			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was shocked I tell you &#8211; <em>shocked!</em> &#8211; when I found out today that Tim Tebow, the patron saint of all that is holy in sports and life and all of mankind and humanity, <a href="http://www.lvrj.com/columnists/normclarke/breaking_news/TEBOW-TAKES-IN-VEGAS-CLUB-SCENE-115733994.html?normBN=true" target="_blank">was in Vegas recently partying</a> until the wee hours of the morning. Yes. You heard that right.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>&#8230;the Denver Broncos quarterback, who has cultivated a wholesome image,  was clubbing until 2:30 a.m. at Surrender nightclub at Steve Wynn’s  Encore.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>Tim Tebow!? <em>OUR</em> Tim Tebow!? Out until 2:30 am!? <a href="http://www.timteblog.com/" target="_blank">For the love of Dan Shanoff</a>, what is going on here!!??</p>
<p>But wait! Read on to the next sentence:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Sticking to water&#8230;</em></p></blockquote>
<p>Ah yes, that&#8217;s the Timmy Tebow we all know and love! He might be out at 2:30 am in Vegas, but he isn&#8217;t about to succumb to the same earthly vices that everyone else in Vegas does.</p>
<p>This, of course, got me thinking: what would a night out in Vegas with Tim Tebow be like? And because my mind has become warped by the Internet, I decided to speculate in the form of a meme.</p>
<p><span id="more-26932"></span></p>
<p>So allow me to introduce the <em>Tebow in Vegas </em>meme.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Update:</strong> Based on how some people are taking this post, clearly assuming that I am trying disparage Tebow, I feel the need to clarify. <em>I really like and respect Tim Tebow</em>. He annoyed the hell out of me when he first got to Florida, but over time he won me over because, as far as I can tell, he is a completely genuine person. The created this post because of the juxtaposition of the &#8220;pure&#8221; Tim Tebow and Las Vegas, which is anything but, seemed damn near absurd and certainly a perfect subject for these style of meme. So, to the Tebow lovers who are come here: I share your appreciation for Tebow. I wish I had 25% of his conviction, confidence, and self-discipline.</p></blockquote>
<p>Below are the first seven that popped into my head. I might add to it later if any more strike me, but I&#8217;d rather see what you can come up with. If you want to make your own, <a href="http://www.midwestsportsfans.com/wp-content/uploads/meme/tim-tebow-in-vegas.psd" target="_blank">here is the PSD file</a> and <a href="http://imgur.com" target="_blank">here is a site</a> where you can upload the images once done. Throw your links in the comment section.</p>
<p>[Note: if you don't get how this kind of meme works, <a href="http://reddit.com/r/adviceanimals" target="_blank">here are a bunch of examples</a> of similar style memes. You can also read <a href="http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/scumbag-steve" target="_blank">this description of Scumbag Steve</a> to get the idea.]</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><!--StartFragment--></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span><span><img class="alignright" style="float: right; border: 2px solid black; margin: 2px;" src="http://www.midwestsportsfans.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/st-louis-rams-logo.jpg" alt="Potential Buyers, Locations for St. Louis Rams | New City Possible for Rams" width="145" height="109" />According to the <a href="http://www.stltoday.com/stltoday/sports/columnists.nsf/berniemiklasz/story/E76D1319278A6843862575C70010D605?OpenDocument" target="_blank">St. Louis Post-Dispatch</a>, Rams majority owners Chip Rosenbloom and Lucia<span> </span>Rodriguez are looking for buyers for the team. This is not much of a surprise since they have been open to offers after inheriting the team after their mother and long time owner Georgia Frontiere died in January of 2008. And as the columnist Bernie Miklasz reported, Goldman Sachs (one of the strongest financial companies even during Wall Streetâ€™s sour months and best last name ever) is now leading the charge to find the highest bidder. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span><span><img class="alignleft" style="float: left; border: 2px solid black; margin: 2px;" src="http://www.nolte.co.uk/posters/moviemarket-nick-nolte-photograph-1.jpg" alt="Potential Buyers, Locations for St. Louis Rams | New City Possible for Rams" width="157" height="190" />I checked my checking account this morning and I am a wee bit short of their last Forbes value report <a href="http://www.forbes.com/lists/2008/30/sportsmoney_nfl08_St-Louis-Rams_307693.html" target="_blank">($979 million)</a>.<span> </span>But the thing about finding the best offer to buy the 60 percent majority from Rosenbloom and Rodriguez is that keeping the team in St. Louis is no longer a priority. It was priority when Rosenbloom himself first floated the â€œopen to offersâ€ idea to only St. Louis based investors. But G-Sachs nullifies that because &#8220;<em>ITâ€™S ALL ABOUT MONEY! GOD DAMN MONEY!&#8221;</em></span><span> as coach <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-m-_Kh9XPE" target="_blank">Pete Bell</a> said in <em>Blue Chips</em></span><span>.