This is all we need: Tebow for Congress

[Fritz Walter]

After a ignominiously failed professional football career, Tim Tebow is now being groomed by Faux Noose as a potential politician. And rather than suggesting that he run for a local school board or city council position (baby steps), the bubble-headed, gushing cable-TV personality suggests that he actually run for Congress.

Yeah, he is something of a local celebrity -- making the rubber chicken circuit, visiting and promising to pray for sick children, and otherwise trying to find something useful to do with his life. But suggesting that he run for a seat in Congress?!? Are you fucking kidding me?

Can't you just see him at the Capitol, with biblical links inscribed under his eyes? Making the Tebow kneel when a favorite piece of legislation passes?

Has he truly exhausted all the other options for washed-up jocks, such as teaching/coaching at the high school or even college level, adding his commentary to sports coverage on local TV/radio stations. selling insurance, real estate or used cars?

Beam me up, Scotty. There's no intelligent life on this planet!

1. Another Steve Largent

Not what we need

[awoke_in_2003]

15. Largent at least had talent

Tebow doesn't even have that

[rpannier]

24. Don't know about that. He has great game

Gaming the sports world for every dollar he can get
He's not the equivalent of Sarah Palin -- yet

[awoke_in_2003]

37. Tebow was a college talent

Running QBs last less time in the NFL than decent receivers

[JustAnotherGen]

2. This is the praying football player right? N/t

[Brother Buzz]

5. During his college football days he painted Bible verses on his eye black.

Fortunately, the NFL put the kibosh on that crap.

[dhill926]

3. this holier than thou fuckstick...

nauseates me...

[3catwoman3]

25. Your pithy commentary...

...is giving me a good belly laugh. I hope you feel better soon.

[MadDAsHell]

32. If Tebow is a "fuckstick," do enlighten us with who your heroes are.

And what made him more of a fuckstick, his establishment of and continued heavy involvement in a charity dedicated to enriching the lives of children with special needs, or his overseas philanthropy work during college summers when his teammates were out partying?

This guy is clearly a total loser because he didn't perform well enough for your fantasy football team.

Geez, this kinda shit makes us look ignorant as hell.

[Wilms]

4. Right now I'm on my BOTH knees praying that don't happen. n/t

[NCjack]

6. Damn -- Why doesn't go to the CFL? Please resuscitate the NFL Europe and send him there.

Anywhere but Washington, DC. On second thought, if he became a Republican congressman, he probably would barely be the worst of the lot.

[Thespian2]

9. Please don't send him here to the CFL...

and you are correct...Texas has already given us Louie Gohmert...the dumbest politician in the world...

[aggiesal]

18. Duncan Hunter Jr. from San Diego was rated ...

the dumbest congressman.

[swilton]

7. They need a head coach at the University of Oklahoma

[SCantiGOP]

8. Trump's VP ??

[Marie Marie]

10. No, Cruz's VP. Better fit.

[awoke_in_2003]

16. Not old enough. nt

[nadinbrzezinski]

11. Well Louie Gohmer might lose

so we need to replace the entertaining

[xocet]

23. Say it isn't so...

[JohnnyRingo]

12. As long as he professes his love of Jesus....

... he's already as qualified as the best Republican Congressman.

What else would he have to do besides hold the Constitution in one hand and the Bible in the other?

[Jack Rabbit]

17. So, who is the best Republican Congressman?

(Multiple choice)
[ol type="A"]

Paul Ryan

Louie Gohmert

[JohnnyRingo]

39. Hahaha

Ya got me.

Easier to ID the most amusing one. Gohmert is a YouTube star.

[NBachers]

13. Isn't there some tire store franchise available somewhere?

[SoapBox]

14. Ugh....the Tbone...

[SheenaR]

19. Known fact in the gossip world

His people paid Miss America to date him. She wasn't playing by the rules so they slut-shamed her and said she was pressuring him too much for sex (he is an alleged virgin) and she got the ax.

This guy would fit right in with the Cruz faction

[Ilsa]

20. I think he'd behave better than most Republicans in Congress.

Therefore, I doubt they'll let him win, at least not until he gets a wife.

