Do we even know what the endorsement was? What if it was the pro-life part 2 commercial that would have caused a media ruckus that BB didn't want?
Maybe it was for a hotel or casino chain that competes with Trump?Do we even know what the endorsement was? What if it was the pro-life part 2 commercial that would have caused a media ruckus that BB didn't want?
He is going bananas on your podcast and your goalie play on the Sons of Reidel Anthony board.I'm sort of not buying the endorsement loss as well. Sounds more like something you would say to Fox to make your trials and tribulations into a more impressive narrative about faith and redemption than something that actually happened.
But hey, what do I know?
After reflection I think I agree with someone up thread who said it more eloquently than I could: I never minded him as a football player - a great college one, a bad pro one - but the phenomenon is what continues to grate on me. YMMV.
... I have never seen the guy desperately seek the spotlight or attention whore, and maybe I am missing the obvious. The guy holds himself to a high standard as a human and as an athlete, and he desperately wants to be a pro athlete.
X 2...Agree to disagree. I am just feeling cranky maybe.
I'm assuming the pro-life stuff he did for free. If he's charging a million bucks to get on TV and do ads advocating against abortion, that's kind of messed up. But even if it was something like that, why would it matter if he was on the Pats, and why wouldn't the offer have still been on the table after he was cut?Do we even know what the endorsement was?

If Brady had set that up in summer 2000, he would have heard about it.THAT is attention seeking?

to be fair....I was guessing at the "asked for time off." I haven't actually seen that anywhere. But that's the only real reason I could think of BB advising against it.A marginal player asks a notoriously hardass coach for a day off from training camp (where presumably he should be doing everything possible to make the team)....to shoot a commercial?
How fucking stupid can someone be? It would be fair to question that player's commitment to football at that point. Tebow was listed as the 3rd QB that entire preseason, he should have been under no illusions as to the security of his roster spot.
According to the Deadspin article, Tebow described the commercial as a "one-day commercial," which to me sounds like needing to be excused for one day from camp.to be fair....I was guessing at the "asked for time off." I haven't actually seen that anywhere. But that's the only real reason I could think of BB advising against it.
Then that whole thing is weird and Tebow is being obtuse. Unless the commercial involved losing his virginity to a member of the Belichick family, why would Tebow ask BB advice about something in the future like that. I dont know that it's a day off, or some time, but it seems like unless there was some affect on training camp, there would be no need to ask.In the interview linked in the Yahoo story, it doesn't sound like he's asking for time off. He explains that he called BB asking for "advice" because he "didn't want to be a distraction" and BB's answer was that he "preferred he didn't do it". I don't take that to mean that he was asking for a day off from practice to shoot a commercial.
You know who is sad that you are cranky?Agree to disagree. I am just feeling cranky maybe.
The excerpt from his book is here:to be fair....I was guessing at the "asked for time off." I haven't actually seen that anywhere. But that's the only real reason I could think of BB advising against it.
Maybe it was a scissors or band-aid commercial?The excerpt from his book is here:

Doesn't really shed much light on it, except it was a one-day commercial shoot. Doesn't say he was asking to be excused from practice, does suggest that once he said no to the one-day opportunity it was gone forever.
I still think this doesn't really add up for any number of reasons, but who the hell knows.
I completely believe that even if it didn't involve him being absent from practice that, if asked, BB might have told him that he would appreciate it if Tebow didn't do the commercial. But I find it odd that whoever wanted Tebow for a one-day commercial and was willing to pay him a million dollars to do it wasn't still interested once he got cut.
Look, if the Nigerian Prince didn't get a place to send the money that day, he was going to get robbed of it. If Tim Tebow were such a good christian, he'd help a guy in need like that!Doesn't really shed much light on it, except it was a one-day commercial shoot.

Your mom?You know who is sad that you are cranky?
I think you do.
My mom is far too bitter to be sad that someone is cranky. If anything it puts a little skip into her step.
