SI's cover boy this week is Tim Tebow. Tebow is the most controversial figure in the NFL since Rae Carruth. You either love or hate this guy. There is no in between on Tebow. Like my co-host Andre on The Sports Daddys Podcast (heard every Monday & Friday on bigbadsportsdaddy.com) puts it Tebow is his football Kryptonite.
I will go on record of saying I like Tebow as a person. At this point in history the kids need a good role model to look up to. Someone who isn't all about the bitches and the bling, like so many athletes are. Tebow definitely provides that positive hero for our youth. He is man whose faith comes first and the game comes second (As it should be). For that he has to be commended and deserves all the praise he gets. However make no mistake about it, he isn't the only devoted Christian in the NFL just the most publicized one. Why don't you ask Aaron Rogers about that?
Now let's get to "Football Jesus" on field performance. I am about to go all Marcellus Wallace on you, and give you the cold hard truth. The cold hard truth is he sucks as a NFL quarter-man. That's a hard fact of life,but that's a fact of life we have to be realistic about.
How can I say that when he has won 6 straight? It's simple watch him play. He is not good! There is a reason why he is pulling off all of these come from behind victories. The reason is because he plays horrible for 3 quarters then gets lucky and pulls something out of his holy ass in the end. His luck will run out and he will be exposed eventually.I beg of you to please stop fooling yourself into thinking he is good football player, because he isn't.
The Tim Tebow story is all about religion and not about football. If Tim Tebow wasn't so religious and in your face about it then he would never have been this big of deal. There is nothing wrong with being religious. There is nothing wrong with talking about religion publicly. There is a problem with the way the media over exposes Tebow's Christian believes.
This guy is a devoted Christian, case closed. I don't care about his religion! Not becaus I am Godless heathen either. I don't care because, I watch football to watch football games. I don't watch for a religious debate. Which all of the Tebow talk turns into sooner or later. Should he pray or shouldn't he pray? Should he be so in the face with his love for Christ? etc.etc...
Tebow's believes are his believes. We all should be so lucky to have such strong values. If he wants to thank the Father,Son and Holy Ghost after each game I think he should. That's his business, not ours.
I don't think the media should shove the fact he is a devoted Christian down our throats ever chance they get. The camera doesn't have to zoom in on him every time he is kneeling down on one knee. I don't think the fact that he is on the field praying so much should ever come up in a sports conversation!
The entire world knows his faith. We get it let's move on! Hey CBS & ESPN I know this might sound crazy but could we please just focus on his on field performance
and not his religion? Or is that to radical for your NFL brodcast?
I heard this rumor that there are these secret places called Churches around America. Rumor has it that you can go talk all the religion you want on Sunday mornings at these places. Here's an idea if you want to show Tebow praying how about you follow him to one of these "Churches". You can even build a reality show around it. You could call the show Tebow Tebowing.
The bottom line Tim Tebow aka "Football Jesus" is a Great Christian, a good role model, but he his a bad, bad football player.
