TRT is always trending

I couldn't help to get a little disgusted the other day. I'm not sure of the timeline now, but it was less than a couple of weeks ago when I heard the first report. Tim Tebow (TRT) had been in Las Vegas to do his part in an upcoming Nike commercial. Of course, all the cameras followed him wherever he went (which was to the photo shoot-back to the room and out of Vegas). This would be one of those occasions where "what happens in Vegas" doesn't "stay in Vegas." There just happened to be an Adult Entertainment (Porn)Convention in town. So all the cameras were there (TMZ& all the others) prepared to nail Timmy for any misdoings. To no one's surprise, it was a non-story, because Tim did the shoot and got out of Vegas clean. He didn't gamble, smoke, drink, dope it up or anything. Ho hum! No story here. Keep moving. ---Here's what disgusted me. It was a few days after I had heard the non-story that a sports column was entitled something like "Tebow at Porn Convention in Vegas." This article was way-late, and turned out to be a non-story as well. It was just a headline hooker. (yeah, that would be a pun.) Then at the pre-Super Bowl festivities someone tried to make a big deal about TRT talking to all the ladies at some party. Of course, he was being respectable to all that wanted to talk to him. But the report tried to make a big deal that he talked to one girl more than the others. Whoopteedoo if he did! Of course, the Golf Channel had to make a little noise with TRT since he couldn't play a recent tournament due to a football injury. He was kind enough to do an interview. In the interview the guy asks if Tim would ever go into politics. I'm sure this will be used against him as soon as possible. But as usual he was just answering a question in front of him. He said it was possible. So, if we believed all the headlines we would believe TRT is a Porn-show going-lady-loving-politician. However, if you read the articles he's just a young guy trying to live the truth in a perverse world answering all the stupid questions people ask. Stay tuned to see how the media uses him to sell papers, radio and tv time via headlines. TRT is always trending. Get a life people.
