Hotair is pretty much a liberal site.
You had guys like Kurt Warner who were very devote Christians and they didn’t get this kind of flak because...how do I put it?
Matthew 6:5. Apparently Tebow never read that.
Show me where “this too shall pass” appears in the bible.
It's so nice having a college coaching staff that encourages prayer!
Mark Bavaro never got mocked for taking a knee and Crossing himself. Maybe it was the likelihood of getting steam rolled on the next series that prevented that.
Tim Tebows teammates respect him, as do a lot of former players who are Christians (Deion Sanders and Michael Irvin, in particular).
I don’t know about Irvin. He made a lot of fun of Tebow on the NFL network yesterday. It was sickening. The man must be angry at G-d
Got’cha...thanx
There have been vocal Christian NFL players before (e.g., Kurt Warner, Reggie White et al.). All the hate directed at Tim Tebow has less to do with Christianity per se than it has to do with the pro-life Super Bowl ad that he did two years ago. He’s been a marked man ever since. The left can forgive sideline praying. They can’t forgive pro-life activism.
If the season ended today, the Broncos hold all the tie-breakers for the division and wild card spots.
Before the game on Sunday, a reporter asked Tebow if he would be on the team next year (becasuse he is not your typical pro-style QB) and his response was “I don’t know what the future holds but I do know who holds my future”
When Tebow took over the Broncos were 1-4 and going nowhere fast since then they’ve gone 6-1. Now that’s a miracle. As a Bronco fan from birth I was expecting this team would go 4-12, 6-10 at best if they got some lucky bounces. They could easily finish 10-6 (CHI,NE,@BUF,KC)
Just goes to show that the Lord answers prayer!

I remember GB QB Aaron Rodgers giving a shout out to Butte Community College where he went after he got no Division 1 scholarship offers (and then went on to Cal) It’s just more of the hip-hop culture trying to be different.
I personally don’t think it’s a bad thing they’re just giving respect where respect is due. Maybe their HS coach saved them from a life of drugs and gangs.
Speaking of motives...did you notice that on every close play where a replay for Denver could have been called, the play was never re-played for the audience/Bronco’s review people, thus nothing was challenged. Every time there was a questionable out of bounds or fumble issue, the network played it over giving time for the Vikings crew to challenge the play and it worked! I thought the referees did a one sided job yesterday as well. In spite of all of this Tebow and the Broncos won.
Tebow is leading by example. After yesterday’s game, the coach, John Fox, began his first answer, “Thank the Lord...”
Some smart coach is going to pull a “George Allen” and grab the unappreciated Tim Tebow as his 4th Quarter “relief quarterback”. I fondly remember the days when the ‘Skins would trot out Billy Kilmer to bore the death out of the opposing defense, then trot out the ageless Sonny Jurgensen for some late-game heroics. Fun Stuff!
Why not capitalize on Tebow’s proven ability to pull-off comebacks?
I used to be on the fence about Tebow. He didn’t play for my favorite college or pro team so I didn’t care about him.
But I’m starting to like Tebow because he is annoying all the right people. For example, liberals and so called football experts in the media. So I say go Tim! Hope the Broncos make the Super Bowl. I would love to see the media meltdown if Denver gets into the Super Bowl. I get a smile on my face just thinking about it.
I watched NFL Network yesterday and saw Irvin give Tebow nothing but respect, including praising him for being an outspoken Christian.
Not sure what you saw, but it was obvious to me that Irvin admires and believes in Tebow.
