It's kind of the price you pay by being in the media, however. If you're in the public eye and choose to be there, your personal life will be on focus.

The very media that help make him a billion is the same that is taking him down...What is even more interesting is all the people saying " I would never cheat or excuse it " but probably have done it at some point in there life but are not under the scope. Everyone reading this knows at least one guy that has cheated in a relationship. The facts are he cheated, many guys and girls do, he is paying for it, some people will like him less, most people will forget after next major win. Ask Kobe, winning cures all wrongs regardless if its right or not.

And while yes, I did lose some respect and don't believe there is EVER an excuse to cheat, I gained some for the truth. It is hard to man up to billions and say you were wrong, most of us can't even do that to a single person. And yes, what he did was wrong, and he's obviously paying for it at home. But, it also goes to show that we don't know what is goin on. Totally agree. And while yes, I did lose some respect and don't believe there is EVER an excuse to cheat, I gained some for the truth.

As you can tell, this is an old article, as this is far from breaking news anymore, and I am sure you read that the story was posted on September 28th. As a well educated commenter, and blog reader, I am also sure you took the time to read the prior post to this one, as well as the part two follow up. My opinion on Tebow? Yeah, he is a good guy. He has no doubt set records are Florida, and will go down as one of the top quarterbacks to ever play the college game. No one can take that away from him. However, look at the history of Gators superstars that flop in the NFL..Danny Wuerffel, Reidel Anthony, Jacquez Green, Elijiah Williams, Terry Jackson, Chad Jackson, Chris Leak, Chris Doering...all great in blue and orange...but what did they ever do at the next level? UF has a history of having GREAT college football players, but marginal pros at best. Hopefully, this changes with the Urban Meyer era...but looking at the overall history of the program, it would lead one to believe that Tebow would flop like the rest. I personally, hope he doesnt. I think he is a great role model for children, and we sure do know the NFL needs that...I just don't know if he will do it as a QB...maybe a safety or tight end.
