tim-tebowTim Tebow and his mother Pam are going to be in a Super Bowl ad. (Not this one) You may have heard about this. Apparently, its going to focus on his Pam’s pregnancy during which she fell ill in the Philippines. “According to reports, doctors recommended that she abort the pregnancy, but she chose to go through with the birth of her son Tim.”

Crazy story, right? Well according to attorney Gloria Allred abortions have been illegal in the Philippines since 1930 and carries a 6-year prison sentence. Now, that doesn’t seem like something a doctor would suggest under those circumstances, does it? If this commercial runs, Allred is going to lodge a complaint with the FCC. I’m not sure what that would do, but that’s for far more intelligent people than me to decide. On to the next one…

SI.com’s Stewart Mandel stepped in for Big Brain on Brett today to write a proposterous notions column. This one is entitled “Need proof Tebow can play QB in the NFL? Look at Drew Brees.” Now, as is my perogative, I didn’t read the entire article, but here’s the gist – Drew Brees also came out of a college system where he was always working from the shotgun, just like Tebow. Therefore, Tebow will one day become one of the best quarterbacks in the league.

Sure. The only problem is that I don’t think the main concern is Tebow taking snaps. Aren’t most of the concerns about his arm strength and accuracy? I’m pretty sure an NFL coaching staff could teach me to take snaps from under center with enough reps. Can Tebow do this?

OK, now get to your player hating, you bunch of jackals.
