Tebow Skips Senior Season, Ascends Directly Into Heaven
MIAMI (SP) -- Shortly after leading the Florida Gators to a national
championship with a 24-14 win over Oklahoma, junior quarterback Tim
Tebow announced that he would skip his senior season and ascend
directly into heaven.
Tebow entered the press room to wild applause.
A reporter for a 24-
hour cable sports network burst into tears when the 2007 Heisman
winner entered the room.
Another threw a pair of boxer shorts on the
podium.
Tebow smiled at the gesture and several sports reporters
fainted.
"Sorry I'm late," Tebow began.
"There was a six-year-old boy with
cancer in row 54 and I had to make my way through the crowd to heal
him.
"
"I want to start by saying that playing quarterback for the University
of Florida, winning two national championships, has been a great
honor.
There has been some speculation about my future and I want to
clear that up right now," he continued.
"Don't go, Tim!" a reporter shouted from the back of the room.
"After much consideration, I have decided to skip my senior season at
the University of Florida and ascend directly into Heaven," Tebow
announced.
Upon making the announcement, Tebow was bathed in a
blinding white light and vanished.
In response to the news, ESPN announced they will have a month-long
tribute to Tebow.
ESPN2 will now be known as ESPN-TEBOW and will
feature Tebow highlights (including home videos of Tebow's childhood),
re-airings of past interviews, Tebow-centric analysis by ESPN air
personalities, a Tebow quiz show and a reality show to find the "most
Tebow-like" person in America.
"He wasn't just the greatest player in college football history," said
a college football writer at the press conference, tears streaming
down his face.
"He might have been the greatest person to ever walk on
earth.
"

Hahahahah thanks for the laugh, that was good. Seriously, though, my friend was locked outta his house after school so he came over to my house until seven when his parents finally came home, and for 3/4 of the time from 2 to 7 they were playing Tebow highlights, talking about Tebow, etc. The inauguration of President Obama will not top ESPN's coverage of Tebow, I swear.
Oh, and I just loved how they played the same exact feature about Tebow today as the once they aired sometime over summer. But I guess there's only so much ass-kissing you can do....
Not a Tebow-hater, by the way, I realize he doesn't choose what the media decides to cover.

When Google can't find something, it asks Tim Tebow for help.

If I had nothing better to do (or I was part of the media *coughcough* lol) I would sit around making Chuck Norris/Tim Tebow jokes all day.
Hmmm... Maybe that's what I should market. haha

I like Tebow, he can't help that they show him on tv all the time. I think the Lions should draft him #1 and start running the Wofford style option. They were 0-16, what do they have to lose? |

Maybe he could go into Detriot and lay hands on that team and heal their woes.

funny stuff but what might get lost in this is that he is a really great kid by all measures and the way they portrayed him the other night certainly wasn't any of his doing.i think he's a tremendous talent and winner.the way he came out after the Ole Miss game and then showed it on the field getting back to the championship game and winning it was first class IMHO.

This really just proves the networks can't win. When TO and Pacman get the coverage, we bitch that we can't stand it. When a genuinely good guy like Tebow gets the coverage, we bitch that we can't stand it.

So Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till daybreak. When the man saw that he could not overpower him, he touched the socket of Jacob's hip so that his hip was wrenched as he wrestled with the man. Then the man said, "Let me go, for it is daybreak."
But Jacob replied, "I will not let you go unless you bless me."
The man asked him, "What is your name?"
"Jacob," he answered.
Then the man said, "Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, [e] because you have struggled with God and with men and have overcome." Genesis 32:24-28
Leading theologians now believe the "man" to be a pre-incarnate Tebow.
Even though it comes across as a love fest, I like the coverage of Tebow. They show him go nuts when his teammates make a play or do something incredible and celebrate with the other Florida players. Then they talk about his faith or some of the things he's done for people in need. The way our kids watch ESPN, I'll take them running pieces on Tebow all day. That's the kind of stuff our boys need to see.

Agreed, I'll likely be using Tim Tebow as an example to players for years and years to come. But Lord Almighty, talk about being on someone's jock...

what do Tim Tebow and Barry Obama have in common? Both seem to be anointed as the second coming.

i do have to say good for him for not wanting to rush to the nfl. I am tired of the NFL using college football as its developmental squad.
THe NFL should really share some of the money with universities which send them players.

It's the players choice to play in the NFL, not the university's.
Besides, the NFL is a business. So are colleges. Why should one business give to the other?

THe NFL should really share some of the money with universities which send them players. Have you seen the contracts universities are dishing out for some of the coaches now days? Do you really think they need the NFL's money? A lot of the D1 football programs are funding a large portion of the other sports at the universities. |
