Joel Klatt: "I think he's completely arrogant and selfish for trying to do what he does and quite frankly he's behaved like that for a long time, the whole speech at Florida had more I's than it did teams and we's.

As a backup in the NFL, he talked about how much he wanted to start as a backup. You never hear backups talking about how much they want to start.

He was given the chance to go to Canada and was told by NFL executives and personnel that 'Hey if you want to play football in the NFL which was your quote unquote dream for so long or at least that's what you stated publicly than you need to go to Canada and work it out.' He was afforded that opportunity and he said no because he had other things to do like be on TV.

And now all of a sudden he wants to go and just kind of jump to a baseball career? I don't think it's right. I don't think it's very fair to the minor league baseball players that are actually being around and are actually quality players. This screams of publicity and arrogance and narcissism and it frustrates me because this guy preaches that he's everything else but that's all his actions actually say and do."

The butthurt is real.

Klatt also goes on longer talking about how he could've gone to Jax but chose NY for the media attention, then lied and said Elway gave him no say in where he wanted to go.

agree with everything Klatt said and have said the exact same things for years. Ever since I saw that High School special about him in like 05 or 06, I didn't like the dude. He was yelling to the coach that no one else could touch the ball down in the red zone but him.

The Florida speech was contrived and screamed selfishness and media whore. The whole NFL QB "dream" was all for attention, just as is this baseball gimmick.

Link to full podcast. LINK Tebow talk starts around 27:20.

I saw him pick you guys for the title this year. He said, "after all these years picking against Bama and being wrong, I've learned my lesson." Kiss of death
