Strange thing to say about the SEC DPOY. I thought the knock on him was his size. I think he has a shot at OLB with the line that STL has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It already WAS the focal point before he ever opened his mouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the writer pointed out, Tebow is a marginal talent and a major distraction to any team, but he's totally ok with that. Michael Sam, not even worth taking a chance on.

Hope Sam finds his niche on the field, which will help the off-the-field stuff eventually work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before reading the article, I kind of understood his stance but now, the hypocrisy does shed a little different light on it .... but honestly, it's not very surprising based on TD's beliefs.

Maybe people should judge him on his parenting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
