07.10.08 HEY LOOK IT’S TIM TEBOW WITH A BABY!
Yesterday I gave an interview to a reporter from the Washington Post. It was ostensibly about how technology is changing the way athletes are perceived, but it really ended up just being another round of questioning along the lines of "Why are blogs so mean to these poor athletes?"
Needless to say, I could have been more tactful. I was pretty aggressive about making it clear that I'm not a journalist (which ISN'T a bad thing), and I think at one point I mock-sobbed because millionaire athletes have it so rough, what with people saying mean things that hurt their feelings. I'm not really sure. I kinda blacked out.
One of the questions asked was, "What are your standards for moving forward with a story?" And here's your answer: I publish things that I think readers will find interesting or humorous. If I think something's bullshit, I say that I think it's bullshit. If I can't confirm it, I say that I can't confirm it. And if it's a waste of time, I don't publish it.
Take this photo, for example. I don't really know the full story here, but it's devout Christian and Heisman-winning quarterback Tim Tebow, just moments before he SPIKED THE BABY INTO THE CONCRETE! OH THE HUMANITY! YOU MONSTER YOU MONSTER!!!

Hey Mom! Go Deep!
Before or After Castration?
I mean circumcision. Castration is what the judge told me.
White people do the craziest things.
His Un-popped collar confuses and frightens me.
Michigan 41, Florida 35.
That's what happens when you give the Heisman to an Underclassmen
Ufford: "Oh hi, WaPo! I'm sitting here with this nerd named Tunison. You guys remember him?"
It's the Florida colors on the crocs that will get him a life sentence.
Nice Crocs, Douche Bag. I think he forgot to wear his signature Florida gold chain and diamond studs too.
Uff, were you able to accommodate the reporter in your mother's basement?
There are way too many old guys smiling in the background.
Where's his girlfriend to breast feed that young'n?
emmitt smith approves.
I'm not sure what's gayer. Tebow's Croc's or the guy on the left wearing the fannypack. A tossup?
Can we get 289 to mash this up with the runnning of the bulls jpegs?
Typical selfish athlete; laughing and posing for pictures while a fumbled football is right at his feet. Prima donnas.
Crazy thing is, he spiked the baby after this picture was taken.
After noticing Glen Dorsey across the park, Tim shouts "Sack me and the baby goes down bitch."
Babies piss the shit out of me

Great build up to the end there.
Tebow has some big hands. He's palming a baby.
All of his jort must’ve been dirty, but at least he is sportin’ his signature Crocs. Stylin’!
