On to the Goal

For no particular reason, this picture.

The St. Paul (MN) Pioneer Press featured a “getting to know you” interview with Percy Harvin yesterday. The results were largely amusing and light-hearted, though that fact was completely lost on most of the Viking fans who commented on the story.

Overall, I think Percy came off as a good guy, if slightly immature, which we basically already knew. The most interesting item, however, was buried near the bottom of the interview:

If I could trade places for a day with anyone, it would be my old (Florida) teammate, Tim Tebow. Some of the stuff and some of the girls and things that were thrown at him. We saw all kind of actors and news reporters just kind of blatantly say, “Tebow, I want you.” And he turned them down. I’m looking at him, like, “Man, you are crazy.”

Somewhere, Thom Brennaman read that, gave an understanding little nod and stared wistfully into the distance. [/Simmonsbarf]

Now, before anyone gets too carried away, there’s a lot of ambiguity to Harvin’s quote. It’s not really clear if the unnamed reporters and actresses (I’m assuming that’s what he meant) are merely making inordinate demands for interviews or if they’re looking for a little more, eh, access.

Based on the context, I’m guessing the Interwebs will lean toward the more scandalous explanation.

UPDATE (5/27): I was being far too cautious. It’s pretty clear Harvin meant they want to sex Tebow.

Hey, that’s what the Internet is for. Either way, this really just confirms what we already knew: It’s very good … to be … Tim Tebow.

So let the speculation run wild, I guess. Message board moderators, prepare thyselves. And commenters, step up your game. The deadpan first reply on this Gatorsports.com thread will be difficult to top.

Finally, be honest: After a bunch of catty coach-fights, we needed this. I mean, it has been a full four days since Deadspin mentioned “Erin Andrews.”

Tim Tebow, Corch Urban Meyers and the rest of the 2008 Gators are in D.C. today doing the whole ‘gradulations thing with the President, Congress-folk and other people of great import. A friend snapped this picture of Tim Tebow doing Tim Tebow things at a reception hosted by the Florida House at the Library of Congress.

(Side note: Tebow looks pretty darn comfortable strolling the proverbial halls of power in a suit, so instead of merely inspiring legislation, maybe he could help craft it?)

Anyway, we hear the day has been a success so far, if only for the fact that Corrine Brown did not make a speech. Oh well. We’ll say it anyway. Go Gator.
