tim tebow is addicted to fame tim tebow
cannot let it go
that's what this is he's the same guy
that he was in
denver he loves the attention he craves
the fame
he craves the limelight and here we are
again
i disagree with him you don't go to the
mets double a or single a facility start
baseball
ten years after you've even played
baseball didn't even play in college
if you want fame what he does is he
wants to compete he's addicted to
competition that's what he is
and the reason why he gets a shot a lot
of it is because he's just such a
positive force in the locker room and on
the field and with the fans
that's my view but what about clay
travis he's the founder of outkick
fox just bought it now so he's part of
the family and he's president there
uh clay welcome back hey i appreciate
uh and i agree with uh with what you
were just kind of laying out there i
think tim tebow's addicted to
competition
i think he is one of the fiercest
competitors there has been
and it's not a good take i think that
was uh shannon sharp on fs1 i understand
some people are making that argument i
disagree with it
uh i think if tim tebow was addicted to
fame
i mean he could have gone on and been
the bachelor you know he could have his
own reality television show
he is one of the most famous athletes of
his generation
in all honesty everything that has been
connected to his fame
has been connected to sports he hasn't
really started a tequila line you know
he hasn't
been somebody who's out there deciding
like i said to do a reality television
show or to cash in on his fame
uh if anything he has been uh completely
connected to the world of sports and
i think he wants to sort of squeeze
every last ounce of athletic ability
out of his uh out of his pursuit he went
to baseball right i mean he could have
if he just wanted attention he could
have held on he could have played in the
xfl at quarterback he could have done
any number of things that would have
made him a lot of money
i think he just wants to be able to
compete at the highest level i think
he's a unique talent
and he's a flash point because people
believe that he's artificial and fake
and they don't like a lot of what he
represents
so a lot of people are saying wow he
took a knee people didn't like that at
the time and then kaepernick took in he
got a lot of christmas for that
uh because he's extremely religious guy
i guess he's born again christian
and then kaepernick took a knee for a
different person didn't like the country
uh thinks uh police brutality is out of
control
uh and decided uh also a lot of people
think that kaepernick
took a knee or took to the bench during
the national anthem because he got
benched
he got benched before that game we'll
never quite find out
the question of race being brought into
this now why does kaepernick
who's an actual quarterback and there's
a need for quarterback in this league
never get another shot
and why does tebow who leaves to pole
play baseball
why does he get another shot do you see
race no
i don't i don't see race involved at all
i mean i understand why it's a flash
point there's a lot of people who
make money in sports dividing us based
on race but i think the simple reason is
almost everyone in the world of sports
gets to keep and have an opportunity to
continue to play
as long as their talent exceeds their
problems
tim tebow has no problems he's never had
an off-the-field related incident
there's never been an
advertiser or sponsor that said i'm not
going to watch the denver broncos or
whatever team that he's on
uh because of what he's doing in the
world of football
he's also by the way switching his
position tim tebow was not able to make
it as a quarterback because he was
mobile
and because the the defense is caught up
to what he did which is very similar to
colin kaepernick
you know kaepernick's problems exceed
his talents and oh by the way
kaepernick is no victim here he's made
far more money talking about how awful
america
is from nike and many of these other
woke corporations
than he ever would have made as a backup
quarterback in his 30s in the nfl so
uh this is not a race issue it's also
not a victimization issue
uh colin kaepernick's not a victim here
he's maybe making more money off saying
america is awful
than anyone in the history of the united
states which is
uh certainly in the world of athletics
he is and you know what clay uh he's
about to roll out a book self-published
uh which is uh something that's going to
talk about race in america
people think he's talking about a great
note you'll never be able to write that
book
yeah he also didn't write that book i
mean you know i always think it's funny
you know i i've written a few books i
know you have two the idea that colin
kaepernick sitting there in front of a
laptop like
you know adjusting or writing any words
at all would be
stunning to me i think what he's
probably doing is sitting with an author
talking out loud
they're taking his ideas putting it into
uh written form
and uh and frankly i welcome his ability
as a as anybody who can to be a part of
the first semester discussion of ideas
marketplace in this country
but i don't think colin kaepernick has
uh has aided the discussion
in any way in this country in fact i
think he's actually made it a lot
less safe for young kids in america
because
he's convinced them that the police are
the enemy and we're seeing murder rate
skyrocket everywhere
as a as a result of uh i believe a
primary reason
is that we're not letting police do
their job because of many of the
athletes that have been outspoken
yeah the obamas haven't helped at all
now they're talking about how racial
how they're concerned about their kids
when they go behind the car that we
don't know that the cops are going to
pull her over and and hurt sasha and
malia which is unbelievable they never
talked like that they were
in the white house plus they're
surrounded by secret service so it's not
even plausible
well also the data doesn't reflect that
that's likely to happen in any way to
any child right
i mean like the the there are tens of
millions
of interactions between police and
citizens every single day of all races
uh every single year i should say and
almost none of them end in a violent
encounter and guess when they do
end in violence it's when somebody
resists arrest what we should be saying
is hey comply
with police officers and there will be
far fewer uh
issues of violence in this country yeah
by the way he's going to a place in
with tim tebow is by the way where his
college coach was uh
he now coaches the jaguars that's why
urban meyer wants to give him a shot he
said try tight end evidently he had
two weeks of tryouts and looked
fantastic and they said we'll give him a
one-year deal see if he makes it
through training camp here's a listen of
a place you're traveling news and you
travel in sports circles still
so here's kimberly martin on espn
talking to various people
