It’s not even smack talk, really. But the media and papers love to blow a situation like this out of shape, so I figure I’ll do the same.
With the Florida/LSU game looming this weekend, and possible National Title hopes on the line (for LSU, anyway; you generally kiss away any hopes of that when you lose to Ole’ Miss), what’s at stake isn’t enough. So now some LSU guys are talking, and they’re saying if they get a shot at Tim Tebow, they’re taking him out.
“If we get a good shot on [Tebow], we’re going to try our best to take him out of the game,” Jean-Francois said. “With his size and his heart, it’s hard to get a clean shot.”
When asked how Tebow might deal with the pain of the perfect LSU hit, Jean-Francois said, “If he does get hurt, there’s a trained medical staff at Florida, so you can go to the training room on Sunday.”
And Tebow thought circumsizing small children in other countries looked painful.

It appears that Jean-Francois has stepped over the imaginary smack talking line when he predicts injury on Tebow. I like the fire within the kid but saying he will take a shot at Tebow if he gets the chance. It seems to me that he is just setting himself up for numerous personal fouls and costing his team precious yards.