Besides, I'd rather he stay with ESPN. I enjoyed his football commentary.

[Hulk]

21. Not at all surprised

The guy is a tool. A stooge for the bible-thumping religious reich. A boyish grin, am empty head, and an instant fan club to adore his religion on his sleeve for the rest of us to suffer through.

This is the same insane crowd that brought us white trash sarah.

[MadDAsHell]

22. Yeah, guy's a real asshole and wouldn't know a thing about serving people.

"Tebow envisioned a foundation to give back to others during his college career, and he, along with other University of Florida students, created "First and 15", raising funds for Uncle Dick's Orphanage[173] [clarification needed] in the Philippines, founded by his father's nonprofit association, the Bob Tebow Evangelistic Association.[174] He also raised money for Shands Hospital pediatric cancer center in Gainesville and a Disney trip for disadvantaged children. Upon graduation from University of Florida, Tebow launched the Tim Tebow Foundation in January 2010."

"CURE and the Tebow Foundation announced plans to build a children's hospital in the fall of 2011 in the Philippines, the country where Tebow was born. The Tebow CURE Hospital in Davao City, on the island of Mindanao, will hold 30 beds and will specialize in orthopedics. CURE's 12th hospital worldwide, they hope to heal deformities such as clubfoot, untreated burns, hydrocephalus and other conditions correctable with surgery. The cost of the project, $3 million, will come from donations from CURE and the Tebow Foundation. The hospital will include a "Timmy's Playroom"."

[fbc]

28. He's also working as an analyst for the SEC Network

That may not be as noteworthy as the things you mentioned, but it's not like he's doing nothing.

Tebow was not good enough to be an NFL quarterback which puts him with around 99.9% of the world's population. It's not his fault that so many of his fans couldn't accept this. By all accounts he is a good person and he doesn't really deserve the hatred that gets directed towards him.

[MadDAsHell]

33. It's DU; if you're even SUSPECTED of supporting the wrong party, you're Satan incarnate. nt

[alittlelark]

26. Idiocracy is a documentary from the future....

...sent to warn us.

[yortsed snacilbuper]

27. Tebow wouldn't make a pimple on an Athiest's a$$!

[Press Virginia]

29. He actually walks the walk

Unlike most Christians he actually does things to help people.
In college he was working in clinics in the Philippines and Africa. His foundation works with orphans and sick kids.

And, unlike another well known foundation, run by a former president, 100% of the charitable donations go to the various causes. OH costs are covered by gifts, specifically given for these costs.

[3catwoman3]

30. I'm going to take a wild-assed guess...

...that he never painted this verse from Matthew under his eyes:

5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

[Kaleva]

31. If he runs in a conservative district, he'll probably easily win.

[Fuddnik]

34. His family is from Floriduh.

We'll be stuck with him.

[yortsed snacilbuper]

35. As long as you submit, you should be okay?

sub·mit.

VERB

1.accept or yield to a superior force or to the authority or will of another person:

[fbc]

36. Well then at least he'll have DWS support for his republican candidacy.

[Arugula Latte]

38. Maybe he should ask his god if he should run. You know, the same god that was so busy

deciding football game outcomes it didn't have time to help starving babies or avert massive earthquakes or stop fatal diseases.

[Scuba]

40. If elected to Congress, Tim would pray for his constituents.

It's the least he can do.

[OldHippieChick]

41. I agree that he might make a halfway decent high school coach. But

he was told all growing up that he was going to become a pro football player and he was wildly popular in Florida. He had spent those millions before he was ever drafted. Now, to be a virtual nobody is not sitting well, not to mention the pedestrian salary he would get as a high school coach. At least Congress gets paid 6 figures and that's closer to his ballpark.

[Fritz Walter]

42. This just in: "Red Alert" is pushing him to take Ander Crenshaw's seat

http://www.news4jax.com/news/could-tim-tebow-run-for-congress

When Crenshaw announced his retirement, the local Democratic Party leaders said they're not even going to try to name a candidate for the general election in November, because the District is so "Gerrymandered."

Thanks for throwing in the towel before the fight even begins, Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
