Tim Tebow: Savior- or saviorest?
If you even thought about accessing any sort of media relating somehow to sports, then you surely know that yesterday was Tim Tebow's first start of the season. And I'm gonna take him to task.
I actually have nothing against Tebow- from what I've read/heard, he's a fine and upstanding young man, a devout Christian, and an excellent teammate. Tebow has done humanity a solid. His parents should be proud.
He definitely doesn't deserve most of the venom being spewed towards him. You can't blame Denver for reaching to draft Tebow in the first round. He (probably) didn't ask the fans to start cheering for him when Kyle Orton's career started to tailspin. It's definitely not his fault that everyone everywhere nitpicking his football career the past two weeks- talking about how inaccurate he is, why he is inaccurate, how his arm isn't strong enough, how his arm is strong enough, how he needs an offense specifically tailored to his skill set, how he needs to be a pocket passer, how he isn't ever going to be a pocket passer, his intangibles...and I didn't even actually read most of the articles- this is all information gleaned from headlines and the NFL pregame shows that I watched today.
I understand why this is- we're like information sponges, and the Internet is Bikini Bottom. Bill Simmons has talked before about the culture of the Internet, and the 24 hour news cycle, and because there's so much more air time to fill, things get analyzed and reanalyzed, and the analysis gets analyzed and so on and so on. And of course I could rip on the process...but using my own blog to do so would be a little hypocritical. I just don't believe that you should bite the hand that feeds you (especially since most of the time it's my own hand).
I do think that this over-overanalyzation had a ridiculous impact on the development of young players. Head coaches too, but I'm not talking about coaches here- I'm talking about the man Tim Tebow. I remember as a kid reading this book of NFL player profiles from the early 1980's. One of the player profiles was Bert Jones, a young QB for the Baltimore Colts, and his head coach made a comment akin to QBs taking about five years to really fully understand the NFL game.
Every time I stumble across an article about Tebow or see him being virtually dissected, I think about that quote. I think about Tim Tebow, starting for the 4th or 5th time in the 2nd year of his NFL career, and I think it's absolutely preposterous that people would be trying to make declarative statements about his football future at this stage in his career. Especially since everybody knew that Tebow was going to be a project coming out of the funky spread offense that Florida ran. But hey, we have to fill the air time, so let's keep talking and talking and let's run this kid's career into the ground before it even gets started. Poor Timmy.
But enough about that. On to the game!
Full disclosure- I didn't actually get to watch Tebow play very much yesterday. Apparently 1-4 Denver at 0-5 Miami didn't really make for must-see TV, Tebow or no Tebow. So I watched San Diego at New York (the Lions were on, but I couldn't stand to watch them suck). Ergo, my discussion of Tebow will be mostly academic.
I know that his passing numbers were so-so. I know that he led the Denver offense to within field goal range a couple times in the first half but the Denver kicker missed a couple of field goals. I know that Tebow led the Broncos from 15 points down in the last 3 minutes of the game (thanks on-side kick team!) and then about half-way through the OT period the defense delivered a turnover that eventually led to a 52 yard game winning field goal. I know that after the game they interviewed Tebow and he thanked Jesus and then his teammates.
People with way more time and money on their hands are going to sit around and dissect the film of this game and be able to determine whether Tebow played good, great, or more great. So I can't really comment on that. He led them to a win, which is always a big deal in the NFL. He's definitely an exciting player, if not slightly unorthodox.
What I want to focus on is his post game comments- particularly how they rubbed me the wrong way.
Maybe it's just because I'm a little older, a little wiser, or maybe I'm about to get ungrafted from the Vine- but I really wasn't feeling the shout-out to JC. Far be it for me to make any sort of judgments or assumptions or mind-readings, but it really felt forced. It was like Tim spent all week with a series of post-it-notes around his house that said "If get interviewed, thank Jesus Christ Personal Savior".
I don't have any problem with athletes being outspoken about their faith- as long as its in context. If you're speaking to a bunch of church camp kids- yeah, tell them about your faith. If you're telling a reporter why you set up this charity or that fundraiser- sure, that's appropriate. If the NFL analysts are asking you about game situations- you should probably leave God out of it. Especially since you just got sacked 7 times, went 13-27 passing, and spent most of the game struggling against the worst defense since Helms Deep.
I don't know- I just think that it's okay to talk about football when they ask you football questions. If you repped Christ because you're wanting to stay humble, try looking at your statistics instead. Plenty there to keep yourself in perspective. If you name-dropped Jesus because you wanted Him to get proper praise and glory, try going 31-35 for 325 yards and 5 TDs. But don't take my word for it:
-If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. If anyone plays quarterback, he should complete at least 60% of his passes with an average yards/attempt of about 7-8, and a 3-1 TD-to-INT ration. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen- 1 Peter 4:11 (Bolded part was not part of the original manuscripts. Or any of the manuscripts, for that matter)
That's all I got. I don't know if it's good enough, but thanks to the Internet we have nothing but time to kill and space to fill. I do hope that Tebow does well- I like to see the good guys succeed and the underdogs prove their doubters wrong. I'm also partial to left-handed QBs TTFN!

