“Blasphemer! We all need Tebow.”

by

Mel Kiper’s man-crush on Jimmy Clausen was not funny (although it was a little funny watching Jimmy stay atop Mel’s “Best Available” list for 24 hours).

On the other hand, America’s love affair with Tim Tebow is hilarious.  I confess:  I’m one of them!  How can you not be into this guy?!  The man wears God under his eyes!  The comments and articles in and around him right now are too great not to share so here are my personal faves, with links if you have time.

  • In the Friday 4/23 Page 2 podcast D.J. Gallo calls Tim Tebow “the Chuck Norris of football” and he lauds Drew Brees, who tweeted about God, for trying to out-Tebow Tebow.  He also spends time discussing that perpetually breathless quality Tim Tebow has, and I must say he’s spot on – it’s like Tim has always just finished a sprint, and feels great about it.  I listened to it twice.
  • Best line of Page 2’s Inside the brain of Tim Tebow:  “I’m especially happy to be playing a mile closer to God.”
  • The Monday Page 2 podcast:  A direct quote from Tim Tebow on his combine meeting with Josh McDaniels, read by Mike Philbrick in a voice that’s half Terminator half Kevin from the Office, “It was ball, and it was juice!!!”  It’s priceless- start at minute 9.
  • Page 2’s D.J. Gallo Recaps the Draft pick by pick:

“No. 25 — Broncos: Tim Tebow, QB, Florida
AND IT’S OVER!!! THE BRONCOS WIN THE DRAFT!!!
No. 26 — Cardinals: Dan Williams, DT, Tennessee
Really? They’re still continuing? How annoying. The Mr. Irrelevant pick moved up to No. 26 this year. And 27, 28, 29, 30 and so forth.
No. 32 — Saints: Patrick Robinson, CB, Florida State
Drew Brees announced this pick for the Saints. Or that’s the rumor. Most people stopped watching after Tebow was drafted. If the NFL is going to keep having its draft in prime time, they need to script it like a prime-time show. Nothing should be resolved until the end. The Saints should have drafted Tebow. They don’t need Tebow, you say? Blasphemer! We all need Tebow.”

Tebow is going to be SO much more fun to hear about all offseason than Favre.  See ya, Brett.

Tebow: a face only all of America could love.
