Dude the Eagles were the superbowl favorites with the Packers at the beginning of the year. Football ratings prior to football being played is just rhetoric.

I know that, just kidding. Obviously there is no comparison between the divisions. At least we have to assume that since they aren't playing each other until next year.

Dipsh$t Skippy wants Den-NE to be primetime game next week. Doubt it as its Balt-SD.

Can you imagine Tebow against NE Defense? A defense that's on pace to give 4960 yds to opposing QB's this season. Tebow a 300 yd passing game? 2nd of his career possibly.

This has not peaked yet.

They might be the only pass defense worse than Minnesota.

Tim Tebow is a legend in Florida and in the college football history books. If he's not, than I don't know who could be.

Doesn't take much? come on man. He's as accomplished as it gets in the college ranks.

You honestly think if Tebow were black he'd be getting half the coverage he's getting?

This is probably going to come off wrong, but whatever. I think you are on the right track, but I don't think it's a race thing. It's the "aww shucks, I'm a really nice guy and a virgin" thing that makes people rabid about Tebow.

He's that really, really nice guy in high school that all of the girls LOVED, but wouldn't sleep with if their life depended on it and vice versa. The only difference is instead of being in the drama club, he was playing football. People fawn all over him because he acts like they want to off the field, but don't because it's a hell of a lot more fun not to. And Bayless loves him because they are both religious nuts.

It should be interesting to see how the next year or so unfolds.

You think Tebow gets attention because he is white? Arent like 80% of NFL QB's white?

Remember A.C. Green? If you do it probably isnt because of his on court play

Is that what I said? I didn't say he's getting attention because he's white. I said it sure as hell helps.

i think tebow gets a lot of attention for several reasons. he's not an athlete that you'll ever see in legal trouble, apparently a lot of women would want someone like him for their daughter. than there's the fact that even tho all the talking heads said he would never make it, that he didn't have the talent, etc, etc, he's been able to lead his team to how many wins now?
cam newton gets a lot of attention, because he has a lot of talent. but that has faded a bit the last few weeks because tebow is winning these games, cam isn't. you can have all the skill in the world, but it's still a team sport.

i have no doubt that people can relate to tebow. and many appreciate someone who just won't stop trying, who won't quit, who works his ass off.
i didn't have much use for tebow when he was in college, but his work ethic is something to be admired. he may never win a super bowl, or go to the pro bowl, or end up in the hall of fame, but you have to appreciate someone with a positive attitude who just wants to win, and works like a dog to do it.

This is meaningless and could be used to describe 99% of NFL players. There aren't a lot of lazy slugs who don't give two craps about winning in the NFL.

He's probably still a virgin. And he has to be about 50 now.

So it helps that he is white. Ok then
if he was black he wouldn't be getting the attention he is getting?

I don't a single person who watches or is interested in Tebow because he is white.
