Ahhh.....too easy. :biggrin:



Whatever the [censored] you did in school Jax, I guarantee that the time constraints on Tebow were crushing, from the interviews, to the team meetings, film study, starting his lifting at 4:30 or whenever the weight room opened, to the practices, games, bowls, Heismann nonsense, to the prison ministry and his going to church to just goofing around like a student. I would guess that you had it massively easy in your studies when you put your free study time next to a guy like Tebow.

You really, really undervalue the pressure and time demands of his career at Florida.

I might agree for most majors...even social sciences. Not for this major. If Tebow has above-average intelligence (which I imagine you think he does, I sure think so) then this major would have been a cakewalk. In fact, it would have been a cakewalk for someone of above average intelligence who skipped class frequently (which Tebow could not do).

Thank god we get to see Tim Tebow make the case against abortion during super bowl commercials. I certainly don't see enough of those two as it is, and I for one am glad that the Super Bowl is being checked off the every-shrinking list of things that don't offer Tim Tebow more media exposure or bring up the divisive topic of abortion. Because that's exactly what I want on the TV at the family super bowl party.

*sigh*

While I agree with you on the subject matter of the commercial, they have as much free speech right to air that topic as the assholes who put the ED commercials on for my kids to see. That is why they have remote controls.

Ah yes, the ED commercials. Not to mention the various prostate commercials that I know are on even from the kitchen because my 7 year old starts laughing uproariously at "going too often? No steady stream?"

But yes, of course they have every right to air commercials on the topic of abortion. Just as they have every right to continue to shove Tim Tebow down everyone's throats. I just wish they'd exercise the right to not do so.

Of course, I believe that CBS previously had a policy about airing commercials on the topic of abortion during the Super Bowl, but apparently that no longer applies. Or something.

My problem isn't with the subject matter or Tebow, it's with CBS for giving Focus on the Family airtime after rejecting Super Bowl ads by PETA and MoveOn in the past. Makes me wonder how much of an issue they had with Uncle Verne's Bible Hour™ during the FSU game.

PETA was rejected for being objectionable, with rear and side nudity. I don't think that's comparable.

MoveOn's ad was pretty poorly done as well, and checked in as a political smear ad.

I'd like to hear some details about the ad from FotF. If the FotF ad takes cheapshots at those who believe in abortion, then it shouldn't be permitted. If it's merely showing what good came from not having an understandable & excusable abortion in a dire situation, then I think that's different.

There's a big difference between an ad which attempts to humanize the act of abortion (whether it's showing what an aborted baby can go on to do like Tim, or prolifers showing the struggle for a single struggling pregnant mom with a tragic conception story)...

And one that simply goes for the jugular with cheap attacks like moveOn.

They said they turned down both MoveOn and PETA because they don't allow "advocacy ads". I don't remember seeing any nudity in the '04 ad CBS rejected and the one NBC rejected last year didn't have any more nudity than a Victoria Secret commercial. I'm sure both networks show raunchier shit during the week.

NBC also rejected a Thanksgiving ad by PETA, which had nothing to do with sex.

MoveOn.org Civic Action: CBS: Don't Censor Ads
When you go to the Web site and bring up this ad, you can see a little girl cleaning the floor of a commercial building with music playing in the background, a boy washing dishes at a restaurant, another youngster working on an assembly line in a factory, another fixing tires at an automobile shop, and another collecting trash for the back of a truck.

The ad ends with this line:

Guess who's going to pay off President Bush's $1 trillion deficit?

Yeah, that's rough.

Again, "advocacy ads". Abortion isn't a gum drops and lollipops issue, and you know exactly what side of the fence Timmy and his mama are on.

Do you think they'd show an ad by Planned Parenthood?

Fair enough, and on those grounds they should probably ban all of them

I got the NBC & 04 ads mixed up, so I concede that point. On the topic of nudity, I don't remember any victoria secret commercials where anyone writhed topless slightly out of focus but still with her nipple visible. Looking again, the rear nudity may be implied instead of actual.

True

If someone else tried? No. If the face of their sports network asked to do so? Maybe.

Chances are he is smarter than a home-ec major, and could succeed in a more challenging degree. Given his time constraints, that was realistically the best he could achieve. Football was probably very limiting in both what he could select as a major, and the GPA he could post.

There are very few individuals that can claim to have any type of undergrad experience nearly as demanding as what a student athlete does. Very few. It's a pathetic degree I agree, but the naivety towards the expectations placed on a student in a D1 sport at a major university is astonishing.

How Does This Major Match Your Interests?


The FYCS major draws students with a wide range of interests and future goals. Many students who enter the program are interested in the following:
  • Abused & Neglected Children
  • Human & Community Services
  • Youth Problems
  • Juvenile Delinquency
  • Youth Development
  • Community Development
  • Nonprofit Management
  • Youth Ministry
  • Family Preservation
  • Care of the Elderly
  • School Crime and Violence
  • Social Services

Seems to match his professed interests - especially if he is going to help his folks with the Philippines Orphanage deal.
