Well we did have Cam Newton even with Tebow. Auburn just wound up getting the finished product.

As a Bama fan, I have always respected and liked Tebow. The ironic twist is that if he would have come to Alabama and played football (when we were suffering under Shula), we would have kept Shula and Nick Saban would have gone elsewhere. God bless you on that one Tim. BTW – all those who criticize him for thanking Jesus when he wins do not understand the context under which this is stated. It is not a specific thank you for winning. It is a thank you that I was able to perform well. What many do not realize is that after many NFL and College games, Christian players from both sides will often meet at midfield after the game and pray. I think this is pretty cool and I hardly ever go to church.
So you have a problem with a football player thanking Jesus during an interview (took what, all of 4 seconds?), but are defending what is arguably the most "in your face" religious group around? They come to your door, they stop you on the street if you look at them twice, they run commercials about how "normal" Mormons are.
OK. When you have 24/7 coverage on the sports network, and 2 hours analysis before and after the games, many opinions will be expressed. As always, most are wrong. Analysts and writers would be better off ignoring what Tim Tebow expresses, but just like attacking conservative politicians, they just cannot help themselves. Tim is a light for Christ it appears and so the attacks will come. As I said yesterday; may we all be so committed to the Lord.
So, are you one of those religious bigots also? It’s OK to praise and thank God as long as it’s your God, LOL.
If he electrocuted a few puppies he would be glorified.
Pray for America
Of course the flip side is, if Tebow went to Bama, we would have had Cam Newton.
If the price was right.
Well, at any rate, we know who His QB would be...
;-)

In his last college game, he wore Ephesians 2:8-10. As much as I hate the Florida Gators, I loved watching Tim Tebow play. Listening to the college football shows on the radio, I enjoyed the fact that the discussion topic centered on which verse Tebow had on his shadow decal. Tebow is a class act, and is one who will be a light on a lampstand for all to see. God bless him.
It worked so well for Mike Tyson, didn't it. And I see where Tiger woods career has gone since stating publicly that he would return to Buddhism as his source in all things.
Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.
So it would seem...
To clarify for all concerning praising God. As Christians we are called to praise God in all things. It is a mandate of our faith. It is not meant as an offense to others, but an expression that we are giving God the credit for everything in our lives, because our life is a gift from God. As the coach told his football team in the movie “Slaying the Giants”; “We praise God when we win, and we praise God when we lose.”
Good point. In the Packer-Viking game yesterday, as soon as (I think it was) Greg Jennings made a TD catch he dropped to knees and it was an obvious prayer..... not one single comment was made by any of the sports announcers. So blacks can cavort & worship & praise God, but whites cannot? That's what it looks like to me. More double standards & hyprocrisy by the leftie media that won't condemn a black Christian for saying or doing the very same things that Tim Tebow is doing.
BINGO!
THANK YOU, JESUS!!!
Wouldn't let him keep his laptop.
Well to be fair, there is also an “I Hate Aaron Rodgers” Facebook page

Yes I have ...my point is God is glorified in all things......Losses as well as wins but do he athletes see that ? Rom 8:28...
Exactlly, he’s thanking God for the physical gifts that God has bestowed upon him. And by thanking God, he’s using these God given gifts to glorify God; can’t understand how this is a bad thing.
I’m now a Broncos fan.
