In the space of 24 hours, we’ve now heard three sports reporters finally come out and call Tebow stupid. There was the article yesterday that said that he was so dyslexic and ADD he couldn’t keep the letter-number sequence straight between leaving the huddle and reaching the line. Now dyslexia is one of those words […]

I can’t believe I’m saying this: give Tebow a chance
Tim Tebow is getting screwed, and the kid doesn’t deserve it. Now let me say hastily I am not a Tebow fan, and it’s not because he used football to sell his religion. Kurt Warner did that. Jon Kitna. Danny Kanell. June Jones. Reggie White. There’s an almost endless supply of great football players (and […]
Tim Tebow emcees the 2012 "All Next-Larry-Bird" banquet
Well, it’s now apparent that Jimmer Fredette is who we thought he was. A hard-working and gifted shooter with inflated statistics created by playing in an offense created specifically for him against sub-standard competition, and a player who is way too small and slow to get off his shot in the NBA. With only 8 […]
No, People, Jeremy Lin is Not "Just Like Tebow"
It had to happen. I’ve been expecting it. Today I read a column that said Jeremy Lin is “just like Tim Tebow.” Sigh. No, he’s not. Yes, he’s six foot three and young. Yes, he’s a devout Christian. But he’s quiet about it. He mentions his faith in interviews, but almost as an aside and […]
Miracle on Turf: Believing in Tebow
OK, it’s pretty well documented that I am a non-believer in the Miracle at Mile High. I think he is the second coming all right, but the second coming of Bobby Douglass and much of his success is due to the fact that Bobby Douglasses only come along every fifty years or so, and thus […]
Monday Morning Drive-By: Where have all the Tebows gone?
With apologies to Pete Seger Where have all the Tebows gone? Zero passing Where have all the Tebows gone? Can’t pass at all Where have all the Tebows gone? Corners picked them every one When will they ever learn? When will they ever learn? I know, I know, this is mean-spirited. But I was pretty darn gracious when he was […]
Thinking the unthinkable: Pat Robertson may be right about Tim Tebow
Televangelist Pat Robertson doesn’t mince words when it comes to faith and this time is no exception. The outspoken faith-keeper blasted Saturday Night Live‘s recent skit of Denver Bronco’s quarterback Tim Tebow on Monday, calling the parody a “disgusting” attack on Christianity. “There’s an anti-Christian bigotry that is just disgusting and I think Saturday Night Live did a parody of […]
Tebow Love
OK. I, and most people who think they know something about football, have been pretty vocal about the fact that Tebow sucks as a quarterback. The people who disagree with us insist his intangibles make up for his lack of tangibles, an argument so absurd that we have trouble getting our heads around it. If […]
Tim Tebow: a morality play in faith and football (and maybe even national pride)
Some time back I called Tim Tebow a “faith-based” quarterback. In that article I took on a prominent sports commentator who had lost all perspective and tried to address the ways in which the questions of religion and quarterbacking ability were getting all twisted up around the second-year Denver Broncos QB. Since that post, some […]
The Tebow era is under way: grading his performance vs. the Dolphins
The Tim Tebow experiment has begun, with the Denver Broncos posting an 18-15 come-from-behind overtime victory over the winless Miami Dolphins on Sunday afternoon. I’ve been critical of Tebow and his frequently irrational fan base, but none of that matters now. All that matters at this point is whether he’s a viable quarterback for a […]
SportSunday: an avowed hater explains why maybe, just maybe, Tim Tebow should be the starter for the Denver Broncos
I think my feelings about Tim Tebow – the man and the quarterback – are well established by now. It may therefore come as a surprise to hear me say this. But I believe the Denver Broncos should make #15 their starting quarterback for the 2011-12 season and should commit to sticking with him, no […]
