Pam Tebow, Liar?



As Joe Jervis points out, we’ve been hearing the propaganda for weeks now about how Tim Tebow’s mother was confronted with a difficult pregnancy, encouraged to have an abortion, and made the heroic and courageous choice to carry the pregnancy to term, so that her son Tim would one day sport Bible verses in his eyeblack and have a really hard time at NFL tryouts. As you all know, the propaganda has become even fiercer as Focus on the Family has spent $2.5 million on an anti-choice ad to be aired during the Super Bowl featuring Tebow’s story. Yeah, well, Gloria Allred begs to differ: In her exclusive interview with RadarOnline.com Allred slams the ad and CBS’s decision to air it, pointing out factual inconsistencies with Pam’s story. One glaring one is the fact that the act of abortion is totally illegal in the majority Catholic country of the Philippines – under all circumstances including rape and incest, and even without a provision in the circumstance that the mother’s life is in danger. The law has been in effect since 1930.<< MORE >>

ESPN's McShay joins Kiper on anti-Tebow bandwagon



Just got off a teleconference call with ESPN football insider Todd McShay, who is at the Senior Bowl, and he's clearly not tip-toeing around about the NFL prospects of college football's biggest name. Let's just say McShay won't be getting any dinner invitations from Tim Tebow or members of Gator nation any time soon. McShay not only thinks Tebow might be available to the Jacksonville Jaguars in the THIRD ROUND of the NFL draft, he also fired this shot across the bow about the 2007 Heisman Trophy winner: "It's hard for me to imagine that we're going to be talking about Tim Tebow one day as a full-time starting quarterback in the NFL."<< MORE >>

Spin Wheel And See Where Tim Tebow Lands



As the NFL draft approaches (April 22-24), several news outlets, football fans and scouts are giving their best educated guesses as to which team will pick former Florida QB and Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow. ESPN draft analyst Todd McShay said recently that many in the general public can't understand why Tebow may not be a top NFL pick, but it has to do with his accuracy, how long it takes him to release the football, and the system he played in at Florida. In fact, McShay had this to say of Tebow to the Boston Globe: "He can’t play quarterback in the NFL, I’m convinced of it. From his delivery to his footwork to his accuracy, you have to absolutely strip him down and build him back up. And it’s too late." << MORE >>

Tim Tebow: Jacksonville's Most Valuable Jaguar in 2010?



There's definitely a place for Tim Tebow with the Jacksonville Jaguars next season. Voices within the organization are unanimous on that point. Team owner Wayne Weaver has described Tebow, the most decorated quarterback in Florida Gators' history, as "an iconic figure [whose] star power is incredible." Even incumbent Jaguars' quarterback David Garrard acknowledged the appeal of bringing Tebow to Jacksonville in conversation with ESPN's Jim Rome. Florida governor Charlie Crist told the Jacksonville Times-Union in December that, in talking with the Jaguars' ownership, he has suggested that the team would do well to acquire Tebow. "I think it would be great," Crist said. Indeed, the upside of having Tebow in Jacksonville seems limitless. Over the past four years, as the Jaguars have struggled to sell tickets to their games in Jacksonville Municipal Stadium, Tebow's Gators have filled all of Ben Hill Griffin Stadium's 88,548 seats with ease. For perspective, consider that Jacksonville set a record low for attendance with 42,079 on Dec. 8, when the Jaguars hosted division rival Houston in a battle of teams who were in the thick of the AFC playoff race. One week earlier, on November 28, a record-high crowd of over 90,000 spectators packed "The Swamp" past its capacity to witness Tebow's last home game as a Gator.<< MORE >>

Tim Tebow: A case of ad nauseam



Not sure if a manger is involved, or sonograms, but Tebow and his mother Pam are reportedly going to speak in the commerical — made by the conservative Christian group, Focus on Family — about how doctors had recommended that Pam, who was ill during part of her pregnancy with her fifth child, have an abortion. Had she done that, well, we'd have a different 2007 Heisman Trophy winner, for one thing. Yet there do need to be rules in this world, ones of enlightenment and compassion and reason and respect for others, even if they're rules that are not written in stone and enforced by government agencies. Don't mix religion, sport And I would start with this one: religion should not be part of sport. Period. But what if Tebow's procession of biblical verse numbers on his eye patches — guaranteed instant and massive Google hits, by the way — were verses from the Koran instead? What if they said, Believe in Morman? Scientology Saves? There Is No God? Or think of this: Death to Infidels. << MORE >>

