ESPN Stinks – Tim Tebow and Brett Favre
I am so sick of Tim Tebow and Brett Favre. Get over it ESPN. Really, is Favre coming out of retirement AGAIN still news? No! Is Tim Tebow really just God incarnate among mortals? No! But I made this little beauty that I like to call “The ESPN Dream.”
ESPN's dream come true...Tebow and Favre spawn!
Yes, hideous, I know, but that is the bastard child of Tim Tebow and Brett Favre from morpthing.com that I just made. I think the anchors and producers at ESPN would have their heads explode if this were possible. I can’t wait to watch Tebow get smothered this year, and here’s why.
Did anyone else wonder why Tebow didn’t enter the draft? He has won the Heisman and been runner up. He has won a (mythical) national championship twice. What more does he have to prove in college football? What more can he do that ESPN would extoll his greatness? Oh wait, he was projected to be a 4th or 5th round draft pick. Could that have had anything to do with it?
The problem is this- Tebow can never play quarterback in the NFL. Running over 200 pound freshmen linebackers is one thing. Trying to run through a 300 pound NFL beastman is another. Ask Steve Young what happens to quarterbacks who try running through people. Tebow knows his game stinks for the NFL. Great in college, not so great pro. And Urban Meyer knows it too.
So think on this. Look at what Tebow has done for Florida. He has brough in revenue, attention, recruits and some hardware (see Heisman and BCS Championship trophies.) Meyer owes him and he knows it. Guess what Tebow’s senior year is going to be? I’ll tell you what, it will be 9-3 because Meyer is going to run a completely new offense. This season will be nothing but a glorified NFL tryout for Tebow. That’s the only reason he stayed. He has to raise his NFL stock. He knows it, Meyer knows it.
So he stayed because Meyer promised to turn him into an NFL caliber quarterback. Look for a lot more passing and a lot less running people over. You see, in the NFL, quarterbacks can’t just take over a game and win because they want it more than everyone else. They can’t win a game with nothing but “excellent leadership qualities.” It takes skill. Tebow has none of it when it comes to the NFL and the scouts know it. So watch him get nailed this season and enjoy it. But remember you heard it here first. Guarantee you Florida and Tebow look a lot different this year. Because if they don’t, Tebow is screwed. And we all know what a pissed off Tim Tebow can do. And Urban, I’m sure he knows where you sleep. I’d do the kid a favor and teach him to be an NFL quarterback this year. Otherwise he’s headed for some concussions…no pun intended.
Comments
I agree with the comments above, but I think we may see some dissension between the two. Tebo could get frustrated and revert back to his old ways when under pressure. His passing ability, when needed last year was less than desirable. The other thing is that every D-end is looking to ear-hole the guy. He won’t have enough time in the pocket to become a prepared throwing quarterback.
I love this post…
I can’t say anything about Favre because I don’t follow pro football too much, but I can say that I was sick of Tim Tebow the moment I heard him called “Superman.”
Come on, why wasn’t that title ever bestowed on, say, Mike Alstott or Ron Dayne in their day… or why not on Vince Young, the man who truly snubbed one of the best-ever USC teams???
Instead, we have to just plug our ears and roll our eyes whenever we hear this crap. Seriously, give us all a break. As if Tim Tebow is literally God’s gift to College Football! I mean, just because he’s a Christian… well then, perhaps this is an appropriate moment to say, “Holy Crap, folks!”
Sorry Tebow, but you don’t get my vote for being the Messiah of the football world…
Besides, who would want to make Obama feel too jealous by offering up such a title to a big, Christian white boy?
And that is exactly why I’m thrilled for this season. Tebow will suck and it will force ESPN to become enamored with someone else. Hopefully it is Colt McCoy, since I’m confident Texas is going all the way this year.
