(29,414 posts)I don't know (nor care) what team he's on, nor do I really care to see his name coming up so very often around here...
I say we substitute his name from now on with "P.D.Q. Bach" and talk about him instead

(35,773 posts)That throw is going to lead a nasty injury. I just cringe, remembering Joe Theisman, but thinking about it happening to an arm.
Yuck.

(47,675 posts)That's all for attention, best I can tell. I'm not even sure what sport he plays in, but that looks like it might be a football field. God wants him to win like God wanted Sarah Palin to win - wait, what?

(59,221 posts)I just feel sorry for him because the 49ers will win the Superbowl (I can dream). Seriously, I think he's a nice guy and humanitarian, even if he endorses a Republican. I just hope he doesn't become a gay-basher somewhere down the line

(24,721 posts)I agree with what Jesus told Tebow in the SNL locker room before Jesus left to bless a beauty pageant: Bring it down a notch. Jesus knows Tebow is all about showmanship, & so do I, which is why he's a complete turn-off to me.

(16,245 posts)He is a sanctimonious pig and I hope he loses and loses big so that all the adoring sports journalists stop talking about him.

(16,232 posts)He's a crappy quarterback and a complete blithering idiot.
For one thing - if there WERE a GOD - s/he/it wouldn't give a goddamn about FOOTBALL!

(58,179 posts)is that he is going to get fucking crushed like a bug Saturday night in Foxboro. He can endorse Jesus Christ Superstar for all I care; my opinion will not change.

(55,019 posts)sorry alerter, your other one got locked but this one seems pretty much still within lounge boundaries (not that it is a topic I give a shit about - but since even I know who this clown is so he must be a fairly well known and talked about celebrity and the discussion is pretty loungy in the thread I don't see any reason to lock it)

(27,711 posts)Tebow for who he is or the contingent beliefs with his creed. I disagree with some of his beliefs, there's a difference between that and dislike. As for his displays of religion, I wonder how people feel about baseball players who make the Sign of the Cross before entering the batters box. I would probably have a more favorable view of Tebow were he to endorse Obama. I think he'll stay out of politics from now on after the Focus on the Family debacle.

(95,337 posts)at all those fundie idiots that treat this guy like he's the 2nd coming of Christ.
HappyMe
(20,277 posts)He's not a very good qb. As far as his kneeling down, that doesn't bother me much either. There are plenty of other athletes that do the prayer thing.

(8,492 posts)The only way I'd change my opinion of him would be if he became a Bears QB. And then, I would "tolerate" him.
DISCLAIMER: Not advocating replacing Cutler...at all!
