He's a cliche' drivin' robot that never amplifies his comfort zone in his own personality when the camera's are around. He comes off as a total fake to me in every sense of the word. Everything about him seems scripted. He just rubs me the wrong way. It's almost like he's programmed and was ready for what has happened to him, regardless of how he stinks it up on the field. If that was ME, and I played competitive football, to go onto the media after pitiful performances and smile from ear to ear and talk about the grace of God and how we are one, just wouldn't fly for me. I don't know about anyone else.
As a person, I'd ask him to be the best man in my wedding, but his his personality comes a sense of bullshit. That's how I feel though. I wish I didn't feel that way because his story is great for the NFL.
I find it interesting that you see it that way. I see it the exact opposite....he has always been very involved in charities, religion has always been a major part of his life and he's an all around good person-he doesn't hide that and he's not ashamed of it and I find it very admirable.
I agree he's a good man and I admire him making donations to charities as well. I just think he push's it too far and he comes off as obnoxious and fake. He kind of plays a character & it doesn't sit well with me but I do too like the man Tim Tebow. All of his interviews are just full of cliche's. Not one thing he ever says comes from the natural heart or normal emotion. It's always:
"First I would like to thank my savior and lord Jesus Christ for gracing my teammates and myself with the ability to pull this win off. We played with full of heart, determination and we never quit. We are a band of brothers in arms and I am 100% confident in their ability to win football games and I'm just thrilled to be apart of the Denver Broncos and the Denver Broncos organization and I just thank Jesus Christ for giving me this opportunity to play with such a group of men. We are the few we are the proud, we are the Broncos."
See, most of that is ramble. Sometimes you listen to him and say "Uhhuh." I prefer natural emotion that comes from a highly competitive contest. Like Bart's Scott's answer to playing the Steelers in 2010 to go onto the Super Bowl. He responded, snarling "CAN'T WAIT!" That's raw emotion to me. Tebow has none of it.
I totally agree the stuff he says sounds scripted most of the time. I don’t believe it is though. As a Chargers fan I get to listen to Phillip Rivers and his scripted lines too. They rarely come off as genuine, because Phillip is trying to toe the line and not say anything to stir up controversy.
Like in 1995 when Neil O’Donnell could have thrown his receiver under the bus for those two picks he through, but he didn’t.
You can’t argue that Tebow didn’t show any emotion in that short press conference after the loss to Ole Miss.
