Devin Bush complains about Tim Tebow getting a job, then complains that the media noticed

Posted by Mike Florio on May 11, 2021

People in the NFL are reacting to Tim Tebow likely returning to the NFL. And people whose job it is to react to the reactions of people in the NFL are reacting to the reaction. And the reaction isn’t ideal.

Steelers linebacker Devin Bush posted a tweet complaining about Tim Tebow getting a job in the NFL before Colin Kaepernick. The full tweet from Bush is pasted below, so that folks can interpret the content and the emojis however they see fit.

😂😂Tebow got a job before kaepernick. Wait til we play Jacksonville💤💤💤💤

The folks at BleacherReport.com, as they tend to do since that’s what they’re there to do, noticed Bush’s tweet and publicized it. Bush responded with a tweet retweeting the tweet with this message: “Here comes the bored media.”

Yep, it’s the media’s fault. People say things, the media repeats it, and it’s the media’s fault.

We force people to say things that are noteworthy and significant. It’s mind control, actually. We use subliminal messages through the blockchain, whatever the blockchain is.

Meanwhile, I’ve got some thoughts on the obvious comparisons between Tebow and Kaepernick, and the less obvious way to harmonize the situation. I’ll address that in a bit.

I’m seeing people try to compare the 2 and its just not the same..

Tebow is being signed as a 5th TE by his old college coach... and its a gimmick to help sell some tickets.

While I think Tebow getting a shot at 33 is freaking hilarious AND embarrassing for all involved it shouldn’t be compared to Kaep.

Meh.

Not much to see here.

I think athletes would probably be best to avoid the spotlight via Twitter, but I don't think this all that relevant.

I think the Tebow signing is stupid on a football level. Seem super unlikely that anyone out of the league for 9 years is going to come back and be a useful member of the team.

I do kind of wonder what the narrative would be if Kap was signed to an NFL contract to be a depth TE that will almost certainly get cut. Or even if he was signed to compete for a starting QB job but lost out.

Tim Tebow will help fill empty seats in Jacksonville while Kaepernick would likely have the opposite effect on any team he plays for.

I cant stand Tebow.

Bush needs to worry about Bush. Focus on rehab and not about a bad player on the worst team. Focus on the the Steelers

Tebow is essentially a publicity stunt for Jax. They have almost zero support in Florida and bringing in Tebow gets them into the news cycle in a part of Florida where he is beloved. Smart marketing move...dumb football move

Bush has everything to lose and little to gain. Tebow's lucky to be in a NFL camp. By talking about him Bush out a spotlight on him. Well Mr. Bush, work on our own game and your rehab.

We all know Tebow is here for a cup of coffee and then off he goes. Bush shouldn't give him a thought.

wrong again, if you knew anything about Tebow then you would know that he gives his all in everything he does.

yes, it's a marketing ploy to sell tickets so that means they may very well keep him on the 53 man roster.
