The media for the most part is just waiting for him to fail so so they can tell all the fans "I told you so." They are waiting for the time when everything falls apart and he can't hack it in the NFL. They are waiting to be able to critique his throwing motion and his throwing accuracy and blaming that for the losses. They are waiting on the predictions that they put on him before he even played an NFL game that he would have to switch positions to make it in the NFL to come true along with the other opinions the experts have. The only problem is that Tebow has yet to fail at any level on the field and in life for that matter. I wonder how long these experts are going to have to wait? Wouldn't it be something if this team could find a way to make it to the Super Bowl this season? I am not saying it is going to happen by any means but one thing I will say is that after watching his first 6 starts I am not betting against him anymore.

Tebow Time
It's Tebow Time baby!! Jump on the bandwagon folks there is very little room left. The kid is 5-1 as a starter this season on a team that started 1-4 with Kyle Orton. I mean all the kid does is win. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNC8xRo9vXY I know it hasn't been pretty but "at the end of the day." (that reference was for you Nick Kerr) all that matters in the NFL is winning. He has a better winning percentage than any other starting quarterback in the league who has started 5+ games other than Aaron Rodgers. His passing numbers are not all that great but he finds ways to get the job done. One reason why he has been successful is because he has thrown just one interception in 6 starts. He has realized that not forcing a throw that may be intercepted and punting the football which allows the defense to do its job is not a bad idea sometimes. My next point is the fact that Denvers defense has been playing phenominal since Tebow has started. I am guessing it is because ole Timothy Richard had a talk with his father (insert God jokes here) and asked for a little bit of help. Perhaps it is all the people who have been Tebowing across the country to show their praise. If you don't know what Tebowing is well take a look. http://www.tebowing.com/

"Aisle 4 Row 8 Seat 113"
Aisle 4 row 8 seat 113. The seat that "changed" Cubs history. That was where Steve Bartman sat on the eve of October 14th, 2003 for game 6 of the 2003 NLCS. He walked into Wrigley Field that evening as an unknown die hard Cubs fan. He left as the most hated person in the city of Chicago. He did what almost any other sports fan would of done. He tried catching a foul ball. If you have ever been to the ballpark and had a ball hit near you that's what you do, you try to catch it. I got three in one game in Minute Maid Park in Houston one time. I gave them all to the little kids sitting around me though. Bartman wasn't the only man who reached for that foul ball. Nor was he playing shortstop on that easy ground ball that AlexGonzalez bobbled. Nor was he one of the Cubs pitchers who squandered a three run lead when they only needed five outs to get to the world series. He was just a fan doing what fans do.
After watching the documentary ESPN did on him tonight and seeing the way Cubs fans treated him initially and how some still do to this day it made me wonder. Why do Cubs fans or any fans for that matter go to this extreme at times. Fans were throwing beer at him, chanting obscene names at him, and yelling death threats at him. I heard one fan on the documentary say, " Put a 12 gauge in his mouth and pull the trigger." Really? Is that not a little too far? I understand the frustrations that Cubs fans have built up over the years if losing, and quite honestly I think they are some of the more passionate fans in the country. I don't know how they do it year after year. I then tried to think of personal experiences that I have had with teams that I am a fan of that experienced heart breaking losses in my life time. I remember sitting in the Georgia Dome by myself in Atlanta during the 2009 SEC championship game in the Alabama section when they crushed Florida 32-13. I sat in silence most of the 3rd and 4th quarters trying to figure out how they could lose during Tim Tebow's senior year when they weren't suppose to lose. I remember making the hour drive back to my place with the stereo off ,cell phone off, and in complete silence just reliving certain plays that went wrong. I had simialr feelings when the Colts lost to the Steelers on a Mike Vanderjagt missed field goal and when the Pacers lost game 7 of the 1998 Eastern Conference Finals against the Chicago Bulls. I don't think any of them match the way Cubs fans felt after that game with the Bartman incident.
This was a man that was hated. Sports has this way of getting inside people. We live for the chance to watch our team win, and when they don't we need to put the blame on someone or something. Sports gives people the chance to forget about whatever is going on in there lives for a few hours. They feel a sense of belonging with the other fans and even the team. I remember exactly where I was when great sports moments happened for the teams I cheer for. I even remember being in my college dorm during this game that everyone now calls "The Bartman Game"
Had you ever wondered what if the Cubs won game 7 and went on to the world series? How would that change the way Bartman is thought of in Chicago? People would forget about it because as long as the Cubs won that is all that mattered. It is 8 years later but there is still this mystique around that event. What is he doing now? How come he hasn't done any interviews? Will we ever hear or see from him about the incident? I can't speak for Cubs fans but I think it is time for them to let go of this and forgive the guy for just doing what any other baseball fan would of done.

"What Really Happened?"
There is nothing like starting out the month of May by smoking some terrorists! It looks like Bin Laden lost his title as hide and seek champion, now if we could find Waldo and Carmen San Diego we would be good to go. I was sitting on the couch (thank god, I'm just glad I wasn't in a cab that would of been uncomfortable) watching the TV last night and wondering what was taking Obama so long to get to the podium when he was suppose to come on at 10:30 and didn't make it on till 11:30. This got me wondering of the events that were unfolding and went on after Obama went off the air. This is what I think has gone down since this became news to the public.
Bin Laden has since arrived in hell where he encountered his first problem Doc Holliday. Everyone should remember him from the movie Tombstone. Bin Laden can't quite figure out why doc keeps saying things like, "Say when." and "I'll be your huckleberry." His next problem was Tony Montana who kept screaming "Say hello to the bad guy!" So it sounds like he has his hands full in hell.
In closing it is a great day to be an American. If this doesn't make you proud to live in the USA well then you my friend are not an American. I read a story about this guy on a plane last night and this lady broke down in tears when the news broke and he found out her husband was killed on 9/11. The whole cabin gave her a hug to console her. It took our country almost 10 years to find him but they did. I would like to thank everyone that was or is a current military member. We are truly blessed to live in this country and have them fight for our freedom.
First off Bin Laden had to be worried when Obama took office. I mean a brother never forgets about someone that owes them money or has a beef with. Once Bin Laden was killed Obama called George W. Bush and invited him over to the White House for the celebration party. Kenny Powers was also invited and entered very similar to this entrance he once made. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8zO_DV09QE The reason why Obama was late to the podium was because they were too busy partying in the oval office. This isn't your regular party folks. You got to pull out the good shit for this. This event called for that Purple Kush, couple bottles of Courvoisier, and possibly a couple of strippers. Obama had DJ Khaled "All I do Is Win" on repeat while they were passing around the kush. Obama finally gave his speech and I don't know about you but I saw a little swagger in his step. The whole time he was worried about George W. finishing off the liquor and kush without him. Afterwards Obama came back and found Biden dead on the couch from a heart attack he had after a stripper gave him a very aggressive lap dance to the song "Born In The USA" by Bruce Springstein. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIekamBDiAw Not much to do about all that so Obama sat down and had his tattoo artist begin on the tear drop tattoo that will be under his left eye. The party continued into the wee hours of the morning. Michelle wasn't too happy.
