i totally get what you're saying. but you have to have a sense of humor about it man.
Well I did have a sense of humor about it, but ESPN has just run this thing into the ground. I can't even watch SportsCenter to catch scores or hear any sports news, because it's the Tim Tebow Show now. They would rather talk about what Tebow had for breakfast than any other actual sports news. And any football game you watch, chances are the announcers will talk about him ad nauseum, even if he's not playing in the game. It's over-saturation, which annoys me, no matter who it is about. The good thing is that it is taking a lot of media pressure off of my Packers, because with all the Tebow news they're practically flying under the radar now with their unbeaten streak. Although I hope they lose a game and can just focus on winning the Super Bowl, because the Tebow attention will die down eventually and the focus will shift back to the Packers, which I would find annoying too. In this age of 24 hours sports coverage, ESPN has become much like the 24 hour news cycle, they will find SOMETHING to run into the ground. This Tebow thing has just taken over a bit more than usual though.
don't watch espn.
...and try condensing your posts....i don't have time to read all of them at work
But as far as ESPN goes, I have pretty much stopped watching, but there isn't really any good sports alternatives. I still watch Around The Horn and Pardon The Interruption, as they mainly just have one Tebow segment. But am I also supposed to stop watching football games on account of the commentators fawning over Tebow? I would say a better solution is for them to calm down and put away their Tebow boners, or Tebowners as I call them. It's a story, but not the only story. But like I said, if it weren't Tebow it would probably be something else, likely the Packers.
Edit: I'm putting a copyright on "Tebowners".

Great post, I couldn't agree with you more! Just had a similar convo with my hubby last night. The Packers excel when they're under the radar. Remember when the Pats were at this stage and it was all 'Path to Perfection' everywhere? I'm truly happy that the Packers don't have to deal with that drama. Also, I feel like since Favre is gone, the media was desperate for their new sensation...thanks Tebow!

PTI and acutal games is about all I can handle from ESPN anymore.
The Tebow shit will go away soon. It has to. The Broncos should have lost to the Bears at home w/ a back up QB and RB going for the Bears last week. Everyone is blowing Tebow after the game, but Marion Barber is the one who gave the game away. I was there for the game....walking out of that stadium after that awful Bears loss w/ everyone chanting "Tebow, Tebow" had to be 10 of the worst minutes of my life. I had a dream about it the other night...no joke.

I think that as soon as I saw Rachel Nichols camped out on Brett Favre's lawn during one of his off-seasons of indecision (aka ESPN's Brett Favre Speculation-athon) and her reporting on every single person that came and went from his house, I realized ESPN was going down the shitter.
As Mamasan said, Tebow is just something for them to latch onto and run into the ground in a world without Favre. ESPN without Favre is like Laverne without Shirley, they're lost. They even had to make up the stupid story about Favre going to the Bears a few weeks ago just so they could talk about Favre again.
ESPN used to be just about reporting on the world of sports (although in an often humorous and fun manner) but in recent years has really gone down the road of sensationalist journalism. Especially since they have taken on Monday Night Football. In another thread somebody said it was a natural transition and was bound to happen, and that may be so, I don't like it though. It gets a little bit dumber every year.

Tebow's gonna have a big game but nobody out-Bradys Brady in the 4th quarter. 49-41 Pats.

Well, they were suspended for blocking the hallways between periods trying to make a stupid YouTube video, the fact that they happened to be Tebowing is just a detail.

Anybody see the Tebow sketch on SNL tonight? It was hilarious. They don't have it officially up, but somebody put it on YouTube, it's not the best quality, but you'll get the idea.

No way the Broncos offense puts up 41 points. Realistically with the Broncos D, I see the Pats Offense putting up 28-34 points. I think Tebow will be rattled and rushed which will cause him to throw less passes. I see no more than 17 points from them today.

Still cracking up over this one. There were a lot of funny sketches last night. The one with Beethoven (I think it was Beethoven, it was some composer) introducing "the band", The Michael Buble Duets, War Horse, lots of funny stuff.

I flip back an forth between NFL Network and ESPN for pregame on Sundays ... mostly stay on NFL Network.
ESPN has been talking about Tebow for ... not exaggerating here ... 45 straight minutes ... I just flipped over and there is some DJ Remix Tebow song being shown ... that network sucks so much.

Well, Tebow made it into the NFL record books today, although not in a way he probably wanted to. His 29 yard loss on a sack ties the record set in 1972 when Bob Griese was sacked for 29 yards by Dallas Cowboys DT Bob Lilly in Super Bowl VI. That does make this the longest loss of yardage for a sack in regular season history though.
