I thought Skip's "No ring" comment was a low blow. But Skip did apologize the day after.
Be that as it may, it's all must-watch television. ESPN's First Take, from what I understand, has drawn huge ratings because of Skip, Steven A. Smith and Tim Tebow. They're now devoting much of their programming to Tim Tebow.
I like Tim Tebow. And I watch, especially when they talk about him. But it is getting to be a bit overkill.
And what I fear is that those who genuinely like Tebow are growing to dislike him because of the ultra hype surrounding him and the irrationality of fans who support him.
Again, I support Tebow. But I understand those who criticize his game, particularly for the first three quarters. I don't expect those who spend their lives analyzing games to embrace the "intangibles" because you can't measure intangibles.
But even if you can't measure them, you have to at least acknowledge them.