Pam Tebow's Life Was Not Threatened in Pregnancy



We have been reporting on the sudden shift in policy by CBS News on accepting advocacy ads during the Super Bowl just in time to accept $2.5 million from Focus on the Family for an ad that features Tim and Pam Tebow. Tim Tebow is a Heisman Trophy winner and a prospective NFL player. When pregnant with Tim, Pam Tebow was in the Philippines on a mission and became ill with amoebic dysentery. Early reports indicated that she was faced with a choice of continuing the pregnancy at the risk to her life. That appears not to be true. Indeed the very facts of the situation are now in question. << MORE >>

Tebow Wobbles in Senior Bowl Workouts



If Tim Tebow is Superman consider taking snaps under center his kryptonite. Performing drills with fellow South team quarterbacks...Tebow fumbled the ball at least twice while taking snaps under center...[and] fell into his same old habits — holding onto the ball too long, locking onto receivers and throwing wobbly passes.

Tim Tebow's The Wide World of Jorts



Spanning the globe to bring you the constant variety of jorts… the thrill of victory… and the agony of defeat… the human drama of athletic competition… This is the Wide World of Jorts! Jorts come in all styles and sizes, from the cutoff. to the hemmed formal jort onto the waaaay too tight nut huggers. A proponent of jorts, Florida quarterback Tim Tebow is not shy about rocking them whether he's in the classroom, on the field or assuming the missionary position in the Philippines. This slideshow features Tim modeling some of his favorite flavors of jorts. Enjoy Tim's Wide World of Jorts, aka Tim Tebow Rocks the Jorts, Of Course, Volume Two. << MORE >>

Florida Gators Coach Urban Meyer Hospitalized with Chest Pains



The Florida Gators football team got a scare after their SEC Championship Game loss to Alabama, as head coach Urban Meyer was hospitalized with severe chest pains. Meyer reportedly checked himself into the Shands Hospital in Gainesville early Sunday morning but has been released according to a source in the Florida athletic department. According to Florida spokesperson Steve McClain, Meyer was treated for dehydration, but is doing "is doing well now." His usual post-game show has been delayed as a result of the hospitalization. Meyer is known to have an arachnoid cyst on his brain that has caused him extreme pain when stressed. He has been hospitalized in the past as a result of stress, however, it is unclear if he has ever been hospitalized for chest pains. << MORE >>

Bearcats Will Have Tim Tebow's Gators Crying in Sugar Bowl



Whether it was the loss of Percy Harvin to the pros, the loss of OC Dan Mullen to Mississippi State, or the dwindling magic of the "Tebow Child," Florida's offense had regressed so significantly from its 2008 iteration that Alabama's defensive manhandling in the conference championship was foreseeable from at least the middle of the season, when the Gators were struggling to put away lesser outfits from Arkansas and Mississippi State.Still, it seemed like the Gators could lean on their defense in close games. Until recently, that defense led the nation in points and yards allowed, and had returned not only every significant starter, but many of the significant backups from the 2008 national championship squad. Alabama undid that myth, piling up just shy of 500 yards and 32 points on a Gator defense that was averaging half of that yardage total and a quarter of that point total through 12 games. There should be no more myths about the 2009 Florida Gators left intact. They are beatable. They are human. Tebow has been stripped of his immortality; he moves among us as a muttering, weeping mortal.<< MORE >>

