:: I'm also uncertain where you get the idea that Manning and Brady chase money more than Tebow? Tebow started off with a big fat contract as I recall. Peyton and Tom both stuck with the teams that drafted them, Peyton having done so until he was let go and replaced. When Tebow was offered a different position, one that made fuller use of his God given athleticism but did not rely so heavily on the decision making capacity that his QBing record shows that he does not have, he turned it down, holding out for a better paying QB position. Tebow also makes plenty of money through other venues in sponsorships and speaking engagements, which he courts as actively as any other player. The others may not have done a superbowl ad with their mothers, but it's not like they are slouching in the encouraging values department. Besides, isn't this about overrated sports stars? Why does their off the field behavior matter? Your whole thesis here is that off the field they are immoral liberals in bed with hollywood and the media (which is false) and not as good on the field, and that they should be given less media attention because of how poorly they compare on the field. When it's pointed out that they are excellent on the field, you point to what you consider failings off the field, you point to the area you just said that we shouldn't be using to justify media attention as your justification for media attention. --[[User:HHB|HHB]] 08:28, 14 June 2013 (EDT)

:::You don't understand, HHB. Manning and Brady with their 7 Super Bowl appearances, 4 championships, and dozens of passing records clearly don't have the ability of a QB who won 7 regular season games in a row and has a passing accuracy percentage near the bottom of the League.---eg
