Former NFL quarterback Tim Tebow went head to head against Nine Dobrev on Spike TV’s Lip Sync Battle last night.
Tebow attempted a knockout with Survivor’s 1982 hit, “Eye of the Tiger,” but I think he may have come up a little short.
Let’s just say he’s no Channing Tatum 🙂
Former NFL quarterback gets a second (third?) chance at the big time with the announcement that he has signed a one year contract with the Philadelphia Eagles.
The sports world is pretty much shaking it’s head over this one. Tebow’s career completion rate is 47.9%.
And yet, out footballer Michael Sam is told over and over again HE’S not playing in the NFL because he’s simply not good enough?
In the 2014 NFL preseason Sam was top-five in the NFL in sacks and was second on the St. Louis Rams team in tackles.
I’m not the only one scratching my head.
So Tim Tebow will get another shot at the NFL but Michael Sam can barely get a whiff because he will be too much of a distraction….WTF NFL

Love the pundits who said signing Michael Sam would be a distraction, but signing Tim Tebow is a great football move.

I think, in the 25+years I’ve been writing on the NFL, never seen more excuses made for a player than Tim Tebow.

My only tweet on this: In last 10 years.. @TimTebow is only NFL QB w/ at least 250 attempts.. and a completion % under 50.

Former New England Patriots back-up QB Tim Tebow lands a gig with ESPN.
Via press release from ESPN:
Former Florida quarterback and Heisman winner, Tim Tebow, has been hired as a college football analyst for the SEC Network launching in August 2014.
Through a multi-year agreement, Tebow’s primary role will be as an analyst for SEC Nation, the network’s traveling pregame show that will originate from a different SEC campus each week beginning August 28, 2014.
In the months leading up to launch and after, he will contribute to a variety of ESPN platforms including SportsCenter, ESPN Radio, and the network’s Heisman Trophy coverage, offering in-depth perspective as a legendary Southeastern Conference player.

The 26-year-old is currently without an NFL team after being released by the New England Patriots after 18 months.
The NY Times is reporting that the New York Jets have released Tim Tebow:
On Monday morning, the Jets cut Tebow with no pomp, a victim of circumstance. They acknowledged an experiment gone awry with a news release that said, simply, “Jets waive QB Tim Tebow.” There was no mention in that release of Tebow’s statistics with the Jets, perhaps in part because there were none worth mentioning.
He was more afterthought than asset, more distraction than revelation, a decoy who played a greater role on special teams than behind center.
No word on where Tebow could end up in the NFL.
Tim Tebow has cancelled his much ballyhooed April appearance at the First Baptist Church of Dallas.
Tebow tweeted:
From JoeMyGod: “Stand by for the howls of outrage as this is clearly the result of homofascism. Either that or Tebow is now aware that First Baptist Pastor Robert Jeffress has said that all Jews and Mormons will go to hell and that Satan runs the Catholic Church.”
