I Hope This Is True

This story about my favorite draft prospect and yours, Timothy Q. Tebow IV, is passed on from the, uh, less than reliable Mike Florio at PFT. That said, sweet baby Jesus I hope it's true, because it's fucking hilarious.

At the Scouting Combine, the Wonderlic exam is administered to players in groups. The 12-minute test is preceded by some brief instructions and comments from the person administering the test.

Per a league source, after the person administering the test to Tebow's group had finished, Tebow made a request that the players bow their heads in prayer before taking the 50-question exam.

Said one of the other players in response: "Shut the f--k up." Others players in the room then laughed.

If this is true - and that's a big if - I have two points:

1. I want the Bills to take the guy who said "Shut the fuck up" with the #9 overall pick. I don't care if the guy was Jevan Snead, or Eric Decker, or some other similarly worthless asshole. That guy can play for my team any day.

2. Hopefully Tebow takes the hint that attempting to shove your religion down other people's throats is a bad idea, and stops doing shit like writing Bible verses on his eyeblack (not that the NFL would allow that anyway). For his own sake, if nobody else's. But the guy got an 880 on his SAT, so he ain't exactly the sharpest crayon in the box, and probably won't take the hint.

Still, I doubt the accuracy of this story, or that it will dissuade Tebow. Part of the reason Tebow may catch heat for his overt, in-your-face Christianity is that he hasn't accomplished dick in the NFL yet. If Tebow ever does accomplish something, he'll be able to say whatever the fuck he wants, and ain't nobody gon' stop him. Just look at Kurt Warner. That guy's on his knees more than Lindsay Lohan, but nobody cares because he's, like, awesome (or was, before he retired).

Once Tebow finds some success in the NFL - and, unfortunately, I think he will - he'll be able to go all God-squad on the heathens, and nobody will say shit about it, because he's good. At least as long as Tebow ignores that he's breaking Jesus' rules by working on Sunday and touching a pigskin. And, if you believe Jacory Harris, by being face-deep in Gainesville gash.
