Seriously NFL.com?

Ok, so I know that I tend to be hard on ESPN and Sports illustrated often. I give their entire main stream media analyst a lot of criticism for boring stories, wrong information, armature analysis and generally having no insight. I am always criticizing then for irrelevant article and obvious reports. I know that a lot of you are probably thinking “I am just another complainer” or “what makes this guy think he is such a great analyst?”

Let me respond. First, I don’t think that I am the greatest football writer, just that I am better than these jokers, sitting at home with only my laptop. I am not trying to convince you to read this, my goal is to simply make you aware of better/alternative information and perspectives from which to gain more knowledge about the NFL.

Second, I have now provided some proof thanks to the staff of the Associated Press and the National Football league. In an article posted on the Wire Report of NFL.com, “Tebow struggles in Senior Bowl, 'open' to work on fundamentals” the writers discuss Tim Tebow’s performance at the 2010 Senior Bowl. The article labels Tebow’s performance as “struggling”. They list his stats for the game as 8 of 12 passing for 50 yards, no TDs no Ints, and imply a lack luster showing from the draft prospect.

Later when addressing the performance of Cincinnati’s Tony Pike, Once of Tebow’s competitors at the Quarterback position in the 2010 NFL Draft, the article stated his performance as “solid”. His stats we also listed, 5 of 12 for 45 yards, no TDs no Ints.

Am I missing something, or were Tebow’s numbers better/same?
