Ugh. It's Sunday Followers-
I should be enjoying my Sunday evening because I just got back from a very exciting Blackhawks OT win, but instead I'm so angry about the stupid Bears losing to the even stupider Broncos. I think I'm most upset that every single headline, every single facebook status, every single stupid tweet is praising Tim Tebow for yet another "miraculous" win. Woof.
I am NOT a Tim Tebow fan. I never have been and I never will. I'm not drinking the kool aid he's selling. I hate kool aid. It's gross.
I never thought I would ever say this, but I'm on Team Charles Barkley. You must be thinking, "Charles Barkley? What does he have to do with the NFL?" Well, he recently spoke on the "Waddle and Silvy" show about Tebowmania and he had something to get off his chest,
"I want to make a personal plea to Lance Briggs, Brian Urlacher, and Mr. [Julius] Peppers, please stop the madness. I'm just so tired ... I like Tim Tebow. He seems like a good kid, and I wish him success, but I am Tebowed out. So this is my personal plea for you three guys, please stop this madness."
I'm with ya, Charles. I'm so with you and I have to believe that the majority of America is as well. I am so sick of all the ESPN commentary and mindless babble about how Tim Tebow is changing the world of football one mediocre game at a time. Really ESPN? You CRAZY! I actually miss you talking about Lebron James! Crazy, right?!? Instead of wasting so much time talking about this big ole nut job; why don't you spend your time talking about the real "Savior of the Broncos!"
Let me ask you a question, Followers. Have you ever heard of Matt Prater? No? Neither has ESPN.
He's the kicker for the Denver Broncos. He's is actually the real hero of the Mile High City. If it weren't for Matt Prater the Broncos wouldn't even be close to a toilet bowl.
Here are some fun facts you should know:
-Tim Tebow has started in a total of 8 games.
-Out of those 8 games, the Broncos are 7-1.
-Matt Prater won the following games for the Broncos: (click on the game and see the game winning field goals):
1. Minnesota 35-32
2. San Diego 16-13
3. Miami 18-15
4. Chicago 13-10
-Out of the four games, three games went into overtime.
-Out of the three OT games, two of the games went into overtime because of a MATT PRATER FIELD GOAL!
This guy is one helluva kicker and no one seems to give him ANY credit.
Did you notice what all the announcers tend to say after any of Prater's game winning field goals? They tend to say, "Tim Tebow and the Broncos win again!" I'm sorry. Tim Tebow and the Broncos? Are you sure you didn't mean, "Matt Prater, Willis MacGahee, Eric Decker, The Broncos Defense and sorta Tim Tebow win again?" Tim Tebow never does enough during a game to allow him sole credit of their wins. Anyone look at Tebow's stats? Never that impressive. Anyone look at Matt Prater's stats? WAY more impressive.
In this season alone he's completed:
THREE 20-29 yard field goals
SEVEN 30-39 yard field goals
THREE 40-49 yard field goals
THREE 50-59 yard field goals (two of those goals were from the Bears game)
Instead of saying, "You've been Tebowed!" We should all be saying, "You've been Pratered!"
It's a shame that Matt will never get the proper credit he deserves for all the games he has won for the Broncos. It's a shame that he has to go home and listen to everyone praise somebody else.
Well, I think I've done a pretty good job at spreading the Gospel of Prater and I hope you will pass it on.
Enough of the Tebow Train let's all go to the Prater Party.
WHO'S WITH ME????
P.S. Patriots if you don't beat the Broncos next week, Charles Barkley and I are having words with you!
