Tim Tebow?

I mean, he was annoying, but definitely not worthy of being classified as a "supervillain".

Why is Tim Tebow listed as a villain? He's the antithesis of that IMHO.

I love that they rank Coach Kiffin so high on that list but don't even rank Alabama football or at the very least Saban

Cements that they won't cover Lane or LSU fairly, unintelligent hacks

Screw them, LSU against the world, helps the brand

I agree. Definitely meant to be tongue in cheek. Real villains off the top of my head would be
Penn state
Briles
Phillips (Nebraska RB)
Cecil Collins
DKR

Like how they just skipped right over the actual, real-life supervillains.

Considering the people running ESPN, Tebow being on the list makes perfect sense.

As a person and a competitor, I don't think there is a single person in college football who disliked Tim Tebow. However, the media made us despise the idea of him because they would not shut up about him. They'd even be talking about him in games that Florida wasn't playing in.

The Cult of Tebow was very real inside the organizations of CBS and ESPN. It go so freaking annoying. When we destroyed Florida in the 2009 SEC Championship Game, and they cut to that now famous shot of Tebow crying while taking a knee on the sideline, I pointed at the TV screen and laughed maniacally. Not because I disliked him personally, but because the media made me dislike the idea of him. I did the same when they showed Tebow's parents looking despondent in the stands. And I'm sure I wasn't alone.

I think that's why he's on the list.

I’m shocked they didn’t mention Cam Newton. Everyone ran his name through the mud in 2010 and even after early on in the NFL.
