Nice 99% delusional hysteria, as always. Give it a rest, Derek. What's next, a 1,000 word screed on the War on Christmas?
Take it to the Fox News lunatic rantings board.

The Tebow phenomenon is a trip. He's both loved and hated for reasons having nothing to do with football. Can't remember a worse player being such a lightning rod. On the other hand, can't remember a better person being such a lightning rod, either. If he gets a shot with the Pats it will be interesting. If he fades into Bolivian it will also be interesting.
This is one of the worst pieces I have ever read. Agenda much? It always amazes me Christians have pretend like they are the most persecuted group in American society. This crap does not belong on a Husky Football blog.

For those that are acting pissed about the story, it kinda proves the point of the story. Also, from the beginning of this thing, Derek said he may occasionally write about things not directly related to Husky football.
Derek makes an interesting observation. If you don't agree and want to discuss it, it can be discussed. If you just hate the fact the article exists, then take it to the Outrage of the Day Board.

You make it sound like it was a surprise that Belicheck and Tebow got the attention they did. I'm certain all the parties involved knew it would be this way.
I highly doubt Belicheck was bemused. Annoyed? You bet, but then again, he never seems to care much for the media. He wasn't born yesterday, he knew what the deal was.
I respect you as a writer, have read some very entertaining and enlightening stuff from you, but this was shit. I'm not sure if you care or not, but these type of articles will kill the momentum this site has started to generate.

We're lucky Derrick still writes articles the way you guys treat him. Everyone is quick to point out when he's wrong but never say anything when he's right. Goes with the territory I guess. You can say he's wrong about the existence of a Supreme Being but to say he's misleading is more wrong. He never predicted the return of Jesus he just passed along what he was hearing. Some of you need to learn the difference

Ut oh. Passion's offended. Shocker.
Very well written and spot-on commentary about the decline of our society, Derek. The sooner everyone accepts REAL GOD into their lives and we approach the necessary homogeneity we need the better off we will all be.
There's a fag flag flying at Safeco today, so I brought a crucifix to stab any homos that cross my path.

A couple things. First, there would be just as many questions if he was Muslim or gay...probably more.
Second, most Christians don't even act Christ-like. They are hugely hypocritical and deny facts like evolution and people born gay. These things coupled with priests being molesters and hypocrites are why they are mocked and scorned.
By the way I went to 13 years of Catholic school with a steady and healthy diet of Religion.

Sorry, I missed the part where I said I was offended. It simply follows that using a cover story on this website to advance your own political/social beliefs is one (small) step above grinolds and the other d-bags using their power to advance their agenda on doucheman.com. I wouldn't have even responded had it not been THE cover story on this website. Had it been just another post on a message board (where it belongs), I wouldn't have said a thing.
Keep in mind that you are actually agreeing with ducksareoverrated on an issue. That should tell you something.
This is awesome. Please keep posting. Damone, are you following your compatriot here? Good stuff.
Thanks, I will.
What's your next move, Passion? Are you going to get all sciencey and tell us that there is no God? You realize what a hypocrite you are, right? People like Derek and I are comfortable with REAL GOD. What do you have? Oh, that's right. A parade. Go back to it and get off our site.
