Gugny Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 All I want to know has he gotten laid yet? Dude has basically every hot chick drooling over him and he is like "Nah...I'm good." WTF? Even his teammates at Florida when interviewed would say they wish they could be Tim Tebow for a day to see what it would be like having that many hot chicks dying for you to give it to them... Dude has every man's dream and is like, "No thanks, I'm good..." He's been banging Urban Meyer for a decade! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DriveFor1Outta5 Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 can't believe this thread is on page 3 That is exactly the reason Tebow would be great for baseball. The sport has no superstars at any level that transcend into pop culture anymore. No matter what ones opinion of Tebow is, there is no question that he would give the sport some much needed publicity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter what ones opinion of Tebow is, there is no question that he would give the sport some much needed publicity. Baseball isn't really in that much need of publicity at all. And Tebow wouldn't even crack an Independent League line-up, let alone even a Single A MLB-affiliated team's roster. This is more stupid than when Jordan tried it. It'll give a jolt to some AA team's town for a couple weeks, but baseball fans going to the park hate one thing ... bad baseball. And it would grow old, very quickly, like it did with Jordan. And Jordan was a real professional athlete. Tebow isn't even one of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear people talk football, basketball, and even hockey more than I hear about baseball. At least people would be talking. Baseball has no stars anymore that are known to people who aren't diehard fans. Think about all the NFL, and NBA players with TV commercials. No baseball players are at that level anymore. I'm just of the belief that any publicly is good publicity when it comes to a sport that has an aging and disinterested fan base such as baseball.

I'm just of the belief that any publicly is good publicity when it comes to a sport that has an aging and disinterested fan base such as baseball. I've personally never had, nor even overheard, a conversation about hockey in my entire life, actually. I understand what you're saying about a "star," but baseball has gone the way of regional. Even with their channels. I watch SNY because I'm a Mets fan. I see Lincoln commercials with David Wright and Geico commercials with Jacob deGrom. If I watch the YES network, I'll see ... well I'll probably still see Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera, but that's another discussion. Baseball's ticket sales are very healthy, as it its viewership, both regionally and nationally. And they sustain that with a 162-game regular season. Post season numbers are always through the roof.

May Day 10 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 just watched his video display of his swing. It "looks" good, but from a relatively trained eye it is kind of mess, especially from the waist-down. A hitting coach should be able to fix it, I think.

Sisyphean Bills Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Baseball, hunh? Okay then. I think he missed the boat with this 7s rugby at the Olympics. He'd probably be a stud.

Baseball stars are all regional because that's how the games are broadcast. NFL and NBA are more nationally focused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acantha Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I will never in my life understand the hatred for Tim Tebow over 100's of other celebrities and sports starts that are way worse than he ever was.

May Day 10 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Exactly. Baseball stars are all regional because that's how the games are broadcast. NFL and NBA are more nationally focused. MLB has problems. National games are the same 5 teams on ESPN. Its dull. Yankees/Red Sox is so played out, I can go without ever seeing them play again. Then you have their absolutely ridiculous territory map. In Buffalo we are blacked out for like 5 teams and we have 1 team within a 3 hour drive. Minor League baseball has been poisoned and moved away from the grassroots communities. I remember the NY Penn League was great. We had Welland, St Catharines, Niagara Falls, Jamestown, Batavia, Geneva, Watertown, etc. The only one left is Batavia and they are hanging on by a thread. They all move to places like Staten Island, Brooklyn, Morgantown, etc. You go to a Bisons game and the game is treated like a mere distraction from all the promotions, themes, giveaways, etc. The players dont seem to care in the minor league level and September call-ups gut the teams right at the stretch/playoffs anyways.

DCbillsfan Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 29 years old for a baseball player in the minors is old. He should stay on TV. He was doing pretty well. This has little chance for success. I just don't get it. A 2 time National Champion playing QB at Florida plus a few years in the NFL. That's way better than most athletes ever accomplish. Time to hang it up and join the real world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Barbarian Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 @adamschefter Tim Tebow is actively pursuing a career in professional baseball and plans to hold workout for Major League Baseball teams later this month. Turns 29 soon. Has been dedicated to this for past year. the great Tebowski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Well, he seems like a good person, although an utter distraction in the NFL, and was not capable enough to play in the league. It's hard to believe he can effectively compete with these other young prospects coming up through college, and the minors. I don't know why he doesn't accept his role as a decent college football analyst on ESPN, and make a nice career for himself. He's so popular by a certain segment of the population, you know he has job security. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
