since written his first-ballot entry into the HoF---that he keeps busting throwing ass when not injured just keeps adding glory on top of the glory.

Also, speaking of Peyton a bit ago. He also has the distinction of starring in hands-down one the funniest sports-related things EVER on SNL with his faux-United Way commercial. Classic.

Agreed.





Right now the frontpage at Massholesports is all Brady-Tebow centric and is fucking HYSTERICAL---the jpegs AND the commentary: http://www.massholesports.com/

I'll root for Tebow any day over his opponent last week (Big Ben), who has been accused of being a womanizer, and is an overall asswipe.

The media knows they can cater and twist this story because it brings attention. Good for Tebow and his brief run. He's painfully below average on the football field, and it's good to see him and Denver defy odds as far as they did.

I just have the desire to be right about Gator QBs so I want him to fail.

I'd like these super-religious athletes to also acknowledge their deity when they lose. Praising them only when you win or succeed just seems insincere to me. Personally I think crediting invisible sky man for your success is selling yourself short.

I think we learned a valuable lesson this weekend. Tebow should spend more time working on his passing game and less time on one knee. Then maybe some day he could be as good as Brady.

Apparently you have NEVER seen Tebow in a post-game interview when they lose.

 

[roshinaya]

No, I have not, so he must be the exception to the rule.

I have to chuckle when I hear others are so offended by Tebow.



It really is amusing to see them get so worked up.

I really don't care what he says about his religion or thanking god whenever he wins or whatever. None of that bothers me, none of that matters. What does amuse me is that he seems to be a player that makes people dumb or sound dumber about the sport. Not just fans, but people who are supposed to be paid for analyzing the game. Like TV play by play guys. It's cringe worthy. Because they have to stick to a narrative, and the narrative is the mysterious force behind Tebow and his "miracles". It's just marketing. And now Elway is trapped in it, trapped and cornered in by football stupid.
