Barkley on Tebow: 'The national nightmare continues'

Found January 11, 2012 on NESN.com: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Charles Barkley,  Tim Tebow
TEAMS: Denver Broncos

From NESN:

Charles Barkley may be in the process of slimming down his waistline thanks to his Weight Watchers scam, but there's one thing a diet won't cure -- his big mouth.

The Round Mound of Rebound is back at it, and this time he's flapping his gums about what else, Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow.

Deadspin points out that Barkley made a radio appearance on 97.5 the Fanatic in Philadelphia, and the conversation eventually turned toward Tebow.

"The national nightmare continues," Barkley said. "Hey listen, I like Tim Tebow but there comes a point, he had a great game. He's supposed to have a great game. They want to make it seem like 'Oh so the world is aligned correct.' I'm like, 'He does play quarterback.' He is supposed to play well."

Barkley was then asked whether or not he's had enough Tebowmania.

"I think the world has," he responded before being asked about all of the Tebow fans that are out there.

"First of all Mike, I don't know anything you said about Tebow, but let's just say the jury is still out on Tebow. He seems like a nice kid but these ups and downs are so different. The jury is still out on Tebow. Just because he had a great game and made four or five great throws [Sunday] doesn't mean he's gonna be a great starting quarterback in the NFL."

  • Hear hear, Sir Charles. I'm sick to death of Tebow Tebow Tebow. If any other quarterback in the NFL had games like his, there's no way they'd be considered for a starter job, but Tebow gets special treatment. Until he can play consistently, in all aspects of being a quarterback (like passing), he's nothing special.

  • as to sick of tebow?---tough. he's everything the media craves in a story---polarizing and winning when he should stink.
    you must not watch much football. if any other qb in the league had games like his that resulted in wins, that qb would start. terry bradshaw was not a very good qb, but wears 4 sb rings and started for a good long time. and what special treatment? running the offense around the skill-sets (no matter how limited) of the most important position? that's not special treatment; that's intelligence.

  • Sounds like Barkley is looking for a little attention. It's too bad the only way he can get attention these days is by badmouthing a person who is a better role model and person than Barkley could ever think about becoming. We don't know Tebow will finish his career, but right now he is doing pretty good.

  • I used to like you Charles Barkley, even tho you always were outrageous. The only thing Tebow is really being criticized for is being a Christian.
    You need to think about that. I don't see Christians having any reason to criticize. If you aren't a Christian, you need to look into it. If Tebow were professing any other "religion" most people would not be criticizing him for it. I think he's a great witness for God and I'm proud of him. And he's a very good quarterback, too.

  • Barkley is right. He's not being criticised for being Christian. He's being criticised for being a dumb ass exhibitionist. Consider Matt. 6:5-6: "Whenever you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, because they love to pray while standing in synagogues and on street corners so that people can see them. Truly I say to you, they have their reward. But whenever you pray, go into your room, close the door, and pray to your Father in secret. And your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you” (Matthew 6:5-6).

    Even Jesus would agree with Barkley. Teebow is a joke.

  • This is a terrible understanding of the context of this verse. Please work on your biblical understanding before you throw around bible verses so flippantly.

    Please expound on the harsh assumption that Tebow is a "dumb ass exhibitionist".
    by bokchoyiee   January 12, 2012    
  • Just remember - those who are ashamed of Jesus - Jesus will be ashamed of when they stand before God. Go TEBOW. Tebow is just being a role model for many are are led astray... people who need to know that Jesus is the way, the truth and the LIFE!!!!
    by N4cingLaw   January 12, 2012    
  • Hey helmboy. Judge not. I see you're a biblical scholar. Maybe you'd like to call Tebow a "fool" as well as a joke. I don't believe Jesus thinks any of us are a joke, even Barclay, and he, Barclay, sure has a better lifetime and career record of acting like one than Tebow ever will. . . .Hey, I know, let's call Dennis Rodman away from his coaching duties with the topless women's basketball team and see what he thinks of Tebow. That would carry about the same weight with me as Barclay's attention getting opinion.

    by jjvsteeler   January 12, 2012    
  • He is not praying he is thanking God and he is not asking the media to film him they are doing it all by themselves, you must not know much because for years after EVERY GAME there are players that get together ON THE FIELD and pray but the media does not show that, so to single Tebow out with your ignorance is sad

  • a good example of how the devil knows scripture and trys to pervert it to his purpose. Jesus was talking to the pharisees the religous priests of His time that were the ultimate hypocrites. They would make public displays of there "religiousity" fasting and praying in public when as JESUS PUT IT "INSIDE THEY ARE FULL OF DEAD MANS BONES" sO FAR TEBOW WALKS THE WALK!
    by cappys   January 12, 2012    
  • You are taking that particular scripture out of context. It's talking about the hypocritical Pharisees who pray loud prayers in public places in order to be heard and admired by the people. There are numerous scriptures that command Christians to let their light shine and not to hide it under a basket. All you have to do is observe what Tebow does off of the field and what he does with his money to see that he the real thing and not a joke. You are the one that is a joke.

