Gator Theft

I read this in a story about Heisman trophy winner Tim Tebow of Florida:
"Some people wear Superman pajamas to sleep; Superman wears Tim Tebow pajamas!" This is just one of many creative spins the University of Florida faithful have bestowed upon the Gators' sophomore quarterback. The young man from Ponte Vedra Beach is just 20 years old, but already a legend on the University of Florida campus. On Saturday, that legend can grow even stronger.
Creative, my ass! Unless you think replacing "Chuck Norris" with "Tim Tebow" is creative. I, for one, do not. This tidbit has been mentioned in every article I've seen about Tebow, but never has the origin of these jokes been cited.

Of course, maybe these jokes didn't start with Chuck Norris. Maybe they started 50 years ago. But they sure didn't start with Florida fans. They'd better hope Norris doesn't mind the outright theft. If he does, there'd be trouble.

Besides, Darren McFadden should have won the Heisman.

  1. Will that cost a quarter? Or will it be a quarter for every hit this page gets? (You could go see Enchanted after all!)

  2. Craig, I've heard he was home schooled. How did he play high school football? Plus the docs tried to talk his parents into aborting him. All in all, a pretty interesting story!
