Why bother? He's gonna flame out, and it will be worthless in a few years.

I agree. If he doesn't flame out, somebody is going to lay a vicious hit on him and end his career.

I have no axe to grind, but his style of play is going to open him up to injury. That and he is borderline average to above average to begin with.

If only Taylor Windham played for the Bengals.

Re: Two Cincinnati media members booted from Broncos locker room (Tebow autograph)

why is it when it comes to autographs money is the first thing that comes to mind? the dudes probably are a fan of his, and wanted his autograph big deal, if that constitutes throwing someone out that is just stupid

Re: Two Cincinnati media members booted from Broncos locker room (Tebow autograph)

This is an extension of the old saying about "no cheering in the press box." If a guy has a media credential, he's supposed to be doing his job when he's in the locker room, and being a fanboy isn't part of the job description.

Not saying that media members never get autographs for their kids or anything, but there's a time and a place.

Re: Two Cincinnati media members booted from Broncos locker room (Tebow autograph)

Very unprofessional. They deserved to be booted, IMHO.

You know as a media member you are not supposed to do that.

(On a side note, I question why they would want Tebow's autograph. Most seriously overhyped and overrated professional athlete ever)

Re: Two Cincinnati media members booted from Broncos locker room (Tebow autograph)

Amazing Tebow gets so much hate on this board.

Wonder what his record is versus the teams of those who have had something negative to type about him? So he whipped your team up and down the field in the SEC or in a big bowl game... learn from Saint Tebow... Don't hold grudges.

I hope Tebow proves everyone wrong and has a great career.

If you think he's going to play the same style in the NFL that he played at UF you're crazy.

McDaniels is no dummy. He'll do everything within his power to put Tim in situations where he can succeed.

No I'm just messing around. I think its pretty obvious Ken Broo wouldnt do that considering the times I've heard him on the Tebow topic.

Maybe, but his place in sports history is pretty secure without ever playing an NFL down.

So you want the Bengals to be in the midst of being blown off the field, Tebow to take a hit, and for him to come back and have a great year without missing any games?

Okie dokie.

Honestly though, you cheered on this here board when he got hurt and now hoping for it to happen again, sounds like an ax grinding session to me.

Re: Two Cincinnati media members booted from Broncos locker room (Tebow autograph)

Josh Katzowitz chimes in...

Quote:
I’ve been sent messages and Tweets and e-mails all day. Were you the guy asking for Tim Tebow’s autograph? Were you the fool, the idiot, the embarrassment to journalism, the clown shoes who would do something so unethical and gag reflex-inducing? These notes came with sides of sarcasm, because Sunday night’s incident is so disgusting from a journalistic ethics point of view that it’s almost hilarious...

Re: Two Cincinnati media members booted from Broncos locker room (Tebow autograph)

That pretty much sums up the Cincinnati media in a nutshell.

But getting an autograph from the future Governor of Florida probably will hold some value some day.
