Texas Tech DB Tyler Owens says he doesn't believe in space

"I'm like real religious..." Why does religion always end up being a synonym for ignorance and stupidity.

Concussion and head injury are a serious problem in Football today, so this tracks.

It's almost like "college football" doesn't involve any education

This is what happens when you push someone through the higher education complex on a sports scholarship...

What an idiot, especially when he blames his ignorance on his religious and political stances.

Also dumb, saying this to a newspaper formerly conceived of, headquartered, and printed in the same county that launches the most stuff to space, Brevard county Florida, aka the Space Coast, where you can see stuff being launched to space almost daily, ans almost from any part of the county, including from my backyard pool.

We need way more pushback against people spouting this level of ignorance.

Why are we considering the view points of 19-20 year olds who happen to play a sport?

When I was 19-20 and smart enough not to play a sport that scrambles your brain, I did not get a news article in the national press reporting that I did believe in space.

America worships the wrong people.

“Im real religious” , is not an excuse to ignore scientific fact.

"The sky is the limit"

Shows what a degree from Texas Tech is worth.

Then how does Tyler explain Space Jam? Check mate atheists!

Can someone buy him a telescope or something? Damn, you can actually see space and planets with your own eyes if you don't believe it....

Gotta love the marriage between tramatic brain injuries and an under funded education system.

the fact that this is a story is a better criticism of our media than anything anyone could make up

Just because you are highly skilled at something doesn’t make you intelligent or smart.

This is what happens to people who get their brains bashed in for a living. 

Doesn't this just tell us something about his university? They are obviously not doing that much in the way of teaching their football players.

I wonder if it hurts to be that dumb.

Biggest arms I’ve ever seen on a database, that’s for sure.

That's OK Tyler, Space believes in you

This will reflect poorly on his application to NASA.

Instead of making fun of him, NASA should fund a trip for him to go to the ISS and he should livestream the whole thing to instagram.

I don't believe there is anything in the space between his ears.

Does anyone else find it weird that he knows the word heliocentric?

Does he believe all matter exists at a single point?

So did he buy a house that was like, 20 square feet?

“Yeah… I don’t believe in space. This is good.”

Just don't ask him who he thinks is behind the conspiracy😬

How did he pass any of his science courses?

I guess it’s a good thing his chosen profession doesn’t require intelligence.

Texas Tech? Checks out.

Me thinks this is the effect of too much head trauma.

Texas. It's what we said it was.

Man got pokemon and concussions mixed up and tried to catch them all

Remember, he's a college student.

ain't gotta have the smarts to play the foosball

This guy's ignorance probably extends to not knowing anything about Buzz Aldrin's religious communion on the Moon.

There is no such thing as space all the planets are just bunched up together you can walk to Mars. It's all the conspiracy by big NASA.

Remember to reach for the stars because the stars don't have arms to reach for you!

Don't look up!

I volunteer him for the Mars colony.

Oh no, he figured out the sky is just a crusty jpeg!

Deploy the Illuminati agents.

Well he obviously wasn't picked for his intellect.

Some people just shouldn't be part of society.

I don't know anything about American football, or baseball and I guess DB doesn't mean database.

He surely won't mind if we shoot him into the outer part of "that in which he doesn't believe" then.

Dont hold it against him, this rambling wreck might make a heck of an engineer someday.

This dumb muthafucka needs to get Hitchslapped.

Seems to have a lot of head space

This is not even the craziest thing someone said on my front page.

Hope he becomes pro and makes a bunch of money. Otherwise, this dude is in trouble.

He should be playing Krikkit
