Obama weighs in on Tebow, Penn State controversy

President Obama said Thursday that the New York Jets quarterback situation would make him "pretty nervous" if he were a fan of the team.

The Jets acquired Denver phenom Tim Tebow in the off-season, but are playing him as a backup to Mark Sanchez.

"I've got to tell you, I don't like the idea of a quarterback controversy at the start of the season," Obama said on Columbus' 97.1 The Fan in a Thursday call-in appearance on The Common Man & The Torg's radio program.

"If I was a Jets fan, I'd be pretty nervous," Obama said. Sanchez "led them to the playoffs two years in the row," he said.

"Tebow seems to be a wonderful young man and he's got just a great winning attitude. He steps up when things count," Obama said. "But there's going to be a lot of tension in that situation."
Woody Johnson, the Jets owner, also happens to be a major Mitt Romney backer.

Obama also weighed in on the Penn State controversy, saying that the unprecedented sanctions levied against the Lions was an appropriate punishment for the child molestation scandal that has rocked the campus.

"I have been a big admirer of Penn State football," Obama said.

But "there are some things that are just more important than sports," he said. "Making sure our kids are safe is more important than sports."

A big admirer of Penn State Football? Huh, they haven't beaten a top 5 team since the 90's.

JoePa was a joke.

And I'll bet anything there was a lot more pedophilia going on than old Sandusky.

"Hey anybody seen coach Sandusky"

"Yeah, I saw him in the shower with a little boy"

"Well tell him JoePa wants to see him"

"Sandusky? Or the boy?"

JoePa lives forever until the law comes down on his program then he conveniently dies.

He makes a fool of himself every time he talks about sports.

Check that, He's just a fool. Period.
