Timmy (the Tool) Tebow

[lawgator1]

Be honest with yourselves. If Tebow played for UT, no one here would have the slightest problem with all the attention and positive press he gets.

he wouldn't get the positive press since ESPN hates us

oh yeah, and we play better as underdogs

Well, he would be the first QB UT has ever had to get that kind of attention and positive press. Don't think I hate Tebow because of that though, because I know he isn't ESPN. I am an equal opportunity hater. I hate all the gators.

Nah, that's not true. It's nauseating...even if he were a Vol, I'd be sick of the circumcision features during every effing game. I don't hate Tebow for it, but I loathe the media's fellatial attention to him.

Tebow's a very good college player...but, that's all he is, and everyone will see that at the next level. He's about as likely to make a Pro Bowl at defensive end as he is to make one as a quarterback.

hell must have froze over this mourning, i agree with you.

but.... great college qb , in the nfl who knows, or cares.

He doesn't play for UT, therefore I'm allowed to disdain him because he plays for the wretched rival. I said in the OP that I don't care if he's a Heisman winning humanitarian whose parents adopt third world kids. He doesn't play for UT, so he's evil.

 

[ridethelightening]

Why does Tebow have to be a great NFL player to justify anything he accomplishes in CFB?

I got no hate for Tim Tebow. His arrogant f----t fans I despise, but Tebow is just playing a game very well.

You're right about that. Bill Simmons wrote about this same subject, regarding his dislike for Joakim Noah in his ESPN column about the Bulls-Celtics series a couple weeks ago. He pretty much hit the nail on the head in my opinion.

There's hate and there's sports hate. Real hate is not OK. Sports hate is OK. We are fans. We are allowed to "love" certain athletes and "hate" others. It doesn't mean we actually love them or hate them. So under that umbrella, I present you with the following statement: I hate Joakim Noah. I hate looking at him. I hate his hair. I hate how he dunks. I hate the way he high-fives. I hate every reaction he has. I hate his game. I hate the way announcers pronounce his name. I hate the story that I've heard a million times about his tennis-playing father.

I want the Celtics to win for a variety of reasons, but one of them is because it means Joakim Noah would lose. I want him to cry when it's over. And we are only two games in. I can't imagine how I'm going to feel about him by Game 5. He's like a cross between Bill Laimbeer, Marcus Camby and Lisa Bonet. Near the end of Game 2, he wandered over to the Boston bench after a whistle and lingered there pretending to be disappointed about a call -- breaking the NBA code of "don't hang out for too long near someone's bench," because, you know, he's a complete jerk that way -- and I was screaming at Kevin Garnett (on my TV), "PUNCH HIM! PUNCH HIM! DON'T LET HIM GET AWAY WITH THIS! YOU'RE NOT PLAYING ANYWAY! PUNCH HIM IN THE FACE!!!!" I hate Joakim Noah. I hate him.

Little does he know, but I already exacted my revenge on him a few months ago, when I took my daughter to a Clippers-Bulls game. She was entranced by Noah's hair for some reason and asked me in all seriousness, "Is that a girl?" I thought it would be funny to convince her that, yes, Joakim Noah was a girl. She didn't fully believe me for about a quarter. By the end of the game, Noah was her favorite player and she was excited that girls could play in the NBA. We came home and she said, "Mommy, we saw a girl play at the Clippers game!" My wife thought it was evil that I did this. She made me feel bad. Now I feel happy. I love that it happened. Just retelling the story makes me happy. I hate Joakim Noah.

(Of course, if he played for the Celtics, I'd love him.)

 

[SamRebel35]

I would be ok with Teblow playing for UT, but definitely not Joakim Noah. I would be completely embarassed that he played for my team if that were the case. Simmons' article, though, is quite appropriate. I suppose I only "sports hate" Tebow. Really the only player in any sport that I hate (like real life hate) is Kobe. I know I shouldn't hate, but I can't help it with that guy.

 

[k-town_king]

He gets too much credit. He is not a top 30 all-time great in CF. A number of QBs would win like he has with the talent around him.

 

[VolsByNature]

This can go two ways

I don't like Tebow 'cause he's a gator

I like Tebow because he's a great human being, and a man of God. Total respect given to Tim Tebow

I will say this though, Tebow is going to have a problem producing in the NFL, unless he becomes more of a pocket passer. He's not fast enough to outrun the Ray Lewis' and Demarcus Ware's

That's about where I am (except for the hating Kobe part). I don't know who in sports that I truly hate. I do know that the nicest thing I will say about Tebow is that I do not wish him death or anything that would take away his quality of life. As I said before, I want him to get hit by Eric Berry so hard that Tony Joiner can feel it.

 

[VolsByNature]

I hate Mark Cuban, Dallas Mavericks owner. He's a prick

Well do you wish him death or don't you? You seem to have contradicted yourself, because we all know that a hit from EB=instant death.

 

[SamRebel35]

Yeah he's an irksome shrew just like Kobe. My list is up to two people that I "real hate" in sports.

Well, I guess I should have explained further. Of course we know that a 100% hit from EB would probably make Tebow collapse in on himself like a dying star. BUT I only said I wanted him to get hit so hard that Tony Joiner could feel it. Since I'm sure Teblow and Joiner are "soul-mates," that should only be a...... let me do some calculations..... 11.285% of an Eric Berry hit. Any more would be uncivilized.

 

[UNAVol89]

I'm with OP. I don't care what he does off the field. He plays for Florida. That makes him the enemy.

 

[Vercingetorix]

Tebow might be the best CFB player ever, and I can't help but love him. That being said, when we go to Gainesville I'll be cheering for us to break his arm.

You guys that say this are clearly all way too young to remember Herschel Walker. Tebow's a great player, but Walker really was pretty much superhuman.

Very truthful statement right there. I'll also add Bo Jackson to the list ahead of Tebow. I think this year will be the deciding factor on young Mr. Tebow...Percy is gone and he stands alone. I expect a significant drop off in his production.

See, I know it's all subjective, but I feel like I've seen a half-dozen college RBs that were as good as Bo Jackson. Walker was just on another level, IMO. To this day, I'm still astonished that his pro career never really went anywhere.

The true test of how great Tebow is won't be this year, IMO. It'll be in 2010, when we see what happens to the UF offense after Tebow's gone. That's when we'll start to get a good idea how much of it is Tebow's own personal magnificence versus how much of it is Urban Meyer's offense. It'll be interesting to see how much dropoff it is.

Excellent point. I see your logic, and it is correct.

I remember both of those guys. HW was something else -- I was at the Florida-UGA game when we went in #1 and got run over him for 34 points or something like that.

Bo Jackson I just didn't like how he faded on Auburn late in his carrer with some odd injuries.

Both of those guys were tremendous athletes, and depending on your criteria might have been better athletes than Tebow.

But neither was as much of a motivator and pure competitor for his team as Tebow has been for Florida. That's where I give Tebow true credit.

Hershel and Barry Sanders for me..

Ok, for me i will clarify. I hate Tebow, Urban Meyer, Steve Spurrier, Danny Wuerfel, Rex Grossman, Alex Brown, Percy Harvin, Brandon Spikes, those goofy Pouncey twins, anyone that has ever made the Gator team in any sport, 99% of the people that live in Gainesville, and alligators and crocodiles just because they remind me of the Gators, and anyone that has done the Gator chop (except for the opposing teams that are taunting the gators).

And I am going to buy a Nukeese jersey and wear it to Gainesville this year. Ok I just had to get that off my chest.

 

[volsfan0156]

I can't stand the guy and I think he only does all that "good stuff" because he craves attention and wants to make himself look like hes better than everyone else.
