All-purpose, running Tim Tebow sucks/is a deity thread!

Vonn Miller?? What are you suggesting here?

 

Darth Belichick is highly complimentary.

Lindsey Vonn Talks of Friendship With Tim Tebow Lindsey Vonn, one of the best skiers in the world, sits in a hotel in Courchevel, France, with her phone blowing up after reading all these Internet reports about her dating Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow.

"We're not dating," Vonn said to everyone who would listen. "At times like these you just have to laugh."



Here's how the media has "twisted all of this," Vonn said:



Vonn and Tebow met at the ESPYs this past summer in Los Angeles. They hang out at various charity golf tournaments. Both families hang out at ski events. In early December, Vonn won the super-G event in Beaver Creek, Colo., and "Tebowed" to honor her friend. And, this past weekend, Vonn sat in the Tebow family box during Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears.



Oh, and Vonn, in November, announced that she is starting divorce proceedings from Thomas Vonn, her husband of four years.

The only thing that can ruin the Tebow story is political opportunism. Rick Perry, at the GOP debate last night: "Let me tell you, I hope I am the Tim Tebow of the Iowa caucuses."

Invalid analogy, though, because Perry has already thrown a couple of pick-sixes.

 

Joe Flacco has had enough Tebow talk.

3 or 4 weeks ago, I think YankeeFan nailed it with comparing this season to Mark Fidrych in 1976.

2 SI covers. Networks fighting to televise. According to Rovell, his jersey is sold out at NFL.com, unprecedented. Again, according to Rovell, Tebow has the 1 and 2 selling NFL fatheads.

 

For my money the NFL will never have a bigger fathead than Roethlisberger.

 

I almost threw up when I saw the front page of SI.com today.

 

One thing the NFL benefits by is players staying 3- 4 years in college unlike the NBA.

By the time players like Tebow get to NFL they are already household names and instant stars.

That used to happen in The NBA.

 

The Deitsch column? It looks dead-on to me -- Tebow has undeniably crossed from sports into culture.

 

I won't even read it. I am sick of the Tebow overload.

 

It is an interesting read. Tebow now rates alongside such celebrities as Jennifer Aniston, Lady Gaga, Tom Hanks, Will Smith and Taylor Swift when it comes to aspiration (the degree to which consumers feel a celebrity has a life to which they would aspire) and influence (the degree to which consumers believe a celebrity is an influence in today's world).

While we on this board have been going at it for almost two months about Tebow -- actually probably a month or so, really the KC game where they went read-option all the way was the flashpoint -- to the more casual sports fan the interest is still building exponentially.
