I think that question was out of line. I think this is indicative of the advent of bloggers and other fringe media types flouting more traditional boundaries of journalistic ethics in an attempt to gain attention and stir up controversy. Tebow obviously felt comfortable about answering the question, but what if he had not felt comfortable about it? Do we really want to go there with future star players on any team? Since this press conference, we have endured endless filthy jokes from blogging and posting fans about this subject, and it’s really pretty icky. I do think Tebow is a superior guy and a fantastic player, one of the all-time best in terms of his achievements and leadership – but this trend toward asking personal sexual questions in sports press conferences is very troubling.

No doubt there are many unsung Christians who genuinely try live out the faith they profess every day; it doesn’t make the papers, unless there’s some controversy spawned about “intolerance”. Jesus Christ is still the undisputed son of the Living God and I hope the day comes when the likes of Tim Tebow are the norm and not the exception in our culture and the world over. It’s really not about TT at all its about believing in a real Christ who makes a genuine difference in peoples lives.

[...] Paul Finebaum listeners (Finebots?) completely and unequivocally lose their minds over Clay Travis asking Tebow if he was a virgin. You would’ve thought that Clay had stood up in front of the Republican National Convention [...]

Hate the Gators – love Tebow. Wish Georgia had one like him. Good dude and good for the game.

Ryan whenever you meet Tebow go right ahead. We’ll notify your next of kin.Another case of an anonymous big talker with nothing to back it up.

Steve your comments are far worse then then the dumb ass reporter who asked the question. Apparently you are not even close to being a Christian, athlete or a reporter. I sat at a Florida UGA game years ago when a UGA fan kept calling out one of Florid’as linemen insulting his family heritage. I told the fan to step up to the fence and say it to the players face. Of course I knew he wouldn’t and neither will you…its called lack of character.

Clay Travis is Funny. Tony Barnhart is a cranky old man. You holier than thou baptists need to check yourselves. Go have a drink (in public).

The best part is that this AOL sports blogger (laughable in and of itself) who asked is somehow trying to justify the question itself. He’s responded by suggesting that “Are you saving yourself for marriage?” and “Are you a virgin?” are somehow not the same question. Reminds me of that Bill guy who wanted to know the definition of “is”. I posted on his blog that I hope he was excited about being the Simon Cowell of the lower-end sports blogging community and able to ask those “tough” questions.
