BOLT: Tim Tebow

I know that Tim Tebow is a hero and a prophet and the greatest thing to come into football since the football, but is it major ESPN "bottom line" news that he has strep throat. Am I really supposed to care? If my brother gets strep throat, I don't expect Tim Tebow to care. Although, from what the media makes him out to be, I'm sure he would sit at my brother's bedside and read him stories until he fell asleep, and then magically cure him with fairy dust. But seriously, he was a very, very good college football player (certainly no Herschel Walker). He won two championships, but in one of them, he only came in for QB draws. Chris Leak was the starter and no one gives a shit about Chris Leak. Florida was a great team with Tebow, but let's not forget that they've put some other great offensive players in the pros, as we've already seen early success from Percy Harvin Louis Murphy and Andre Caldwell. Urban Meyer is also one of the greatest offensive coaches in the game. AND their defense is always top-notch. Tebow didn't even have that great a year, but had a chance to win the Heisman until late, because everyone wanted him to. I really don't have anything against Tim Tebow himself. I thought it was admirable the way he took things upon his shoulders last season, and I respect his faith, and accept his attribution of athletic success to a deity, even though there are some holes in that theory. I just can't wait until he becomes a back-up NFL player so that everyone will shut the hell up. Though, at the same, I do hope he feels better. 103 fever is rough.
