Oddsmaker: Time Machine: Colons: NFL Combine, 2010: Who Struck Down Tebow?

With college football over, the next few times we will see any of these guys will be for the homoerotic ogling that is the North-South Bowl, the Shrine Bowl, and, of course, the NFL Combine. The Combine, of course, brought us one of the best blind items ever that did not appear in a tabloid (well, it did depending on your opinion on deadspin and Mike Florio's stylings on PFT) with the following occurrence:
At the Scouting Combine, the Wonderlic exam is administered to players in groups. The 12-minute test is preceded by some brief instructions and comments from the person administering the test.
Per a league source, after the person administering the test to Tebow’s group had finished, Tebow made a request that the players bow their heads in prayer before taking the 50-question exam.
Said one of the other players in response: “Shut the f–k up.” Others players in the room then laughed.

Now, my goal with this post is to give you the Vegas odds on who from that 2010 draft class was the one to shut down the talented foreskin cutter, with the hardhitting analysis to make sure you, our beloved readers, understand our reasoning.

Terrence Cody/Rolando McClain Odds: -150
The famous tittied one and the one who now dons silver and black are not two for Tebow to reckon with, especially after they ended his holy reign during the SEC Title Game on the way to Alabama's national championship. McClain and Cody were in the backfield giving Tebow hell, so bragging rights are right there, sucka. If anyone has the right to talk smack to this religious nut who wouldn't be around if his mom had aborted him, it's these guys, who made Tebow cry very recently.

Mike Williams: +150
The receiver put up a great year and looked like he may be giving the League's DB's trouble for years to come in combination with Josh Freeman, but before that,he was giving the Syracuse coaching staff fits with erratic and insubordinate behavior that led him to leave the team with 4 games left in the 2009 season. With his fresh mouth, it is highly likely he didn't want to hear Tebow push anything on him.

Bruce Campbell +200

Now, this is a name with a reputation. Bruce Campbell is famous for some of the best one-liners in film history, and even if this dude is 5 inches and probably 140 pounds bigger than the one I'm referring to, listen to this sass:
They didn't even have shoelaces in the Dark Ages! But yeah, with that reputation, we definitely have to put Bruce Campbell, NO MATTER WHAT COLOR HIS SKIN IS, in contention.

Ndamukong Suh +180
Suh hates quarterbacks, as evidenced by these videos:


So could you imagine a quarterback trying to impose his beliefs? Exactly.

Dez Bryant +200
Would the son of a prostitute and pimp say something like that? A big fat maybe, since I'm fairly certain he was working on salvaging his reputation at the time.

Sergio Kindle +190
He probably came up with this one while reading books on a portable device while walking down the stairs.

Colt McCoy +250
Despite having a similar belief set to Tebow, McCoy was the one who didn't make it a part of every public appearance, but still didn't garner the same attention despite the fact that it was he who had led his team to the national title game. Jealousy as the motive? GD right.

Jamar Chaney +0
Chaney, Stew Bradley's less-than-stellar replacement at middle linebacker to end the past season, Chaney has no bone to pick with Tebow. Look at some tweets, such as this one, and this one, and this one, and how about this one? And look at this one, and this one, and...what can you say, dude loves Jesus this much:










Seriously, no chance it was him.

Personally, my money is on McClain, since Cody was a bit less sure of himself as he heard chatter from teams about his weight issues. Wherever you put your money, remember, it's best to know all the odds.
