Goodbye Tim Tebow

[jtcoltsfan]

To the tune of 'Candle in the Wind'

I wrote it (changed the lyrics) tell me what you think.. :-)

Goodbye Tim Tebow

Though we never thought you could throw

You had the speed of a running back

But your passes were too short

They crawled out of the woodwork

And they all Tebow’d in vain

They put you on the market

And they made you change your team

chorus

And it seems to me you were a Bronco

Like a candle in the wind

Never knowing who to pass to

When the O-line caved in

And I would have liked to have seen you

Complete a slant pattern pass

Your job in Denver's over now

Manning’s now the man

The media was tough

The toughest role you ever played

Manning is a superstar

And a trade is the price you pay

And when you Tebow’d

Oh the press they hounded you

All the papers had to say

Was that Manning was replacing you

[repeat chorus]

Goodbye Tim Tebow

Though we never thought you could throw

You had the speed of a running back

But your passes were too short

Goodbye Tim Tebow

From the fans at Invesco Field

Who see you as more than a running back

Except when Peyton takes the field

Be gentle!

[Coltman51]

Not bad, gave me a chuckle. Maybe headed down to Miami, they are running out of options.

[jtcoltsfan]

So is San Fran - whoops!

Eggs, meet basket..

[esidery]

He might be backing up luck.

[Coltman51]

No, don't bring him here. Don't need a diva in the organization. Let him stay in Denver or find another home.

[KaylaD]

He just needs to realize he makes a better fullback and get a job somewhere as just that!

[presto123]

I don't know why they wouldn't keep him and run a wildcat type thing on third and short. If he only has to pick up 2 or 3 yards I think he could do it almost every time. I have no idea what he makes so maybe it's too expensive to keep Tebow and Manning but Tebow is one heck of an athlete. He has to find a job somewhere you would think.

I do agree with you and definitely wrote the song with pure humor in mind. The Broncos can benefit from keeping him.

[jemack]

Good song, Now do one about him using Aqualung for the tune

[shakedownstreet]

that's terrible. but being a big elton fan you get a +1

[Poster X]

Sir Elton John writes the song for Marilyn Monroe, then rewrites it Princess Diana, and now we have a Tim Tebow version. Yikes.

[jemack]

that's terrible. but being a big elton fan you get a +1

... So goodbye Co-lo-ra-do. Where i hope you'll eternally burn.

You can't plant me as your Fullback. Miami'll give me a turn.

A team with no functional means to compete. Playin' like horny back toads

Oh I've finally decided my future lies beyond colora-do ohhhhhh, ohhhhhhhhhhhh, ohhhhhhhhhh, oh

Good lines other than the third one doesn't quite flow like the other ones. For the third line I would have put:

I was the man of the hour.....with Manning it had to turn sour.

[Peytongirl]

jtcoltsfan, that was really good. I like Tebow just fine, but I laughed so hard. Talent.

That verse is tricky....

Back to the howlin ol' owl in the woods.

Ateam with no functional means to compete. Eh, close enough

[ruksak]

In the last 20 hours or so, I have heard some of the stupidest, most biased and unrelentingly foolish comments I have ever heard in the wide world of sports in regard to Tebow.

"Is Manning REALLY an upgrade over Tebow"? per ESPN

Was that a SERIOUS comment...??? C'mon Man.

[ruksak]

Worse yet was Skip Bayless immeadiatly afterward saying "Of all the teams pursuing Manning, going back to even the Redskins, all of them, the Broncos were by far the worst team".

Arizona did not make the playoffs.

Seattle did not make the playoffs.

Tennessee did not make the playoffs.

Washington did not make the playoffs.

Denver WON a playoff game with Tim Tebow.

I rest my case.

Skip is "clearly" delusional or "clueless" or a case of sour grapes, who knows.

Poor Skip is a Tebow lover. He is on Mike&Mike for Greeny...I will not repeat some of the things he is saying....Tebow could not survive the extreme Bronco schedule. Peyton will need to be on his game too. Is it football season yet Ruk???

[BrentMc11]

Skip is just like half of the Bronco fan base......Tebow mania was real, and people all across the nation loved him. I even tuned in to watch, and I think he is not a QB prospect. He does/did win......did Curtis Painter? {sic}

[BrentMc11]

Was that a SERIOUS comment...??? C'mon Man.

I am laughing out loud....where is Cris Carter when you need him?

[ruksak]

Is it football season yet Ruk???

6 months.

You had to remind me!! I will be interested in training camp more than ever. This is the most important training camp since 1998 for the franchise, and our young OL needs i!!!

Well put.. You've heard "Danny Baily"?

Some punk with a ball point,

signed ol' Peyton Manning.

For millions,

In the lobby of a Denver hotel....
