Very well said.

Imho, Tim Tebow is a great example of what a pro sports athlete should be - humble, hard working, talented, giving, caring and generous.

Sometimes people like to tear down people who are good - it is the insecurity and self-loathing in themselves that makes them lash out at people that they perceive deep down inside who are better than themselves. Just look at what people did to Jesus - it’s encapsulated all right there.

I can’t wait until George Will becomes the late great George Will

If your post was ever to pass under his eye, George would respond

- "Hey bigblob, I can't wait until you make your BIG exit."

You are correct and as you know Tebow led Florida to 2 national championships, won the Heisman and was a 1st round draft pick in 2010.

Brady rode the bench as Brian Griese led Michigan to a share of the national championship in 1997 and was a 6th round draft pick in 2000.

All of the scouting reports said that Brady wouldn’t make it in the NFL....well he sure showed them.

That’s why Brady emphasizes with Tebow.

He is polarizing.

Decent people are on his side and creeps hate him.

The country is polarized.

That should be “empathizes.”

Look at the post just before yours. This is an example of how to respond to people in a respectable manner. He addressed the same issue as you but didn’t insult his intended recipient.

You are a long timer here and I know it gets frustrating to deal with the same stuff over and over, but I submit to you “composure first substance next” is a good rule to follow until your grave.

Decent people are fewer and fewer because laws don’t recompense victims. Evil men are therefore not in any way discouraged from the evil that they do.

They had to point out the obvious...he was a black quarterback.

Don't watch much football or other sports, but I think it's because of the search for The Great Black (QB) Hope.

Glad to hear it.
And now for NEXT Sunday.....if the Pats play next week like they did Saturday evening, and if the Ravens don’t play any better than they did today, the Pats are going to put a SERIOUS hurtin’ on the birds!

Do a little reading about Brady. There was an article last week about how the Pats prep for playoffs. They are fanatical. They are focused. And they want to win.

It wasn’t about Tebow. They would have been viscious with any team.

The media made up all of this crap. Tebow is a kid. He will be a very exciting qb when he is a little older and they have a better team around him.

The Pats don’t preen. At least not until February.
