Has “pearls before swine” ever been more aptly illustrated?

a jackass like this reproter might look at another beliving QB - Kurt Warner, he did OK as a man with faith who came back again and again.

Personally, I think a lot of the criticism of Tebow is justified. Not so much the criticism of his faith, but the criticism of the way his religious presence seems to have completely masked his lack of talent as an NFL quarterback.

The Denver Broncos didn't draft him in the first round a couple of years ago to be the team minister . . . they drafted him to be their future starting quarterback. And that just ain't happening, folks.

I think most of the criticism of Teebow has been fair. However, I think he will get better.

“He’ll make it in this league – for the Bible tells him so,” Doyel remarked. “From the outside it looks like Tebow equates his love for God in heaven with tangible rewards here on earth. And that’s more than wrong. It’s blasphemy.”

Is anyone really shocked to find an unbeliever thinking and acting like an unbeliever?

He has the wrong skin color to receive religious tolerance from the paparazzi press.

The first step in this controversy is to teach these intolerant, uneducated folks 2nd grade English. The difference of

FREEDOM OF RELIGION

VERSUS

FREEDOM FROM RELIGION.

Of equals choice.

FROM equals dictatorial!

Tebow is okay ALTHOUGH he lost to the Cowboys! Hoo Hah!

Bingo! The girlymen in the "sports media" wouldn't dare say this crap if Tebow was "black" or "brown". I don't know which are worse, the girlymen who cover politics or the girlymen who cover sports. I do know that they are all loud-mouthed freaks who can't make it doing a real job.

If this columnist had said “He'll make it in this league - for the Koran tells him so” people would be crying and pleading for his resignation.

I’m sure the Muzzie NFL guys had a great time at Baraq’s Ramalamadingdong late night grub in.

That bottom-feeder Rick Reilly (spit) at ESPN has been all over Tebow’s case recently...he is so politically correct he squeaks when he walks...Reilly’s screeds are nausea-inducing.

Buncha trash. That said, either Mr. Tebow will play well, or he won’t, and that’s the only thing that matters in his occupation.

One of the BEST NFL coaches ever, Joe Gibbs, whom I personally know is a devout Evangelical Christian.

Tebow has led teams to championships at every level he has plated, at after three games at the NFL level you have determined he lacks talent.

From everything I have seen from this kid, he has proven that he is a leader; sadly, it took a lot of guts for him to openly profess his faith, in a world where liberal agnostic and atheistic scum dominate the media. There efforts have been consistent and unrelenting primarily because of his beliefs and willingness to discuss them... compare and contrast the scum in the media’s comments regarding Jamarcus Russell, that is, if you can find them.

I don't know if that is true. Reggie White took a ton of bad press for being a spiritual athlete.
