And being old baseball player, it's pretty disrespectful of guys that have spend years riding buses and staying ****t8y hotels trying to find their way.
Until then, I can't get behind this vitriol. It reeks of sour grapes. "He's popular, people paid attention to his tryout but they didn't pay attention to mine!"
I know plenty of guys who have and are fighting it out in the minor leagues. They wouldn't think twice about taking the opportunity to have an open workout with 28 teams and have the media show up to it. Likewise, if they could get a look for an NFL quarterback position, they would take it, as well. And if a team picked them up, they'd take it and they'd try to make it as a quarterback.
Tebow did what we all would do, and its an unfair, no-win proposition for looking down upon him for this.
We'll see just how committed he is.
I'm old enough that I don't have sour grapes. I came to grips with my lack of ability a long time ago. What I do tend to value in people of all walks is folks that are genuine. At the risk of again derailing the thread, that's been my issue with Tebow for quite some time.
