Tim Tebow ignores Brady Quinn’s slights while serving as dream date [chaperone] for 9-year-old
Yahoo ^ | 2/23/12 | Cameron Smith

Posted on 02/23/2012 7:58:49 PM PST by DemforBush

In recent days, comments putting Tim Tebow under friendly fire were released, with Broncos backup quarterback Brady Quinn, questioning Tebow's public displays of faith in an interview with Yahoo! Sports' own Michael Silver (and then swiftly apologizing for those very comments). So many have wondered why Tebow didn't speak up about the scathing commentary from a teammate. It turns out there's a good reason for that: He was preoccupied fulfilling the dream of a 9-year-old with a severe tumor disorder...

Tebow is just pure class, on or off the field. What a nice thing to do for a sick little kid!

Just got a Tebow Topps RC, 2010. Also some Quinn cards. Think I’ll rip up the Quinn cards, or put them in a special holder for aholes.

Class, not dumbass.

Tebow’s also got a lot of guts and talent. We wish him well.

Quinn is a piece of crap, and he sucks.

If you suck like him, you shouldn’t be running your mouth at all.

Tebow wins games. Quinn? Not. So. Much.

I have been so hard on this guy for his on-the-field performance because I think he’s a very overrated QB, but there’s no question that he is 100% pure class, and one of the best role models any youngster could ask for.

Bought myself Tebow Signed photo. Hope he does good next year. He is a gift from god in more ways then one. One for being a miracle baby and second for opening peoples eyes to a good christian role model.

Not only that, but approx. 2 weeks ago I saw him in an interview where he said they’ve been working on his throwing motion, etc. No vanity, no bluster; just a detertmination to admit any areas that need work, and to go about correcting them.

It turns out there's a good reason for that:

The "date" occurred and was reported before Quinn's comments became public. Silver gives no indication that he sought out Tebow for comment before this went public.

Yes Sir! Amen & Amen!

MORE POWER TO TEBOW! GODLY POWER, THAT IS!

“Let everything that hath breath praise the LORD; Praise the Lord!” (Psalm 150:6)

This fall may he go to:(John 3:17) “For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world may be saved through.” (John 3:17)

Tebow won’t give up. He will work at something until he succeeds...

A class act will always be worth more than a signed photo, though I wouldn’t mind have one of Tebow.

Now you’ve got both. That’s cool.

I hope Tebow stays with the Broncos. I like cheering for Tebow and it makes it easier if he is on my team. Go Broncos!

Embarassing as a Catholic Brady Quinn went to Notre Dame and seemed to have learned nothing about being a Christian.
