In an interview with Graham Bensinger, Tebow was asked to talk about his relationship with Hernandez and thoughts on the former tight end’s eventual fate...

quote:
“He was a teammate that was extremely competitive, that I think had a different side to him [than] a lot of how the media just portrays it,” Tebow said.

Bensinger followed up by asking in what way, to which Tebow asserted that some tried to “sensationalize something.” He would not go into any specifics though.

“I think just trying to sensationalize something … doesn’t make it accurate or good,” Tebow said. “And I think there’s been too much of that that has been sensationalized rather than just kind of tell the root of the story.

“I think telling some of the other side of what he came through and what he worked through, is working on. And it’s just in every area, hard.

“I think it’s just sad for a whole lot of people, you know? It’s why it’s hard for me to even answer your questions, because I don’t want to be a part of just talking about it … It’s not really my place, and I don’t want to, because there’s still family … and so many people are affected in other ways. It’s hard to know what to say, when to say, why to say it, because it affects so many people. And it’s hard. It’s hard for a lot of people, for victims, for his family, for so many people. I just try to be tender to all of that.”

The media only feeds people what THEY want !

Fine, but I didn’t give my kids all they wanted and they turned out better for it.

I wish I could say the media should be more responsible, but that’s a silly idea. Money is undefeated in the race to the bottom.

Dislike the Gators more than any other team but oddly enough they have 2 of my favorite college QBs and God fearing men I appreciate that played there. Tebow and Danny Wuerffel.
Good freaking guys.

That's not what he said.

That is not at all what he said, internet tough guy.

He was talking about the Hernandez family.

You conveniently missed the part about his concern for all the innocent family members involved that would be hurt by continuously sensationalizing the crime. Maybe reading more than a sentence strains you