Tim Tebow: Football and Christian Privilege



Tebow is the senior quarterback for Florida. He's well known not only for his great football skills, but for his evangelical Christianity. He was home schooled by missionary parents and noticeably writes Bible verses across his face while playing. I have a really hard time imagining a football player being able to write "Allahu akbar" across his face in Arabic, or even worse, "There is no God." Even if the NCAA would legally allow these other sayings, the fallback from fellow players, coaches, and fans would be so great that a Muslim or atheist player probably wouldn't even consider it. But it's not just because of its religious. By writing anything distinctive on his face, he's drawing attention to himself. Showboating after touch downs is explicitly forbidden in college football, yet drawing attention to yourself with Bible verses is okay? << MORE >>

Admit It, Tim Tebow Is Your Hero



So my buddies at Wondershot put this video together together making fun of Tim Tebow. It’s an “ad” for the Tim Tebow School Of Life. And aside from the redneck with the amazingly beautiful teeth and the eyeblack that’s obviously electrical tape, it’s a solid effort. Plus it has a terrific dig on Dan Shanoff. And jorts on the Heisman Trophy? I think Spencer Hall just came. Who else’s name could I drop in here? Jesus? Fine. Jesus it is. << MORE >>

Dunlap's indiscretion could cost Gators a title



So Carlos Dunlap, one of the top pass rushers in the college football, and now one of the top idiots after an arrest on drunk driving charges, has been suspended from Saturday's all-important SEC championship. All of you sorry Florida football fans who were snickering at Bobby Bowden's retirement Tuesday, saying the man ran a program filled with kids who often ran afoul, well, you may all shut up. Because Urban Meyer's top-ranked and defending national champion Gators, only about to play another national semifinal game with Alabama, have one more thing to overcome, in this case a truly major distraction, not to mention a sudden and rather gaping hole at defensive end.So Meyer's team has another challenge, this in a season of challenges - as if this rematch with the Crimson Tide isn't enough. It also dredges up all the arrests - granted, many of them for minor stuff - this football program has rung up over the last few years, the not-so-silver lining in the empire Meyer has built. << MORE >>

Tebow, Gators have trouble dealing with blitz



Usually Tim Tebow's jersey is dirty when he's lunging for first downs. Now he's getting dirty 10 yards behind the line of scrimmage — and often. Tebow has taken a career-high 21 sacks this year, third-most in the SEC and far more than his previous career high of 15 from 2008. It's obvious blitzes are bothering the Gators, specifically zone blitzes. Tebow hinted at the problem Saturday night, and LT Carl Johnson says that extra man is crippling the Gators. "Sometimes it’s just a misread," Johnson said. “We don’t take pride in giving up sacks. We try our best to protect him. We try our best to make sure he has time in the pocket. A lot of teams are just blitzing us a lot. Sometimes they are bringing more than we actually can protect." << MORE >>

After Georgia chips away at Tebow, Man of Steel could crumble later



If Tim Tebow makes it the end of the season without another debilitating injury, it will be a minor miracle. Florida might have worked 'em silly, Georgia almost knocked Tebow silly. It wouldn't be the first time for a Gators opponent. We already know Superman isn't indestructible after that concussion suffered in Kentucky. At this rate, something big and terrible is coming. The effect of the hits now seem cumulative. Even the great Tebow couldn't hide the beating he took. A couple of times he took his time raising himself from the turf. Georgia linebacker Rennie Curran in particular stuck Tebow. Tebow showed no outward signs of damage. In fact, he sprinted around the rim of Jacksonville Municipal Stadium for a final victory lap in his last Georgia game. But could Georgia somehow have an impact on the national championship by being part of the cumulative effect? << MORE >>

Spikes will sit whole game. Will Meyer be joining him?



