New England Patriots relsease Tebow

[Coach is Back!]

Tim Tebow's response to him getting released by the Patriots.....

“I’m blessed because of my faith, because you don’t have to worry about the future, because I know who holds my future,” Tebow said. “A lot of times people use that as a cliche, but it’s something I try to live by. It really gives you a lot of peace in whatever circumstance you’re in.” - Tim Tebow

Whether you believe that sports figures should be roll models or not, if you do decide to choose one, choose this man!!

[240 is Back]

yeah, he's a great role model.  hard working, leader, and intense.  His skill set just isn't there to be a QB, however, at this level.

I think one flaw (if it's a flaw) is that he's hard headed.  His dream is to be an NFL QB - not to be an NFL player.  He could get a job as a tight end but refuses to do anything but QB. 
Maybe stubborn, maybe he just ranks it as
1) NFL QB
2) give speeches or endorse things or sportscaster and
3) NFL other position. 

And that's cool, every man has their own goal set.

Why? He doesn't know how to play NFL football. I think I'll stick with Tom Brady. Thanks anyways.

There's a whole lot of tight ends that disagree with you.

Funny.  I tell myself the same thing when I get fired.
Bible thumpers...oh brother.

Tebow wouldn't be a pro bowl tight end.  But he could be a backup or 3rd string guy, you know, the 53rd player on a shitty jax roster, for example.  He'd be the most popular benchwarmer in the league, he'd go in for 3 plays a game, they'd make ten million $ off the jerseys, and local U of F fans would love it.

He's what, 6 foot 4, 250 pounds?  He's a little slow, but if he let go of the QB dream, he could focus on it and get good enough.  A lot of what the NFL does is marketing.  There have been stars with way more fanfare than actual performance.  Why not pay him league minimum $, something like 600k$ a year... and just be a little weak at that position in return for all the ticket sales?

This shows how far putting your faith in a make believe fairy tale will get you.

sports figures are actually VERY good examples of role models - for both negative and positive.

they are given talent, very rare talent.  Some choose to nurture it and use it right.  Others take it for granted and they crash and burn.

I think it's GREAT to be able to show kids TWO examples - good and bad - and remind them we're all blessed with certain gifts and skills... we can nurture them, or we can take them for granted and crash and burn.

Great post.  Couldnt agree more.

[240 is Back]

Great post.  Couldnt agree more.

And I catch heat for that... I have ZERO problem showing a kid a rich doctor and a junkie arrested and in jail...

and saying "this man went to college for 8 years, worked his ass off, and didn't do drugs.  He's rich now and has what he wants.  This other man - he did drugs, quit school, voted Obama, and broke the law - he's in jail poor and can't do what he wants."

Some say it's cruel or mean or whatever - but it's real.  The world is cruel and unforgiving.  If you're a fckup, you grow up and don't have much.  If you work hard, your dreams can come true.  I can't stand people who candy coat reality for kids. 

YES sports is the same - Tebow is 26 years old.  He's worth about $4 mil and has the ability to earn 2 to 3 milion a year for the next five years as a speaker, than probably 750k a year as a part time sports personality.   He can retire at 40 with 25 million in the bank and enjoy 40 years of beach and relaxation.  THIS IS A GREAT ROLE MODEL. 

Then you have vince young... WAY more talent than Tebow.  Didn't get disciplined, work hard, or pay attention... didn't care.  Blew all his money, then borrowed $300k for his own birthday party.  Still trying for another chance at football, in the same spot as Tebow... THIS IS A GREAT ROLE MODEL TOO.

Show them good and bad, and let the know life will fck you mercilessly if you make poor choices.

Yes, thats exactly what that means

I just read this on FB. You don't get many atheists that would react like this. Most would be making excuses and blaming others.

Absolutely.  Sports is a microcosm of society as a whole.  There are always lessons to be learned. At all levels. Too many fans focus too much on the pure success on the field/court instead of using it as a tool to teach youth what really goes on. 

For the most part making smart decisions and working hard still pays off.  Combine that with someones natural talents and you really have something.  Of course there are always exceptions in regards to people making it, but the vast majority of the time things will work themselves out.

there are hundrerds of born again chritians in the NFL, you just like him because he is white and good looking, GTFO.

[Natural Man]

a very polite way to say "at the end of the day people can hate on me all they want,im still a multi millionaire and they arent" or "im blessed".

Sounds a lot like what lebron said.

[Obvious Gimmick]

Agreed. He's a good man with perspective.  There are 2 things that can happen:

1. He's right about the religion thing in which case Hes good (apparently)
2. He's wrong about it, in which case he's led a good life (apparently)

I'm no Christian, but I'll say it: Tim Tebow fuck yeah!

Go call Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson to express your complaint. They seem like smart people..hahahahahahaha!

so you know as little about football as you do politics?

tebow would not be a good tight end anymore than he would be a good running back

[Straw Man]

According to Zimmerman it was also Gods plan for him to shoot Martin

God also wanted me to take a shit this morning and I swear to god it happened

[Voice of Doom]

God doesn't want him to be a successful football player.  Ouch.

[Coach is Back!]

Whatever he does, he will be more successful than any of us. Check that, hea already more successful than any of us. Nice try though!

How is that a great role model when he believes the earth to be 6000 years old?

Role model for extreme stupidity perhaps.
