Tim Tebow Continues To 'Surprise' Fans

I know Tim Tebow is fantastic and everyone loves him, yada yada yada, but it does seem that Captain America has a small problem with sharing the spotlight.

At the football rally after the Gators won the National Championship, Tebow made the hilarious annoucement that he'd come back for one more year, walking off the stage with microphone in hand before zinging the crowd. Gotcha!

Now, at a Gators basketball game on Saturday night, Tebow got everyone again, taking off his sling as he announced his non-throwing arm would be ready for next season. It's January, just in case you forgot.

Tebow, the 2007 Heisman Trophy winner, ripped off his sling at the end of a brief speech at halftime of the Arkansas-Florida basketball game in an effort to assure Gators fans he would be fine following surgery on his non-throwing shoulder.

"Don't worry about this. I'll be fine," Tebow said as he pulled off the sling.

I have no idea why this bothers me but it does. For some reason the whole Tebow Phenomenon never stuck with me, and these are the things that keep my dislike churning. He isn't a bad kid, he's a good collegiate football player and he seems to want to help more than most athletes combined.

It is announcing things like this, in the fashion he went about doing so, that kills me. I guarantee Myron Rolle wouldn't do anything like this. Maybe he just enjoys stepping aside so others can get theirs, or maybe the guy is just too busy studying.
