How Many Tebow-for-Heisman Articles can David Whitley Possibly Write?

Seriously. We get it already, Whitley.

After some bizarre O.J. Simpson jokes, Whitley offers new and inspiring arguments.

The case for Tebow doesn't come down to big numbers.... The stats weren't quite as ridiculous this year but he played better. At least he did if you count things like leadership, determination and honor.

[This seems like an appropriate place to point out the fallacy that Tebow is attempting to become only the second player to ever win two Heismans. The reality is that Tebow would be the THIRD man to do so. Everyone always forgets that Mohandas Gandhi won back-to-back Heismans in 1889 and 1890. Dude had UNREAL determination and honor numbers in those seasons.]

If you don't believe it, see what happens when this one's gone.

[The "Marty McFly" argument. Always a winner. Tebow should win the Heisman THIS season because I can only imagine that Florida will suck NEXT season if Tebow is gone. QED.]

If voters have Tebow Fatigue, they should remember the Heisman tiebreaker. If it's close, give it to the candidate who spent spring break performing circumcisions on indigent Filipino youth.

[OK, we're done here.]

Hate to be that guy, but Gandhi actually won his back-to-back Heismans in 1899 and 1900 at the surprisingly old age of 30 (and then again at 31).

Apparently, he was busy with some sort of movement in India that lead to his late enrollment in college. Whatever. Dude could make it rain out there, and those were the days before the spread!

It might have been the days before the spread (hilarious observation, by the way), but his coach for the second Heisman season? Yep. A middle-aged Joe Paterno.
