Esquire: Just How Big Has Tim Tebow Become?
My article in Esquire about Tim Tebow: “How Can You Hate Tim Tebow?” Well, how can you? Here is the beginning of it.
SAN DIEGO — So there were about four minutes left in regulation and Tim Tebow actually set still those miraculously restless feet of his for a goddamn second and threw an actual pass up into the Sunday sun. Somewhere underneath with his arms extended ran Eric Decker, a kid from Minnesota who is dating a pretty country singer by the name of Jessie James, but that’s another story. Everywhere around them, in every section of this old concrete monastery to sub-par football, the Tebow faithful held their arms out wider still and sniffed, as if breathing the same bratwurst-infused air as No. 15 was going to get them closer to Our Lord and Savior, or something.

Pacquiao-Marquez III: Esquire, The Atlantic, TIME
Some of my bodacious post-fight articles from Pacquiao-Marquez III.
I wrote four separate pieces (Sponsored by Bud Light and chocolate covered pretzels, baby) about the fight, and I talked about the UFC on Fox (to the “consternation” of many) in my much loathed (by the superduper touchie MMA crowd) Esquire U.S. piece…Yes, yes, my Pacquiao-Marquez pre-fight prediction was dead wrong but please realize it was written before knowing about the pre-fight cell phone throwing incident and the pre-fight all nighter and some other stuff (some of you know what I am talking about, right?). Annnnnnyways. Enjoy some boxing writing. There isn’t much of it out there anymore. I work hard, I write hard, for you, the fans. You’re welcome.
