The Tim Tebow Saga...The Legend Continues

So news broke yesterday that there is an apparent bidding war going on between ESPN, CBS, and Fox to hire Tim Tebow as a college football analyst for 2014. That's right. Just when you thought Tebow had fallen off the face of the Earth -- and not been debated on ESPN First Take every single day-- he's about to be back in the spotlight. I hope he gives speeches like this on the tube: 

Here’s the deal is with Tim becoming the face of television. ESPN SEC is a new channel that’s going to be airing next year at some point and will feature its own College Gameday. It is hosted by Rece Davis and Paul Finebaum being cast as the “Lee Corso” of the show (Except Finebaum is annoying, nerdy, and would get wrecked in a steel cage match against John Clayton). ESPN wants Tebow to hop on the set as the “Kirk Herbstreit” of the show. CBS on the other hand is basically the home of the SEC game of the week every Saturday. Everything is going swell for CBS, and they’ve said they would “blow up their pregame show” to get a spot for Tebow. Fox has said they would consider Tebow for both NCAA and NFL shows. I can only imagine all the former NFL greats loving Tebow giving insight of the NFL.

In case you were wondering, Tim Tebow graduated from the University of Florida with a Bachelor’s degree in Family, Youth and Community Sciences. Like, are you shitting me with that degree Tim? Are the finals for those classes like being a camp counselor for two days? What is a family and youth science? Thank God he thanks God so much because without him he might be unemployed and homeless with that degree.

Switching Gears.

How is Tim Tebow not in the NFL?

I get it, the guy can’t really throw the football too well which is a huge issue at quarterback. But do you know how many bad backup quarterbacks there are in the league??? If Kellen Clemens and Scott Tolzien were running teams in the NFL for a couple weeks, Tim Tebow could. I’m not saying Tebow should be starting for any of the 32 teams. But the fact he’s not even on a roster blows my mind. I mean the guy put Denver on his back and got a playoff win under his belt. Granted it was ugly most of the time, but you can’t deny he won games for Denver. Look at the Cleveland Browns. Hoyer is legless, Weeden is hurt, Campbell is hurt, and I honestly have no idea who is playing quarterback for them this week. I’m not even going to bother looking it up. Signing Tebow would’ve made sense and put some asses in the seats. Have you seen how AWFUL Brandon Weeden is?

Why wouldn’t he change positions?

I guess I would probably rather play Tight End in the NFL rather than be a college football analyst. Yeah, being a college football analyst would be sick and basically you can be wrong about every prediction and nobody gives a shit. It’s an amazing job and he’s going to make millions doing it. I just feel like if this dude loves football that much, why not just give it a go at Tight End for a year or two. It’s that or retire at the age of 26. He has time to be an analyst in a couple years, why not give a position change a shot?

What should he do?

I guess if he’s not going to get signed, switch positions, or play USA Rugby, he should take the millions he’s going to get from one of these networks. I would honestly consider CBS the most. From the sounds of it, ESPN is kind of worried about the SEC network they’re going to have and they’re hoping Tebow can build the hype for it. Quite frankly I see why ESPN is worried. I get enough SEC coverage to the point where I don’t like any teams in there -- besides A&M now solely because Johnny Football. The last thing I want on my TV is more Saban, South Carolina spring football games, and reasons why “This is the year for Georgia”. I’m so sick of the SEC. PAC-12 football is where it’s at. Go Arizona State.

I think CBS would be a sweet move for him just because it’s going to be the SEC foundation for a long time and will give Tebow national exposure. One thing is for certain. Tebow was one of the greatest/most unique quarterbacks in college football history. He’s in the Heisman frat and nobody can ever take that from him. He’s got a pair of National Championships and is a Florida Hall of Famer. Despite his failure to make it in the NFL, the dude will be set for the rest of his life and make an interesting analyst. I would tune in. Despite his degree in Family, Youth, and Community Sciences.
