For years, I wouldn't listen to the Grateful Dead. Why? Because the people that liked them always annoyed the shit out of me. Such is the case with Tim Tebow. Just today I was talking to a girl about how I was going out tonight to watch the BCS Championship game, she immediately said, "Did you see the Tebow game". The TEBOW game. She knows nothing about football but knows that Tebow is great because he loves god.

Another thing that drives me nuts about Tebow (and many christians) is that Jesus said, "And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full". -Don't go around praising God for every touchdown and every win. Be humble about your faith. I think someone should have to say, "tell me about your faith" before anyone open their mouths.

Eventually, I got over the Grateful Deads annoying fan base and eventually found them to be an amazing band. Who knows, maybe the same will happen with Tebow.

So, really my dislike of Tebow is less about Tebow IMO and more about the droves of idiots that know nothing about football or the man they claim as lord, but blindly worship both.

But if I know scrimetime, god could come down from the sky and say "Tebow is my quarterback" and he'd still root for the Pats.