in the nfl about this tebow signing the
skeptics kim 50
54. it's a shock bewilderment and also
the best practice squad or
watch he might just retire before
training camp you know i've heard
coaches on
on the jaguars don't want tim tebow on
the roster nothing against tim but
it just is everything that comes with
tim
around the league people don't think
this is a big deal they see it more as
urban's chance to drum up interest and
sell tickets
down in jacksonville where clearly they
need to get
some interest in the squad think there's
some truth to that
well look i mean we're all in the
entertainment business i mean if they
told you that if you had a guest on you
would double revenue i bet you'd put
that guest on right and you're in the
radio business
i mean uh the jacksonville jaguars
historically have had major issues
selling tickets now they have
urban meyer who obviously is connected
to the florida gators they have probably
uh the most exciting quarterback
prospect in many years and trevor
lawrence now on the team
and look i started going to florida
georgia games uh years and years ago
when tim tebow was playing great
cocktail party they call it
down in jacksonville and the most
popular shirt when tebow played was a
jacksonville jaguar colored shirt that
said draft tebow
so yeah i think there are people who are
more likely to go watch the jacksonville
jaguars play
because tim tebow is on the team if he
makes the team that seems like a pretty
good business move to me i mean i hire
people because i think they'll help out
out kick
i'm sure uh that's kind of the essence
of business when it comes to hiring
talent you want to make money off your
talent i think that's likely with the
jags and tebow right
ultimately the thing about sports is
it's not who you know
it's what you can do you could be the
best guy your last name could be
lombardi
uh if you can't play you're not going to
you're not going to even make the team
and if tebow was so popular the mets
were to give him a shot they let him
play
in the minor leagues where he was a
great mentor to these guys like michael
jordan was
but there's no fame and glory in minor
league mets baseball in syracuse
believe me i've been there max keller
max kellerman who i know you know well
uh he weighed in on tebow cut 55. i do
think while he shouldn't apologize for
any kind of
opportunity he has because he's really
just getting a look right and he should
take advantage
i do think it comes with some
responsibility i will insist
that everyone is so privileged everyone
should be treated with the same kind of
respect and given this given latitude
to try to succeed and fail if they might
and get opportunity
and since tim tebow enjoys that in a
league that has
maybe illegally stonewalled
colin kaepernick they can't even give
him a look maybe tim tebow should
stand up and say you know what i'm
thankful for this opportunity there's
some people who don't have it and
mention kaepernick by name i would
certainly applaud that
why do you think kaepernick wants to
play anyway what do you think
no it's a stupid take look i mean max
kellerman is a woke idiot who works at
espn and makes uh well compensated to
say ridiculous things like that but look
the better analogy here is again going
back to my talent exceed the problem
antonio brown got re-signed a wide
receiver for the tampa bay ears
after being charged with rape uh desean
watson
22 different women have accused him of
sexual assault right now starting
quarterback for
the houston texans and he hasn't even
been released or put on
leave by the houston texans 22 different
women brian
and i haven't heard max kellerman or any
of the work idiots at espn
talking about the the privilege that
deshaun watson
is able to engage in that 22 different
women can't even cost him
uh any kind of significant consequences
for his job he's not suspended he's not
ineligible
uh there's nothing that has happened in
any way uh
and tim tebow out here uh trying to make
it as a tie-in to make a million dollars
a year at the age of 33
is somehow an offensive uh version of
the
of the nfl's unfairness i mean come on
this is just
i think an absurdly ridiculous take uh
well that's a good point on all your
analogies i'm very curious what's going
to happen with watson who demanded a
trade and then 22 women came 23
and now it's down to 22. women came
forward so does the team
fight for him or does the team sit back
and see if he can iron this out does the
nfl jump in
i mean i don't know where they go they
were accusers these aren't legal cases
yet
yeah i mean here's what's wild ryan i
mean look i do this for a living in the
world of sports there's been more
criticism of tim tebow
trying to make it as a tight end in the
nfl uh than there has been of desean
watson being accused of sexually
assaulting 22 different women
um if you want to make it a race-based
discussion the black quarterback is
getting a big pass compared to the
former white quarterback who's now
trying to make it a tight end uh
that's a pretty fascinating dichotomy in
my mind absolutely and i want to bring
it to basketball
i mean new york they're kind of excited
nick's a good first time in like 15
years and the nets have the best
collection of talent in the league
but for the most part ratings are down
substantially in tnt
uh espn so are they getting worried
yet i see people like dave portnoy say
it has the brightest future because they
have this big online
social media presence no i don't buy
into it
um i mean i think the nba can have a
bright future in china uh which is
probably more important to their future
right now than the united states which
is why they won't say anything negative
at all about china and they rip the
united states to the high heavens um you
know a couple stats for you
10 million more people watched the uh
the national championship game between
gonzaga and uh
and baylor to religious you know private
schools
in college basketball than watched any
nba finals game
uh the nba i think down 13 this year
setting an all-time low
for the number of people that are
consuming and watching their product
um and i think one of the challenges
they may have if you use social media as
a proxy is
social media can be great for watching a
two minute highlight video but people
who watch two minute highlight videos
don't buy season tickets and watch two
hour
games and so i think what the nba has
done
is it has hollowed out its overall fan
base by telling many of its fans
that it finds them to be offensive based
on their political views
uh i grew up and i'm sure you remember
as well brian like the idea the nba sold
with nba action is fantastic larry bird
mike
magic johnson michael jordan they tried
to have a big tent
and now it seems like they are trying to
restrict the number of people that are
interested in their game
it's very interesting clay travis great
points that's why you're the founder of
outkick and we bought it
