Chuck Norris, once considered a fading action star, has had his career jolted due to an internet sensation extolling his toughness and virtue in hilarious fashion. Now, Norris is attempting to use his internet clout to rally the masses in defense of shunned ex-Jets quarterback Tim Tebow.
Norris has penned a 1,500-word ode to the run-first signal caller, saying, "America has the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championships) and the UCP (Ultimate Clutch Players)," Norris writes. "One is mixed martial artists, and the other is quarterbacks of the NFL. They all are athletic warriors who are extremely determined to win. My favorite in the UFC is Georges St. Pierre. My favorite UCP in the NFL is Tim Tebow."
Norris goes on to explain why the Jacksonville Jaguars are the best fit for Tebow.
"To put it simply, because Tim could help turn the mediocre team into a championship one. Tebow works miracles on the field, and his inclusion would embolden the spirit of the Jaguars among the team and fans."
Later in the ode, Norris says, "Tim is from Florida, where he bears a victor legacy and an extensive fan base, to boot, from his days with the Gators. Tim was raised in the Jacksonville area, where he became a high-school football star. Then his young, stellar career shot into the stratosphere when he led the University of Florida in Gainesville to some record-breaking wins. Tim won two national championships with the Gators and became the first sophomore ever to win the coveted Heisman Trophy."
Despite Norris' obvious passion for the embattled passer, it's unlikely Norris' plea will fall on ears willing to listen. The New York Jets had one of the NFL's most dire quarterback situations in 2012, and still refused to turn to Tebow as a full-time option.
Instead, they turned to a seventh-round draft choice, Greg McElroy, who just a year earlier criticized the team in the media. When he got injured, the Jets gave the ball back to Mark Sanchez, eschewing Tebow and his rabid fan base entirely.
