It's the media's lovefest with Tebow. It's so overboard. The guy can't even complete 50% of his passes and get's more pub than Eli Manning. I know he's a good guy and all but I've had enough.

Re: Around the NFL...Training Camp Style

Tim Tebow (even Mark Sanchez) draws more interest than most because he's so polarizing. People tune in because they love him, or they tune in because they hate him. But they tune in. They don't do the same for say Christian Ponder.

He's so polarizing because the media makes him so. He's only polarizing to people who choose to be offended.

He's not out preaching or forcing his views on anyone. He speaks at events and conferences but you have to CHOOSE to go to them. He's no different than millions of Americans who have the same beliefs, except for his day job. A group that large isn't "polarizing", it's common. I think the word "polarizing" has just been twisted to apply to anyone you don't agree with. That seemed to start with our previous President.

He's in our faces not by his own doing, but because of the media...mainly ESPN. A lot of it has to do with a bias against, you could probably even say hatred for any one who has success and is a Christian.

Same with Jeremy Lin. Same with Chik-Fil-A. We're allowed to have our own views, but if it's against what certain people want our society to be, you get unwanted attention and unwarranted hatred.

It's a shame, because he's an excellent role model for youth, but because he's a Christian, he has become a target of constant mockery and unfair hatred. I don't care if he goes to church or not, he's a good guy period and we need more athletes like him rather than the rapists, drunks and killers we have to put up with usually.

And if I have to hear the word "Tebowing" one more time...ugh. It's another way the media mocks him and his beliefs non-stop.

Per A. Shefter Giants CB Terrell Thomas reinjured surgical repaired knee, severity unknown. Doesn't look good.

Everyone knows that there will be a quarterback controversy in New York this season. I talk to a lot of Jets fans on the streets up here in NYC on occasion and they really favor Mark Sanchez over Tim Tebow.
