Meyer brought TT in cause he might be able to play....time will tell. What TT can do is give 100% on every second of every practice, promote the team and set the pace in the little things, watching film, learning the playbook, focusing on football and not the “things” pro football brings to these young athletes.

Plus if the media is focuses on TT, then the youngsters can fly under the radar at least a little.

He’s gotta be killing their ratings.

First Take's rating are about half of what they were five years ago at its peak. It used to draw about 600,000 viewers. It's now about 300,000.

. Kapernick would never try out for a tight end slot, it's starting QB or nothing for him.

Kapernick asked for $20 million per season from the XFL. Tebow is getting a non-guaranteed contract that will pay $700,000 if he makes the roster.

Tebow is only getting a tryout because Jacksonville's head coach Urban Meyer was his college coach.

Tebow perfectly qualified to end up on the coaching staff and probably will.

Stephen A can take it up with Urban Meyer. Otherwise, I don’t give a damn.

“there’s a 50-50 chance that this thread turns into another cacophony of “I cut the cord 10 years ago, and I’ve never been happier”.”

Yeah, some guy will come on and tell us how he stopped watching the NFL in 1929 and hasn’t missed it since! /sarc

If you have cable 6% goes to ESPN in your bundle-the most expensive channel.

Dump cable.

Heh, ESPN.
The lowest of the low.
As if anyone of sentient abilities even thinks of listening to that group of clowns.

Great. I think he’ll help the team.

Again, the comment has shifted to Tebow.

Nothing in my comment was about Tebow and his ability to play.

It was about how racist Smith is and how he thinks Kapernick and Prescott deserve whatever they want because..........they are BLACK.

Smith is a racist

I read somewhere earlier today that the top five selling items on the NFL store were all Tebow swag. It seems to me that if that was true bringing Tebow back is a good business move.

Yeah, true, as soon as Caperstooge actually shows up for his workout and agrees to play tight end.

The only way I would of heard about this is from reading it here. I don’t know if I should thank you or pity you for having to read the entire rant. I was probably better of not knowing on the first place as people like this bring nothing but background noise to a conversation. Thank you, it is better to know.

Steven A. Smith IS the number on reason that I will never watch ESPN. I have one word to describe him that I am not allowed to use here. He is the epitome of everything wrong with sports and sportsmanship.
