Is it wrong to hate Tim Tebow so much that I find it amusing that he was injured tonight

[sasquatch]

You see he gives all of the credit of his success to God, well apparently God doesn't know how to block two defensive ends.
:rofl:



















Screw it, its funny and you know it.

1. Jeff Stilson said it best...

"Yeah, we were in the game--until Jesus made me fumble. He hates our team."

[sasquatch]

2. LOL!!

:applause:

[WildEyedLiberal]

3. No, I hate him too

I'm not even an SEC fan one way or another. I have no emotional stake in Florida's success or lack thereof. But I really fucking hate the collective multiple orgasms the sports commentary community has had over Tim Tebow since his freshman fucking year.

[Moses2SandyKoufax]

4. His FRESHMAN year

when he was BACKING-UP Chris Leak!

[sasquatch]

8. Oh I hate him precisely because of his religious beliefs and how the sports writers gush over him

Here's a quote from an SI article from his father telling the story of his birth.
Even if you have, it's worth hearing from the mouth of his father: "When I was out in the mountains in Mindanao, back in '86, I was showing a film and preaching that night. I was weeping over the millions of babies being in America, and I prayed, 'God, if you give me a son, if you give me Timmy, I'll raise him to be a preacher.'" Not long after, Bob and Pam Tebow conceived their fifth child. It was a very difficult pregnancy. "The placenta was never properly attached, and there was bleeding from the get-go," Bob recalls. "We thought we'd lost him several times." Early in the pregnancy Pam contracted amebic dysentery, which briefly put her in a coma. Her doctors, fearful that medications they had given her had damaged the fetus, advised her to abort it. She refused, and on Aug. 14, 1987, Pam delivered a healthy if somewhat scrawny Timothy Richard Tebow.

"All his life, from the moment he could understand, I told him, 'You're a miracle baby,'" Bob recalls. "'God's got a purpose for you, and at some point I think He's going to call you to preach.'

"I asked God for a preacher, and he gave me a quarterback."


Now would the media be as sympathetic and positive to a player that was muslim and whose father said when he found out his wife was pregnant he prayed to Allah that he would send a leader that would purge all of the Jews out of Palestine. I think not.

[LeftyFingerPop]

22. "Oh I hate him precisely because of his religious beliefs"...this post DRIPS with irony.

And in regard to your OP...even YOU think it is wrong to feel the way you do, or you wouldn't have asked.

[JonLP24]

23. What I notice about most of the Tebow bashing

It usually has something to do with religious beliefs. I can say most players in football are christian and it's funny Tebow is the one singled out the most. I'm a non-believer but one of my favorite players Larry Fitzgerald is a christian and he doesn't take flak for it.

[LeftyFingerPop]

25. I'm not a huge sports fan, so I had to google who Tebow is...

and I agree with you about your comment about religious beliefs.

[sasquatch]

27. It didn't show up on my post because the word is in backets, but the man said they had Tim

was because of all of the babies being aborted in America.

[backwoodsbob]

5. GOD gave him a notice

dont use my name in vain

he got his ass hammered

[sasquatch]

6. And how

[NightWatcher]

7. the egomaniac was padding his numbers when his team was obviously going to win easy

then he got hurt. boo friggin hoo. He was blinded by his pride and lust for another Heisman (like where has any QB from the state of Florida gone after winning a Heisman? the Bachelor.)

Which of these does the uber christian stumble on?

Lust: maybe lusting after another heisman trophy
Gluttony:
Greed:
Sloth: probably not this one
Wrath: I dunno
Envy:
Pride: OH BIGTIME!

I am so sick of the Tebow worship here in Jax


oh yes, GO Dawgs

[sasquatch]

9. See post #8

[backwoodsbob]

10. I believe my known for running team...Michigan

has more successful nfl quarterbacks than the entire state of Florida

[EvolveOrConvolve]

12. And think about the QB's that have come out of USC in this decade

Fer' crissakes, one of their backups (Matt Cassel) is now the starting QB for an NFL team. He saw very little playing time at the college level and stilled turned out to be a serviceable NFL quarterback. How sick is the recruiting at USC that their backups have NFL potential? Then, think about Carson Palmer, Matt Leinart, Mark Sanchez, John David Booty, etc.

FWIW, I hate USC (I'm a Boise State Bronco fan - we're the best football program in the country when you account for how much we've done with so little money, support, and mid-range recruits), but you have to respect what Pete Carroll has done with USC, especially recruiting 5 Star defensive players. Shit, USC's defense last year was better than the Detroit Lions.

