Because 27 days without a Tebow special would be too much for America to handle

Tebow-verkill: This Has Got To Stop, ESPN
dailydickpunch.com

But this Tim Tebow obsession you seem to have is starting to take on a life of its own, and I think it’s high time you re-evaluated whether you’re going to stay “ESPN, The Worldwide Leader in Sports,” or if you’re going to change to “TSPN, The Tebow-wide Tebow in Tebow.”

I was informed that tonight, at 10:30 Eastern, a SportsCenter Special will air titled “Tim Tebow: Face To Face.” That’s right, folks. Tim Tebow hasn’t been relevant to the NFL for about a month now, but we’re getting a SportsCenter Special to watch him talk to a geriatric in a short skirt.

It’s low-hanging fruit, and I get that. But your constant haranguing of the Tim Tebow story needs to take a few steps back and take a breath.

Sam's not joking. This really is happening, and it's called SPORTSCENTER SPECIAL: FACE TO FACE WITH TIM TEBOW. The first two TebowCenter specials took place on December 2 and January 12 (an unbearable 36-day wait between episodes), so at least the Worldwide Leader is stepping up their coverage of Tim just when the country needs it most.

I must say I am impressed Timmy is not gone crazy yet. If I was THE most polarizing figuere in all of sports, in my early twenties, single, and some what good looking - I'd have 17 STD's, been on drugs, married Kim Kardashian, failed my career, divorced Kim Kardashian, done a duette with Justin Bieber, tried a comeback only to fail again, shot Justin Bieber, gone to jail, and been on Celebrity Rehab: The Alex Adamo 3 hour Special, than like everyone else - died at the age of 27.

Posted by Sam on 2012-02-07 23:54:25 When John Elway was the best QB on Planet Earth, he did not get a fraction of the publicity that our unproven second year QB is receiving. I do not get the circus. I do not like the circus. I wish it would go away. And I do not understand why Tebow plays along with it. He needs to concentrate on learning how to do his job if he is to be relevant this time next year.
Posted by Alaskan on 2012-02-07 22:37:49 DavidInLA Ted's under a big pile of work, so it's hard to say when he'll be able to write next. Thanks for asking, he'll appreciate it.
Posted by Douglas Lee on 2012-02-07 21:18:27 I was almost surprised to see the Patriots vs the Giants. Based on the coverage leading up to the game, I'd have thought it was going to be Tebow vs Peyton Manning. In all seriousness, when was there less coverage about the the QBs who were actually playing the game?
Posted by DCJ1 on 2012-02-07 19:43:41 In the New Zealand "Skywatch" magazine, showing the upcoming TV listings, there was an article on the Super Bowl. Guess whose picture illustrated the article?
Posted by RobSwenson on 2012-02-07 19:36:12 ESPN must be feeling the pinch from the end of both lockouts. (I'm sure they helped their ratings a lot) Do they have a new Contract with one of the major cable providers coming up soon?
Posted by OutInOregon on 2012-02-07 19:29:08 How can you honestly make that claim?

The article is calling the media out. The media is doing a special face-to-face interview asking the same questions that have been asked before during prime time. The blog is a little tiny corner of the internet, the interview is on ESPN, The Worldwide Leader in Tebow.

It's not even close.
Posted by Sam on 2012-02-07 19:28:08 This blog is far worse than the media with the Tebow coverage. If you don't like the Tebow hype, THAN STOP MENTIONING HIM.
Posted by Adam a.k.a. Chicken on 2012-02-07 19:24:29 ^^^ What he asked and said. I prefer less Tebow h8...
Posted by DBfanVegas on 2012-02-07 18:41:29 Doug/TJ/Doc - When should we expect some articles from Ted?

Tebow still draws viewers. Irrelevance is irrelevant. :-)
