Tim Tebow

I was watching the Kentucky-Florida game yesterday.  I had thought that the game might be closer than it ended up being....  


I saw the hit and saw Tim Tebow go down.  I gasped when he didn't get up.  I then saw the replay, and I understood why he didn't get up.  I was so worried, even when he got up (with help) and went off the field.  At first, I thought it was a side-effect of already being ill.  Then I saw one of the trainers snapping his fingers next to Tebow's ear.  I had that happen in 1988 when I was in a car accident.  The EMT did the same to me.  It's a (not all that bright) sensory test for concussion.


With that criticism aside, I'm a little tired of seeing what I am seeing.  Everywhere I look, I am seeing the middle (where I sit, sad to see a good player injured) and then the people who hate Tim Tebow and the people who love him to the point of deification.  I am sorry to have seen the hit.  I'm sorry to see the people who hate a good kid who plays the game right.  I am also sorry to see the people who think he's at the table next to God.  


I feel for Tim Tebow's family.  I hope he'll be well.  And if you're a college football fan, you're rooting for him to be well in the next two weeks against Les Miles LSU team.
