Today we are going to go with something
light with some serious undertones. I am going to express my great
level of joy after the game yesterday. Not because the Broncos lost,
or the fact the Pat's won. Oh and they won, Brady looked like the
picture perfect example of what an Quarterback in the NFL should look
like. I was actually happy because Tebow was getting slammed down,
beat up, and completed only 9 passes the whole damn game. Now let me
tell you why this means so much too me; Tim Tebow is a fundamentalist
that feels as a sport star he has the right to influence our society,
but he is not really skilled enough to justify the attention he
demands.
You see as a Quarterback Timmy really
and truly sucks. His mechanics are horrible, he looks like a starfish
aborting a fetus while suffering from explosive diarrhea when he
throws the ball. The wobbly turds he threw in the air suffered from a
special kind of seizure that effect flying pigskins. Even the few
passes he completed looked ugly. Last week when people touted his
praise, you watch the tapes and you will see the same things there.
The difference is the Pat's were not going to let that high school
shit go in the big leagues boys. Orton might not have been a showy or
flashy quarterback, but he could do what a quarterback is required to
do,... throw the damn ball.
People go on and on about how inspiring
Timmy is. They talk about how he rallies the team and drives them
forward with emotional resolve. They talk about how he pushes them,
and how great a leader he is. I say bullshit. Leaders motivate sure,
but its the dangerous leaders the appeal to emotions rather than
leading by example, just look throughout history. Just because you
take a knee and pay your respects each game to your God, who probably
does not give a shit about a child's game being played on television
meant for entertainment when there are so many other things that
could or should require divine attention.
Now I do admire the kid for his ability
to stand by his views. He is a rarity of people that actually live by
their principles, and seems to really and truly believe. I may not
agree will all the stuff that comes out of his mouth, but at least he
is not out clubbing with crack ho's, shooting himself in the leg, or
getting caught in a drive by. I have not seen him out doing lines of
coke off a strippers ass, and yes he is a much better example to
follow then so many other athletes we see in the news. That however
does not mean he knows how to play football. Seriously people, what
is the deal with this tool? He can't play football.
Now my biggest issue with this, would
be the social pressure that not only got one guy fired, and put a
third string no talent ass clown into the number one spot for a
professional team. I am not a Bronco's fan, but I hear more about
Tebag then I do about my own team. I see the pictures of so many
"Tebowing" that to me just seem to offer a mockery of his
zealotry. Imagine how you would feel if some NFL superstar that
actually had some skills, threw down a prayer rug after every game?
Spirituality is not the issue, or even his cookie cutter faith that
expresses his ability to be a follower rather then a leader, it is
his lack of ability that people seem to ignore because he does cute
things after the game, and shares ideals that they feel they should
have but do not have the conviction in their own faith to live that
way.
You know why a lot of people do not
have that level of faith that Timmy has though, its not an inability
to be a believer in their religious philosophy, its intelligence
forbids you. It seems people can only have this level of faith if
they can lobotomize themselves enough to stomach intelligent design,
or the other psuedoscience craptastic dark ages garbage the mega
churches like to shovel out. Seriously I am not anti religion but I
am anti mind fuck super sized corporate faith dispensary systems that
Tim Tebow seems to be the spokes person for. This is why I am happy
he got his ass pounded on Saturday, and I am so glad it came from the
hands of a team wearing the red white and blue. Ironic and iconic,
that the icon of the mass churches gets beat by the symbol of
patriotism. That patriotism that is represented by the separation of
church and state, personal liberty, freedom, and all those great
things that make him so wrong and our country so right.
I am a broncos fan, but I love you for this post. God I want Cutler back. So bad. And that should say enough.
