Anyone else think....OH IDK.....it's a little racist that all of a sudden were asking whether God is helping Tebow because it's a white guy that is praying?
It used to be a running joke, at least in my circles, that you get the black athlete after any touchdown or after winning a game, or after winning a boxing match that goes "First of I just wanna give all glory to God, Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior...". You could set your watch by it.
Now that it's a white dude asking all of a sudden God is listening? Come on....
lol

I haven't read really much of anything in this thread but id like to say...
i dislike tebow not because of tebow...but the media. they play him up, play him up, talk about him all the time, play him up and then (of course) not many ppl the media does that with actually turns out to be THAT good. So its almost always a let down for me.
Beyond that...I get tired of hearing about the same person so it almost makes me root against them.
i think tebow is a decent/good quarterback for his level of experience and think he seems like a classy guy..
However the media makes me hate him. sort of how they make me hate tom brady, the patriots in general, etc. the media needs to STFU and let the guys play. not ram them down our throats.
I also hate MNF because its always who's the most popular from the year before, the matchups suck, and the commentators just jerk off one of the star players all game. this is especially true with quarterbacks like Tom Brady, P. Manning, E. Manning, Favre, etc.
it gets old.

Why blame the media?, all they do is tell people what they want to hear based on numbers. If they didn't have an audience, you wouldn't be hearing about it.

i blame the media because they are the 1s who beat it in our heads. it gets old. there are 32 NFL teams but it seems like its always the Tom Brady/Tim Tebow hour instead.
its kind of like if i got online everyday and started talking about 1 team or 1 player. you'd all eventually get tired of hearing it and tell me to STFU and that the guy im talking bout isnt that great and so on.
im tired of hearing bout the patriots. im tired of all the primetime games consisting of the patriots, the colts (wont have to worry about that anymore), the saints, the eagles, and the packers against the losers of the week. idk how many primetime games ive seen where they put up these good teams that get beat to death against some team that doesn't have a chance against them.
then during the game the good team gets out to a huge lead and the commentators just stroke the star player's ego all game long.
im tired of seeing the SAME teams ALL the time.
primetime games (SNF, MNF) should be made up of the best match ups instead of a showcase for the best team.
i get excited when new teams make the playoffs these days (ie. the Lions, texans, 9ers, etc) cuz thats the only way im guaranteed to not hear as much about tom brady and so on because i noticed the nfl tends to take the playoff teams and ram em down our throats the next year on the primetime games. i think thats wrong and also why half of the primetime games suck.
the best games of the year (imo) are on during the day on sundays. i have the nfl sunday ticket and the redzone channel and in 1 sunday ive seen more competitive games than ive seen for the whole year on MNF/SNF. rarely is a primetime game very good anymore. im surprised it hasn't hurt their ratings to be honest.
i think the NFL should try to make schedules that provide for the most exciting/closely contested games rather than put on whoever no one in the media can shut up about.
if they wanna give the patriots on MNF/SNF 10 times during the year thats fine...but give them worthy opponents so we can see a good game rather than turning off the tv at halftime because theres a 20+ point difference.
imo the NFL has really been slacking in the last 5 or so years. like how on thanksgiving we always have to watch the lions and the packers. historically the lions have been terrible and the packers have been really good...so its usually a 1 sides blowout. yeah theres something to be thankful for. now the lions are getting better so it could change but im just saying. i could have said the same about how they always forced the skins/cowboys game down our throat every thanksgiving but that game was usually more competitive.
ive been a nfl fan for the past nearly 20 years..im not saying i know everything but i certainly remember better times.

The NFL doesn't care about old school fans like you and I, their target market in now Europe...and the Rams will be the first to go. The Pats don't play very good D, a Ravens/Giants match-up would have been much better. I doubt I'll watch much anyways, the game is no longer football so I moved on to the NHL/NBA. And even the NBA has changed. If the Bulls played their 90's style of ball today, all 5 starters would foul out.

No other athlete is as in your face with it as Tebow is. That's pretty much an undisputed fact.
There is a difference between mentioning God once in a post game interview and praying 10 times per fucking game.

I actually thought that stretch of games where Denver was winning, in what was really almost unbelievable ways, was damn entertaining. Say what you will about his abilities but he does have a special "something", at least during that stretch, that HELPED his team to win. He definitely wasn't the only reason they won and in some of the games it seemed like the ONLY reason they won was because of the defense, but still it was kind of magical.
I know watching several of those games, especially after they'd won four in a row, I just shook my head after they won and had to admit that he definitely brought an intangible that mad those games entertaining to watch. So for that alone I thought he was good for the game and made for a very interesting story this year.
It's also pretty hard not to like the kid. His teammates like him and he does try hard to encourage them when things don't go well. He was also very respectful and answered all questions fully at the after game press conferences. That was nice to see in this day and age. Much better than the surly and aloof behavior you frequently see.
So yeah I liked what he brought this year. Is he as good as Cam? Oh hell no. But does he have "something"? Yeah he does. Will he have a great future in the NFL, who knows, probably not. But this year, during that stretch, it was fun to watch and I like the kid.
