Tim Tebow is leading a great life, including upcoming nuptials with a former Miss Universe, despite washing out of the NFL in 2015. The ex-quarterback is also the subject of perhaps the best mashup ever, an addicting video called “All He Does is Win” that received millions of views in its original upload and won a Webby for creator DJ Steve Porter. The clip is embedded below.

A Heisman Trophy winner, Tebow won two national championships with the University of Florida, and took a knee (“Tebowing” honored God rather than disrespecting the country or the flag) before it was cool.

The Denver Broncos drafted Tim Tebow in the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft, and he even won a playoff game for them despite ongoing and widespread industry skepticism that he could function as a professional signal caller.

With the arrival of Peyton Manning, the Broncos traded Tebow to the New York Jets, who generally left him to rot on the bench even though the Jets were going nowhere under their starting QB. Tebow was later released by the New England Patriots and the Philadelphia Eagles.

Tebow didn’t help his cause, however, by declining offers to play in the Canadian Football League, which would have enhanced his QB resume, or resisting efforts to switch to another NFL position. In addition to his TV commentary work, Tebow is currently pursuing a career in Major League Baseball in the New York Mets organization.

Tebow Time or Not

Skip Bayless, a sports pundit who everyone seems to hate, features prominently in “All He Does Is Win.”

Bayless described himself as a “Tebow Nut” in a lengthy 2012 essay on the ESPN website.

“I’m one of the very few commentators who have been objective about Tebow’s ability to win football games. I merely dared to say Tebow could be a successful starting quarterback in the National Football League — not a Pro Bowler, mind you, just a guy who could win games his way. Which prompted relentless attacks from anti-Tebow analysts and journalists….Tim Tebow the biggest lightning rod in sports, more loved and hated than even LeBron James was at that point. So much about Tim Tebow moves people toward extreme love or extreme dislike or disgust. It’s rarely what he says, just the mold-shattering, emotion-mixing way he wins and the Christianity he wears on both sleeves. He can be so impossibly bad/great. He can be so insufferably innocent.”

Stephen A. (a.k.a. Screamin’ A) Smith’s former First Take debate sparring partner, Bayless and several others in the mashup subsequently left ESPN for FS1.

Super Bowl 53

In a related NFL subject, most of America is probably rooting for the Los Angeles Rams to upset the New England Patriot’s in today’s Super Bowl. Football fans understandably have grown tired of the Pats making it into the big game by default almost every year given the lame AFC. The sports media, which has degenerated into a far-left echo chamber, would celebrate a Pats loss because of the friendship between President Trump and owner Robert Kraft, head coach Bill Belichick, and superstar QB Tom Brady.

The sports media still hasn’t recovered from its September 2015 nervous breakdown after they spotted a MAGA hat in Brady’s locker. Unlike LeBron James who campaigned for Hillary Clinton, or the Golden State Warriors, who repeatedly seek to curry — is it were — favor with Silicon Valley by bashing Trump and refusing to visit the White House, Brady himself has carefully remained apolitical.

Brady, who is gradually making a career switch from professional athlete to lifestyle and health guru and moving in celebrity circles, has distanced himself from the president, his golfing buddy, and even bailed on the White House ceremony after the last Patriots’ Super Bowl victory.

In his long career as a real-estate mogul and reality TV star, Trump — a former Democrat and independent — mingled with many celebrities, none of whom ever accused him of racism.

The Winner Goes to the White House, Maybe

Rams head coach Sean McVay was noncommital about whether the team would head to the White House if his team wins the Super Bowl. On the subject of White House visits, it was disappointing to learn that Boston Red Sox star Mookie Betts won’t be joining the team when Trump honors the World Series champions at the White House. It’s likely that someone in his orbit convinced the American League MVP that showing up would be bad for his brand.

Most of the team apparently still will meet with the president in an event tentatively scheduled for February 13. Manager Alex Cora has been equivocating, but Cora should seize the opportunity to discuss his concerns about the Puerto Rico hurricane relief effort with Trump. The president, a big sports fan, has proven that he is willing to sit down and discuss public policy issues even with those who disagree with him. The federal response should not be the only subject up for discussion, however. Questions have been raised about how allegedly corrupt local officials conducted themselves in the post-emergency conditions.
