Think about this, guys like Ray Lewis are media darlings on ESPN (and now all over other networks too) yet he was involved (more so than what he was accused and got away with) in a manslaughter case.. Now he’s all over the place, doing commercials, even doing a contest where a “Special Someone” can spend the day (or some such nonsense) with him! A guy involved in a murder and it doesn’t matter because he’s an NFL player and he’s being overexposed by networks like ESPN.

ESPN is Garbage… They play the sarcasm angle and make people look bad (or good depending on their agenda with said players).. Do we REALLY CARE if there’s infighting? Do we?

cept maybe for that perfect touchdown pass to beat the Steelers in OT in the playoffs..

he couldn’t hold tebow’s jock for 1 day and yet hoge calls him a phony for one story that was reported by “sources”.

this is obviously the doing of the jet’s front office trying to save face by dragging tebow’s name through the mud. and the fact they couldn’t even do that right shows the incompetency of this franchise.

this is why i stopped watching ESPN and watch the NFL network. they may play the same things over and over again but at least they dont have has-been NFL players trying to generate ratings by dragging good people’s name through the mud.

Regardless, there is an extreme lack of a professionalism on display every time he is in front of a microphone. It is one thing to dissect a player’s performance, but it is another thing to get personal. This is his bad habit and he has done it with Rogers, Warner, Young, etc. in addition to Tebow.

Does anyone remember him recognizing he was being a jerk and saying the following:

“I’ve been wrong on a lot of levels with [Tebow]… I’d lost the ability, or the opportunity to shed light on what an amazing story on how he has worked, persevered, worked, his diligence…all those things you try to teach young people…I’ve become a big fan.”

I guess that all of that is now out of the window because of an anonymously sourced story with zero back up.

The national title, the Heisman, the turn around in Denver, the OT victory over the Steelers, all of the charitable stuff….GONE, he is a phony based on one story from an anonymous source?

No doubt Tebow isn’t going to be confused for Andrew Luck anytime soon, but there is no reason for the personal crap from someone like Hoge.

I suppose it is likely that Tim Tebow will play elsewhere next year, but there is a part of me that thinks Sporano could be gone and Tebow could be the starting QB for the Jets with a new spread option OC.

I think Tim would do well as Brady’s understudy while playing other roles in the process. If you read Brady’s scouting report it sounds a lot like Tebow and Brady cannot have many more years.

Some think Josh McDaniels it going to the Cleveland Browns as HC and will take Mallett with him, leaving his spot at the Pats for Tebow.

No, they did not report it independently, as you claim. They reported it jointly, as stated above for you. And they used the always credible “unnamed sources”.

Look, if the Jets thought he couldn’t play qb, and he was really refusing to play in any other capacity, they wouldn’t have activated him on Sunday. It’s not too tough to dismiss a report like this.

I don’t know if Tebow can succeed in this league, but these knee-jerk haters of him are getting as tiresome as those who thinks he walks on water. He did succeed last year, albeit unconventionally, and that seems to irk the multi-concussed Hodge because he doesn’t fit into his cut-and-paste image of what a quarterback “should” be.

Kind of like the way three different NFL coaching staff (plus the John Elway and the Jags) have studied and worked with him and concluded he can’t play.

Apparently Tebowmaniacs are just smarter than everyone else.

Can you name the 46 qb’s who had a higher passer rating than Tim Tebow in his “great” year last year?

Tebow may not be a first rate quality QB, but he’s the pawn in this case, and Hoge is Exhibit A in the cumulative effect of concussions.

The Jets have never recovered from the Cruz 99-yarder last year. The Giants then beating the Pats to win it all was a kick in the gut with steel-toe boots. So Woody tried to regain the back pages by first going after Eli’s brother (and we all knew Peyton would never work the same city as Eli, especially coming off a Super Bowl), then traded for Tebow. But they had no legitimate plan for using him – he was just there to get buzz – and that’s all he has done.

It’s all about publicity for the Jets – this is straight out of the George Steinbrenner “How To Stay Relevant in New York” instruction manual. Except, even in the 80s and early 90s, the Yankees still had a past they could point to… the Jets have Super Bowl III and nothing else.

First off, the Broncos didn’t win “in spite of Tebow”. The personnel they had – and the addition of talented Brandon Marshall, this year’s #1 receiver, went 4-12 and 1-4 before Tebow became the full-time started. Gosh, I wonder why people give him the credit?

He also won several games, including the Jets game, with incredible 4th quarter comebacks under tremendous scrutiny. The Pittsburgh playoff victory was literally a miracle.

Guys like Hoge looking to hate on him any chance they get really make me smh. It’s clear there is something religious going on in a case like that. Hoge has some spiritual problems.
