Tebow on Tennessee

I watched as much as I could stomach of a slavishly adoring documentary about Tim Tebow the other night. He's an admirable kid in many ways, but what can't be denied is that he's dumb as a bag of nails.

In one section, he and his dad - who reminded me of David Koresh with a little Jim Jones thrown in - are sorting through a mountain of recruiting letters, one of which was from Tennessee. Dad asks him what he thinks about Tennessee, and Timmy mutters something unintelligible (I rewound several times trying to make it out) before saying what sounded like "I went up there and I don't really want to go back".

Now this was ages ago, and what else should I expect from a kid who ends up with a statue of himself erected outside The Swamp. Nevertheless, it irritated the hell out of me, not only that Timmy so conclusively dismisses Tennessee while seriously considering the Mike Shula-led Bama but also that ESPN chose Tennessee to sit atop the on-camera reject pile.

Maybe I heard it wrong. Did anyone else see it?

He was from Jacksonville and went to Florida. Simple enough. He would say it was God's will for him that he went to Florida. I don't think a white bronco has received this much attention since the OJ Simpson murders.
 
He was always going to go to Florida. Him "considering" other schools was just a kid making sure he thought out all the options and got to experience the recruiting trail and visiting other campuses. There was probably never a question in his mind where he was gonna go when it was all said and done.
 
Tebow dumb as a rock. But I do admire what he has been able to accoplish and his faith. With that said, he is one big lick on the knee from being finished. Mark my words...that style won't last long in the NFL.

.......NFL "experts" hope that you are right so they can look less stupid and go back the being all knowing, all seeing , arbiter's of the truth.....