The problem with polls
You want to know how cool I am? I'm about to singlehandedly lead the Air Force Falcons to an NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision championship.
On the PS3. Boo-yah!
Before you drag the mouse up to that little X next to the tab you're reading this on, I ask you to just hang with me for a second. There's actual substance to this post, and I will get to it fairly quickly. But in order to get to the meat, you first have to chow down the airy, spun sugar/like substance that is the backdrop of my story.
I'm playing a dynasty on NCAA Football 11 as the Air Force Falcons. I've always had this mythical interest in the football programs of the service academies. I think this is because there is nothing quite as manly as the idea of playing football at a military institution combined with that fact that military institutions generally make use of the Option offense (my absolute favorite football offensive system).
Anyways, so I'm playing as Air Force. Obviously I needed to be on the team- that's the whole reason why dorks like me play sports games. Right? So I created myself as a dynamic, dual-threat quarterback (a lot like real life, without the 'dynamic' or the 'dual-threat'. Or even the 'quarterback') and started plowing through Conference USA (I know Air Force is currently in the Mountain West- but I just had to find a league that played a conference championship game so I could have that extra game's worth of stats) like I was a warm knife and the Tulsas and Houstons were melted butter.
My latest season started off with a 21 point win over a #6 Florida Gators squad- on the road. I shouldn't brag, but I was impressed. After all, Lee Corso and Kirk Herbstreit had both predicted Florida to win. Boy I showed them. I played on Varsity level and everything!
The very next week, I skyrocketed up to #19 in the polls. Where was I the week before- I don't know. Limbo, oblivion, Dante's inferno- it really doesn't matter. The fact is that now I'm #19. Scratch that- #15 after I creamed Army last week by 20 (who is the civy now, huh?).
I'm really close to actual real-life application, so if you've made it this far, you are about to be rewarded beyond your wildest dreams (which probably says more about the state of your dreams than it does about my writing). I was looking at the rest of my schedule, and I realized that at the rate I'm going, I will probably be playing for a National Championship at season's end. I'm in the top 15 in week 3- I'm basically already sitting at the cool table! Most of my games will be conference games (in a weak conference), with a trip to Mississippi State (hardly a Florida-level challenge) and a conference championship game that will give me an extra week to move up in the polls. BCS, here we come!
And so naturally I then started thinking about the problem with polls- because this is how my mind works. I don't question it anymore, I just roll with it. Mostly I was thinking about college football polls (which I've talked about in the past), but it's no stretch to apply that to other polls as well. Particularly since we're currently in the middle of a GOP Presidential candidate orgy.
The use of polls to determine the national championship is, I believe, an inherently flawed strategy. I feel like it gives artificial favor to the teams that are ranked in the preseason polls as well as teams from BCS conferences. This is because, unless you have a colossal faceplant to start the season, or multiple losses throughout the season, the chances are pretty good that you are going to be in a strong position to remain ranked in the top 25 throughout the season. And if you are in a BCS conference, you have a greater chance of being ranked in the first place (and less of a chance of falling out of the top 25 should you lose a game).
This is no mere academic issue, either. Being ranked brings prestige with it. You get nice little write-ups in the beginning of college football preview mags. Your scores come first on ESPN's homepage. The byproduct of the increased attention gets you more love and attention from the top recruits, which means you're more likely to continue to have good football teams in the future, which means you'll be ranked in the top 25, which means that....you see where this leads, don't you? A self-sustaining cycle of artificially enhanced dominance. And what does that dominance get you?
MONEY. The better your team, the more money that gets brought into the school. So obviously there is a great deal of interest in maintaining the status quo, which is that certain programs are granted the advantage of being ranked before actually playing a single game. This serves usually to keep the money inside the big BCS conference super-circle while leaving the teams like TCU and Boise State on the outside looking in.
Let me show you a little bit how the BCS schools get favored in this system. First of all, a majority of preseason ranked schools come from the six BCS conferences (Big 10+2, Pac-whateveritisnow, Big not-really-12, used-to-be-Big East, ACC, $EC). A fairly large proportion of BCS conference teams schedule very winnable games in the early season. Sure, there's always early-season high-profile showdowns, such as Oregon versus LSU, but most of the time they schedule cream-puffs. The kind that E. Gordon Gee eats for breakfast.
So by the time the average conference season starts, a team that started the season ranked highly is already going to have 3-4 wins under their belt, and if they're in a BCS conference, they're going to be playing against other ranked teams whose rankings are most likely reinforced by a series of wins against inferior competition (not always, but more often than not). So then a ranked team beats another ranked team which enhances its artificially bestowed status (or a non-ranked conference team boosts their status because they beat a ranked team)- even though we don't actually know whether or not the ranked team is actually any good yet. Does this make sense? Am I taking crazy pills?
Sure, there are guidelines to help make sure that the voters are remaining as objective as possible. But come on. There is a subjective human element here that makes this whole thing stink. Ask 1994 Penn State about their level of confidence in voter judgment.
