and your life will be better for it." Seriously, Brennaman? He's a good guy, no doubt. But could you overstate things just a little more?

It is amazing how poor a job Fox does covering these games and selecting their announcers.

he has done everything right publicly in his college career. He is the epitome of a student-athlete. He has done mission work. He truly has no chink in his armor.

and it is completely admirable, particularly in this day and age. But Brennaman has all but called him the Second Coming of Christ tonight. He gets a lot of pub because he's a great player. I imagine there are dozens of guys on both teams that do just as much good in their lives as him, but don't get the media fellatio that Tebow gets.

Kinda makes me wonder if the other shoe drops one day and we find out he's been strong-arming elementary school kids for their lunch money and molesting kittens.

Helluva good guy. But my life is supposed to be changed by being in the same room as him for 5 minutes? Come on.

It's not like he's the first announcer to talk about Tebow like that. They do it every week. ESPN, CBS, all of them.

yeah, that is a seriously overreaching statement.

...though i bet if i spent a day or week with the guy, my life would be better for it. seems like he does more volunteer work/charity cause work in a season than i have done in my life. </p>

</p>

on a related note, the hating on Tebow crowd is akin to the hating on Tyler Hansbrough crowd...though the hating on Hansbrough crowd is WAY bigger. both players are dominant players in their sports, they keep their noses clean(whenever Hans' isnt bleeding), and they give max effort each game. they are exactly what everyone wants in a student athlete, and yet they get hated on for being the very thing so many people want more of. odd.</p>

5 minutes and my life is better:

Mother Teresa (when she was alive): Yes.

Tebow: No.

But I probably would realize he is a good guy. Life better in 5 minutes. Well, let me think.... no.

I remember against UGA this year, Tebow was running around the field after they were up by 40 something and was basically ON the playing field basically firing the crowd up all by himself. Now, here's the double standard- if Matthew Stafford had done that, he would have been flagged, and the announcers would have talked about how unsportsmanlike that was. When Tebow does that, it's emotion, in fact I think the exact comment was something like "Huhhuh- Look at that- He's getting payback for last year." and the official quietly tells him to go back to the sideline. Oh, and then we get a 10 minute soliloquy on how he built a homeless shelter right before gametime.

As far as your comment, I don't think he's molesting kittens, but he's probably doing some very un-Christian things to some of the women on the UF campus that only I could dream of based on the picture of him and the chick with the very large ta-ta's. Of course, even if he knocks up half of the campus, it will be swept under the rug.

This might sound ridiculous, but I think subconciously people don't like Tebow because he is white. I know, I know, he's TOO good all around. But think about all the players that people openly HATE that havn't done anything wrong publicly...they are always the random white guy that is a badass. People hate Tyler Hansbrough...people hated J.J. Redick (sp?), people hate Tebow. Please name other athletes that are squeaky clean in the public eye and that many fans hate with a passion. Reggie White? Worshipped by all.

Holy ****! Just think how good Florida's 2028 football team is going to be. They'll win the 17ing Super Bowl.

when you start to openly fawn over some guy on every show, every week people get sick of it. "Nobody has more passion than (Tebow or Hansbrough). Nobody plays harder than (Tebow or Hansbrough). Your life is better for spending 5 minutes with him." People get sick of that **** after about the 25th time they hear it.

the pacman joneses of the athletic world before long. I much prefer dealing with the overhype of these white bread, blue collar kids (whose popularity irritates passive-aggressive black racists), than having to put up with the narcissistic, look-at-me-ism, of pacsman and terrell. By the way, has Terrell overdosed to get attention this year yet or is that coming up soon. Can't wait for that.

I guess he figured healing Percy Harvin was enough to make us all believe.

It does remind me of a joke though.

...serving in Iraq & Afghanistan right now.

They are serving their country with their life on the line instead of passing a football, sticking their fingers towards Heaven after a touchdown & wasting a Saturday losing to Ole Miss.

Yet this country's priorities are so 17ed up, the strutting jock rocking it stateside will always get the accolades over the 21 year old men who are showing authentic bravery instead of chest bumping after a successful curl route is executed.

Tim Tebow has admirable qualities, but most of his success is based in the fantasy world of football.

Tim Tebow has yet to be tested by life, yet we are encouraged by nutty talking heads to enter Tebow's hallowed sphere if you want to experience a real hit of glory.

And, no, I'm not knocking Tebow "because he is white."

The only thing worst than the white victimization thing is the white paranoia thing.

And there are millions of kids Tebow's age who haven't been to a school in the Phillipines to volunteer.

Hasn't been tested by life? The dude was born in the Phillipines. He goes on mission trips every summer. He doesn't put his life on the line like in the military, but he definitely contributes to society.

I get as tired as the next guy about all the media attention, but to say all he does is throw a football is laughable.

That must have been REAL rough on little Tebow. I was born in Amory, MS; that town sucks...so what? What does where a guy is born have to do with if a guy has been "tested" in life?
I'm a Tebow fan but I do agree that it's a lot easier to be in a great mood all the time and be high on God and all that jazz when you were given the athletic prowess of Achilles and that is what has made you who you are. I'm sure he is a hard worker and all that, but the guy was luckily born with attributes that geared him towards amazing success.
And I still stand by my earlier point that people, and I would say mainly other white people, don't like a lot of these guys because they are white. I think a lot of people look at Tebow, Hansbrough, etc. and say "Who he <17> is this guy? Who does he think he is?" They are white men dominating in a typically black man's sport, and they stick out like a sore thumb.

He does have a life of privilege. And that's why it makes it all the more remarkable that he lowers himself to work with the poor, and in prisons, and with lepers or whatever. He doesn't HAVE to do the things he does. That's what makes him remarkable. And Reggie White got raked over the coals pretty damn badly for comments he made about other races.
