“Well, I sit back and smile a lot just ‘cuz ... I smile,” Tebow responded, with his reflexive grin. “I continually try to smile a lot.”

...boy, do secular, America hating Marxists hate people who are happy!

We need to pray for this young man daily. We need to pray for Gods Guidance. He has a target on his back from a wretched America that no longer appears to care. I pray he does not succumb to the pressures wicked folks will put on him and I hope his faith prevails.

John Elway struggled for years under a coach that misunderstood him. I suppose Elway is doing some advising. Tebow and Broncos are both in a learning curve and things could get quite a lot better.

I’ll share that prayer. What an inspiration that young man is, may God Bless him always, and his parents who did a wonderful job in raising this young man. BRAVO well done.

The scum went after Reggie White the same way!

Tim,
All the best in your NFL career, but please consider running for public office later. We need more politicians with souls and integrity.

And don't they have much about which to be unhappy these days.

He’s on my family’s prayer list. (And we do confess to somewhat enjoying the teeth-gnashing consternation of the “experts” who say he can’t play QB in the NFL.)

If you look at the recent history of college and professional sports in Colorado, you will find that they really don't want to hear from Christians there.
Bill McCartney gave Colorado it's first national college football championship and was chased out of town for being too Christian.
Now they are after Tebow. My guess is his tenure in Denver will be limited, but like Doug Flutie, will be a force in a more religious part of the nation. Green Bay? Boston?

It will be interesting to see if the Jaguars, who just got a new owner (who is a Muzzie from Pakistan originally), will go after Tebow. He certainly is probably the only player who will sell a lot of season tickets in Jax. Will Denver try to deal Tebow, at a time they figure his trade value will never be higher?

Thank you for posting that. I have been saying the same to my circle of friends both here and from Denver. I also pray for him for the inevitable mis-step, loss, or honest mistake.

Regards,

TS

I am not sure he is eligible to be a Pro Football QB. JK

This godly young man is an example to young Christians. With humility and good humor he is living his faith in an ungodly world. And the ungodly hate a happy Christian, who loves Jesus more than the opinion of the ungodly. By watching him, they see their own failings, and they are determined to make him fall to their level.

Yes, he should have our prayers, as all young Christians should have our prayers for steadfastness in the faith in this evil age.

Speaking as a Denver Bronco season ticket holder since 1977 I can assure you, as things stand now, that Timmy Tebow isn't going anywhere soon. He has regenerated Bronco fan enthusiasm that hasn't been seen in these parts for over a decade. The suits upstairs at Dove Valley (Bronco headquarters & training facility) wouldn't dare release Tebow ... it would be a PR debacle.

Teammates and opposing players alike say what a great leader Tebow is. Coaches will knock his play but admit that Tebow has *it*, the football mind and persona that finds a way to win.

Football is Tebow’s life but Jesus Christ is his passion. I, for one, cannot see how that makes this amazing young man a lightning rod for criticism.

He's already involved in getting a hospital built in the Philippines where his folks were missionaries.

Excellent to hear that. Always wondered about the Denver fans. Thanks for posting.

I can't believe the dumbasses at Jacksonville didn't see this. Or if they did they are even bigger dumbasses and passed on it.

Prayer pings to this outstanding young man! No one works harder on the field or off for his fellow man. We gladly would take him from the Broncos and have him lead the Redskins.
