Things like this bring a smile to my face.

Tim Teebo is superior. To ALL the at-a-letic in the countries.

I couldn’t find the button for ‘Go Fuck Yourself’.

Please remind me. Did Vince Young throw two interceptions in his National Championship game appearance and manage a paltry 24 points against a low-ranked and decimated defense? I honestly can’t remember…

GOD knows best. Statistics lie. If you have never been caught whacking of in the closet, it’s a hell of a hiding place isn’t it?

I guess if you don’t win the Heisman or play your senior season, you’re not eligible for this?

Tebow’s a very good athlete, but if he runs for 1,000 & passes for 3,000 yards this year, he’ll be the second CFB player this decade to do so.

3rd, actually.

Yes!!! I bet Ron Karenga $50 that Tebow would win this over Vince.

With all due respect to Tebow – and he’s earned it – gimme Vince, 2k5 edition.

Tebow would not have beaten SC that night, nor Michigan the year before…

Nor would’ve anyone else – at least who’s played in the last ten years.

If you only looked at Vince’s two performances in the Rose Bowl that should be enough to qualify him in the “Athlete of the Decade” discussion.

Nobody will ever repeat those stats or those victories. I’ve posted this before, but it’s always fun to pull out again.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
In two Rose Bowl games, against two of the best defenses in college football (Michigan and USC), Vince had 847 yards and 8 TDs.

Everytime he touched the ball (98 times) against them he averaged 8.64 yards.

How many college players could take nearly 100 possesions against those two teams and keep that average?

I think that history will correct itself once Tebow is lost on an NFL roster somewhere.

Or CFL

by SeeingRed on Aug 10, 2009 9:44 AM CDT reply actions  

Or XFL, I mean he’s already got the bloody nose and bloodstained jersey and everything…Plus he’s a warrior. It’s too bad he didn’t enlist in the military, we would have won all the wars we’re currently involved in like a week after they started and captured Osama, who would obviously be kneeling at Tebow’s feet praising him as Ala.

Give me Leinart over Tebow any day of the week, but most fans would argue that Leinart wasn’t even the best player on his team (though I would disagree).
