Tim Tebow Tries Some Baseball
Is there any athlete in the world who gets more attention for effectively doing nothing than Tim Tebow? Not even Manziel has reached close to his level of nonsense coverage. Why can’t he just go away? Also what on earth makes him want to try baseball now? Tebow should honestly just accept the fact that he peaked at sports. He’s never going to be the man like he was at Florida, and he’s never going to accomplish anything greater than beating the Steelers in the wildcard. He’s dedicated his life to football and while you can argue all day about whether he was given a completely fair chance, he is far enough past that moment to make it clear his football time is over. He got a chance almost no NFL flameout gets, a tryout and a contract 2 years after he left football, and he couldn’t make the Eagles. Tebow is done with football unless he goes CFL/AFL or whatever, which he seems to have no interest in despite that I could see him actually doing okay there.
So instead he’s trying to get into a different sport, one he hasn’t played since high school. Even if some of his athleticism and work ethic translate over, are we really expecting the big leagues from Tebow? Only Bo Jackson was the kind of freak that could do both, Tebow is not Bo Jackson. It sounds like they are setting him up at catcher, which means everyone would steal bases on him since his wind up would take 3 days.
But whatever, Tim Tebow can do what he wants. I’m sure many other football flameouts have considered and tried the very same thing, but they didn’t get the attention, because they weren’t named Tim Tebow. I hope he goes into the minor leagues and is okay. Not good enough to reach the majors, but not bad enough to fail out. Just long enough to disappear from the public eye so that one day, we will no longer get ESPN alerts whenever he takes a dump.
Also pretend I copy/pasted those missing panels like 50 times instead of cutting it short to keep the file a reasonable size
To be fair, judging from the events in your own comic, Tebow went 1/3 with 2 K’s and a HR.
Most players would take that line in a heartbeat.
Sounds like your typical party at Napoli’s.
What if it turns out that Tim Tebow is a superstar at literally every sport that’s not football? He’ll be the first person to be inducted into the Baseball, Basketball, Hockey, Soccer, Lacrosse, Curling, Rugby, Cricket, Handball, Netball, Tennis, Golf, Ping Pong, and NASCAR Halls of Fame.
And since he’s not playing football, barely anyone will even notice.
Ben is smarter than that
No he isn’t
Tebow could’ve stayed in the NFL if he had just given in and taken a position change. He wasn’t going to be a QB, and even if a team was desperate enough to take him, he wouldn’t be the long term guy.
Guess we can look forward to extended ESPN 2 coverage of half of Tebow’s Single A Minor League games.
See, I don’t agree with this. To me, the only positions Tim was built for were TE and FB. His stint with the Jets showed that, in the limited snaps he had as a receiver, he couldn’t catch very well. He could block, but nothing too special. So that leaves fullback, and I don’t blame Tim for refusing to switch to a position that probably has the lowest average salary and highest risk of serious head trauma of any position in any major league sport. I’d rather be a TV analyst and maybe a minor league baseball player than a fullback, too.
He could always work on pass catching and blocking. For a guy so determined to play in the NFL, you’d think he’d be willing to put in all the work needed and do whatever it takes to get a chance. It’s not like he deserved a huge salary.
I can understand not wanting to play fullback, but the fact that he’d turn his nose up to any opportunity to stay in the NFL is just stupid.
Breaking News: Tim Tebow deficates in toilet. There was a courtesy flush according to Adam Shefter, and he did wash his hands with soap. Updates to come on size and color.
Tim Tebow would suck in the Arena League (inaccurate as hell, only can scramble, no real potential), kinda like the Tampa Bay Storm (2-15) and the Portland Steel (3-14), both of whom lost to good teams (Tampa 43-62 vs. Philly; Portland 40-84 to Arizona). The best comparison for Tebow-to-Arena would be Geno Smith the linebacker (Arvill Nelson), who led the Cleveland Gladiators to a 56-52 victory over the L.A./S.D. KISS (7-10) as Donavan Morgan ends his career (correction on last week when I said that Morgan was second beat wr, that belongs to Arizona WR Rod Windsor).
I can’t do the Orlando-J’ville game justice, so just go to http://www.arenafan.com/news/?page=origcol&writer=113&article=4058
Tebow would suck in the CFL for the same reasons.
Yeo
Yep
To sum up the Storm’s season go to http://www.arenafan.com/news/?page=origcol&writer=158&article=4059
1 more thing to add, Storm coach Lawrence Samuels has been fired
A lot of Tebow fans would not even consider him switching to TE in the NFL because it was “too much of a change for him to make. You can’t just switch positions easily like that.” Well, now he’s switched entire sports, so if they’re rallying behind him now saying “he’ll do great!” and all that stuff it’s a bit inconsistent…
…just like Tebow’s passes.
Besides, there’s a history of college quarterbacks becoming receivers in the NFL. Guys like Randle El, Cribbs, possibly Pryor. And Pryor is as close as we’ll get to having Tebow as a receiver, so we’ll see how that goes.
Dont forget about Edelman, he also played QB in college
I said this the last time and I’ll say it again. Tebow DID change positions in the NFL. He played fullback/tight end/special teams in New York. He sucked at it. He was slightly better as a wildcat QB.
The fact that Tebow did not play baseball in college would make him an outlier among NFL-to-MLB athletes like Brian Jordan and Deion Sanders. Likewise, Bo Jackson and Gene Conley were college and pro baseball players prior to playing pro football and basketball respectively. Danny Ainge played minor league baseball while in college and in the major leagues prior to his NBA career. Timmy’s going against the grain.
If he wants to take a shot at it, that’s fine. Outside of this momentary bump in attention, he won’t be any more visible nationally than he was as an ESPN analyst and (an inexplicable) ABC special event programming host. If he couldn’t land an NFL job as even a publicity stunt, he’s not making an MLB roster as one either. Heck, even Michael Jordan couldn’t do that.
All this could’ve been avoided if his dumbass just switched to tight end. Jordan Reed did that, and he’s doing great.
Terrell Pryor became wide out for Cleveland
For a humble guy, Tebow sure didn’t make any compromises in his NFL career. He thought the CFL was below him even though guys like Warren Moon have been forced to go play in it for a time, he wouldn’t switch positions from QB when guys like Reed and Edelman successfully have, etc.
If 1 out of every 10 attempts he makes clobbers Ben Rothlisberger, then I welcome this change.
Like I said, your typical party at Napoli’s.
1-3 with a Homer that doinks Big Ben and it’s Tebow. Please join the braves Tebow. You could even be pitcher if you wanted.
Needs more Jeebus.
as Dave Dameshek said you cant spell Tebow without TE
he was a flop at qb he honestly would’ve had a better chance at tight end or fullback like he did in New York
Lake Elsinore tried to sign Tebow a few years ago. They’ve expressed interest again. I wonder if Tebow realizes he’ll just be a publicity stunt there? That seems to be all the Padres organization knows how to do, similar to their drafting of Manziel as a 2B (of course, still unsigned).
My mets need him to play right field
“Only Bo Jackson was the kind of freak that could do both”
…you forgot Neon Deion
