Oh great...As if the Republicans aren't big enough cry babys, and always playing the victim card. Now apparently according to the OP, the Sports Media is now part of the vast 'liberal media' (who's only mission in life is to twist the truth around to make Republicans look bad).

About 90% of the sports media 'hate' Tebow, which according to the OP its only the 'liberals' who hate Tebow (they hate him because he invokes baby jesus every chance he gets and his mother didn't abort him), thus making the sports media part of the vast liberal media conspiracy...So I'm not sure how this works into the equation...The sports media and most real NFL players hate Tebow because everybody who knows anything about football can see what a fluke and joke he is...But again, according to the OP it can only be because you are a liberal who is po'd that he wasn't aborted and you hate jesus. So I guess the sports media is the latest member of the vast left-wing 'liberal media' conspiracy!

Poor Teapublicans, everyone is against you!

Tebow has brought some excitement to football in Denver; I'll give him that!

Yes, and the Lions openly mocked him during the game:

Lions players disrespected Tim Tebow's faith - ESPN

Espn.com summed it up pretty well:

Quote:
Imitating someone's prayer pose after a sack isn't the same as Clay Matthews flexing his biceps following a big play. It's not the same as Shawne Merriman doing his "Lights Out" dance after demolishing a quarterback.


Prayer is a sacred component of any religion. Making fun of someone else's spiritual connection is on par with ridiculing them about their family. You don't have to be a Christian to get that, just someone who understands the concept of respect.

Tebow sure is bringing out the nut case haters simply by being himself. He is not preaching or trying to convert anyone. Giving thanks is all. and the haters cant stand or be tolerant of it. Ever wonder why he doesn't defend himself against the nuts? because he is the better Man. carry on

How do you know he's straight? 'Cause he's a jock? Cause he's claims to be a virgin? Or he fits someone's fantasy of an american hero?

Though, as parfleche says, '...he is the better Man.'

Nope, couldn't care less. Didn't even know his mother was named Pam, didn't know any details about his birth and don't care. I despise him for blurring the line between sports and football. Pray inside like everyone else and keep your scriptures to yourself. If you were Muslim instead of Christian the fans would be throwing their beers at your head.

what you say about Tebow proves to me that you are bitter because he took a losing team and made them a winner and nobody has ever done that for great teams like the Cowboys when they lose their quarterback. I guess you didn't know that many people couldn't understand why Tebow was drafted as a quarterback. Defensive end or what did they want him for.
I listen to and watch the games, I listen to ESP sports everyday, I played the game in high school and think I understand the game pretty darn well. Let me give you a clue, nearly every sports commentator says the same thing, including Elway just watch him. No, Tbow is not the starting QB of the future in Denver or any other team I can think of.
Bitter? About what? How many Rings does your team have? I am a Dallas fan and a KC fan, believe me I know about disappointment and about what it feels like to win it all.
Watch and learn.
