You don't think it's ridiculous to say Tebow is as popular as Kobe and LeBron?

Tebow's popularity is directly connected to ESPN ... and Skip Bayless.
this is EXACTLY wat i was thinking when he said that. "Tebowmania" is a First Take/ESPN creation. it has absolutely nothing to do with him being a great player

everyone knows tebow because you can't turn on ESPN with them talking about him


he owes his entire career to that network, getting millions in endorsements being a bum. I don't hate dude, if I was him I'd milk that shyt too

Derek Jeter: Maybe test Skip

CHICAGO -- Derek Jeter today laughed off insinuations by Skip Bayless of ESPN's "First Take" that his excellent 2012 season has been the result of performance-enhancing drug use.

Speaking on "First Take" on Wednesday morning, Bayless said, "I am shocked by what I'm seeing from DJ right now. They all said he was washed up. All of a sudden, this man has turned 38 years of age in June and already he has more hits than he had last year. ... I'm seeing a whole new guy this year from last year . . . Are you kidding me? You would have to have your head in the sand or your head somewhere else not to at least wonder, 'How is he doing this?' "

When Bayless' remarks were presented to Jeter in the clubhouse before Wednesday night's game against the Chicago White Sox at U.S. Cellular Field, the Yankees' captain smiled and spread his arms in bemusement.

"What do you want me to say?" he said. "Maybe Skip should be tested. I don't know him, but I dare that coward to say it to my face "

Jeter entered Wednesday night third in the American Leading in batting average (.324) and leads the majors with 168 hits. Through 123 games, the shortstop already has twice as many home runs (12) as he did last year.

Bayless engaged in a heated debate in which he quoted BALCO founder Victor Conte as saying synthetic testosterone use is "rampant" in the majors today. He then asked, "If you are Derek Jeter, would you think about using HGH right now?," Bayless backed off accusing him of any wrongdoing.

"I am not saying he uses a thing," Bayless said. "I have no idea. But within the confines of his sport, it is fair for all of us, in fact you are remiss, if you don't at least think about this."

Jeter said he hadn't viewed "First Take," nor had he heard ablout Bayless' statements.

"That's the unfortunate thing these days," he said. "Anytime you bring this to light with guys that are doing things now, you have everybody questioning everything. You can say whatever you want to say these days. No repercussions. Not with me though, because the ESPN studio is real easy to find so if Skip thinks I won't meet him in the parking lot and make an example of him..."

Asked if he was insulted -- or flattered -- by the suggestion he might be using HGH, Jeter raised his arms to display his lanky 6-foot-3, 195-pound physique.

"You tell me," he said.

nah Tebow was a god at florida.. cfb media in general sucked his dikk not just espn..espn just taking it to a new level as a pro

Add nfl is so much more popular then the nba in this country and the statement of tebow being more popular is pretty accurate
