Title: DUmmies Discuss Tim Tebow
Post by: GOBUCKS on April 29, 2013, 11:57:41 AM
Although Tim Tebow seems to be a pretty awful NFL quarterback, he also seems to be a very decent and civilized young man.

That is more than enough to inspire hatred from the DUmmies:

15. Next edition. Breaking,
Tebow cut after it was learned that his application was misread as knuckleballer instead of knuckle dragger.

4. With Our Luck, The Minnesota Vikings Will Sign Him.
Another hapless adventure by the team that's getting a huge new palace to play in, funded in a major part by the taxpayers of Minnesota.
 
Pray for him now, and at the hour of his fumble

17. My first memory of Tebow is those sill eye blacks
with the bible verses. playing to the cameras and promoting himself seemed to me.
Always drew attention to himself - yet football more than any other sport is about team.

Alarmingly, I agree to an extent.

I detest the "look at me, look at me, look at me" compulsion of some modern athletes.

The Bible verse eye black is a more civilized version of the 0bamaite savages with their dreadlocks and dancing displays.

And the Jets are not God or even close.

33. You can only ride a wave for just so long.
His time was up.

Oh well. He can always be a missionary.


My only real gripe with Tebow is that he wears his golf glove on the wrong hand.

Whether you stand on the right side of the ball or the wrong side of the ball, the glove goes on your top hand.

I don't know what to think about Tim Tebow at this point.  After watching him, I'd say he doesn't perform good pre or post snap reads of the defense, he tended to lock into one reciever too much, and the mechanics of his throw are just awful.  His upside is that he is strong enough and fast enough to make up some for poor reads.  He'd make one hell of Fullback in the mode of Mike Allstot though.

I think that if he is given more time as an NFL starter a lot of the read issues would be self-correcting. Now the mechanics of his throws are another matter all together.

The primitives want him to fail because he's a Christian and his belief system doesn't conform to theirs.  If Tebow were a kook that hated Bush, etc... their whole attitude would be different.  If he were black instead of white they'd be forced to sing a whole different tune, too.  Shows how shallow they are.

The Tebow sideshow wasn't nearly as good as the Jets' head coach posting foot fetish photos of his wife on the internet.

Or getting a big tattoo of her wearing a Tebow jersey and nothing else.

It's not like the Jets actually played him to speak of, and considering how well they did, they really didn't have shit to lose in trying.  It's kind of a wash, other than losing the time he spent with them from his useful playing life.

Bingo! I hope he continues to educate the American public on his beliefs and how the sports media, or any media for that matter, does not speak for him.

Yet some call themselves Christians.

I am sure Tim Tebow would be a much better player if given the chance. I think he would be better off in a different team.

It's possible, but I wouldn't bet on that one.  The fact the Jets sucked so bad without playing him doesn't reflect much on him, really, which is why I look at it as a wash deal.

Maybe, if he tried a different position, but chances are slim, since then he'd be competing with gifted athletes who've played the position since childhood.

And what team would willingly sign up to have that kind of chaos and polarization in their locker room?

It's hard to imagine that anyone would, now that Al Davis is dead.

Can you imagine the emotion if (a)Tim Tebow carried a (b)pit bull into (c)an Olive Garden, and ordered a (d)American beer (for the dog, of course)?

(Correct answers: (a) his chances are better than zero, about the same as a Vince Young comeback; (b) the only good pit bull is a dead one; (c) love Olive Garden, about the only national chain not within ten miles of here; and (d) Rolling Rock, in the Bible, is called "manna". I'm sure everyone can agree on those items.)

We had Chris Carter who was very religious. And there was a Reggie"White? who was an ordained Minister

Tebow is a QB and for some reason they decide to go after him. I think his mother spoke out against abortion?

The Liberal press doesnt like him and never will.

My only real gripe with Tebow is that he wears his golf glove on the wrong hand.

GoBucks, that is the rare cross-handed grip. He is wearing the glove on the proper hand. I know. My dad is a scratch golfer who is also cross-handed.  It comes from being ambidextrous, which runs in my family, though the golfing skills do not. 
P.S. I think Norseman will be a headline in a newspaper someday.

My handicap has never been in single numbers, so I'm no nadin of the golf course, but the picture is of a normal left-handed grip, not cross-handed.

A lefty has his right hand at the end of the grip, a right-hander has his left hand at the end of the grip.

Tebow's glove is bass-ackward.

He claims it's to protect his throwing hand, and sometimes even wears two gloves.

Lots of baseball and football players are avid golf nuts, but I've never heard of anyone who wears his glove on the bottom hand.

I had a friend who used to wear his golf glove on the "wrong" hand, but it's just a matter of personal preference, though I agree you rarely see it.  I see people wearing them on both hands more often than I do the "wrong" hand.

Speaking of golf, if anyone wonders where USA4ME is from 9am till around 4 pm today, he's on the golf course, thank you very much (right handed golfer, glove on left hand).

He lost some of that muscle mass and worked in the offseason with Vinny Testaverde and Chris Weinke, who now runs a QB training program. His mechanics, according to Vinny, were vastly improved.

Being a Christian doesn't have anything to do with it. And many people on this site are atheists...the just don't bash Christians when we say something with "God" or "Jesus" in the sentence. They're adult enough to not take offense or be as judgemental as you guys. We have a live and let live world view.

When talking football there's no reason to "root" for someone who doesn't measure up as a player. Unlike liberals we don't hate people for who they are and what they believe. Or, conversely, to automatically "root" for someone because of their beliefs. It's irrelevant to the topic, which is Tebow being cut from the Jets. But, he's got a positive attitude so he'll do just fine. I'm sure he realizes "when God closes one door, he opens another".

Bitch slap for beleiving us to be some monolithic, robotic thinkers. Try going to DU and saying you're against socialized medicine or think the Pledge of Allegience should be said in school. Or that you love and support the military (well, that might be okay since 0bama is in office). Or praise for the prices at Walmart. Or even admitting you shop there and love it...any one of you that says they stop there has an excuse for why they were there. Funny thing, I shop there all time...you wouldn't believe all the 0bama/Biden, "coexist" and other leftist bumper stickers. My favorites are "Free Tibet" even though none of you believe in using any kind of force to help them be free...but so far the bumper stickers haven't worked. And coexist in ridiculous symbols. Seriously, one of you guys has to find a way to get the cross replaced because you certainly hate Christians. And the town I shop in, Eugene is only 25 to 30 miles and most of them have a Prius.
