Now the wait begins to see who will draft who. Except for the Colts. who have successfully sucked for Luck. So... okay, the wait begins to see if the Colts will sign Luck before the draft or if ESPN will force them to wait until the clock's run down to two minutes just so they can do their opening spiel without getting interrupted.

Resume.

So who else is with me in riding this Tim Tebow bandwagon until it hillariously flies off a cliff at full speed?

y2jake215

right here. Honestly hope the guy succeeds in some way or another though.

Would a Tebow sex scandal be bigger than Tiger Woods' was? What about a dogfighting ring? Sam Hurd's accomplice?
What's the most ridiculous scenario Tebow could be part of

y2jake215

don't say winning a Super Bowl

Help me pick a RB.

Reggie Bush, Beanie Wells, or Roy Helu.

Yahoo says that Helu will have a big game, but Beanie Wells is playing at home against Cleveland.

A Tebow sex scandal would be pretty huge, simply because of the focus that has been put on his... umm, virtue.

And let me tell you, if it doesn't happen then he must have a will of solid iron, because half the women in this country right now would do anything to get in his pants.

Good thing the other half have taste.

Only if I'm allowed to laugh all the way down.

So the rumor is that Sam Hurd was supplying drugs to NFL players. Like double digit numbers. Think there's going to be some fallout in the off season?

Elki

Not riding the bandwagon, I'm on the Hate Train.

tinwhiskers

The drooling, sycophant, fellatist media have done a remarkable feat. They have a large number of third party fans cheering for a sports team from Boston. That's an achievement, to take someone relatively decent, and praise them to such an obnoxious degree to elicit that level of disgust.

Reggie Bush is the safest option, guaranteed to you something. if you told me Wells/Helu had a monster game come Monday I'd believe, but could both fall apart/put up nothing

I say it every week, Tebow is magic.

y2jake215

currently 7-1 with Tebow online in Madden 12, with my last 4 or 5 victories coming in the last 2 minutes, last game with 10 seconds left on a rushing TD from 10 yards out vs. the Jets. Video Tebow is reenacting his miracles one by one. Even the record. He's even completing roughly 50% of his passes

Eerie, EA. Eerie

Elki

Football Outsiders, on Tebow's rushing ranking (the worst of any QB on their list).

Not even the most ardent Tebow supporter would be surprised to see the Denver quarterback rank so low in passing statistics, but how do you rush 12 times for 49 yards and get -22 rushing DYAR, especially when you don't fumble even once? A lot of Tebow's runs come on third down, and he often comes up short. He had two first downs in seven third-down runs against Chicago, and though he converted a third-and-16, he also had a 0- and 6-yard gains on third-and-10, a 5-yard gain on third-and-6, a 3-yard gain on third-and-5, and a 1-yard gain on third-and-4.

I love this quote. Dwight Freeney on their upcoming game against the Titans.

“You never want to be in that situation where that's all you have to play for is to spoil somebody else's chances,” Freeney said. “What we're trying to do is win. And doing that would spoil somebody else. But we're not going out there saying, ‘Let's spoil their chances.' ”

I wonder how many were designed and how many were scrambles after the play broke down

Ugh. This is why everyone hates Tebow - people like Skip Bayless. Bayless, Reilly, just on-air personalities and journalists with nothing actually interesting or compelling to say so they just latch on mercilessly to the next big thing instead of treating it like it is. Bayless listens to a legitimate criticism of Tebow then cheers it like a compliment, before telling the still obnoxious Stephen A. to just shut up when he points this out

Somewhat plausible scandal!!

Now on NFL.com's website:

Elki

Oh no!

y2jake215

Ugh, I know. Why can you even VOTE for Josh Freeman

dlinfiniti

people feel bad for him and want to send him on a free hawaiian vacation

oldmanken

I am so tempted to vote Tebow... or maybe Painter, since he has helped the Colts get first pick.

I automatically change the channel when I hear Skip Bayless' voice.

On a side note, I've decided to start Helu, Michael Bush, AJ Green, and Welker. Who do you guys think I should choose between CJ2K and Fitzgerald?

zepherin

I think that Peyton has been working with Eli during his injury because Eli's game has really kicked it up this season and he's been playing a more command style of QB than before.

I'm going with designed. He's trying to build up an iconic image.

Well, at least Roddy White decided to finally have a monster game when it mattered - the first week of Fantasy Playoffs. I knew if I held out and kept him starting it would pay off at some point. Well that or losing both Forte and Fred Jackson forces me to start all but one of my receivers.

c's defense is pretty good. play wells

You mean, don't play Wells, right?

Being that I am currently in Arizona, I'll probably play Wells, anyway.

I'd go Reggie Bush (can't believe I'd ever say that). Buffalo is awful. Terrible. I think Helu does okay, but with Shanahan it's riskier, though he's done well every time he's gotten the start. Who do you have at RB1 and 2?

So Romo and the Cowboys finally had a good game. Can't say much about their opponent...but eh.

I know. THIS was what we were supposed to raise a giant stink to the cable companies over? I saw we got it on our cable package, I was intrigued, and about a day or two later I was just done.

One-sport networks live and die on the ability to show games live, any game, anywhere in the league, whenever they feel like. The NFL is not structured to be able to do this. At all. RedZone is the closest they can come and that's a chaotic mess for the Sunday afternoon games only. NFL Network itself basically goes dark for the early games. And then they show reruns of all those games they didn't show over the course of the rest of the week, after people have gotten done watching them live.

And the NFL isn't nearly as anecdote-laden as the other sports, which is death when the offseason hits. That's the price they pay for depersonalizing the players. 'Hey, remember that time when.... um... er.... let's check the fantasy report again, on second thought.'

More like 95% of a good game because romo still gave up the ball for a td and the defense gave up a td and a two pointer to give the bucs a chance