Florida’s Spikes was suspended for trying to poke Georgia’s Washaun Ealey in the eye last Saturday in Jacksonville. Originally, coach Urban Meyer suspended Spikes for one half of the Vanderbilt game. After a national media backlash against the punishment as being inadequate, it was announced after practice on Wednesday that Spikes would sit the entire game. Spikes said he asked that his punishment be extended because he didn’t want to be a “distraction” to the team. We’ll deal more with that decision in the next note. But here is what I want to know. Did Urban Meyer break the SEC commissioner’s rule on not publicly criticizing officials? If so, could he be sitting out the Vanderbilt game with Spikes? << MORE >>

Meyer misses chance to send right message



A whole half? Against Vanderbilt? Against a 2-7 team that has lost five consecutive games, was out-scored 104-51 in its last three and ranks last in the Southeastern Conference in scoring, passing, time of possession, red zone offense and red zone defense? That’s the penalty imposed by Florida football coach Urban Meyer after watching his All-America linebacker viciously attempt to gouge the eyes of a Georgia running back during Saturday’s game in Jacksonville? That’s the punishment Brandon Spikes faces for his thuggish assault, which was unquestionably intended to injure, perhaps permanently, a defenseless opponent who was pinned under a pile of tacklers? That’s it? Spikes is suspended for the first half against Vandy? So much for Meyer, no matter how many championships he wins, being a better man than his coaching peers. So much for Florida, despite its successes on the field, serving as a model for the way all big-time college football programs should be run. So much for class. And character. And courage. Because what Spikes did to Georgia’s Washaun Ealey — a video clip from the CBS telecast is getting thousands of hits on YouTube — was as cowardly as it was deliberate. << MORE >>

Florida Turns Blind Eye to Eye-Gouge



Among the things the folks at Human Rights Watch keep track of are places on the globe that employ particularly cruel forms of punishment, like, for example, eye gouging. The good news is that for quite some time the list of governments employing such barbarism has been shortening. In fact, it was down to just two, Iran and Saudi Arabia. Monday, however, that list apparently expanded with an announcement from the Florida Gators' football office that suggested it appeared to embrace the barbaric penalty.Are we to surmise that Spikes didn't get a full-game suspension because he tried to rip out only half of Ealey's eyes and not the whole set?<< MORE >>

Florida’s punishment of Spikes doesn’t fit crime



Eye-gouging is considered such a foul, filthy act that it’s banned by even our most blatantly combative exercises, including mixed martial arts and pro wrestling. Sherriff Urban Meyer of the Gainesville PD isn’t as concerned, apparently. Florida linebacker Brandon Spikes was caught on film purposefully jamming his fingers through the facemask of Georgia running back Washaun Ealey on Saturday in an effort to rip at Ealey’s eyes. It was about as ugly and unbecoming of a play as there is in football. For the act, Meyer will bench his star linebacker for the first half of the Gators’ game against Vanderbilt. Repeat: one half. That penalty isn’t a joke, although the man dishing it out is acting like one. << MORE >>

Meyer goes soft on Spikes with half-game suspension



Florida coach Urban Meyer’s apparent policy on eye-gouging is now clear. Only a successful blinding or maiming can result in a full-game suspension. Meyer suspended Brandon Spikes for only the first half of the Gators’ next game against Vanderbilt for eye-gouging Georgia running back Washaun Ealey. I’m not sure if missing one half of a Vanderbilt game really qualifies as discipline. But apparently SEC commissioner Mike Slive didn’t want to get in Meyer’s way on this one. I guess Slive only worries about the real serious issues: sound bites about referees, not trivial matters like jamming fingers into eyeballs.<< MORE >>

Florida Gators deny rift between Tim Tebow, Brandon Spikes



The Gators, despite their undefeated record, had a lot of conflict last week. The offense was struggling mightily, especially in the Red Zone, and Tebow, Meyer and offensive coordinator Steve Addazio were taking a lot of heat. “Last week it was, ‘The Ship is sinking. The boat’s got holes in it,’” Meyer said. “It was a hard week on all of us,” Addazio said. “These kids feel and hear all this stuff going on. You’re sitting here, you’re having a hell of a year, you listen to this stuff, it’s like, ‘Wow.’ It can tug in a lot of places.” Then rumors started to fly that Tebow and Spikes had a nasty exchange in the locker room in Starkville. Spikes was asked about it after the Georgia win. “It wasn’t nothing. It was all positive,” Spikes told reporters. “We came together me and him, got the team together and we kind of got things right.” “It was a hard week, because we were frustrated,” Tebow said. “We weren’t living up to our potential or executing as well as we should have been.” When asked about it Sunday, Meyer denied that any rift occurred between his two star players. “There was no finger-pointing speech, and there was no altercation. I’m not sure where you’re gathering your information,” Meyer said. “There was a very positive speech about staying focused. … Very passionate locker room about how we can play better, but there was no altercation whatsoever.” Later, Meyer admitted that words were exchanged — by everyone. << MORE >>

Should 24 arrests warrant more scrutiny for Florida football?



