I don't recall him sucker punching a player on the field,or partying or any other disorderly conduct. I know it seems he is just "to nice" but in this day and time of the modern athlete, I guess its just unusual to have someone like Tebow. We all know he is not the prototypical NFL qb. but I think someone will take that chance of having a good athlete with good moral character on their team.

yeah never said i didnt like tim tebow, or that he wasnt the ideal model athlete, just that i am absolutely tired of hearing about everything he does. "tebow dropped a rainbow colored deuce today, must be a sign of a 300 yard passing 9800 yard rushing 17 TD performance coming up, *kneel * slobber ***love

do not get me wrong i like hearing about the positives in sports and this guy could be looked at as a hero to the christian community or any fan of sports.... he is one of the few class acts left in this poor pitiful little world, but wow you cant put it on a sports channel without hearing about how great he played even if its the worst performance of his career. probably would help a little if he played for anyone other than florida : D

That is a funny reply but I understand what you mean. I think they do over do it on the sports channels. I am sure there are more athletes that are like him (BYU most of them do missionaries) but he plays in the SEC and its Florida. The other conferences just can't get the love from the media.

I didnt think the PI call in the end zone with Thompson was a bad call, there was contact and the DB was late getting his head around

As much as it gets on my nerves when the sports channels overdo it on a player, we're the reason why. If it wasn't for people like most of us, the kind who get on a sports message board and discuss nearly everything, there wouldn't be sports talk radio, sports channels, etc. Now they do run it into the ground, then further when they latch on to someone, but we all know its about ratings and so far, a player like Tebow delivers. You have to latch on to someone like him, the kind of player they can tell stories about, send reporters to cover, etc and they don't disappear in week 3 and become after thoughts.
