Jets Training Camp Coverage Is Nauseating
CORTLAND — He’s a prisoner of his own fame. Tim Tebow said yesterday his celebrity status as one of the NFL’s most popular stars can make trying to lead a normal life difficult. Tebow’s enormous following has led to his every move being scrutinized and analyzed. Because he’s Tim Tebow, he was still dealing with the fallout from his shirtless run through the rain following Saturday’s practice. “I was running and my shirt felt like it was 20 pounds because we’d been in the rain and I was signing autographs for 20-30 minutes,” he said when asked why he did it. “I didn’t really think that you all would be filming and taking pictures.” He said the most ribbing had come from fellow quarterbacks Mark Sanchez and Greg McElroy. “It was funny,” Tebow said. “A few guys gave me a hard time, but honestly, I don’t think anybody knew until they saw it that night on ESPN. It was funny. More than anything, it was probably Mark and Greg giving me a hard time. Everybody else catches on after that.”
My “job,” and yes, I use the term lightly, is to basically sensationalize the news. Exaggerate and bend the truth and make stories out of nothing for the sake of entertainment.
And even I can’t believe the amount of bullshit coverage Jets training camp has gotten. From legitimate journalists, nonetheless. Plain and simple if you are writing articles about a football player taking his shirt off, you need to kill yourself. I mean some of these storylines they’ve been reporting are shit that I didn’t even bat an eyelash at. Didn’t even consider running them on fucking Barstool Sports because they were such non stories. And real life newspapers are running with it. ESPN is live every day from SUNY Cortland talking about special teams surprises and game planning this season. People tweeting live updates of Tebows performance in 7-on7′s. Santonio Holmes saying the same shit he’s been saying for a year straight now.
Whoooo cares? Who cares about any of this shit? Obviously I knew this was coming, but even I never imagined it would be this over the top. I guess I had too much faith in humankind and sports media. Make sure to tune into ESPN today to find out when Tim Tebow is pinching a loaf.
PS – Santonio – You’re not a scape goat. You’re just a plain old goat who underperformed and deserves all the criticism you get.
Jets suck balls..
how come i havent read a single thing this offseason about our running backs or OL? we are not a pass first team. who gives a shit about our crappy QBs and underperforming WRs?
Who should kill themselves if they write an article about what?
i would like to see rex ryan running with his shirt off.
Mark Sanchez is giving Tebow a hard time about running around shirtless in front of cameras at practice? Really?

fucking media
It was that douche Bob Glauber who broke the Tebow shirtless story.
You do realize that your boss is a bigger douche than any of the mainstream media. His hatred for Beckett is comical. Beckett is one of the guys who clearly gives a shit, he just hates the Boston media because they always try to tear people down for a story that sucks anyway. Beckett is known for his intensity on the mound, and is known asa guy that teammates respect. Pres is too dumb to formulate his own opinion so he buys into the Herald/Globe-manufactured hatred of Beckett. It’s similar to a guy like Cutler who is loved by his teammates and gives it his all, but is smart enough to realize how shitty the media is and treats them like the clowns they are, and thus gets the reputation of a guy who doesn’t care or try hard enough.
Hanna Storm was wetter than the bottom of the ocean during her “interview” with Sanchez. Pretty sure she was finger-blasting herself the entire time…

this is the best coverage you Jets fans are going to see of your team for a few months so enjoy it while everyone is smiling and playing around shirtless in the rain. in about a month its nothing but .500 football and QB controversy with a few arrests and ridiculous quotes sprinkled in
@horses – you know Beckett has like a +4.5 era over the last 4 years and makes something like $15mil a year? im not in his head so i cant say how much or little he cares about the game but i can tell you he is one of the overpaid/underachieving “aces” around
This is how the Jets stay relevant. Nonsensical bullshit that keeps them in the news. Do you think they pursued Tebow because of his on-field talent? Nope. Business as usual for a Third rate dump of an organization living in the shadow of the Giants.
Fuck the Jets and double fuck ESPN for talking about the Jets for a solid half hour this morning. You could combine ESPN’s coverage of the 31 other teams and it wouldn’t equal the amount of time as the Jets.
As the Giants quietly get ready for another beautiful season…