There is no question Urban Meyer made the right decision when he spurned Notre Dame, his self-professed "dream job," four years ago to become football coach at Florida. Better weather, better access to better players, better chance to win. Meyer's Gators have won two of the last three BCS national titles. Notre Dame hasn't won a title since 1988. But ask yourself this: Had Meyer taken the Notre Dame job, would he still be there if 24 Irish players had been arrested under his watch? These are curious times in Gainesville.<< MORE >>

Spikes Goes Berserk On Players’ Eyes



All-American linebacker Brandon Spikes was caught on camera by CBS blatantly eye-gouging Georgia tailback Washaun Ealey in the pile. "That's how they play," said Ealey, who called such dirty tactics routine for the Gators after gaining 70 yards on 17 carries in the loss. "They got me on the ground, and they were doing it all night. The refs just weren't seeing it." That's well beyond unacceptable, and it makes you wonder about the character of guys like Florida coach Urban Meyer and defensive coordinator Charlie Strong; you can't miss such behavior on film. SEC commissioner Mike Slive, who is so fond of dispatching formal reprimands for actions as picayune as questioning officials, should have the brass to act immediately given such an egregious display of unsportsmanlike conduct; anything less than a one-game suspension of Spikes would represent a scandalous show of favoritism by Slive. << MORE >>

Tebow's Touchdown Mark, Trick or Treat?



Saturday, Tebow, who trails the Georgia running back by one rushing touchdown for his career, is likely to break Walker's all-time rushing touchdown total in the SEC. Or is he? It seems there's a bit of an accounting error in the record books. See, the SEC didn't start counting bowl game touchdowns in the end of season totals until recently. So Herschel Walker actually scored five more touchdowns for the Bulldogs that don't appear in his official stats. That means Walker's 49 career rushing touchdowns should actually be 54 career rushing touchdowns. Now, right now, you might be thinking to yourself, that doesn't really matter very much. But if you know Georgia and Florida fans, you know the exact opposite is true, it matters an awful lot, particularly for Georgia fans who continue to worship at the altar of St. Herschel even as we approach 30 years since he last scorched across the Sanford Stadium grass. << MORE >>

Florida Gators' Tim Tebow's mission should be to win games, not souls



Thank God Tim Tebow is a senior at the University of Florida. Or, if Tebow was talking for me, "Praise the Lord!" I don't know how many more "God bless" comments I can stand from the 2007 Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback. Religion - except for the "Hail Mary" pass - has no place in sports. In Tebow's case, he should play football and forget about us sinners for 31/2 hours every Saturday. Somehow, we'll survive without him displaying a "John 3:16" Bible verse under his eyes. We separate church and state. Why not church and sports? Would it fly with the NCAA or TV networks if a player exhibited "God is dead" on his face? Freedom of expression would be wiped away as quickly as the greasepaint. << MORE >>

SEC's Officiating Morass Gets Deeper, But the Next Steps Are Simple, Not Nuclear



This is a blown call. It's hard to see on the video, and not exactly obvious in the poorly-angled still shots, especially if each one was taken alone. But Dustin Doe did not cross the goal line with that football, and scored a phantom touchdown that put Florida up 29-13 and basically iced a game that ended 29-19. So Dan Mullen has a right to be mad. << MORE >>

Best collegian ever? Tebow No. 2, Herschel still No. 1



Tim Tebow is the greatest collegian of the 21st Century. But the greatest collegiate player ever? Not quite. That distinction falls to a man who played for the other side in the World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party, and I speak of … Zippy Morocco. OK, I’m kidding. You know who I mean. As majestic as he was against everybody, Herschel Walker was never so splendid as those three afternoons in Jacksonville. He rushed for 649 yards and scored eight touchdowns against the Gators, who were really good each year but lost three times simply because they didn’t have Herschel. (Granted, Lindsay Scott had a bit to do with the 1980 outcome.)<< MORE >>

