For those of you keeping score that makes it “On the record”s confirming story: 0 “On the record” saying it’s bunk: 2. I think a little more care in the future, and a public apology might be in order from Mr. Florio.

I’m sooooo glad I took time to visit this Web site and post comments three hours ago. And I’m soooo glad I automatically save my comments so I can just repost them and not feel my time was totally wasted.
—————————————–
Here’s something to chew on, Florio:
Tebow is on the record. That other source you’re believing so steadfastly … not. I’m more inclined to believe the guy who’s willing to make a public statement and provide names of others who can confirm his version.
Frankly, I’ve never bought the “Let’s all bow our heads before the Wonderlic” story. Doesn’t ring true, and I’d have to hear it from multiple, on-the-record sources. I’m sure he said a personal prayer before the test. So what? Didn’t you pray before taking the bar?
It’s just as offensive for others to ridicule Tebow for practicing his beliefs as it is for him to “push” his beliefs on them. BTW, can anyone provide examples of Gators’ players who feel he did that in their locker room?

@GoBrowns19
Even though with a Browns fan I agree with your point. If it wasn’t interesting you wouldn’t have clicked on it. Florio makes money by trying to get people to click on articles. Thats why you get stuff like this, or obviously biased articles, or last name confusion (IR: Cribbs traded! thats right Steve Cribbs back up place kick holder was traded).
As far as why its interesting; I am sure many people finding interesting for many different reasons. Love him or hate him (I hate him) Tebow is the most interesting draft specimen possibly ever. The debates of where he will go, where should he go, how will he do, how would he do at different positions, are endless. For me, that is why I like to lap up every bit of Tebow news, to bolster my arguments that he will indeed be a failure. People that love him obviously are looking to refute said arguments with all the information possible.
In closing, I would say just ignore the people that say they don’t care, or don’t think Florio should care.

Because it’s interesting people. If it wasn’t interesting you wouldn’t have clicked on the link! I’m sick of the comments section being inundated with WHO CARES FLORIO, GET A LIFE.
It’s interesting because these days there is a growing chasm between the religious and the non religious. Alot can be attributed to the catholic priest fiascos, the fact that all these silly wars going on are only because of religion, and the growing sentiment that adults that run their lives by what “god” wants are pushers and kooks. That’s why it’s interesting.

Hey Florio, maybe the “SOURCE” should have the balls to speak up instead of hiding like a wuss.
Either give up your source or have the “source” give him self up.
Its bullshit to say someone said something they flatly deny and then not know who is accusing them.

“We’ll keep digging on this one. We’re confident that our source didn’t make it up”
You will keep digging on this? Why don’t you get a life! There are much more important issues out there than this!
If this is what they are paying you a salary for, I say fire you!

What? Tim Tebow? The best college football player of all-time? Tim Tebow?
There you go: Trying to stir up all those Roethlisberger fans.
Haven’t they suffered enough?

Florio just wishes he had the reputation that Tebow has.
It is also sad that all these God and Christian haters need to explode on a sports blog when there are other blogs they could vent their hate.

This story is complete non-sense. IT NEVER HAPPENED. When are you going to retract it and admit that it’s baloney? You implied in your original article that your “source” publicly backed Timmy down. If he was so brave to stand up in front of his peers and 100 guests and holla at Tebow, why is unwilling to let your readers know who he is. It has become common place for reporters to take unsubtantiated Tebow stories with anonymous sources and attempt to “use” it to draw awareness to themselves. It worked! I have never heard of you or your site (after looking at it now I know why). I know with certainty TT never said it, I believe you know it, and I hope you set the record straight. Honesty/Integrity (while used as a punch line by you) do mean plenty to most of us. Perhaps if you chose to embrace these admirable traits (as TT has done so far in 22 years on this planet) you would find this world a little more fulfilling?

Florio, this only discredits you more. you continue to post stories that hurt this kids reputation, when in fact, everybody says he is the nicest person you could meet. lay off of him.

Well, if the QB at BYU says he wasn’t being overtly Christian, who are WE to challenge that? I mean, BYU is not in any way a religious school with tons of cult members enrolled.

Who cares? Tebow wouldn’t be the first player that believes in god and talks about it and he wouldn’t be the last. The original story made it sound like he addressed a room of 50 players to get a prayer going and that much at least seems proven false at this point.

No accountability whatsoever.
I’m becoming increasingly convinced that this website is just a front for a company that is producing a series of case studies to sell to journalism schools.
“Protecting your sources” works when you’ve proven yourself to be a trustworthy journalist. It doesn’t when you prove yourself, time and time again, to be a base rumormongerer and peddler of opinions parading as fact.
