Title: NFL.com Power Rankings: NY Tebow at 13 Post by: Thundergod on September 13, 2012, 07:45:34 pm This isn't a (I hate Tebow) thread, since I really don't. Just thought this was pretty funny. Especially coming from NFL.com. No really, the New York Tebow are at 13 after *his* win. :D Ha:

(http://viperbeam.com/forum/ny-tebow.jpg) WTF is this sh*t? Title: Re: NFL.com Power Rankings: NY Tebow at 13 Post by: CF DolFan on September 14, 2012, 07:35:53 am I saw that yesterday. As a Tebow supporter I'm speechless. The only thing I can think to rationalize it I they are trying to generate more animosity towards him... If that's possible.
Title: Re: NFL.com Power Rankings: NY Tebow at 13 Post by: Cathal on September 14, 2012, 08:23:15 am It's just a joke... He gets so much press that, I assume, the editor/writer is just making a joke.

Title: Re: NFL.com Power Rankings: NY Tebow at 13 Post by: MyGodWearsAHoodie on September 14, 2012, 10:14:12 am Purpose of joke: Generate page hits.
Success/Failure of said endovor: A+ Title: Re: NFL.com Power Rankings: NY Tebow at 13 Post by: Brian Fein on September 14, 2012, 10:14:50 am Sadly, I don't think its a joke.
Title: Re: NFL.com Power Rankings: NY Tebow at 13 Post by: Cathal on September 14, 2012, 11:07:45 am What else would it be?
Title: Re: NFL.com Power Rankings: NY Tebow at 13 Post by: Spider-Dan on September 14, 2012, 11:35:05 am "It's a joke" would be a reasonable explanation if this were Grantland.com's Power Rankings or some idiot's blog.
These are the Power Rankings of the official league website. It is just as inappropriate as if they had the second place team listed as the Cheatriots. Title: Re: NFL.com Power Rankings: NY Tebow at 13 Post by: Brian Fein on September 14, 2012, 11:39:05 am ^^ precisely. Great point.
Title: Re: NFL.com Power Rankings: NY Tebow at 13 Post by: Cathal on September 14, 2012, 12:51:36 pm Ok, I can agree with that.
Title: Re: NFL.com Power Rankings: NY Tebow at 13 Post by: MyGodWearsAHoodie on September 14, 2012, 01:11:02 pm "It's a joke" would be a reasonable explanation if this were Grantland.com's Power Rankings or some idiot's blog. These are the Power Rankings of the official league website. It is just as inappropriate as if they had the second place team listed as the Cheatriots. I stand by 1) it was a joke 2) purpose of the joke was to generate page hits 3) it was successful at generating page hits. Your agruement seems to go along the lines of it wasn't a funny joke and it was an inappropreate joke given the page it was on therefore it was not a joke, nor intended to be a joke. That logic fails. It is still a joke. Not a good joke, but still a joke. Title: Re: NFL.com Power Rankings: NY Tebow at 13 Post by: MikeO on September 14, 2012, 04:11:26 pm That logic fails. It is still a joke. Not a good joke, but still a joke. I agree not a good joke but probably a joke Title: Re: NFL.com Power Rankings: NY Tebow at 13 Post by: Spider-Dan on September 14, 2012, 07:46:57 pm Your agruement seems to go along the lines of it wasn't a funny joke and it was an inappropreate joke given the page it was on therefore it was not a joke, nor intended to be a joke. No, my argument is more like "NFL.com has never made any sort of similar 'joke' at any point in recorded history, and it is therefore unlikely that they quietly decided to start doing so by floating an extremely weak joke in a manner that looks exactly like a mistake."If it's a joke, why is it "Tebow" instead of "Tebows"? Why didn't they reference Tebow at all in the details? Title: Re: NFL.com Power Rankings: NY Tebow at 13 Post by: bsmooth on September 14, 2012, 10:49:24 pm Funny how people are more upset at the mention of the Tebows, yet say nothing about the Cheatriots which is an actual insult to everyone in that organization.
This Tebow love thing has gone too far. Title: Re: NFL.com Power Rankings: NY Tebow at 13 Post by: miamid45 on September 16, 2012, 09:38:53 pm Dolphins should leapfrog:
Titans (Horrible on both sides of the ball!) Jags (Ditto) Chiefs (Ditto) Saints (I'm sorry, but their D might be the worst in the league) Raiders (35-13..enough said!) Browns (Winless) Minnesota Washington St.Louis The latter 3 are debatable, but why not? Title: Re: NFL.com Power Rankings: NY Tebow at 13 Post by: MikeO on September 16, 2012, 09:53:47 pm These power rankings are worthless. Mean next to nothing. Just one guy's opinion
Title: Re: NFL.com Power Rankings: NY Tebow at 13 Post by: miamid45 on September 16, 2012, 10:05:56 pm I know, just tired of hearing how bad they all think we are.