Ex-Gator’s Concussion Sheds Light on Tebow’s



The player looked up woozily through his face mask at University of Florida medical personnel peering through, asking if he was O.K. He wasn’t. He had sustained a concussion, a serious one — and it was going to be a very, very big deal. This player was not Tim Tebow, the Heisman Trophy-winning Gators quarterback who was knocked unconscious during a game on Sept. 26 and was still not cleared to play Saturday night in a crucial game against Louisiana State. The player was Scot Brantley, a star linebacker in Gainesville from 1976 until a September 1979 afternoon when a similar knee to the head ended his Florida football career. Brantley is now 51. He has severe short-term memory loss, most likely because of the persistent football head trauma from high school, college and then eight seasons in the N.F.L. And he is living proof of how much has changed, and perhaps not, over 30 years with regard to the management of high-profile college football concussions.<< MORE >>

Tebow medically cleared to play



Senior quarterback Tim Tebow has been cleared by Florida's medical staff to play in tonight's game against No. 4 LSU, a source close to the situation told The Gainesville Sun. A decision on whether Tebow will start the game or not will be made at game time, the source said. According to a report on ESPN, Florida coach Urban Meyer says Tebow will play. "If he's ready to play, cleared to play, we're going to play him," Meyer said Saturday morning in an interview with ESPN's Tom Rinaldi. << MORE >>

In Honor of Tim Tebow: 10 Great Football Careers Ended By Concussions



Though the University of Florida and coach Urban Meyer have been nothing but careful with their words, I don't think there was ever really a doubt that Tim Tebow would play in tonight's big game against LSU. This, just two weeks removed from a hellacious concussing hit that earned him an ambulance ride to the hospital in the middle of the game. The inevitability of this is even more disturbing considering the recent study commissioned by the NFL, which found a number of crippling consequences from not giving these head injuries proper time to heal. With that in mind, we've assembled a list of 10 great NFL careers ended - most later than they should have been - by concussions. The human brain is by far the most mysterious organ in the human body. And one of the only things we do know is that we know practically nothing about how injuries affect the brain. The recent report by HBO's Real Sports showed that playing after a concussion can lead to permanent brain damage and/or death. And the younger the brain, the more potentially severe the damage. << MORE >>

Urban Meyer, Lane Kiffin, and Mike Slive Walk into The Bar...



SEC commissioner Mike Silve hosts a clandestine meeting with Florida’s Urban Meyer and Tennessee’s Lane Kiffin at The Bar in Coral Gables, Fla... SILVE: Have a seat, boys. Before we begin, let’s go over your cover stories... KIFFIN: Wait a second, who picked this place? We’re smack in the middle of Hurricane country for crying out loud. Randy Shannon’s got his posse covering every corner around here. They spot us and we’re good as toast. SILVE: Quit your bellyaching, Lane. Neither one of you can recruit worth a squat south of Okeechobee...it’s like you’re invisible here. Besides, I saw Butch Davis at the airport and that’ll keep the Miami fellas busy for a day or two. << MORE >>

Meyer: Tebow not cleared to practice, play vs. LSU



Florida quarterback Tim Tebow is reading, watching television, attending class, studying tape and doing everything else he was before his concussion. Except practicing. Could Tebow play if he receives clearance late in the week? "I can't answer that," Meyer said. "Can Tim play quarterback at Florida against a very good defense without practicing? I don't know that. It's going to be as we move on." << MORE >>

Tim Tebow Injury: Updates and the spin...



