(To be sung to the tune of the English sea song “Brave Benbow“)
Come all you football fans, and draw near, and draw near,
Come all you football fans and draw near.
It’s of a QB’s fame,
O brave Tebow was his name,
Why he will not start again,
you shall hear, you shall hear.
Brave Tebow he dropped back
For to pass, for to pass
Brave Tebow he dropped back for to pass.
Brave Tebow he dropped back
For to throw a speedy slant
But, as you well know, he can’t
Miss the grass, miss the grass.
Said John Fox to his men:
We will run, we will run
Said John Fox to his men, we will run.
For I value no disgrace,
nor the losing of my place,
But if we can get McGahee out in space,
We’ll have won, we’ll have won.
The marvelous Tebow took the snap, took the snap
The marvelous Tebow took the snap.
And when he did, he’d try to throw
To somebody on a “go”,
To somebody on a “go”,
Incomplete, incomplete!
Brave Tebow to the Jets
By a trade, by a trade
Brave Tebow to the Jets by a trade.
Brave Tebow to the Jets,
And all his fans give Sermonettes:
“Tebow by Elway’s camp
Was betrayed, was betrayed!”
Rex Ryan welcom’d him,
Cries Tebow, cries Tebow
Rex Ryan welcom’d him, cries Tebow.
But they got him out of haste,
And the Quarterback was placed
(While Mark Sanchez was disgraced)
On the bench, on the bench.
I hope this doesn’t offend anybody. I’m not trying to make light of the original song about Admiral Benbow, which is very sad. I’m trying to mock Tebow’s zealous fans, who make it seem like it’s such a tragedy. I mean, I myself think teams are stupid for passing him up, but some people moan about like it’s the worst injustice ever perpetrated.
I know you wanted Tebow to go to Buffalo, but is New England a good place for him?
Not really, in my opinion. He seems more like he’d be of use to a desperate team that needs to radically shake themselves up. I’m not sure why New England would feel like they need him–it’s not like he’d be capable of filling in for Brady.
Still, Belichick knows a thing or two about football, so they may have some clever scheme in mind.