<span> </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have been a fan of the Rams since they were in Los Angeles and now in St. Louis, so I donâ€™t really care if they move cities. As long as they donâ€™t move to a random place that I hate (i.e. Ann Arbor, Chicagoâ€™s yuppie North side, Celebration Florida, or any where in Tennessee) while changing the team nickname and colors. I mean how could I even convince myself to still be a fan at that point? If I could get someone at G-Sachs to invest my checking account in the stock market and multiply it by 979 million, I would choose LA (yes, Iâ€˜m a double stack and frosty away from an overdraft fee). This also got me thinking what random possibilities are there?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span><strong><img class="alignright" style="float: right; border: 2px solid black; margin: 2px;" src="http://www.rams4life.com/images/LosAngelesRams.gif" alt="Potential Buyers, Locations for St. Louis Rams | New City Possible for Rams" width="200" height="60" />Los Angeles Rams</strong></span><span> &#8211; This is the best-case scenario if you ask me. I know LA isnâ€™t â€œrandomâ€ but a Hollywood big wig buying the team majority would be. Imagine Jack Nicholson owning the team and living out of a tinted window luxury box. A sex tape would surely surface on the Internet and on DVD before Week 3 and he could get his return on the investment before week 17. â€œViagra Stadiumâ€ would also help his investment and help the possibilities of said sex tape. Yes, I would still be a fan if they changed their name to the L.A. 4-Hour Boners. There are some hilarious possibilities of things to give out to the first 10,000 fans at the door, but lets move on.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span><strong><img class="alignright" style="border: 2px solid black; float: right; margin: 2px;" src="http://www.hitsusa.com/1-good-ones/simon-cowell-ryan-seacrest-gay.jpg" alt="Potential Buyers, Locations for St. Louis Rams | New City Possible for Rams" width="120" height="160" />London Rams</strong></span><span> â€“ The NFL has leaked interest in putting a team over seas and scheduling the one game a year there has added to this interest. That would definitely open the door to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEfoqoMa6Co&amp;feature=related" target="_blank">Simon Cowell</a> being owner/head coach. The pro is the funniest post-game tirades since <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWqQypkYmfY" target="_blank">Jim Mora</a> got the boot from Indianapolis. The con is the nightmare that Ryan Seacrest would be saturating himself into NFL Sundays. Never mind, Fox already did that. The con would actually be Amy Winehouse would shag the whole team. This would birth the most herpes infested locker room ever and make the Cleveland Browns staph infection problem look healthy. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span><strong><img class="alignleft" style="float: right; border: 2px solid black; margin: 2px;" src="http://collateraldamage.files.wordpress.com/2007/10/cubs.jpg" alt="Potential Buyers, Locations for St. Louis Rams | New City Possible for Rams" width="145" height="142" />North Chicago Lovable Losers</strong></span><span> â€“ This is the worst-case scenario and I would NOT be a fan. Though <a href="http://www.midwestsportsfans.com/2009/05/video-carlos-zambrano-ejection-outburst-pirates-memphis-violations-sat-derrick-rose/" target="_blank">Carlos Zambrano</a> could be an awesome Ray Lewis style LB with that â€œmean streakâ€ everyone talks about. If the team were made up of all Cubs players they would have to forfeit all their games coinciding with baseball season but at least it would be guaranteed they could start their season before October. With an early bye week they would only start 0-3 at the very worst. Playing on Wrigley Field would save the owner money; it would be reason number 4,807 why I would adopt a new favorite NFL team, and one more reason for the yuppies to get hammered drunk on the rooftops. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span><strong><img class="alignright" style="float: right; border: 2px solid black; margin: 2px;" src="http://37prime.com/podcast/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/reno911_miami.jpg" alt="Potential Buyers, Locations for St. Louis Rams | New City Possible for Rams" width="176" height="250" />Las Vegas Rams</strong></span><span> â€“ The NFL could steal the NBAâ€™s random idea to put a team in Vegas, baby, so why not? How <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">slutty</span> hot would the cheerleaders be? The field goal uprights would save money on stripper poles for them right? So many questions would be answered week one at halftime and depending on your personal interests, the entertainment would never get old. And never get televised for that matter. I could see horse track style betting vendors outside the stadium making it the best place to tailgate in the NFLâ€¦EVER. Our very own <a href="http://www.midwestsportsfans.com/author/BetOnline/" target="_blank">BetOnline</a> writer could sponsor the stadium as well. Not that Las Vegas needs any help but this would add another great attraction to the city. I myself would like to see the <em>Reno 911!</em></span><span> actors serve as stadium security, in character. The over under on them accidentally shooting a fan, player, or themselves during a game would be the second home game. I say under.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Obviously at this point the Rams moving out of St. Louis is a larger possibility than them staying or else a St. Louis investor (Budweiser) would have already made a significant offer. But maybe this will bring them to the table now that there is no longer the stipulation that a buyer needs to keep the team in town. Either way, I like the possible scenarios. Except the North Chicago scenario of course. </span></p>
