Good morning everyone out there in cyberspace.
OMFG!! Where did Spring go? It was cold and windy yesterday but today is even worse==>30º @ 8:30am in The Big Apple, The Greatest City In The World.
Looking out the windows of PHC it is so misleading because it is bright and beautiful but ... the wind is gusting and it is just plain Winter-like cold once you step outside. The good thing is - I have no reason to leave the cozy confines of PHC until this evening’s entertainment event, details below.
Folks ... as the title to this posting indicates ... Billi Pod wants to make some observations about Tebow-Mania, which has reached a media-fed fever-pitch already, so ... here goes ...
First, Tim Tebow is Tim Tebow. What you see is what you get. He is sincere and totally devoted to his religious beliefs. He ain’t gonna change regardless of where he is physically for the moment.
The media is creating the circus, not Timmy, for example, in today’s NY Post there was a full-page article criticizing Timmy’s choice of suit, shirt, tie and shoes for yesterday’s press conference. The article’s headline was: “TEBOW’S ‘SACK’ CLOTH.” People ... get real.
I am happy to report that the majority of the comments about the press conference itself were very favorable.
Now, why is Timmy here and a Jet? Well ... as more and more details are surfacing about the trade it is becoming apparent to Billi Pod that he opted not to accept a deal that would have sent him to his hometown of Jacksonville and the woeful Jaguars. He is here because he wanted to be in The Big Apple.
Why? OK ... take a deep breath ... MONEY!! Now ... calm down ... I am not ... repeat ... NOT ... saying this in any snarky or disparaging way ... so stay with me ...
I have long felt that Timmy’s primary purpose in this period of his life is to promote the various charitable and humanitarian projects he has been involved with over the years and that he has used his athletic abilities and “marketability” to raise funds for these and future projects.
I believe he recognizes that as an athlete he has a finite number of years in the spotlight and that he is trying to maximize the time he has remaining.
This is why he had no problem in leaving the small market Broncos and avoiding the morass known as Jacksonville. Jacksonville? Even Florida residents could care less about what happens in Jacksonville.
To support this theory Billi Pod also discovered a report that listed the top 5 most marketable celebrities as:
1. Oprah Winfrey
2. Adele
3. Kate Middleton
4. Tim Tebow
5. Will Smith
and, folks, this was before he moved to NYC, the country’s No. 1 media market.
During the ensuing months you will see more and more Tebow promotions/endorsements, so just be ready.
How all of this will play out on the field I just don’t know but I am confident that Timmy will be a positive influence in the otherwise acrimonious Jet locker room and that his devotion to winning will become apparent to even the army of saber-bearing neighsayers.
Yes ... Billi Pod believes that Timmy is a Jet to make as much MONEY as he can to support and fund his religious-based projects, which will grow and grow and grow over the next several years.
So, there you have it my loyal and faithful readers ... just remember where you read it first ... You are welcum ...
Now ... moving on to ...
Last night’s comedy show ELECTILE DYSFUNCTION: Laughing Liberally==>was gut-busting funny.
Among the performers was John Fugelsang, the comic who started the Mitt Romney “Etch A Sketch” fiasco. For you loyal and faithful readers who have no clue what I am talking about ...
“On CNN’s Starting Point with Soledad O’Brien, political comedian John Fugelsang asked Mitt Romney’s Communications Director Eric Fehrnstrom the following question:
“It’s fair to say that John McCain was considerably a more moderate candidate than the ones that Governor Romney faces now. Is there a concern that the pressure from Santorum and Gingrich might force the governor to attach so far to the right it would hurt him with moderate voters in the general election?”
Fehrnstrom responded: “Well, I think you hit a reset button for the fall campaign. Everything changes. It’s almost like an Etch a Sketch. You can kind of shake it up and we start all over again.”
And the YouTube video immediately went viral.
Totally enjoyed this show and I highly recommend it.
Tonight will be a scary adventure ...
8:00==>ELEPHANT ROOM - “You are invited to a place of secrets. Of mystery. Three magicians. Two acts. One show. Zero boring stuff. Sub-zero intelligence. Have fun or die.” (Way Way Off Broadway)
The scary part==>It is playing at St. Ann’s Warehouse in Dumbo, Brooklyn. I am the guest of Marty Kosarik, part of Dian Crystal’s posse, who “alleges” he knows how to get us there and back.
To all of my loyal and faithful readers ... if Billi Pod fails to post tomorrow ... immediately call The Missing Person’s Bureau and file a report because Billi Pod will be in serious trouble, somewhere out “there.”
GO YANKEES AND GO GATORS!!
