Mets Sign Tim Tebow

The Mets signed Tim Tebow to a minor league contract in a completely irrelevant, inconsequential and strictly PR move.
He will never make the major league roster and it would be a shock if he was even good enough this year and in the Arizona Fall League, to get a spring training invite.
That is unless, of course, he gets help hitting a curveball.



"Are you trying to say Jesus Christ can't hit a curveball.
Let's not start a holy war Harris."

Expect the Tebowing Trend to Die Down Now

Maybe now that the Broncos have been eliminated from the playoffs, in embarrassing fashion, the trend of people photographing themselves Tebowing will die down. But I couldn't let that happen without showing you this image of porn star Samantha Saint striking a pose.



And I also think this weird sect of Tebowmania is also deserving of attention.

God Has a Tim Tebow Complex

People who believe in Tim Tebow say they have witnessed his miracles. They saw the last 5 minutes against the Dolphins. They cheered when he beat the Bears. They exalted when he threw an 80-yard touchdown pass in overtime to beat the Steelers in the playoffs.

People who don't believe in Tim Tebow say he is getting lucky. They say the Dolphins stink, the Bears were in prevent defense and the Steelers blew the coverage. They see the evidence, the passes that bounce, the 40-percent completion rate, and they know, Tim Tebow stinks.

The believers have faith.

The non-believers need to see proof.

Does any of this sound familiar?



So it has become in this NFL season that Tim Tebow has become an Iervese-like Christ-figure and has gained that status not in spite of, but because of all those who don't believe in him.

Here's where I stand on Tebow: I am not changing my initial view that he will never be a good NFL quarterback because he can't throw. We have seen him go through a stretch where he was reluctant to "pull the trigger" (John Elway's words), but when he plays with confidence, he can get the ball there on time, at least often enough to keep defenses honest.

Tim Tebow's Fire

John Parr, who wrote the song "St. Elmo's Fire" for the movie of the same name, has released a new version of his 80s hit, called "Tim Tebow's Fire." At first I liked it, and thought it was a cute song they would play on Denver-area radio stations. But then I listened to it. He basically changed two words and re-recorded it just to capitalize financially on Tebow's success. You want to make money asshole, write a new song, a good one. Now I hate this song. And yes, this transformation of opinion took all of about 6 hours.

Maybe She's a Virgin Too

Too bad I didn't get to post this while she was still on the show but Janell Wheeler, the first person eliminated from the Top 24 on this season of American Idol used to date (but presumably not bang) Tim Tebow.

Tim Tebow is Too Good to Be True

With the upsetting story of Tiger Woods shaking everyone's faith in mankind (except for skeptics like me who expect this behavior from everyone) many are now questioning whether there are any true heroes left in the sports world or otherwise.
You need to listen to this story about Tim Tebow.

Tim Tebow walked the red carpet before Thursday night's Home Depot ESPNU College Football Awards show with Kelly Faughnan on his arm, creating quite a stir.
Faughnan, 20, lives in Clifton, Va., was diagnosed with a brain tumor just before Thanksgiving in 2008. Her tumor was removed just before Christmas and before her surgery Kelly asked if she could go to Disney World afterwards. She also asked to go to a college football awards show to see Tebow this year.
The players were at a function on Wednesday in Disney and Tebow spotted her wearing a "I love Timmy button." An ESPN producer saw her, talked to her and asked if she would like to meet him. He ended up spending 45 minutes with her and then invited Kelly to attend the show with him.
"He truly is making a great impact on many people's lives, and I can say first hand, on Kelly's life," Jim Faughnan said.
Since he had a date on his arm, Tebow couldn't sign autographs when he walked through the pre-show on ESPNU, especially not since Kelly's gait is still affected and she shudders when she walks. Rather than go inside the building, he turned around and went back and walked through the crowd a second time by himself, so he could sign autographs for anyone who wanted one.



There are a lot of Tim Tebow haters out there, mostly anti-religious zealots. Tebow's father is a religious zealot and he reportedly preaches a literal interpretation of the Bible, which means a condemnation of gays as well as other things some find distasteful.

While religion causes a lot of trouble in the world, there is also this good side. Those true believers, those who practice what they (or their fathers) preach, live their lives by a code and practice kindness and charity.

Tebow is well-known for his missions to the Phillipines where he helps perform medical operations (including circumcisions), and of course his pledge and his 2 national titles and his Heisman Trophy make him too good to be true.

I have my doubts about Tebow, including his claims of virginity (I mean how does he put his hands on this girl and not take her up to his room and rip that bikini off?) and his pro potential. But I'm a total believer in Tebow the person and think we'll never find him in a hotel with cocaine and hookers or in a smashed-up Escalade at 2:30 am.

How Does Tim Tebow Resist This Temptation?

Under normal circumstances it would be good to be Tim Tebow. The guy is not only a ladies' man, but he's also a man's man. He's tough as nails, has two national titles and a Heisman Trophy and one of the greatest speeches of all time.

Only problem is, this guy claims to be a virgin. He comes from an ultra-conservative Christian family, and says yes in fact he is a virgin.
I can't believe a college kid could resist when girls who look like this are wearing t-shirts that say "fuck me, Tim Tebow."



I mean, could he really walk away from a girl with tits like these without fucking her? I don't think so.

When He Wasn't Saying How Great Tim Tebow Is

Thom Brennaman after a hard tackle by Florida Gators safety Major Wright:

"When Major Wright hits you, you feel it in a major wrong way."

Somewhere Tim McCarver smiled and thought "so Thom did get my e-mail."
