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?
