What I Learned Yesterday: Tim Tebow is Really, REALLY Excited to be a Jet




Jesus H Tebow. You'd think the reporters asked something like, "Tim, We hear You're Excited to be a Jet, Can You Expound On That a Bit?" And off he went.

Is there something about being a hardcore member of the God-squad that makes you this delusional? Bro, what are you excited about? You're a back up quarterback who just completed less than 50% of your passes last season. You're being brought into run the wildcat and goal line packages after insisting you're starting quarterback. Your new head coach and his wife are into filming kinky shit involving her feet, which, while I don't think there's anything in the Bible about foot fornication, I'd imagine its frowned upon.

Your new team just straight up fell apart last year, and at the end, just about every member of the team was taking "anonymous" shots at the very mediocre quarterback you've been brought in to backup. Now I know you think that's a good thing, you think that gives you a chance to start at some point in the future, and maybe it does...But do you really want it? Do you really want to start for a team that would sell out its leader so quickly? I mean, Santonio Holmes out Judas'd Judas, last year. Sold Mark Sanchez straight down the river. Judas got a few sheckels for his betrayal, Holmes got some media airtime. And that's without even mentioning the media...Sure they love you now, but once they figure out you're not really The Messiah, they're going to turn on you. You don't gotta walk on water and whatnot, but you're definitely going to need a 100% goal line conversion rate to impress these people.

I just don't get it, I just don't get it. As a Pats fan I still love it, and as a fan of the absurd I honestly can't wait, but it still leaves me scratching my head. You can't be this positive dude. You can't honestly think this is a good situation you're walking into.
