The buzz that Florida quarterback Tim Tebow always creates never ceases to amaze me.
During the SEC Media Days last week, it was discovered that one coach in the conference did not vote for Tebow for the preseason All-SEC team (other than Florida coach Urban Meyer, because a coach can’t vote for his own players).
Gasp!
And even though no one remembers or cares who made the various preseason teams at the end of the day, this little fiasco was blown up so much that when the culprit was identified as South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier, he called the SEC to change his vote.
Spurrier then publicly addressed the situation, where he apologized to Tebow and said his original vote was because of a miscommunication between him and an assistant.
Would those actions ever happen with any other player in the country?
Absolutely not. Because no other player is Superman.
Then later in the week, a reporter asked the two-time national champion and Heisman Trophy winner if he was “saving himself” for marriage, and Tebow replied with a “yes” without any hesitation.
With how open Tebow is about his faith, why is the fact that he’s a virgin a big shock to anyone? And, really, why is that newsworthy?
Oh yeah, because he’s Superman.
