ESPN Reporter Exposes The Truth About Tim Tebow

[240 is Back]

Keep pinning away mr. 240 lbs of dynamite with a 5 inch fuse. Your efforts are futile youll never make news. Ass bruised gay 4 pay. Stand by the door and look tough, make way...

Tim Tebow is a wonderful man.  I wish I had just half the faith he does, and I'd be in a better place in my life.  People continue to question him, and to try and find and expose flaws in the man v. the football player v. just enjoying what he's doing on and off the field.  I believe people that have a problem with him as a man, truly hate themselves and want to bring him down to Earth so they feel better about themselves.  The man is special and an inspiration.

He will be here March 3-4 at a Church here...You better believe I'll be there.  This is a good man and role model. Anyone says anything other than that, will make my Death List.  Cause I'm not turning the other cheek...(no homo).

i agree with you here, not because of his "faith" or "religion" but for the things he does for other people, in the end thats what matters.

This Tim Tebow character is quite interesting - up until about three weeks ago I had never even heard of him.

Living in the UK we don't pay much attention to NFL but I watched last year's Superbowl and get the general idea of how it all works - it's a decent game and if I lived in the States I'd probably follow it more than any other sport.

But this Tebow guy is quite unique, if not for his football skills but his philanthropy as well - seems like a breath of fresh air to me. Here in the UK we have football (soccer) players who make the headlines for all the wrong reasons - nothing more than overpaid showponies who flash their money around and the kids have no-one to look up to anymore.

Will be interesting to see how much further Tebow can take the Broncos.

you guys are fucking brainwashed

im not, hes a good kid but hes not this saint everyone is making him out to be, no one is, the more perfect you appear the more skeletons they tend to find lurking around BUT he does seem to like to help poor people which is supposedly what the "Lord and Savoir" Jesus would be doing if he "came back".

yeah good for him, like I said it's cool he is a good guy and shit.

but he does not win games because of "god", and also their are countless people in this world who do a lot of good actions for the community but Wiggs would never even aknowledge them because they are not in the public spotlight

I believe in Tim Tebow

By Rick Reilly
ESPN.com

I've come to believe in Tim Tebow, but not for what he does on a football field, which is still three parts Dr. Jekyll and two parts Mr. Hyde.

No, I've come to believe in Tim Tebow for what he does off a football field, which is represent the best parts of us, the parts I want to be and so rarely am.

Who among us is this selfless?

Every week, Tebow picks out someone who is suffering, or who is dying, or who is injured. He flies these people and their families to the Broncos game, rents them a car, puts them up in a nice hotel, buys them dinner (usually at a Dave & Buster's), gets them and their families pregame passes, visits with them just before kickoff (!), gets them 30-yard-line tickets down low, visits with them after the game (sometimes for an hour), has them walk him to his car, and sends them off with a basket of gifts.

Home or road, win or lose, hero or goat.

Remember last week, when the world was pulling its hair out in the hour after Tebow had stunned the Pittsburgh Steelers with an 80-yard OT touchdown pass to Demaryius Thomas in the playoffs? And Twitter was exploding with 9,420 tweets about Tebow per second? When an ESPN poll was naming him the most popular athlete in America?

Tebow was spending that hour talking to 16-year-old Bailey Knaub about her 73 surgeries so far and what TV shows she likes.

"Here he'd just played the game of his life," recalls Bailey's mother, Kathy, of Loveland, Colo., "and the first thing he does after his press conference is come find Bailey and ask, 'Did you get anything to eat?' He acted like what he'd just done wasn't anything, like it was all about Bailey."

More than that, Tebow kept corralling people into the room for Bailey to meet. Hey, Demaryius, come in here a minute. Hey, Mr. Elway. Hey, Coach Fox.

Even though sometimes-fatal Wegener's granulomatosis has left Bailey with only one lung, the attention took her breath away.

"It was the best day of my life," she emailed. "It was a bright star among very gloomy and difficult days. Tim Tebow gave me the greatest gift I could ever imagine. He gave me the strength for the future. I know now that I can face any obstacle placed in front of me. Tim taught me to never give up because at the end of the day, today might seem bleak but it can't rain forever and tomorrow is a new day, with new promises."

I read that email to Tebow, and he was honestly floored.

"Why me? Why should I inspire her?" he said. "I just don't feel, I don't know, adequate. Really, hearing her story inspires me."

It's not just NFL defenses that get Tebowed. It's high school girls who don't know whether they'll ever go to a prom. It's adults who can hardly stand. It's kids who will die soon.

For the game at Buffalo, it was Charlottesville, Va., blue-chip high school QB Jacob Rainey, who lost his leg after a freak tackle in a scrimmage. Tebow threw three interceptions in that Buffalo game and the Broncos were crushed 40-14.

"He walked in and took a big sigh and said, 'Well, that didn't go as planned,'" Rainey remembers. "Where I'm from, people wonder how sincere and genuine he is. But I think he's the most genuine person I've ever met."

Sounds like a good money spinner - being high profile and charitable is highly profitable for your bottom line - these stars are amazed at the propoganda the public buys into - since the cold war, studies have shown that due to the nature of our system - everybody acts out of self interest - betrayal of you fellow man is actually to your benefit - cold war studies reflect this.  I despise these do-gooders trying to look saintly - do gooders destroyed the world and made it the piece of crap it is today!

couldnt have said it better, everything is about the $$$$$$$.

[Coach is Back!]

LOL@ you guys. lol

[Stavios]

Lol at Jesus

[Stavios]

come on that's a ridiculous thing to say. He has been doing great things for the community since his college days, which is more than any of us have done in our lives. He is using his fame to help less fortunate people in life. He is a great human being and deserves our respect. I don't care for his overly religious beliefs though

Edit: saw your other post about him being a nice guy...glad you could at least acknowledge that

I just fucking hates bandwagons, like I said they are countless of people who help less fortunate people but they are not pro football players so people don't give a shit about them

if you are truly a good person, you don't make you every move public for the whole world to know.
cause in that case, it's called publicity stunts

Do you actually think he asked for this attention? But now since he has that attention he's using it for good. Most atheists can't get a grasp of that so what do they do? Like liberal politics they have to find something to hate on an name call. And yes, unfortunately there is a direct correlation. Liberals and atheists are some of the most miserable people on the face of this planet.

I am not liberal nor am I conservative, I judge every situation differently and that's the way everybody should do.

you guys in the USA make me laugh with your republicans VS liberals bullshit.

if you are liberal and the republicans have a good idea, you should agree with it and vice versa.

you guys who try to classifiy and divide the society in different classes/races or whatever, you are the people who walk with the blinders on

I know you're not liberal. I'm saying you can generally lump liberals and atheists into one.
