We last reported on the Sullivan Award a month ago. Back then, Tim Tebow was one of the 11 finalists for the Award, which is given to the top Amateur Athlete in the country… across all sports. Today, it was announced that Tim Tebow is one of the 5 finalists.
The Florida Times Union posted a funny article with a transcript of Urban Meyer and a reporter about the Sullivan Award:
Reporter: “Do you know anything about the Sullivan Award?”
Meyer: [shaking his head, “No.”]
Reporter: “Do you know what it is?
Meyer: “No. What is it?”
Reporter: “It goes to the best amateur athlete in the country. Tim [Tebow] is going to win it next week.”
Meyer: “Yeah. I don’t know about it.”
I’m not sure if Meyer was just joshing with the reporter or if he really doesn’t know what the award is. Either way, it doesn’t matter. Tim Tebow’s up against some gymnastic girl and a softball player and some other non-major sports athletes, so he really shouldn’t have any problem crushing the competition.
I’m sure he’ll win it… The ceremony is tonight, actually it’s going on right now, so we’ll know by tommorrow. GOOD LUCK TIMMY!
HE WON!!! (i think we ALL saw that coming)