The Florida Gators don’t play again until October 10th against LSU. When that game is played, It will have been only two weeks since Tim Tebow went down with a severe concussion. Anyone with any grasp of the severity of concussions (or if you watched the special about it on Real Sports earlier this month) should be somewhat terrified that Urban Meyer thinks Tebow will play: Meyer said Monday that Tebow has a headache, but is eating well. He thinks — but doesn’t know — that his star player will be ready to go against the Tigers. There is no specific timeline for concussion recovery, and how long players who suffer them need to sit out, but it should certainly be longer than two weeks. You know, it really is just a football game. << MORE >>

The Trouble With Tim Tebow: Florida QB Dominates College, But Many Lefties Flop in the NFL; a Backward Spin



When it comes to football quarterbacks, the picture is a bit murky. Southpaws have excelled in the college game, winning Heisman trophies and national championships. But when it comes to the NFL, the jury is out. For every lefty who's become a star, there's a long trail of disappointments. As one of the greatest left-handed college quarterbacks of all time—Florida's Tim Tebow—steams toward next year's draft, NFL teams are going to have to figure it out sooner rather than later. There are five left-handed quarterbacks on NFL rosters at the moment. None is a starter. John Maxymuk, a librarian and football author from Rutgers University-Camden, says he can find only 12 lefty quarterbacks who've played in at least 50 pro games. Successful left-handed quarterbacks like Steve Young, Mark Brunell and Ken Stabler are the rare few who've had lasting success. "There's no simple explanation for it," says former NFL quarterback and ESPN analyst Ron Jaworski.<< MORE >>

Tebow's greatness many things, including false idol



This one's going to hurt. It's going to hurt you, and it's going to hurt me. It might hurt Urban Meyer. About the only person I'm sure it won't hurt is the person I'm attacking, in a nice way: Tim Tebow. He's almost perfect. He's definitely impervious. So this attack isn't directed at Tim Tebow, girded as he is by a hide of horse and the love of God. It's directed at those who would beatify the man. Look at it this way: If Tebow goes to Purdue or Auburn, does he win one Heisman or two national titles? I doubt he wins any of it. But put some of the other great players in college history — Herschel Walker, Jim Brown, Barry Sanders, Doug Flutie — at another school, and they're going to achieve the same level of greatness. << MORE >>

Kryptonite Found In Kentucky; What Is A Concussion?

Tim Tebow Injury Update!



UPDATE - Here is a third update on the Tim Tebow concussion injury plus YouTube video of Tebow’s injury getting hurt and knocked out Saturday against Kentucky. Tebow’s injury resulted in his hospitalization overnight. Finally Sunday afternoon, Tebow was discharged. Tim is now back home resting. Gators coach Urban Meyer told press late Sunday: “Tim is doing fine this morning. His CT scans came back and indicated that Tim suffered a concussion. Our medical and athletic training staff will continue to monitor him to determine how much rest and recovery he needs. We will have additional information and updates this week.” << MORE >>

Tebow out of UK hospital, status uncertain for LSU



University of Florida linebacker Ryan Stamper has seen plenty of football players get concussions during his five-year collegiate career. Nothing in his lengthy Rolodex of personal experience prepared him for what he saw Saturday night in Kentucky. When Florida's Tim Tebow went down with 3:57 left in the third quarter, Stamper said his "heart just dropped." So, too, did the collective heart of Gator Nation. On Sunday, coaches, players and fans of the No. 1 team in the country did not celebrate the 41-7 victory against Kentucky. Instead, they were left to worry about the health of their beloved senior quarterback and about how his possible absence from the starting lineup might affect the rest of the season. << MORE >>

Tim Tebow injury




Florida quarterback Tim Tebow was injured after being on the receiving end of a brutal — but legal — hit from Kentucky defensive end Taylor Wyndham Saturday, staying down on the field for several anxious moments before eventually walking off the field under his own power. Wyndham rushed in virtually untouched from his right defensive end position and drilled Tebow when he was looking in the opposite direction — and as Tebow went down, his head was hit by the leg of a Florida offensive lineman. Tebow at first appeared to have suffered a head or neck injury in the collision, and the entire Florida team walked toward the field to show support for their leader. << MORE >>

One More Reason To Want To Be Tim Tebow - "T-Bone Me" Shirts



While clearly this young lady has qute the affinity for Tim Tebow’s syle of play, his winning attitude, his unquestioned leadership, his impecable pedigree…she would prefer if they kept the relationship out of the “end zone”. Thom Brennaman and Gary Danielson say you don’t know what you are missing honey. Either way, grandma, as you can see, wholeheartedly disapproves. This is further proof of why every guy wishes he was Tim Tebow, just without the strong morals or desire to wait until marriage. << MORE >>

Tim Tebow, Now With Kung Fu Grip Action



Thousands of men in the panhandle of Florida just qualified the difference between a doll and an action figure with the inception, albeit probably pretty illegally, of the Tim Tebow Action Figure.

