"Tebowcam" A Bit Much

During the Fox Sports telecast of the Allstate Sugar Bowl between Florida and Cincinnati, the broadcasters were telling the fans that they could follow Florida QB Tim Tebow's every move on foxsports.com. I know the guy is a great player. He's arguably one of the best ever in the history of College Football. He set a Sugar Bowl record for by gaining at least 500 yards of total offense (passing and rushing). He did complete 31-35 passes for 482 yards and three touchdowns to lead Florida to a "Sugar Blowout " of #3 ranked Cincinnati, But come on! Tebowcam? Isn't that a bit much?

The media is in love with Tim Tebow, and with good reason. He's a great guy who has done so much good for many people: his ministry work at his parents' orphanage in the Philippines, what he 's done off the field at Florida. He's a been a great ambassador for College Football. But let's not worship the guy. He himself does not want that. He would rather people worship his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Tebow has been elevated to "god-like" status. I don't think even he is comfortable with fans watching his every move on the field or on the side lines with Tebowcam. If we are going to have Tebowcam, why not have Ingramcam, McCoycam or Sucam (Mr. Su, Defensive Lineman from Nebraska). RB Mark Ingram of Alabama won this year's Heisman and Mr. Su was not far behind in the voting. Let's not get carried away over the success of one player. It's a bit silly, and I don't think Tebow is comfortable with that anyway. Those are my thoughts and I welcome yours.
