Tim Tebow was Tebowed in one of the more memorable moments in taunting history.
In a act that surely will be talked about across the country for a while, Detroit’s Stephen Tulloch sacked Tim Tebow and then got down on one knee in front of the Denver quarterback.

I would never do either.
“In the past, Tebow has done the very same thing after throwing a touchdown pass.
Why would there be a payback for Tulloch?”
—
Because it was an “in your face” gesture. Should I spell that slower for you?
Neither of us have any idea of if Tulloch was or was not praying.
As for taunting, taunting takes place on almost every play in an NFL game.
Would you like the NFL to pass a rule that states that “Tim Tebow of the Denver Broncos may not be taunted?”
The low-life Lions are mocking him and Christianity. Wise up. Your comments are not really appreciated.
Would you like to ban all mocking, taunting and trash talking on an NFL field?
Having been on the sidelines of a few NFL games, I can tell you that mocking, taunting and trash talking occurs on almost every play.
You remind me of that little weasel at work that just loves Obama regardless of anything. No Core, No Values, No Belief, No Life. Might as well be a grapefruit and be done with it.
You’ll see Tebow take a stand, exercise his prerogative as regards his faith, but you won’t see him being an Ahole.
No, I simply do not believe that Tim Tebow should be granted special protections, protections that are not granted to other NFL players.
Actually, the only thing that matters is how well Tebow plays the game.
He will not get tackled more gently because of his faith.
Defenders will not refuse to intercept his passes because of his faith.
Referees will not give him touchdowns because of his faith.
And opposing players will not refuse to taunt him because of his faith.
Freedom of speech, expression, or religion is not a “special” protection. If the practice interferes with the game you have a point, otherwise you have no valid point. Get over your malignant self.
Oh paleeese... done now?
And FReepers will really not care what Tim Tebow does after a play, or where he points to. Thank God you were not around to attack Ruth or Gehrig. Your annoying.
Tebow= a total joke.
Beating the dolphins makes him a good qb? I think not.
Go dawgs! Go falcons!!!!!!
Mathew 6
1 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.
2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:
4 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.
5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
There is no freedom of speech in the NFL and that is why players and coaches have been fined for saying things that were not palatable to the NFL executives.
If players want to get down on one knee and pray or even bow towards Mecca in the middle of a game, I imagine the NFL is not going to do all that much about it.
If Tebow is like any other football player who played ball in college or the NFL he has heard other players tell him what they wanted to do with his mother, sister and girlfriend and he has likely been called names that would question his sexuality.
Taunting is simply part of the game and posters on this thread are likely more bent out of shape about this one incident than Tim Tebow.
Does Tebow also play defense for the Broncos?
I suggest you sue them for invocation or allegiance to the United States under which “IN GOD WE TRUST”. Moron
BS Tulloch. It was complete disrespect and you know it. It is one thing to taunt and show up your opponent after a play. It is a much more cowardly thing to lie about it afterward rather than manning up and admitting it.
I’m just looking at your posts. I could care less about the game. You have a hell bend to offend people that have a relationship with Jesus Christ and oddly you find that amusing. You seem to be void of real life.