Gators win but Kiffin's still laughing



Shame on Urban Meyer. Shame on Tim Tebow. Shame on the Florida Gators. They were supposed to give Gator Nation Lane Kiffin's head. Instead, all they got was more of Lane Kiffin's mouth. Tennessee 13, Florida 23. Florida gets the official victory, but Kiffin gets the win. << MORE >>

Dadgum, Bobby's right: 'Noles' Ward better than Tebow



Bobby Bowden said something interesting a few days ago. No, really, he did. The Florida State coach wasn't talking about college football powerhouses of 2009, because he has little of value to add to that discussion, but Bowden did say something interesting. He said Tim Tebow wasn't the best football player in college football history. Or in state of Florida history. Or even in the past two decades. He said Florida quarterback Tim Tebow wasn't better than former Florida State quarterback Charlie Ward. He didn't quite say they were even, either. He said Ward was better. And people went nuts. << MORE >>

Tim Tebow takes it off for ‘GQ,’ so you can get off (we all win)



Praise jeeeeezus! The two-time national champ, Heisman-Trophy-winning bible thumper and Florida Gators quarterback Tim Tebow shows off what the lawd gave him in a 7-page spread in GQ’s September issue, hitting newsstands this week. Just looking at these photos already has me on my knees. The scripture quoting 22-year-old is known to write passages like John 3:16 on his face–so fans can Google the meaning. Sort of like how I write “DSL: 7:30″ on my face so my fans will know what time I get off work, and which bathroom stall to meet me in.<< MORE >>

Tim Tebow's Shirtless Photo



Speaking of the Gators, no sooner than Tim Tebow called Urb’s S.I. cover shot ridiculous, he himself appeared in an even crazier G.Q. spread. However, there’s something missing in this picture and I can’t put my finger on it. He has his Gator pants….he’s in the swamp…he’s dropping back to pass…he has his eye black. So what is it….wait a minute! He’s shirtless! Jungle staffer and former Real World cast member and Days Of Our Lives soap hunk Kyle Brandt thinks that’s out of line. First, A-Rod made out with himself…then Mark Sanchez channeled the Hoff’…and now this. << MORE >>

Ol' Ball Coach says Tebow snub a mistake



South Carolina's Steve Spurrier admitted Friday that he was the coach who did not vote for Florida's Tim Tebow as the first-team All-Southeastern Conference quarterback. Spurrier, appearing during the final day of SEC Media Days, said his ballot was filled out by a staff member, and that staff member voted for Mississippi quarterback Jevan Snead. Spurrier said that the staff member, when later asked if he voted for Tebow, said that since there were already so many Florida players on the ballot, he decided to go with Snead. But Spurrier took responsibility for the mistake, apologized to Tebow, and said he would rank Tebow with his former Florida player Danny Wuerffel as perhaps the two greatest quarterbacks in college football history. << MORE >>

Tim Tebow...wait for it...Virgin?



Well, SEC Media Days have come and gone with them some interesting revelations, pardon the pun, have surfaced. A reporter for Fanhouse, Clay Travis, had the guts to ask a question most only consider appropriate for one-on-one interviews, if at all. With all the bible-thumping that Tebow does publically, where it’s unsolicited, a reporter asked him whether he practiced what he preached. After all, he IS a top football talent, and is pursued and adored by females across the state of Florida. And Tebow, who appears to have thought about how he would answer this questions if ever posed, said yes, he indeed is saving himself for marriage.<< MORE >>
