You may have heard about Florida linebacker Brandon Spikes trying to gouge out the eyes of Georgia Running back Washaun Ealey. Like me, when you heard of it, you figured the player in question would be suspended for a couple of games, issue an apology and by-gones would be by-gones. Football, after all, is a violent sport. Were that all that was involved in this story then I wouldn't even be blogging about it. To be honest, I could care less about the internal disciplinary goings-on over in Gainesville.
That is, until the Great one spoke up and practically took a dump on his Christian faith in the name of they started it?
[Ft. Myers News-Press]
Florida quarterback Tim Tebow said on Monday that Georgia players were doing some of the same stuff that got Gators linebacker Brandon Spikes suspended for a half in last Saturday's 41-7 win against the Bulldogs.
Got that? Mr. Christian's fed up with all of that "turn the other cheek" crap that Jesus talked about. Nope, according to the Gospel of Tebow (the chosen one) retaliation is fine....IF you're a Gator starting linebacker that is.
I don't have any problem with Tebow the player. He's turning out to be one of the best College quarterbacks ever, the numbers don't lie. What I am tired of is all of the blather about Tebow the leader, about the promise, about the Gospel of Tebow and about what a fine young Christian man he is. You see, that's all a bunch of PR generated crap.
Jesus wouldn't lie to win a game, and if I remember my Bible right he had his disciples healing those that couldn't see, not gouging out peoples eyes.
Just play the game Tebow, and then shut up about it. Don't act as if, because you've been out on missions, that you're somehow morally superior to the rest of us. You're a quarterback....go throw a touchdown already.
