CS85 Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 What's the Tebow equivalent to "Cleve-jacked"?"Tebowed" makes the most sense. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMK9FKMG3NcOh, not that sleaze. Change the channel. The only thing worse is Stephen "A." Smith, and the only thing worse than that is when they pretend to have an augment between them.That's why ESPN can't be taken seriously. Well, that and Cowherd.Talked about this during our podcast, although it didn't make the final cut. Great, great article.

pmoehrin Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 How ESPN Ditched Journalism And Followed Skip Bayless To The Bottom: A Tim Tebow StoryI'm not a huge Deadspin, but that's one of the best articles I've read on that site.I don't think Sal Pal likes hearing about Tim Tebow or talking about him anymore then the rest of us. Can you imagine building your career on being one of the best NFL reporters for two decades and being essentially forced to spend your entire summer covering Tim Tebow, all in the name of ratings?At the same time though can you really blame ESPN? They're owned by the same company that employees Nancy Grace. They clearly have priorities outside of reporting the best and most accurate sports stories. And I'm not saying you can't criticize ESPN. I think anyone that has to resort to yellow journalisim for their reporting needs to be held accountable. But unfortunately they are far from being the worst offenders in the grand scheme of things. Scary as it may seem what's going on with Tim Tebow may be a sign of things to come. I really hope I'm wrong on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSky Posted November 17, 2012 Author Share Posted November 17, 2012 Getting back to football, I'm no pro coach or anything but how is it that Green Bay's opponents don't take advantage of Rodgers' cadence? His way to signal the snap - every time, or damn near - is to say, "Three nineteeeen, threenineteenhut!" Listen next time you see them play (or right now on NFL Rewind if you have it). Wouldn't that have to be a huge advantage for the defense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coast2CoastAM2006 Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Here's the deal with tebow versus guys like Warner and Reggie White. They kept it to a minimum and treated it as it was just part of their life and wanted to give thanks and do what they felt right with prayer or whatever. Tebow may or may not be doing it for publicity and is using it as a marketing ploy. I don't question his sincerity but i do think he is over the top with it. At the same time i the media now is more interested in sensationalizing his faith over his play. Even more so than 10-15 years, when a person's faith in football wasn't that big of a deal. I never saw it as a big of a deal. Yet now where everything needs to be a sensation like gangnam style, whatever the that is. So Tebow was the media sensation. Now i personally have nothing against the guy, i don't know him personally and i respect his faith. I don't like the way he carries it and the media sensationalizes it. Spoilers!

Gothamite Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 No, Reggie White was a douchebag as well. Even more so than Tebow. Tebow has merely allied himself with really scummy people who are trying to strip Americans of their civil rights. White actively worked to do that himself. White even wore a Packer uniform in one of his anti-gay ads, which forced the team to step in. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

Obviously I'm, disappointed that Tebow is okay with denying people their civil rights, but no more so than I would be of anyone who wasn't a pro QB.

All he has to say is "I support their efforts in regards to the abortion debate, I don't agree with their opposition to the legalization of same sex marriages."It seems like most Americans these days take the "I agree with some of what both the Republicans and Democrats say, but I don't really idenitfy with either party fully" stance. So I think Tebow would find most people quite understanding if he said he agrees with certain aspects of the Focus on the Family platform, but not others.

Gothamite Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 What does that have to do with anything? Next we'll be talking about his right to free speech. He never said "I'm only in it for the abortions." Had he, we wouldn't be having this conversation. Instead, he chose to climb in bed with a dangerous and very scummy group of people, well known at the time for a wide-ranging agenda. If there was any thought that he didn't share that agenda, it was incumbent upon him to say so. And still is. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.
