Obssessed? Justified?

If you listen closely to ESPN, the name Tebow is said probably just as much as anybody else's. It is just a matter of time until ESPN stops talking about Tebow due to his lackluster seasons. During his college years, the media spoke about Tebow almost as if he was a godly figure because he is so religious. Tim Tebow has an incredibly strong following due to the fact he is heavily religious and christian which made him likable by large groups of people. The media capitalized and and tried making it seem like his success would continue in the NFL. The Denver Broncos also contributed to the media speaking highly of Tebow by drafting Tim Tebow in the first round. ESPN therefore had every right to speak so highly of Tim Tebow. Had Tebow not been drafted so highly, his media coverage probably would not have been as strong. I believe the Denver Broncos became a victim to all of the publicity of Tim Tebow.

Sure Tebow's religion helped with his popularity in the media;however, nobody can argue that he was not a highly successful college athlete. As much as people want to scrutinize ESPN for talking so much about Tim Tebow, his popularity is high enough to do so. I firmly believe in one or two more seasons he will become irrelevant on ESPN as long as he is not at the helm of an NFL team's offense. The fact is he is on the New York Jets right now in the midst of a team having trouble having quarterback trouble which makes for good air time when speaking about Tim Tebow or the future of the New York Jets.

Tim Tebow led a playoff team in the Denver Broncos which increased his media coverage rightfully so. Factor that in with him being traded to a popular team in the New York Jets, Tim Tebow's popularity or "Tebowmania" was as strong as ever.  As long as Tim Tebow has a chance at being the starting quarterback of an NFL team, he will be relevant in the media.
