Timmy Ice Tebow...

Many said he'd never be an NFL QB...

And isn't it interesting how nobody gives two sh its about Newton anymore but Tebow has been made into the most popular guy in sports. Part of it might be his team's record, but I think there's another huge reason.

Why are we bringing race into this?

I dont think race has anything to do with it.

I believe its purely record.. with Newton not playing for anything but experience this season.. and Tebow with playoffs on the line.

Also the enigma that surrounds Tim Tebow (christian boy with the unorthadox throwing motion who most NFL big wigs thought would fail) is what is bringing him all the attention.

I may be wrong, but I think thats what ateam was talking about.

i think that is what he was talking about also.. I do disagree though.


Also to Clip Clop's point about Newton vs Tebow.

I believe there is a massive difference in playing in the NFC South compared to the AFC West. Oakland is the only competitive team in that division and they are trending downward.

Bolts were most people's third or fourth best team in the AFC beginning of the year.

Dude the Eagles were the superbowl favorites with the Packers at the beginning of the year. Football ratings prior to football being played is just rhetoric.

You honestly think if Tebow were black he'd be getting half the coverage he's getting?

This is probably going to come off wrong, but whatever. I think you are on the right track, but I don't think it's a race thing. It's the "aww shucks, I'm a really nice guy and a virgin" thing that makes people rabid about Tebow.

He's that really, really nice guy in high school that all of the girls LOVED, but wouldn't sleep with if their life depended on it and vice versa. The only difference is instead of being in the drama club, he was playing football. People fawn all over him because he acts like they want to off the field, but don't because it's a hell of a lot more fun not to. And Bayless loves him because they are both religious nuts.

It should be interesting to see how the next year or so unfolds.

Remember A.C. Green? If you do it probably isnt because of his on court play

You think Tebow gets attention because he is white? Arent like 80% of NFL QB's white?

Is that what I said? I didn't say he's getting attention because he's white. I said it sure as hell helps.

Tebow said on the news last night, "Golly it is exciting to play against a defense like the Bears this week."




Golly.
You cannot fake that.

Yeah Cam Newton is a phony, selfish thug with a pimp for a father.

Cam Newton is none of those things.
I can understand how a Bama fan would have so much hate though. He did break your heart last year.

how can you disagree that Newton's father is a pimp?

Newton was a selfish thug in college. He seems to have matured though.