I read an article done by a guy that seems to know more about statistics than I do, and he came to the conclusion that preseason polls do matter (although not as much as we might think). Using a complex formula, he deteremined the difference typically comes down to around 1 poll spot. Even though most of the time 1 poll spot is inconsequential, it can also be absolutely devestating. 1 poll spot seperates #3 from #2, and only #2 gets to play against #1 for crystal football.
Ask 2004 Auburn about how they feel about 1 poll spot.
Sometimes teams win and lose ground in the polls, for sure- sometimes you just don't win that impressively or someone else leapfrogs you because theyran up the score notched a huge win. But these are the exception and not the rule. Most of the time you move up (or at least hold steady) if you win.
So how does tie into politics? Simple- polls influence the headlines, which in turn influences how most people perceive or feel about candidates (or at least the perception of how people perceive or feel about candidates. Man my head is spinning!). And the candidates respond accordingly. Don't believe me? Look at the action, and how much of it is dictated by polls. It's like candidates are not even addressing ideas anymore- they're defending their rank. They're on constant campaign mode, always trying to make their case to be #1.
The obvious problem with this is that our focus as voters can become about things like debate performance instead of policy content. We start to pay less attention to what Herman Cain's "9-9-9" plan consists of and more time about how he sells/defends his image. And then we have the audacity to get upset when we find out that the people in office are not as compentant as we thought they were based on the performances that we asked for.
So what's the moral of this story? Obviously I'm telling you to do everything you can to artificially enhance yourself. Whether that means that you schedule easy wins for your football team, become a charismatic public speaker, or make your speed rating a '95' (even though in reality it's more like '65')- just do what you have to do. Because in today's society, it's where you start that determines where you finish.

The most uninteresting segment in the world
I just got done watching a segment on College Football Gameday that was so atrociously bad that I am purposefully breaking my writing sabbath to rake it over the coals. Yeah. It was that bad.
The feature revolved around Baylor University quarterback Robert Griffin III. Griffin the Third is the next Peyton Manning for all I know- but from the amount of effort it appeared that they put into the spot, he might as well be the next Cooper Manning.
They led into it by telling us how much of a 'free spirit' Griffin is. The actual spot borrowed the Most Interesting Man motif, right down to the music, grainy film quality, and the narrator- or maybe it's his brother who apparently has some Pharyngeal disorder. I liked your first story better. No offense to RG3, but if he truly is the most interesting man in college football then the NCAA has a personality crisis that goes far beyond the mere lack of knowledge of the Force.
Let's review the list of qualities that ESPN felt qualified Griffin 3.0 to be "The Most Interesting College Football Man":
Might be the fastest quarterback in the history of football- Hey this isn't the dark ages. Might be? Why settle for woulda/coulda/shoulda? We could actually find this out! Simply run all of the quarterbacks in history through a series of speed drills, use a complicated mathematical formula to plug the numbers into, and voila- we could know for sure. But don't try to sell us on speculative qualities- we get enough of that crap from Washington.
Participated in the US Olympic trials- as a 17 year old- Nadia Comăneci scored a perfect 10.0 on the uneven bars during the 1976 Actual Olympics. At 14 years old. So basically there have already been kids doing what he did except they did it better and younger.
Graduated early from high school and college- Well that's certainly quite a feat, but I'm sure there are tons of students that have accomplished that. It either means he is really smart or took really easy classes, or some combination of the two. I'm not sure if that makes him Most Interesting. Or even marginally interesting. Most smart people tend to be boring, and if he just took easy classes, then he probably doesn't have a very wide knowledge base from which to draw his topics of conversation.
Wears goofy socks- I suppose that's pretty interesting. I admire a man who can wear kids socks and get away with it. What really makes this interesting is that Griffin said that each pair of socks "has a story". Yes Robert, I'll bet they do. Let's explore some of those stories, shall we?
Proposed to his girlfriend using a song that he wrote- Thank you, breath of fresh air. Proposing to your girlfriend using an original song has probably never been done. Ever. Oh wait, what's that? There was a guitar involved? Woah! I've never heard of that sort of thing happening. Sorry Girlfriend, I was incapacitated by the sheer overwhelming sensation of all the innovation and I didn't catch what you said. You mean he proposed while you were walking on the football field????? Who could have ever imagined a football player proposing on a football field????? While singing a song- that he wrote!!!!! That is just too cutting edge. My brain can't process this much creativity in one sitting. I need to go lie down.
He has thrown more touchdown passes than incompletions so far this year- Please. That's just a statistical anomaly. Sure, it's interesting- but that's not something that makes Gryffindor himself more interesting, because technically any quarterback could have accomplished that. I mean, Peyton Manning could have done that- would that have made him the most interesting man in college football- or any demographic, for that matter?
I'm sure that Robert Griffin III is a very interesting guy. But I think that because of individual make-up of each person, from their unique genetic structure to their environmental influence, everybody is interesting in their own way. I just wish that ESPN would have made a little more effort to make Robert Griffin III feel like a really unique individual, instead of telling us he was off-the-charts interesting and then showing him putting on kids socks (which is only mild-to-moderately interesting) and listing off a series of accomplishments that happen all the time.
