y'alls wives were all giddy with 'throupling' - polyamorous and all that.

my wife would have reduced it from 'throupling' to ... "diddy, do the terms 'third wheel', 'too many chefs in my kitchen' or 'one too many cars in my garage' mean anything to you?
I think throuple has that bisexual angle of any two of the three potentially banging on any particular night.

Tebow will ruin you.

I don't actually think Tebow's girlfriend is particularly attractive--I just don't dig that look supermodel tall twig fakes boobs and lots of makeup look--but if I were you and I were looking for throuple action, I'd go for his wife.

Elway still with a severe case of penis envy.....
Hard to do, considering he owns two Super Bowl rings. And there was no way Tim was going to beat out
Payton for the starting job. Still, I have always thought Elway was disingenuous with Tebow, smiling, patting Tim on the head, making nice after the playoff win, and plotting on a way to ship Tim off to some other team.

"GREAT GAME, TIM! BUT I HAVE TO RUN. GOT A MEETING WITH PAYTON IN 5 MINUTES.
AND, JUST HAVE YOUR LOCKER CLEANED OUT BY THE END OF THE DAY."

FWIW, I've never liked the horsefaced boy from Denver. He's always been a POS.

It's always funny as hell to remember his college career ended on "The Play" when Cal lateraled Stanford right out of bowl eligibility that season.
I never cared for Elway much either and thought I had a pretty good idea what he was all about until I became friends with a former longtime teammate of Elway's. This guy swore that Elway was actually a great guy. When I expressed skepticism, he told story after story of Elway helping people out. So maybe he's not a bad guy after all, but I still don't like him very much.

I think this is unfair.

I don't know, maybe I am naive. When I read those comments about Timmy, my next thought was the awards ceremony where he escorted the disabled girl - walked her down the red carpet.... I am not ashamed to say that brought more than a tear to my eye. So I read those comments from Elway and immediately wondered if that was somehow staged or if they paid a fee for that.

Don't get me wrong - I think Tebow is a very good human being and a role model - or as close to one as we can expect in this day and age. Clearly, he walks the "Walk" more than me and most other Christians (I blew off my last two trips to the Philippines to do circumcisions - just didn't feel like it and my favorite circumcision scalpel, which is known throughout Asia as "The Dick Shredder", needed sharpening.).

But I stick by my comment. Picturing Timmy negotiating fees for his good works, even if he donates the proceeds to good causes, takes a bit of the shine off his halo. It never even occurred to me he would do that. Naive, perhaps, but...

And the whole incident makes Elway look like a petty, vindictive douchebag. Eff him.

It seemed as though Tebow represented a very real threat to Elways status as the beloved poster child for the face of Bronco football. When you’re not even a starter and your jersey sales are light years ahead of your starters and the iconic Elway himself, then people notice. Then he really upset the apple cart by winning with a previously losing team. Elway is a cheap car salesman with egotistical fragility issues. Tim, and the huge following he had despite playing time and “success”, was potentially the new replacement for Elway as the face of the Broncos.

Not a popular opinion, but I prefer Danny's quiet, go about your business approach to his calling. Seems like it's more about those in need. With Tebow, it always seems like it's about him instead. I'm sure Tebow has done a ton of good, but it certainly doesn't appear to have the sacrifice, humility, or genuineness of Wuerffel's work.

What? Surely you're not trying to say Tim didn't display humbleness at all times?

Each of them have a gift to reach people. Not everyone responds to the same personality. They each are highly effective in spreading the Word in their own way.

Danny never had anything close to the level of celebrity status outside of Gator Nation that Timmy has. Both do great things, but Timmy was practically shoved into the spotlight.

He also has started multiple efforts in ministry that requires funding to survive. Once his spotlight fades, so will his fundraising and he probably knows that.

Everyone is susceptible to greed, but until there’s a headline that involves misuse of funds or fraud, I’m not gonna assume the worst about someone who has a reputation of being every bit as genuine off the camera as he is on.

God bless Timmy and his ministries and I pray he doesn’t lose sight of his purpose or integrity.

There is a difference in Danny and Tebow is the social media age. When Danny was in Gainesville he couldn't stay at one church for over a month without moving because everyone would move to that church. I wonder what Danny would be like in the social media age. There is a huge jump in technology/media between Danny and Tim. I don't know if Danny personality would deal with the social media explosion, like Tim a truly likable dude but a more reserved dude (at least in my interactions). Just look how the media with recruiting exploded from 92 to 02, Tebow was a rock star upon getting on campus. Danny was just Danny until that UK game.

You nailed it. Different periods create different people. That said, I do agree to an extent with @alcoholica. Even something as simple as the Lsu/cell number thing or the minor taunting of the OU defensive back. To be clear, I had no issue with either of these things, especially the phone number thing. But Wuerffel took beatings at the hands of several teams, notably Arkansas, Nebraska and the noles several times, and literally never retaliated or appeared to do anything in revenge. Spurrier even mentioned this in his Old Testatment/New Testament comment. When I think of DW, the images that comes to mind are his hands-together after a TD, and him jumping up with his teammates after the TD run in the NC game. Maybe the most humble great player I've ever seen. Not knocking Tim in any way, and do agree that social media plays a part. But where Tebow could be somewhat off-putting to outside fans, I bet you couldn't find a single person who didn't love DW(Fulmer maybe the exception). You couldn't help it. There wasn't a hint that anything was less than 100% genuine.

What's ironic is that saying something negative about Tebow was likely a ploy to increase book sales. I never would have known that he had written a book if it weren't for his Tebow comments.

Wow. I had no idea we had so many licensed psychiatrists on the Chatter. :rolleyes3:

We can all agree that from afar, Elway does look like a bit of a doucher. I'd argue this perception existed before this kerfuffle with Timmy.

It seemed as though Tebow represented a very real threat to Elways status as the beloved poster child for the face of Bronco football.

This, to me, is just silly. Douchebag or not, after Brady (and maybe Montana and possibly Bradshaw), Elway is in the conversation as one of the greatest QBs of all-time. With his arm strength and athletic ability (at least before his knees began to break down), he did it all and in ways it hadn't been done before. Imagine the stats he'd put up against today's neutered defenses. He carried teams on his back virtually by himself to lose Super Bowls early in his career, then finally won a couple when he had a running game as his career was ending. And, unlike pretty much every other big-time jock, he had the classy sense of timing to go out on top. He is Mr. Bronco much in the same way the HBC is Mr. Gator.

Your statement would make sense if Elway dumped Tebow and then Timmy went on to light it up elsewhere. But let's face it: Though it is sacrilege to say here and elsewhere in the Gator Nation, Timmy never caught on anywhere else for a reason: His game just doesn't translate well to today's NFL. 50-60 years ago, in the era of Fran Tarkenton, Joe Kapp and Johnny U., Timmy would have been MVP, maybe a couple of times. But not in today's game. And I agree that his outspoken Christianity probably doesn't help him in today's woke NFL, but let's face it. If any of the 32 teams thought they could win a championship with Charles Manson as their QB, the fans would be singing Helter Skelter in the stands. Wokeness likely goes only so far.

What's ironic is that saying something negative about Tebow was likely a ploy to increase book sales. I never would have known that he had written a book if it weren't for his Tebow comments.

A logical statement about this silliness.
