It's the afternoon show that has everyone talking. Welcome back to JNR on Houston's Sports Leader, Sports Radio 610. Alright, so you know that I'm not really a political guy and I've acknowledged this and I've never voted in a presidential election. I think that's going to change this year. I've told you that I'm just uneducated in a lot of this stuff and I'm not going to vote for something if I don't know what each guy really stands for. I'm not just going to throw a dart against a board and say, hey, let's see what happens. You know, that's not my style. I think it's better to just not vote than vote for somebody based on what they look like or something if you don't know what they stand for.

Hogwash, go ahead. Oh, no, no, I'm, would you rather, okay, let me ask you this. Would you rather somebody vote who has no clue what either person's vote, what anybody, you know, is standing for, what their stances are politically, just because, hey, I'm going to vote for this guy because he's a black guy. I'm going to vote for this guy because he looks cool in a suit, you know? I'd rather you take 15 minutes out of your day every day to read up on them than form your own opinion. And I'm working on that, okay?

15 minutes a day. That's all you need. And with that said, I really dig Ron Paul. Ron Paul is like this cult figure now, this cult hero, this 76-year-old guy. He's awesome. I'll vote for him. There you go. Ron Paul's my guy, okay?

But Tim Tebow, who has been the biggest story in the universe for about two months, that bubble has burst lately because they're losing and he's becoming less interesting as he completes fewer passes for fewer yards.

First there was Rick Perry in the Sioux City-Iowa debate last December, a few weeks ago I should say. He actually compared himself to Tim Tebow. And you know, there are a lot of people out there, I understand it, you know, there are

a lot of folks that said Tim Tebow wasn't going to be a very good NFL quarterback. There are people that stood up and said, well, he doesn't have the right throwing mechanisms or he's not playing the game right. And he won two national championships and that looked pretty good. We were the national champions in job creation back in Texas. And so, but am I ready for the next level? Let me tell you, I hope I am the Tim Tebow of the Iowa caucuses. Well technically you are because you were pretty much lost. 10% of the vote is what he had and I think he came in fifth right out of those. He was behind like Santorum and Mitt Romney and even behind my boy Ron Paul who's fighting

the good fight. And then Michelle Bachman, her political ad that she launched a week or two ago, might not have even been a week ago, a last ditch effort to drum up support before the Iowa caucuses, she channels Timothy. What do Tim Tebow and Michelle Bachman have in common? Well at first glance you might say nothing, but look a little deeper. The establishment sports guys just love to hate Tim Tebow. He's not smart enough, his mechanics are no good, he's not accurate enough, still he just te...

Hold on a second, chill out for a second. Has anybody ever said Tim Tebow is not smart no I've never heard anybody say let me tell you something that guy he's a dumbass they reserved that for Cam Newton yeah exactly and I think and we probably know why you know if you ever want to do radio and Baton Rouge which I don't suggest you'd be amazed by the people that call the radio show and say he ain't got it between the years if he's a black quarterback. Well I was thinking because the whole John Gruden deal and when he said call out a play by the Auburn they give their plays by number and everybody took it and ran with it. All right so go ahead and continue rolling that uh Michelle Bachman audio. Maybe they're so invested in his failure because he

makes them all feel guilty he doesn't drink smoke cuss or even kick his opponents when they're on the ground. Okay hold on now hold on now a commercial this is a political ad for Michelle Bachman or Tim Tebow well she's comparing herself to Tim Tebow I guess when they produced this okay they were you know he was winning and now he's lost three in a row but I like how they throw a jab where they take a shot and in Damocon sue like it's like you know it's like I don't kick any players when they're on the ground. I didn't catch that. Yes All right. Continue rolling the audio Benny boy. He doesn't drink smoke cuss or even kick his opponents when they're on the ground He has no baggage and oh, yeah, he's a born-again Christian

Key that's a key now because Michelle Bachman, of course is a born-again Christian I suppose if that's what they have in common like she's going to say. So obviously a born again Christian not only makes you a great athlete that everybody should admire but it also makes you somebody who's worthy of being the president. Notice how in the first like how many seconds have we listened to about 15, 20 seconds of this you don't hear anything about what she believes politically, what she's going to change, how she's going to make your life better. She's just comparing herself

to Tim Tebow. Continue. No baggage, Christian, and like Tebow, she keeps fighting and she just keeps winning votes. She won the Iowa Straw Poll. Hold on now! She keeps fighting and keeps winning just like Tim Tebow. And this is kind of ironic because by the time this came out, Tim Tebow was no longer winning. And today we find out that Michelle Bachman, who got mauled in Iowa, is dropping out of the race. Well, at least Tebow's still in the fight.

