So the new Tebow meme is he played with errrrr considerable injuries....

Jesus Christ the media can polish a turd into a diamond.

Every piece I've read doesn't tell us the extent of his injuries.

They tell us it was: rib, lung and chest injuries--- Ok--- did he break a rib or pierce a lung?

Oh---and he couldn't sleep the the night after the game.

Was it the injuries that kept him up or Jesus cursing him because he lost the football pool to St. Peter?

The media tells us: "He won’t need surgery, is expected to make a full recovery with some down time and his offseason training program shouldn’t be affected in any way".

Here's a bet:

They are already talking up Tebow's appearance in the Pebble Beach Pro Am a couple of weeks from now.... Fox news has a headline "Make Pebble Beach pro-am Tebow Time"... LOL

If Tebow doesn't play---then OK-- there may be some validity to the injury story... if he does play----- well---Turd, diamond.

Hell. He looks like he has a major injury every time he tries to pass the ball.

or turn on sports radio, they're blabbing about this douchebag.

Today for instance---every sport channel on my XM radio had this stroy as a headline.

Look--- they can polish this turd all they want--- but I think some should be out there calling it what it is... a fucking turd.

Bank on it---he'll be playing the Pro Am in a couple of weeks.

No detailed explanation about the injuries... just that he couldn't sleep the night after the game.

He supposedly had an MRI and it's obvious nothing turned up except for some bruising.

Believe me---if he had a cracked rib or a punctured lung, it would have been the lead story on the Nightly news.

I once read a story about Emmit Smith on how it would take him a good 3 days after a game to get out of bed in the morning without grabbing something to help him out. He said you live in pain if you play in the NFL.

It's called Team Teblow trying to keep the myth alive, sort of trying to erase the fact that he sucked by implying he's superhuman to even have played!

Some puncture wounds to the head, stabbing pain in his ribs, lashes across his back...you know...that kind of stuff. He'll be better in 3 days.

down onto the field after Saturday's game, offer Timmeh a towel, and Timmeh's image appeared on it! A few thousand times over, in fact, each going for $19.95!

Put "John 3:16" on the bottom, faint image of his face on the towel, and we have a cash cow.

...Roman soldiers when St. Timmeh was up on the cross. Was the fluid from the punctured lung and rib, water or wine? Now, can we see the scars from the nails in the hands and feet?

He actually sucked slightly worse, statistically speaking, before the big hit early in the third quarter.
