NBA star Dwight Howard is expecting his fifth baby, reported Black Media Scoop on April 23. Sources say that Howard already has four children with four different women, although he has remained quite mum on the baby situation, trying instead to focus attention on his NBA basketball career with the LA Lakers.
The news that Howard is expecting yet another child surprises some fans, as he has long professed his Christian faith, pledging to "raise the name of God within the league and throughout the world." This leaves some fans wondering whether multiple children from different mothers runs contrary to his professed Christian values.
The 28-year-old LA Lakers basketball star was drafted in 2004 by the Orlando Magic. He was traded to the LA Lakers in 2012 and has been working to carve out a niche for himself amongst several superstars on the team, including Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol. Howard has admitted the need to get into better shape and has publicly acknowledged attempts to do that.

Tebow isn’t a tight end and will never be a half back. Just because you have size and some foot speed doesn’t give you the ability to recognize zone coverages, change blocking schemes and CATCH the ball in traffic.
He played quarterback. He played well enough with crappy play calls to win several games and beat the Steelers. He has as many playoff wins as Romo and will never be given a chance unless he screws some women(or men) smokes some chronic or kills some dogs.
He won some games. He did everything they asked him to do and still he won’t get a shot to even back up some of the current run and gun quarterbacks. “too much baggage”.
This all goes back to the pro life Super Bowl ad. I called that he would never be allowed to play in the NFL. I was wrong about the never but the lib’s greatest fear is if he gets another starting shot and does well.
Have you ever seen or heard this much criticism of any rookie quarterback? I mean the endless pundit after pundit on ESPN and other related media, still he just keeps on plugging along.
‘because he is lacks the skill set to be an effective NFL quarterback.’
So I guess then that the only time he was allowed to start and play he took a team to the playoffs, that was a fluke?He took a less talented Broncos team farther in the playoffs than Peyton did last year.
Truth is, Tebow is a fantastic athlete. What the Jets did last year to Tebow was criminal. Why has no team picked him up yet has nothing to do with his ability to play quarterback.
You are Right On. Tim is a winner and always will be.
He has that fire in the belly to WIN.
Duh...
well....at least he likes wimmin !
Yes what the Jets did with Tebow was inexcusable.
Yes Tebow is a winner and a fantastic athlete..
No it is Tebows insistence on playing QB that is his biggest roadblock, You guys are wrong about this but that is okay. Everyone is wrong about stuff sometimes.
The messenger may be a sinner, but that does not diminish the message.
A fullback sized running back who is a threat to throw makes defenses adjust their coverages. That opens opportunities for the offense.
An NFL team would have to completely restructure their offense because Tebow doesn't throw very well. Few top wide receivers would want to play on a Tebow-led offense. QBs take a pounding. If TT goes down with a serious injury his team would have to restructure its offense again until he comes back.
You can bet if TT were as great as some claim, if he were able to direct an NFL team with even average results he would be playing somewhere. NFL is a results based business. Success will trump declarations of faith every time.
I don't claim to know how God works, but IMHO perhaps it is in His plan to teach Tebow a little humility.
Actually Deion Sanders and Michael Irvin were both big Tebow supporters over on the NFL network.
I’m curious to see what these women look like.
He is still 3 illegitimate behind fellow “Black Christian Athlete” Evander Holyfield
Howard scrued Orlando..now ready to scrue Lakers
Anyone watch the last pass Peyton Manning threw in the playoff loss to Baltimore last season.... where he barely got the ball to the line of scrimmage and it got picked....loses any “Tebow arm too weak for NFL” argument.
He got run out of the league.
And after either his manager steals his cash or he blows his cash on giant houses, flashy cars and 3000 dollar bottles of booze, we will end up paying for them thru welfare, food stamps and other programs because his dumb ass will be broke.
