Over the weekend, a new team was crowned World Series Champions. People will continue the debate of whether or not the St. Louis Cardinals were the best team in baseball, but to be honest there should be no debate at all. The Cardinals earned the right to be called the best team in baseball, their record during the regular season may say otherwise, but when it came down to it, they were the best and hottest team at the right time. Not only did the Cardinals fend off a loaded Texas Rangers team, but don't forget that they also took down the Philadelphia Phillies(everyone's favorite to win it all) in the first round of the playoffs and the Milwaukee Brewers in the second round. The Cardinals took advantage of their opportunity. A team that during mid August was 13 games out of the wild card race, fought back into the playoffs, over came two favorites in the National league, and took down the best team of the American league to finish out one of the most improbable runs in Major League baseball history. From their win streak to make the playoffs, to their come from behind, 11th inning game 6 thriller, no other team deserved to be crowned World Series champs than the St. Louis Cardinals.
And now an abrupt transition to one of the most talked about topics in sports, Tim Tebow. Those of you who had the unfortunate privilege of watching one of the worst performances in the NFL this year would agree with me when I say Tebow has more to work on than just mechanical issues. The Denver Broncos lost to the Detroit Lions 45 to 10. I have said this since day one, Tebow is a great story. Proved all the naysayers wrong in college as he won a heisman trophy and 2 national titles and became one of the best college football players of all time. Despite all of his accomplishments, the guy has way to much to work on to be an NFL quarterback, and I finally got my proof this past sunday. Granted his coaches didn't give him many chances to have success on sunday by not calling plays to help his style, but under throwing his wide outs by 5 yards, the slow release and lack of accuracy was enough for me to say, this guy isn't the solution. Not to mention he had a quarterback rating of 27 at the end of the 3rd quarter. I will end my rant with this, I know a lot of you out there love Tim Tebow, and what isn't there to love about the guy, but you have be truthful to yourselves, you are all in love with this idea of him. The idea that this guy can bring a franchise back because he knows how to win. I'm sorry folks, this is the NFL, no longer is he playing college ball. Tebow is not the answer.
