Now Florida quarterback Tim Tebow has inspired one writer in Brooklyn to start a Web site entirely focused on the quarterback. Dan Shanoff, a blogger for the Sporting News and a former Page 2 writer at ESPN, says he started his TimTeblog on July 15 because "there is no bigger topic in sports." (The equally obsessive TebowZone.com has been around since August 2007.)
I asked Shanoff how his site could cover Tebow better than a print or online reporter who interacts with the quarterback on a daily basis. "The site's critical quality -- I won't call it an advantage -- is its focus: There are plenty of folks out there covering college football from the national level, covering the SEC as a conference, covering Florida as a beat. But I am the only one focused entirely on Tebow, and that hyper-topical approach is important: It allows me to be nimble enough to get interesting memes or stories out to the audience quickly but also allows me to offer unique depth and comprehensiveness of coverage -- not just writing specifically about Tebow news but riffing off news to provide a Tebow-centric angle."
Shanoff says his site has an end date: April 23, 2010. That's the day after the first round of the NFL draft.
This is only getting better...
