Every time I read an article like this, I recall the quarterback who took over an 0-4 team, led them to the playoffs, beat the Steelers in the first round of the playoffs and was let go at the end of the season. I just don’t recall the public hue and cry for another team to sign Tebow...

In one year, Tebow single-handedly almost destroyed the NFL’s popular thug reputation - a reputation team owners and players had spent decades building - with his off-putting behavior on and off the field.

Many NFL players and fans became mad at Tebow and wanted him gone. Billionaire team owners were powerless to stand up to thug culture so an NFL quarterback with an above average number of wins was excised from the league.

Even today that sounds strange. But recent events have shown just how weak - pathetically weak - NFL owners are.

Are you kidding? It's still going on. (Technically, after he was let go, another team did sign him, and after they let him go, I believe two other teams signed him and cut him.)
