Tim Tebow is a Christian. That is no secret. Idaho native and former Denver Bronco Jake Plummer just wishes he wouldn't talk about it so much.
Plummer said as much during an interview with 910-AM in Phoenix. Various blogs, including one on NBC Sports, picked up on the interview and have differing takes.
"I wish he would just shut up after a game and go hug his teammates," he said during the interview.
Plummer said he likes the way Tebow is winning games in Denver but wishes he would cut back on the post-game preaching.

“I wish he’d just shut up after a game and go hug his teammates,” Plummer said, via SportsRadioInterviews.com. “I think that when he accepts the fact that we know that he loves Jesus Christ then I think I’ll like him a little better. I don’t hate him because of that, I just would rather not have to hear that every time he takes a good snap or makes a good handoff.”

The media is the one making a thing of this
Basically, they should leave the kid alone.
If that’s what he has to say, then it’s a free country.
Is he telling people they need to become Christians? If so then he needs to cool it.
Neither Plummer nor anyone else has any right to tell Tim Tebow what it means to be a Christian. If Tim Tebow feels that the Holy Spirit calls on him to express his love for Jesus Christ in post-game interviews then who is to say otherwise? If the networks don’t want to interview Tim Tebow then they won’t. If they choose to interview Tim Tebow then it is Tim Tebow they get. Plummer can go get stuffed.
My guess is that most Freepers will be on Tebow’s side on this one. One might only guess how they might react if (when?) a player starts giving thanks and praise to Allah.
pgyanke to Tebow: Be Yourself. You’re a Winner and Role Model for Christian Men.
pgyanke to Plummer: Mind your own damn business. Who was the last player you criticized before Tebow? Was it Vick or any number of bad role models? Then shut your pumpkin pie hole and eat some turkey.
This is true but no one wants religion pushed in their face. It’s a football game. There is a time and a place for it,but not during an interview after a game.
Jake Plummer is the one who should ‘just shut up’. What Tebow is doing can help transform this nation. God bless, you Tim!
I imagine we would say it’s his business. You have reason to suggest otherwise?
Glad to hear a sex offender weighing in on this question. Stay classy, Plummer.
Well, considering allah/mohmmad advocate the murder and rape of innocents, I would hope most Freepers would be upset.
There's a name for people who tell others that they need to become Christians.
Such people are called "Christians".
Who, me? Long time freeper who lurks more than he has worked? Nawwwww.... :)
He may be a “witness” to G-d but he does need to lay off because people don’t want his faith pushed in their face. What if I,as a Jew,went around and started “preaching”? It would be annoying,would it not?
No problem, it is a free country and I do not have to watch. Very simple. It works both ways but the left are not happy when they can not make and/or break the rules at their at their leisure.
Hey, Plummer! Think maybe the Jews told Paul to shut up and just make tents? Probably but how did that work out for the Jews?
