Of course...what else would everyone else have to bicker about? Politics...Hernandez...real football discussions? Not enough...we needed decention...might as well argue about a nice guy who wants to try out for the team.
"decention"?????...is that more Sports Blob Brandinese?

Ummmm...no...apparently a lame attempt at humor...thought thread needed a little levity...I'll go back to lurking
no no no...get back in there and swing!..there is NOTHING better than a meaningless message board firestorm to get the blood pumping...:fencing:
yes...the truth is ...it's just a Tebow Universe and we are merely the space dust between intertebowstellar galaxies...or not
oh jeezus...don't start...c'mon...the server for this site only has 500 teraflops of dedicated hard drive space...you wanna crash the whole board or sumpthin?
I had faith CJ could contribute something, after all he had a history of doing it in the past. The other guy.. well.. not so much.It is certainly no worse than having Ocho on the team.
I turned on Alternate Universe TV to get the replay of the Pats/Eagles game...here's the transmissions so far from Planet Moronical....
They Booed Santa Claus But Cheered for Tebow
Post by Backup QB Today at 10:36 am
Did anyone else catch how the crowd in Philly went nuts when Tebow went on the field? I was shocked because even the most respectful fanbase is going to boo an opposing player... especially a popular one.
But Philly? The city and fans who booed Santa Claus cheered for Tebow? I couldn't believe it.

Yeah, you can have the tv volume turned up, be in another room, but still know when Tebow comes in the game. The crowd just comes alive.

Yep, we were talking about that too.
No batteries, no booing just cheers.

heh...yeah...uh...right....nothing happened at all all game and the crowd was comatose and then...
It's CHOSEN TIME!!!!!
cacophonous celebration ensues....exactly what I saw too...and then the doctor shot me up with a sedative and explained I had just overdosed on 100,00 micrograms of pure LSD...
That's the way it usually works.
"When I went to Gainesville Monday to work him out,'' McDaniels said, referring to his hush-hush trip to spend the day with Tebow, "we spent about seven hours together. We went over a lot of things. Now, understand that our offense is pretty complicated, and the terminology and the scheme is totally different from what he did at Florida. But about midway through my time there, we're going through plays, and he starts using our terminology. He's so smart about football that he was able to begin to speak my language and talk apples to apples. He'd already translated what he knew of our scheme into my words. That's something that carried a lot of weight with me.''
I have never been around a guy that worked at football harder than he did. He was up in our offices every day. He knew that offense inside and out and he knew defenses and he knew coverages. So — I mean, again — you hear a lot of stuff. I’m not here to comment on being an expert on all the intricacies of a certain offense or quarterback mechanics. But does he know football? Without a doubt. Does he know defenses? Without a doubt. Does he study and work harder than anybody I have ever been around? Without a doubt. You’ve got great work ethic, great passion for the game, great physical skills, tremendous leadership capability and highly, highly, highly competitive. Somehow I’m guessing you can find a way to make that work. Unless I don’t know football anymore.”
We sat in a meeting room before the Senior Bowl, and the first thing I found out was that he was extremely knowledgeable football-wise,” Trestman says. “He has an ability to talk football at a high level in terms of protections, pass routes, adjustments and concepts – basically all the things an NFL quarterback has to be able to talk about. It was easy for him to go to the [chalk]board and communicate with me on what I would call a ‘pro’ level.
I think we're setting aside (1) the fact that the calendar's changed from Julian to Gregorian, and (2) the fact that the basis of the arbitrary system actually probably happened at a time other than the year 1.

I think we're setting aside (1) the fact that the calendar's changed from Julian to Gregorian, and (2) the fact that the basis of the arbitrary system actually probably happened at a time other than the year 1.
The guts of the argument seem to be that we have a system of integers that has no 0 to it. You were in the year 1, or the year -1 (that is, 1 CE or 1 BCE.)
So, setting the birth of Jesus to be in the first year of the common era, when Jesus is 1 year old, it's the year 2. When Jesus is 2 years old, it's the year 3. And so on.
Were Jesus to live to be 100, it would be the year 101 on his 100th birthday.
Said another way, the first century (100 years) would be over in the year 101, not the year 100. Similarly with the second, third, fourth, and fifth centuries. Without killing too many pixel-trees by listing them all, one could conclude that the twentieth 100 years, or the twentieth century, would end in 2001.
On the other side of the debate would be another convention, based not on adding units of 100 years, but on knocking a couple of zeroes off the date and adding 1. So the year 99 has no zeroes to knock off, so the value of the century is 0 -- then you add 1, to yield "first century." In the year 100, you knock off the zeroes for a value of 1, then add the obligatory 1, and get 2 -- putting the year 100 in the second century (like the year 101, 102, etc.)
At the end of 1999, therefore, we partied like it was 1999, rather than waiting 1 more year and partying like it was 2000.
This comes down to a purist vs. conventionalist approach to the counting of centuries. It's very difficult, to me, to call either of them "wrong." I suppose we're doomed to define our terms whenever we talk about centuries, if we want to use a definition other than that which is commonly accepted.
I think the common convention is to say that in the 2000 election, American voters chose George W. Bush as the first president elected in the twenty-first century, although good arguments can be made that both terms of this assertion are demonstrably false.
Fun Fact: Belichick is Pro-Tebow.
