Speaking of, don't get me going about how the media has treated Tim Tebow, who was cut from the New England Patriots this weekend. Tebow: "the most controversial figure in the history of the NFL" according to at least one broadcaster this weekend... Controversial for WHAT? NOT taking steroids, or HGH, or violating the league's drug policy, or being arrested and convicted of any number of crimes, like so many of the other run of the mill players nowadays who are considered to be "non-controversial...?" Don't get me wrong, Tebow's uber-Evangelical faith is certainly not the story line that the media is looking for when covering the NFL, but hey, what's "controversial" about anything he has said or done? I find it strange and a sad critique of our society that Tim Tebow is found to be "controversial," or even "the most controversial player ever in the NFL." So you're telling me OJ Simpson gets beat out on that one by Tim Tebow? The New England Patriots were NOT a favorite team of mine well before Tim Tebow played for them. Nor were the New York Jets. Denver doesn't get a pass either. Did I mention Tebow has as many playoff victories as Tony Romo, who has been largely canonized for years now by the football media...? But I digress...
While I'm not a White Sox fan, I'm now a fan of their catcher and what he has to say HERE. He'd better be careful, though, of the "most controversial player in MLB" tag that some will surely be throwing at him as a result... Harrumph!
