Today the most overrated player and the second most overrated player in the NFL will take on Lauren Tannehill’s husband’s team in American non-metric futbol.
Also. Too.
…Tebow has become irrelevant with the New York Jets, despite all that talk this summer about how Rex Ryan and Tony Sparano might use him. In the past two games, Tebow has played on 11 offensive snaps. Clearly, the Jets can’t figure out what to do with him. And that figures to continue, as starting quarterback Mark Sanchezis playing well.
Tuesday is the NFL’s trading deadline, and there’s been speculation the Jets have been shopping around Tebow. Of course, with all the hype about him coming to New York in the first place, and Jets owner Woody Johnson fawning over him, it’s a reach to think the club would readily ship him elsewhere.
Jacksonville would be the most logical trade destination, considering Tebow grew up there, has a huge fan base in the region, and could help a franchise that lacks a standout quarterback.
Chances are, though, the Jets are going to sit tight, keep Tebow, and see where they stand at the end of the season. Meanwhile, he’s slipping further under the radar, looking more like a gimmick by the week.
You may argue in the comments about whatevs but try to not let it turn into Lord of the Flies like it seems to be doing with greater frequency as November 6th rears its head.
I will be at work so behave yourselves but I do want to point out that third parties string quarterbacks suck.

But can we go all Cujo on smilingdog?
Typo alert: I believe you meant Or, not Our in your title.
Football
and the Democratic Partyare over rated by a lot of people.So, jeebuz’s own quarterback’s 15 minutes-o’-fame is in sudden-death overtime? Well, the quota for ex-NFLers as car dealers and politicians has been filled. How about ‘mega-church pastor in FL’? Nice easy transition, instant credibility and a flock o’ chumps ready for fleecing.
I think he might have telegraphed his moves (kinda like his gridiron performances, or so I’m told), what with the ‘Tebowing’ trademarking and all.
It would irresponsible not to speculate.
Steeler’s throwback unis look like they’re the Beagle Boys. They’re after Scrooge McDuck’s gold!
Tony the Tiger says ‘they’re greeeeat’!
With so many of the younger Ste
ealers fan base never having actually seen a Steel Mill I think you may be on to something.After 16 minutes of football, Miami’s up 17-0. Juicebox Jesus was put in for a play at wide receiver in the first quarter. He was completely ignored by both the Dolphins’ secondary and Sanchez.
It is the very end.
Tebow is such a perfect example of the whole “Fundy Affirmative Action” I hope he continues on traveling from team to team, never actually accomplishing anything.
A tiny, perfect example of the, “Gosh darnit, he prays real purty” and that’s good enough for me!” attitude that is the foundation of the modern Republican party.
I it seems the stripes are distracting the skin’s receivers. This would a close game if they could catch.
I’m pretty sure this is simply a test of Tebow’s faith.
Or stated in a more ecclesiastical manner: Jeebuz is just fuckin’ with him…”
This is becoming the Sports Weekend From Hell. Yesterday Michigan and the Tigers both lost, and the Lions are bumbling their way around Ford Field. Matthew Stafford has regressed this season.
It just not as much fun when JuiceBox isn’t playing in a wildly pro-jebuz local. Those fundy fuckers in Colorado Springs were the perfect Tebow fan base and then John Elway killed the joy.
I’m just wondering if Romney were elected if he’d name Rafalca as the head of FEMA to complete the circle.

Blink! Who are these guys?
Dunno if anybody saw the game, I sure didn’t, but Tim Tebow’s missed block leads to a blocked punt and Dolphins touchdown.
The very end.
Gotta give the NFL credit for producing Timmy’s Greatest Plays of the Day.
They’re trying to keep JuiceBox relevant just to spite the Jets.
Here in our little corner of Ryandia, we have a news reader who hails from Florida and loves her Tebow. So funny to watch her face as the sports and weather guys wax on about Aaron Rodgers. BTW Rodgers and Braun did a fund raiser fir the latest NRA/Scalia perversion of the 2nd amendment in Brookfield, WI, where they own a restaurant. Good guys, without the Jebus-kneeling (but maybe ‘roids?)
Tebow. Deus vult.
No kidding. I was actually astonished recently to hear Tony Dungy, who started out acting as Tebow’s human shield on ESPN, dare to admit that a fellow Christian like tebow might not be all he was cracked up to be as a QB.
Yeah. Me too. I just sitting here, swatting flies, and now you’ve really got me wondering.
Not one word on the news stories concerning the attempt to trademark Tebowing? TBogg, you let me down.