She quit. Tebow sells a game to play. All right, continue. She won the Iowa Straw Poll, had a series of great debate performances, and in the last few weeks has been climbing in the polls in Iowa. Still, the establishment just loves to hate Michelle Bachman and her no-compromise, no-flip-flop stand on the issues. But come January 3rd, you and I can send a real message to the establishment rhinos in the GOP. Sure would be fun to send Michelle Bachman out of Iowa with a win because she'd make a great president and just to see the look on their faces.

Notice how in that 60 second political ad she just compared herself to Tim Tebow who's the flavor of the week, flavor of the month, flavor of the year, right? Never said anything about what she's going to do to change the world for you. How she's gonna better your world. How you know when you wake up in the morning you won't be worried about things, you know, how things are going to be fixed. Are you going to get the guys, you know, you're going to bring the troops home. What are you going to do for the economy? None of that, it's, boy let me tell you something, I'm Michelle Bachman.

I'm a born-again Christian and much like Tim Tebow, we're mediocre and they're somehow relevant. Hi, I'm Michelle Bachman, I approve this message. But it sure would be fun to see her win, Josh. Come on. Exactly. It sure would be fun to send Michelle Bachman out of Iowa with a win because she'd make a great president. What a boob.

I like how they got the Smucker's Jelly Guy to narrate this ad as well. Don't forget about the background music. With a name like Michelle Bachman, it has to be good. Give me a break. That's an insult to the masses. What's that? Everything you say, you were dead on. She doesn't talk about, and let's not get too political,

but she doesn't talk about anything, her stance, what she's gonna do about the war, what she's gonna do about the economy. She's just comparing herself to the flavor of the month, and they think that the masses are that stupid, that they're gonna run. Some are. I hope not.

She did get, what was her percentage? Well, she dropped out, so it didn't work. But my boy Ron Paul's gonna do something. My boy Ron Paul's gonna, now he'll shock the world, okay? Now I was thinking about this. If I'm gonna try to build my image up, because there are a lot of people that don't like me around here and they think I'm a scumbag and that's fine. Why don't I put together a political ad in which I compare myself to Tim Tebow? What do Tim Tebow and Josh Innis have in common? Well, at first glance you might say nothing. But look a little deeper.

Both can't throw a deep out both have superiors that want them fired both have circumcised children on mission trips well wait a minute that has to be a typo both were virgins well into their 20s. Huh? Really, Josh? Vote Josh Innis for whatever he's running for because even he has a better chance of beating the Steelers than Tim Tebow. A paid political announcement provided by the JNR Show. Or maybe just Jay. Thank you very much.

Vote for me. I don't know what the hell I'm running for. But vote for me because whatever I'm running for, if I throw Tim Tebow in there, I think I got a shot, right? You know, but it just, it makes me laugh when the two people that have hitched their wagons to Tim Tebow, I don't know if it's ironic, I don't know if that's what you'd call it, but the two people who use Tim Tebow to try to bolster their support, one of them's out of the race, right? And one of them's pretty much out of the race, right? And one of them's pretty much out of the race. I mean, Rick Perry has no shot. He just doesn't acknowledge that

he needs to quit. That's what you call a Hail Mary. It was a desperation move by two people that were desperate, so they were hoping that the masses would be dumb enough to just fall for that. But they had to know that wasn't going to work. Ben, get the Rick Perry audio again. I know that's a few weeks old, but get Rick Perry comparing himself to Tim Tebow. Play that. And you know, there are a lot of people out there, I understand it, you know, there are

a lot of folks that said Tim Tebow wasn't going to be a very good NFL quarterback. There are people that stood up and said, well, he doesn't have the right throwing mechanisms or he doesn't... Hold on now. The right throwing mechanisms. I don't think that's what he meant. Evidently, Tim Tebow is one of the seven simple machines. He didn't have the right throwing mechanisms. He's a trebuchet now, apparently. Continue running that audio of Rick Perry

talking about the throwing mechanisms, etc. And, you know, he won two national championships, and that looked pretty good. We were the national champions in job creation back in Texas. And so, but am I ready for the next level? Let me tell you, I hope I am the Tim Tebow of the Iowa caucuses. And you were. Congratulations. You, sir, finished with 10% and Ron Paul, who's 120 and badass, beat you. He doubled you is what he did and and Michelle Bachmann she gone. She's just out. She's like you know what guys? No moss. You know what's gonna happen now they're gonna make millions writing a book. Oh absolutely. You know who needs to write a book? A tell-all, a truthful tell-all book? Who's that? Herman Cain. That would be awesome. So this one time I was in the back room of

the Godfathers and she I swear she said yes and oh it'd be a great story. Yeah it
