Clark Kent

Tonight, around the fifth minute of the oral Tim Tebow hagiography in the second half, one of the broadcasters mentioned that, although some people doubt Tebow's accuracy, "he makes throws when it counts."

Being a bigger fan of logic than sports-related pabulum, I noticed that this was essentially the same thing that's often said pejoratively about Allen Iverson, Randy Moss ("I play when I want to play."), and any number of less hallowed athletes. Whether "clutch" athletes definitely exist is debatable, but perhaps also up for question is, if they're real, aren't they just super-talented slackers who ought to be able to play a lot harder the rest of the time?
