Well now I feel awful.
Today I wrote of the disingenuous concern over head injuries in football by fans and media.
But how can you react any differently to Tim Tebow’s concussion at Kentucky today? (Kirk Herbstreit reports on ABC Saturday night that Tebow is being held overnight at a Kentucky hospital for precautionary reasons.)
UPDATE: The SPORTING NEWS reports “Tebow had a CT scan that indicated ‘no bleeding on the brain,’ a source close to the team told Sporting News late Saturday night. The source said Tebow probably had a ‘bad concussion.’”
Video after the jump.
You aren’t human if you don’t cringe at this clip.
Though I still don’t think my piece was necessarily a flawed observation. Tebow would be the first to tell you that plays like that in football are a necessary evil.
Okay, knowing him, he might not refer to it exactly that way, but you know what I mean.

You’re up 31-7 in the 3rd quarter @ home and playing Kentucky.
Why is Tebow still even in the game for? Are they trying to run-up the score or increase his Heisman stats? Who knows.
What I do know is that they play @ LSU next week.
I’d rather he be healthy and play there than stock pile #’s against an inferior opponent.

Bye week and then LSU

Serves Meyer right for keeping his hand in the fire too long. He should’ve been pulled earlier since Tebow was supposedly ill to begin with…
@RoB68- They were playing at Kentucky. Remember the “thing” about Superman flying on a different plane with some other players?

31-7 in the 3rd quarter isn’t a done deal on the road in the SEC.

31-7 and the reserves come in? UF let off the gas in ‘06 vs the Cats and they almost came back and won. Brutal (but clean) play, just an unfortunate result, but no reason Tebow should not of been out there.

Gators still won with the concussion
