Did you hear that Obama doesn't want to invite Tebow to the White House to celebrate the National Championship?

Apparently, he doesn't want the media to have to worry about kissing two butts at the same time.

The media lovefest over Tebow is disgusting. Every sports commentator loves to point out how he must be the greatest human being to ever play sports.

I'm rooting for him to get his butt kicked in 2009, both because I hate the Gators, and I hate objects of media affection. He's like the college version of Brett Favre; overrated and over hyped.

I think the root of the reason that Tebow is hyped so much is that in a sea of Pacman Jones emulating athletes a decent kid like Tebow is such a difference that any comparison make him seem saintly.

Some of their love fest is fake and many would turn on him in a heart beat. I like Tim for his ethics, sacrifice and love for our brother Christ and God our father.

I have met several people like you who hate Tim mostly because he is a good kid and it shows them that people can succeed while not cheating, lying, screwing around, drinking, etc. He tweaks their own guilty conscience. However, I am not saying that is why you don't like him.

Hey, I’m a CANE! You ain’t gotta tell me about hating the Gutters!

The media finds him fascinating in a GOOD way now, but let his personal experience become a part of the political discussion, and Tebow will become a pariah.

Come on now....I’m not a Gator fan but you have to respect Tebow for the person he is and what he has accomplished.

You have my deepest sympathy. Your life must be sad to spend time hating someone like Tebow.

Yep! I agree! And I still like him, but the fawning is nuts. Kinda the way I feel about Tiger Woods. I started cheering for Tiger to lose a long time ago. The lick spittle from the media is GAGGING!

Tim Tebow is all the wonderful things the media and commentators say he is, in his football career, academics and his personal life. His faith and humility are genuine and inspiring. Most people who hate him, do so because he makes them realize how poorly they compare.

I realize in your case, it’s not hate, it’s envy.

Go Gators!

Wow, I haven't seen anything this ignorant and reeking of jealousy in a long, long time!

Over rated? He owns nearly ever passing record in Florida! His highschool team took state, his college team has two championships and he has a Heisman! He EARNED every bit of it!

I saw him play when he was in high school when I was rooting for my son's team to beat them. I too was as ignorant then as you are now. But that young man made a believer out of me.

How many players are better? How many athletes have more character?

Few if any. And that means he isn't over rated.
