Mostly, I think it's the constant media adulation. Just as a sample, there's the GQ article, the GQ pictures, and of course the Thom Brennaman blowjob. The apologists for Jean Shorts Jesus will say that we shouldn't hold the media attention against him. They will tell you that he doesn't ask for all the attention. Really? So those GQ pictures were what? How many GameDay interviews has he done? Is that a guy that doesn't want attention?
Sure he's a great player. He's the only sophomore to win the Heisman Trophy. He deserved it then, but now the media powers that be think the Chosen One is deserving of a second Heisman Trophy. If the Heisman has become a career achievement award, then it has to go to either Tebow or Colt McCoy (you know, the QB with the most wins in NCAA history). If, on the other hand, the Heisman goes to the year's best player, Tebow isn't even close. He's 60th in passing. He's 73rd in rushing. He's 34th in total offense. He's got 17 passing touchdowns and 13 rushing touchdowns. That's 4 more total TDs than Toby Gerhart, and Gerhart doesn't touch the ball every play.
I have to pull for Alabama to win the SEC Championship game if for no other reason than I can't take another month of Tebow-love leading up to the BCS Championship game. Please Alabama, for the sake of our sanity, beat Florida. Your nation is counting on you.
