And once again, it's not personal with Tebow. It's just I don't get this fascination, fanatical obsession and never ending coverage of what amounts to be a fringe NFL player, a 53rd man on a roster, a man without a position, a QB with a 47.9 completion percentage.

Regarding the fascination? I understand your point to an extent, however, isn't that an indictment on sports to question why fans have fanaticism? Certain players, for whatever reason, get face time on the media or have circumstances that get fans attention.....then they get a following. There is no logic to it, it's an emotionally based thing. Why condemn/frown upon it? Hell if it wasn't for the fanaticism, we should all be off furthering our acuity on philosophy, science, our chosen professions in lieu of the time we take to follow the Patriots.
As far as your "if I was a member of that group but said that I wasn't, would that make it true" comment. That is a seriously bad statement. An unsubstantiated rumor now falls upon the subject of the rumor to not only deny it but prove the negative. It isn't for others to prove X, it is on you to prove it is not X. Wow. You just empowered every half wit with a keyboard and internet connection (not directed at you), every tabloid magazine, every dolt at F-ESPN....anything they can make up now falls upon the subject of the lie/unsubstantiated claim to prove it is not true. That's a truly awful way for the world to work....
