Once again, Tim Tebow proves his talents on the field. This time versus the Jets on November 17, 2011.

Honoring Gator War Heroes

This weekend, we pause to recognize those who have served our great country through various Veteran's Day remembrances and celebrations. Whether you plan to participate in a parade or quietly reflect on the service of the brave men and women who so valiantly have fought for our freedom, please take some time to privately or publicly thank a solder (or two, or three or 100)!

In honor of Veteran's Day, I have put together a special Tribute to Veterans program, which will air tonight on the Old School Gator Radio Series with Roger Franklin Williams from 8 - 9 p.m. EST on 540 WFLA-AM, the Gator Nation Station.

The program's featured guest will be esteemed Orlando attorney Tom Tart, a Gator football letterman from the Silver Sixties era and an expert on World War II era history. The program will also highlight the service and wartime stories of UF football players who served heroically during World War II, including E Fergie Ferguson, an outstanding two-way end from Stuart, who suffered fatal wounds in combat during the D-Day invasion. The program will also feature All-SEC RB Walter "Tiger" Mayberry of Daytona Beach, who served as a decorated combat aviator and was shot down and killed in a Japanese POW camp, as well as General James Van Fleet, a highly successfull coach of the 1920s era who was a highly decorated General during World War II and the Korean Conflict as well as other Gator War Heroes.

Most disliked figure in sports right now? C'mon!!

OK now this is going too far.

I came across a recent USA Today article, which includes a poll, about the most disliked figure in sports right now. On the poll, figures such as Tiger Woods, Michael Vick, Kim Kardashian, Lebron James, David Stern/NBA Owners, and... TIM TEBOW?!

Thankfully, Tim isn't leading the poll in votes, but he's tied in percentage points with Michael Vick!! Michael Vick, an animal abuser! What has Tim done that even compares to Vick's actions? How can he even be placed in the same category as Tiger Woods?

Sure, he's polarizing, but MOST DISLIKED figure in sports? There's something very, very wrong with this.
