I woke up this morning to a wonderful story regarding my least favorite quarterback this side of Brett Favre, Tim Tebow. In the story, an unnamed source alleged that during the Wonderlic Exam at the NFL Combine Tebow asked if the group of fellow players taking the test could bow their heads for a group prayer. Immediately after Tebow made the request, someone from the back shouted "SHUT THE F*CK UP!", and the entire room erupted in laughter. Obviously I find this story amusing as it's the first reported incident that Tebow's in-your-face Christianity was met with the appropriate response.
Apparently Tebow took exception to this story floating around and in an effort that can only be described as something a control freak would do, he called Profootballtalk.com founder Mike Florio and denied the incident ever took place. Tebow certainly left a favorable impression on Florio upon speaking with him, to the point where Florio decided to double check the story with his source. Thankfully, the source still stands by his story that it happened. The Beard still believes it happened as well for the following reasons. First of all, the most obvious to me is "The lady doth protest too much, methinks." Second of all, Tebow definitely strikes me as the type who's naive enough to think he can control the media. Third, Tebow is taking a page out of the Roger Clemens book of "If I say it's a lie, then it's a lie". Does that make Clemens any more believable? Nope.
Tebow shouldn't be more believable either.
