I hope that Tebow sticks by what he's said and stays around the next couple of seasons at Florida. It sure has been a joy for me to go to the Swamp and watch him play in person, I can tell you that.
I think that happens alot in our society today. Floyd Mayweather cant just be a great boxer, it has to be, "Is he the greatest of all time?" Same with college football and to a lessor degree college basketball players. There are always comparisons and is he the next......??? instead of an appreciation of what is being accomplished. I happen to be a Pro/college football fan, baseball fan, pro/college basketball fan, and boxing fan. There are so many people that will tell me "I dont watch the NBA because... or baseball is too boring because...." While I can understand personal preferences if you can just enjoy something for what it is it instead of what it isn't, then things are much more enoyable. (sermon for the day)
