Lol, good one, the Mets.
Tim Tebow rose from nowhere? Seriously? Heisman trophy winner, played on two national championship teams in the SEC? Really.....nowhere? C'mon. I mean I like Tebow as a person, he seems like a really good dude and I am rooting for him all day. His hardcore fans on the other hand have become so annoying, always looking for someone that they can say is hating on him when he himself could probably give two shits. Jeremy Lin is leagues better than Tebow at playing their positions. Tebow has relied on so many flukie things for so a few of those Ws.....58 yrd. field goal and shit. Meanwhile Lin is actually making his teammates better. Lin's hype is first and foremost centered around skill where Tebow's seems more about him just being popular....because he was already super popular for being a great college QB in the hardest division in the country. I also think that the Christian thing going for Tebow is larger than Lin's Asian thing. I think Lin is better and will last longer playing at a higher level.
That being said, I think Lin's mania will fade first because people will see he's actually really skilled and it won't be a big surprise anymore.

I understand that Tebow didn't literally "start from nowhere", but Heisman trophies, and standout careers in college don't always translate into billion dollar endorsements, and Super Bowl rings , just ask Matt Leinart, and Jamarcus Russel who, for all intents and purposes, are huge busts in the NFL. Before this year, Tebow didn't have much to his name in the NFL, anyway, I think I've made my point.
OT: I agree with you on Lin. Years from now, he will be your average superstar, without the "flash" factor, and until Tebow learns how to throw, he'll sink lower and lower until Tebowmania ends.
