I gotta disagree. Both came about and where driven the same way. Tebow didn't just become the story it was because of the fans and then ESPN just happened to follow along. There was a day that ESPN did a count and Tebow was said on the network like 65 times in an hour.
You can't have watched ESPN during the Tebow hype and not seen that ESPN was loving it and pushing it as hard as possible.