If you look closly at the REAL history of Christianity you will realize that it was set up for nothing but a system of control. As for me I prefer to think for myself, and not what some book that was put 1700+ years ago!!! As for Tebow he's need to keep his beleifs in his home or church and not wear it on his sleeve!!!

  • Your logic, or lack thereof, really baffles me. Is Tim Tebow directing the media to cover only himself and not the rest, or is it the media who are trying to make a spectacle of Tim and ignoring the rest? How in the world do you get up in the morning and put on your shoes with logic like yours?

Is everyone so down on Tebow because he give recognition to the one he believe in and knowing he would not be able to perform without the almighty (who he believe in, and million more individuals) giving him the talent. Keep it up Tebow, you are doing as the words in The Bible quotes.

  • Tebowing would have been nothing more than another td dance if the liberal left hadn't felt they had to attack it. When you do dumb things like suspend a kid in school over something that innocent it becomes bigger than it would have been. So if you're tired of it blame the people who attacked it for inflicting it on you.

  • TB himself admitted he wasn't very good. But, like Tebow, HE WINS GAMES. stat,shmats. He get the ball to receives who score touchdowns, same as TB did in Blitsburgh back in the day. Bradshaw didnt have overly impressive numbers, he just won ball games. Same as Tebows doing now.
    by ilikecake   January 12, 2012   Reply    
  • Hate to agree w/ stangmark, but Bradshaw was merely adequate as a qb. He was to the Steelers what Trent Dilfer was to the Ravens, i.e., "just don't do anything stupid and lose the game for us". If it weren't for Franco Harris, Rocky Blier, Lynn Swann, John Stallworth, a monster o-line anchored by the greatest center in the game, Mike Webster, and the Steel Curtain defense, John Madden's Raiders would've been the dominant AFC power in the 70's.

    You are right Terry Bradshaw was not a very good QB with 4 S.B. rings.

    He was a fantastic Quarterback.

His mouth got him in trouble with Weight Watchers when he ran his mouth on national tv during a game saying that weight watchers was a scam to get your money. He's not even that good of a B-Ball player. You know that Tebow gets almost all the attention these days and he rightfully should. Taking down the Packers in style should say it all.

You can love or hate CB just as you can love or hate TT, but you can't ignore him. And by the way I hope TT keeps up the strong witness for the Lord! You're right he's not a great qb now.

  • Listen, let's be honest. I will be certainly called a racist because if you merely TALK about race you are a racist. The truth, I believe, is that if Tim Tebow was, e.g., a Muslim, and openly prayed in the traditional manner as, e.g., Muslims, with forearms extended and pointing to heaven . . . a beautiful way to pray. There would not be one NFL player, (esp a black player) who would openly mimic him. Not one! But b/c Tebow is a Christian, he is fair game. It takes a few years to become a really good QB in the NFL; however, Tebow is expected to be flawless in his first year (and not a full year). Barkley is a coward, who would NEVER say the things he says about Tebow were he (Tebow) a black NFL player who openly prayed according to his Non-Christian beliefs. Barkley could talk forever about athletes who get arrested, use drugs, beat their wives/girlfriends, etc. But he has had enough of Tim Tebow, which says more about Charles Barkley than Tim Tebow. Please don't think Barkley is the only coward. There are more out there. And not all of them are people of color. Cowards, as do role models, come in all Races and Creeds.

  • thank you. charles barkley has one of the biggest mouths on sports tv and i don't even watch it that often. no he wasn't that good of a bball player just alot of mouth and negative attitude and as far as weight watchers goes whatever works. in times like this it is refreshing to see someone in the spotlight such as tebow give thanks. more people in the spotlight should do it.

  • Actually that was "Very" tame for Sir Cumference.

    I'm enjoying Tebow and the Broncos as its a great feel good story. Charles was nice about his comments and even said he likes Tim. He is just personally tired of the hype.
    Some like it and some don't

  • I guess whats funny about Barkley's statement: we all have had enough of Tebow. No, we all have had enough of Barkley running his mouth. However that doesn't seem to stop him from running it or picking up hookers....

  • I'm with you. I have nothing against him, but there are other QBs in the NFL. why does every story, every day have to be about Tebow, just because he's a good christian virgin.

  • Not because he is a Christian but because he is a winner. Got that a winner. He has inspired others by example on every Foorball team he as ever played on.High School, College and now the Pro level.Not only is he a winner but he does it with class and humbleness.Shares the accolades with his teamates and coaches never takes the credit. Rightfully so, Football is a team sport. But how many players in the world of team sports are that considerate and that generous with thier praise.95+ percent of pro athletes today are selfish and carry a huge sense of entitlement a "chip on thier shoulder" if you will. Tim Tebow is what is good and possible in all of us. I think that most people would say that they wish that they had more rather than less of the qualities that he has. We all wish that we could lead by example as generously and consistently as he does.Taking the blame for failure and sharing the success. He is an inspiration to all! If you are not inspired by his success and the way in which he does it you must be a selfish and lonely narcissist. There is nothing wrong with aspiring to be more than we are at this moment. He may not be the most athletically gifted quaterback in the NFL but he is most certainly one of the greatest role models that the NFL has ever produced. I hope that his story continues for many years.
