Obviously, Jamar is now in the pro bowl just cause he spent a day with Tim the Tool.
What? He's not??
Damn, perhaps Tim is just a Tool.

Well, yeah, it is possible to multi-task but if you are really "in" to any event, you never even consider multi-tasking.
E.G. I have never blogged while attending a U/M game (even though it is certainly possible).
I have never blogged while having mad, passionate, monkey sex with my significant other.

Thom Brennaman
Thom Brennaman
Did Thom Brennaman (sp?) honestly say that in this age of cynicism and negativity, that if a person spends 5 minutes with Tim Tebow, that person will be better for it?
Ladies and Gentleman, Mr. Tebow is being groomed to assume the ESPN-suck throne of Brett Favre once Favre retires in 10 years.
And Tebow may be a great guy, but Stevie Brown would've intercepted those two passes that were picked off.
Honestly, enough with Tebow!
January 8th, 2009 at 10:31 PM |
Uh, Yup
Uh, Yup
Yeah, and it is even worse. The reason many folks are so enamored with Tim the Tool is that "god is on his side".
No, really, I'm serious.
He actually believes god has singled him out to be a really good f'ball player.

These sports commentators focus too singularly on players to the detriment of other legitimate stars or developing plays. It's nauseating.

Tebow believes everything he
Tebow believes everything he does is through God's will. You'd have to be an asshole or a massive cynic to really believe he thinks God has singled him out. I'm not at all religious, more agnostic than anything, but I can appreciate other people's faiths.

No, but to even hint that a supreme being (whether christian, muslim, hindu, or whatever) would actually give a shit about a sports event, let alone an individual player, trivializes religion in general.
Anyone who thinks this must be completely insane or just be completely conceited.

i think you're interpreting the wrong way. the idea is that his physical talents are a gift are from God. you are correct that the outcome of the game is trivial, and is rather unrelated.

Arrrggghhhhh
Arrrggghhhhh
So, Tim the Tool got his "physical talents from god". Really??
He didn't work out? He didn't spend hours and hours and hours and hours practicing and practicing and practicing??
Wow, how was he chosen instead of about 3 billion other human beings?

Two points
Two points
1. For someone named "Enjoy Life," you don't seem particularly friendly. You might want to take your own advice.
2. Yes, I absolutely believe that Tebow's talents (like those of virtually all other superstar athletes) have much more to do with inborn/genetic traits than anything he did in the gym. There's a reason people talk about "God-given ability." Lots and lots of people work out hard in the gym. 99.9% of them suck at sports anyway.

Yes, I am an atheist. But, I have many muslim friends (I spent 2 years in Saudi -- Rasool and I were best buds. This is TRUE. I am not being sarcastic.)
I almost never discuss religion. The folks at FOX (and a different blogger) initiated this part of the discussion.
Read what I said. Even as an atheist, I respect anyone's religion -- unless they actually try to propose that a supreme being would care more about a football game than the millions (not an exaggeration) of humans that starve to death every year.

I think the reason it bothers
I think the reason it bothers
I think the reason it bothers people is that there are many who think the reason they have a big house / nice car / high paying job / athletic ability is because they believe in God.
I tend to think that if someone believes in God the 'reward' is eternal life after death, not a fat bank account or laser rocket arm in this one.
Either way I can't wait til Tebow is out of college football, he's a great competitor and one of the best I've ever seen, but I'm just so sick of hearing the announcers slobber over him.
