I was sure of it as I posted above. I cannot see Tebow refusing to go into the game--ever, that's just not him. In fact he is too much of a team player to refuse even if it was deserved. The media must have mistaken him for an oversized ego black player who does things that a White player would never do...like the Lomas Brown, ex Lion black sumo OT, see below article...
Lomas Brown tells ESPN radio that he let lineman hit Scott Mitchell
Former Lions offensive tackle Lomas Brown was talking about the good old days on ESPN radio last Friday and he let out a little secret about his relationship with former Lions quarterback Scott Mitchell.
It wasn't a good one.
During a game against the Packers at Lambeau Field on Nov. 6, 1994, Brown had enough of Mitchell's shoddy play and decided to do something about it.
"We were playing Green Bay in Milwaukee … we were getting beat, 24-3, at that time and he just stunk up the place," Brown told ESPN radio. "He's throwing interceptions, just everything. So I looked at Kevin Glover, our All-Pro center and I said, 'Glove, that is it.' I said, 'I'm getting him out the game.'... So I got the gator arms on the guy at the last minute, he got around me, he hit Scott Mitchell, he did something to his finger ... and he came out the game. Dave Krieg came in the game. We ended up losing that game, 27-24."
"As you can tell, I'm just not a big fan of Scott Mitchell. He's just not on my Christmas list."
