beanman Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 I think people tend to dislike him because he's the most overhyped player perhaps in the history of sports. You can blame ESPN for that. They gushed over him like no other player in the history of sports. Quote Link to comment
champaignhusker Posted November 5, 2011 Author Share Posted November 5, 2011 People are hating on Tebow simply bacsuse he's a Christian. It's perceived as "cool" to hate on Christians today. The Bible actually warns of this. That's crap. As a Christian myself, I appreciate his beliefs. However, it's football. He sucks as a QB, will never amount to anything in the NFL until he agrees to change positions. 1 Quote Link to comment
Nebraska Alum Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Tebow's loss to Detriot was like the Roman Colosseum. He got devoured by Lions. 1 Quote Link to comment
addison Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 He still annoys me, but at the rate things are going for him, he'll be a full time missionary in the Philippines before too long. Once he's invisibly trying to convert what he sees as the wrong kind of Xian (Catholics) to the "right" kind (whatever loopy flavor of fundamentalism he ascribes to), and isn't making a show of his beliefs every time a camera is pointed at him, I'll go back to not caring whether or not he exists. Tebow made me feel better about my decision to become an agnostic. Bless him 1 Quote Link to comment
In the Deed the Glory Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 I hate him because he played for Florida and I couldn't turn on SportsCenter without Tebow-love all over the screen. He is easily the most overrated player in the history of football. I just hope it comes out that Elway/Fox are tanking it to get Andrew Luck and they decided playing Tebow would guarantee things. I would literally laugh out loud!!! Quote Link to comment
T_O_Bull Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 I really don't understand all this 'hate'. What has this young man ever done that was wrong. He's a winner and certainly a role model for all. Yes he can be a bit preechy but so what. If you want to hate somebody why not choose Mike Vick. Ofcourse he did say he did say he was 'Sorry,' sure sorry he got caught. If he hadn't got caught he'd still be killing dogs. T_O_B G>B>R It's football "hate". When I say I hate someone in football I don't actually hate them...its a game! If they were broke down on the side of the road in a blizzard I'd still stop to help, but when they're playing football I "hate" them...its part of being a fan! Vick on the otherhand is worthy of actual hate, I don't hate the guy for what he did but others do and I understand that, still don't agree with it but that's another thread entirely. You're right Badg. In sports you 'hate' the other team/player so bad because they play so good. T_O_B G>B>R Quote Link to comment
secretasianman Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Yeah, you're all right. Doesn't matter how bad y'all think Tebow sucks. Fact is, he's in the NFL and y'all are hourly employees. Quote Link to comment
Excel Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Yeah, you're all right. Doesn't matter how bad y'all think Tebow sucks. Fact is, he's in the NFL and y'all are hourly employees. Sir, you speak too soon. I earn a salary...[lifts nose up in the air and sips wine] 1 Quote Link to comment
bhamHusker Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 I haven't been paid hourly since I was a student 20+ years ago, and Tebow is still a giant douche. Quote Link to comment

Army Husker Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Living in Denver, I'm absolutely sick to death of the guy. I'm a Packer fan, so I couldn't care less about the Donkeys anyway..... and I don't really give a rat's posterior about his beliefs or not. I just think he's a mediocre player who has oodles of hype around him and won't ever be anything more than a journeyman player. Yeah, I guess if your competition was Kyle Orton, you'd look halfway decent too. I haven't met a person down here in the Springs that has anything nice to say about him... Quote Link to comment
Malth Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I'm moving back to Denver in a few months, and am dreading the non-stop Tebow fest. I was hoping the ridiculousness would die down after he graduated, instead Denver drafted him and he love fest doubled down. Quote Link to comment
broganreynik Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I dislike the guy a lot. I didn't like him when he was at Florida, because I believe he is way too public about his belief system. Personally, I think he exploits Christianity for his own gain/fame. I also think he's a douche, amongst other things that I probably shouldn't go into. That was when he was in college. Fast forward to draft day, our drinking game involves finishing your drink if your team drafts Tebow, and everyone there is saying how they don't want Tebow, even the Broncos fan... who also was a giant douche. As soon as they announced the pick he goes off "YES!!!! TEBOW! TEBOW! TEBOW!". Then when the Broncos fans were all in a tizzy wanting Tebow over Orton. Why? The same reason people here want Carnes over Martinez, because it's something different. There's absolutely nothing that should make you believe the backup would be better, that's why they're not starting in the first place (unless it's a Calliban coached team). So lo and behold, Tebow becomes the starter, and promptly makes my sleeper 15th round fantasy pick Eric Decker look like less of a bargain, and now I'm always trying to decide if I should start him, Percy Harvin or Early Doucet. So yes, the cherry on top was just something stupid about fantasy football, but it was the straw that broke the camel's back for me, haha. Basically, to me, he's the Nickelback of quarterbacks. They really suck, but I wouldn't care if they sucked if everyone weren't saying how awesome they are, and all the stations play their music all the damn time. Quote Link to comment
Hammerhead Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Yeah, you're all right. Doesn't matter how bad y'all think Tebow sucks. Fact is, he's in the NFL and y'all are hourly employees. I bet the Bible foretold Tebow playing in the NFL, didn't it? Maybe he's the Antichrist! Quote Link to comment