[backwoodsbob]

17. Michigan is a RUNNING team

and produced Brady..grbac(sp) Greise harbaugh leach Collins Henne

USC is a quarterback machine BTW

[JonLP24]

21. Mark Sanchez 9 for 11 passing and 1 touchdown

Jets 14, Oilers, 0. Reason why I say Oilers is because the Titans are wearing their throwbacks.

[peekaloo]

11. yes

Virgin Tim has never before experienced such a neck thrust while going down.



they say you always remember the first time.

[sasquatch]

16. *rimshot*

:D

[mix]

13. Nah, I used to feel that way about Steve Young...but you will feel guilty later. nt

[sasquatch]

15. I did a little last night, but not after I had read a quote from an SI article that I placed in-

post #8.

[Swede]

14. Why,yes it is.

nt

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

18. He doesn't strike me as a thumper and

the quote you gave came from his dad, not him. An injury in a game where people have been permanently paralyzed is nothing to laugh at, no matter who it happens to......... :shrug:

[Bertha Venation]

19. "nothing to laugh at, no matter who it happens to" --

Hear, hear.

[dajoki]

20. Agreed n/t

[sasquatch]

26. Post #8

[av8rdave]

24. I'm not a TIm Tebow or a Florida fan, but....

I hate to see anyone get hurt, regardless of how I might feel about them. I'll root for him to have a bad day, put up bad numbers, lose, etc.

But I just can't bring myself to wish harm upon him.

Guess I'm a "softie."

[BlooInBloo]

32. Seems really weird to me, too - and I'm second to none in mocking mythology-believers.

[Capn Sunshine]

28. If you have any reverence for the game itself

the potential loss of a talented player is always a bummer. I hate the Gators but that guy Tebow was going to be a hell of an NFL QB.

Now, he may never play again. That's a loss to the game itself.

[sasquatch]

33. "Tebow was going to be a hell of an NFL QB"

What are you on and can we all get some to? There would be ice skating in hell before Tebow became a good NFL QB. He can't throw the ball farther than 40 yards with any accuracy. His main offensive weapon is his legs and the NFL stands for Not For Long for running QBs, they end up on the training table before the end of the first quarter.

[Iggo]

29. I was raised on Warner Bros cartoons.

I'm conditioned to bust up laughing whenever I see someone get his bell rung.

So sue me.

[jakefrep]

30. If God is all powerful....

...He ought to be able to block two members of Kentucky's swiss-cheese defense.

[sasquatch]

34. Winner winner, chicken dinner

[ornotna]

31. 41-14

That's what you hate.


It's time to let go and move on with your life.

[Ptah]

35. Hate is a hell of a drug.

[Mojambo]

36. I hate Tim Tebow so much I hope he gets healthy, makes the NFL, and plays a long time

Just so I'll have more of an opportunity to hate him and root against him.

Can't stand that sanctimonious, pretty boy prick.

[Jetboy]

37. I don't like the guy either but it is wrong to be happy that he is hurt.

Shoot, he hit his head pretty bad and could have permanent brain injury. Not funny IMO.

[quakerboy]

38. He must be a sports player of some sort?

[Iggo]

39. Yes. He plays the sports game of football...

...at the college level.

He is the Next Big Thing. The Annointed One.

[Rabrrrrrr]

40. Wow - abother ignorant sports fuck gets hurt and it's national fucking news.

This country is sick.

[Shell Beau]

41. Yeah dude, that is pretty messed up!

:shrug:

[sasquatch]

42. Well at least I question my hateful desires

[Danmel]

43. Yes

Even if you totally disagree with his philosophy, you should not be glad that a young man could have a potentially life altering head injury. Head injuries are not a joke.

[ScreamingMeemie]

44. I will never forget watching Charlie Batch get hit really hard during

a Packers/Lions game in Detroit and the crowd cheering the injury. It gave me quite a chill.

I don't know on that one sas...

I like my hated players to get busted doing something stupid. Maybe he'll get caught with a couple of grams of coke or something.

[bullwinkle428]

45. I'll be satisfied if he gets drafted early, and then goes Ryan Leaf

once he starts to actually play!

[NJmaverick]

46. I don't like to see any player injured

however since the religious right uses this young man as a poster child for their movement, I have to say there is a part of me....

[Scurrilous]

47. Timmeh Tebow Rawks!!1!

You'll love this.

[ipfilter]

48. If you spend 5 minutes with Tim Tebow

your life will be better for it. At least that's what the announcer said during the NC game last year.

[DFW]

49. Will God strike me down? I haven't the faintest idea who Tim Tebow is.

I gather he's a sports figure of sorts?
