So rather than have a feel-good story, the NFL PR machine would once again rather play the fool and the bad-guy. This precedent may have started when they pre-empted Tim Tebow's eye black back in the day and to a lesser extent, Jim McMahon's headband.

So blame those two wild and crazy guys for Heyward's recent dust-up with the NFL.

It almost seems like they would prefer wife-beaters, whore chasers and degenerate gamblers both on the field and in the stands. Not to mention as sponsors,

Maybe the NFL is the national pastime after all. And ESPN, their head cheer-leader.

God Bless America!!!

THE TIM TEBOW RULE

 February 15th, 2010  Pajo 
A recent report from the Palm Beach Post described how the NCAA Rules Committee is proposing a ban on wearing special messages on a player's eye black – the rule could be known as the Tim Tebow Rule. During his final season, Tim Tebow wore a new Bible verse under his eyes for every game. It became very popular… in fact, I created a special page here on Tebow Zone just for fans to keep track of what verse he wore on what day: Tim Tebow's Eye Black.

The eye black generated a lot of buzz, some 92 million people Googled "John 3:16″ after Tim wore it during the 2009 BCS Championship Game. The messages were highly effective, but if the new rule passes players will not be allowed to wear them. The report goes into how Urban Meyer had to be an "eye black cop" at times…always policing what his players were writing to make sure there was nothing bad and damaging to the University's image.

The rule was proposed on Thursday and if passed will become official for the 2010 season. I think that it will pass – there is just too much extra stuff going on and the whole monitoring thing to deal with. They will probably require all players on a team to wear the same eye black.

The NFL already enforces this rule, so Tim Tebow will have to abide by it once he signs on with a team. 

The Tim Tebow Eye Black was fun – but it looks like those days are over.
