Do you dislike ESPN? Do you despise Skip Bayless? Do you wish you could go five minutes without having to hear the name Tim Tebow? Then you're going to love the piece that Deadspinwriter John Koblin just did called "How ESPN Ditched Journalism And Followed Skip Bayless To The Bottom: A Tim Tebow Story." Essentially, it's an indictment against ESPN's constant coverage of Tebowmania. And, at the same time, it's intended to help you understand how and why ESPN has gone so damn hard with the Tebow coverage across all of its platforms (the simple answer: It's good, no, make that great for ratings, people!).

As you'll find out once you read the piece, you're also not the only one who is tired of the Tebow coverage. Some ESPN staffers are, too. So, if you're not completely Tebow-ed out at this point, give it a read over here. It might—emphasis on "might"—make you look at ESPN, Skip Bayless, and Tim Tebow a little bit differently than you do right now.
