He is a Christian and Christians aren’t popular with teams full of thugs

Needs repeating endlessly !!!!

Why doesn’t Tim try another line of work. Or, is he independently well off enough that he can just keep trying to play football?

And, what’s going on with his “alleged” interest in one of the Duggar girls?

I would just like to see Tim Tebow play some ball. He was a huge draw in Denver. I think he ought to be invited back to the Broncos and spend a few years with Peyton Manning as his back up as Peyton begins to wind down.

Dear John Elway,

Do us all a favor and get Tebow back.

Sincerely,
Slyfox from Free republic

One has to think that people who select players for “Pro” teams believe he lacks what it takes.

Or, one can think for themselves and figure out he was blackballed by the league.

Michael Sam will also be on Dancing with the Stars. And ABC wonders why the show is having ratings problems with the show. 50% of the population won’t tune in to this - period!

Depending on one's level of paranoia.

Tebow is a commentator at ESPN.
Being a smart young fellow, he may well have figured out this is a good living with much less potential for traumatic brain injury.

That really is it. Tebow walked into a losing season and won 7 of the next 8, going to the playoffs. He won in spectacular fashion as well.

So now, instead of being a 3 year quarterback, maturing into a force of nature. They get Manning, who might creak through one more season before he goes on social security.

...

And a big draw for national TV. You wouldn’t replace a star QB with him, but there’s teams he could upgrade and draw fans. Denver was struggling when he took over as starter.

Tim Toto pulled back the curtain. The NFL is just a big gay ole show. Did Katy Perry get invited to the veterinarian combine?

I’ve read he’s doing well in broadcasting and has multiple gigs.

what ‘it takes’ is someone the political left will approve

an unabashed Christian is definitely not in-line with the political left... regardless of the fact that he wins games.

meanwhile, if you can find a black player willing to pitch & catch as well as play football... then that’s endorsed by the left wholeheartedly

Your vulgar language tells us why you don’t like Tebow. All was good at was being a leader, winning games, and electrifying a city.

Swing and a miss sport,,,

If it isn't pretty high, you aren't really paying attention.

Can you imagine if they had combines when Sonny Jurgensen and George Blanda played? Good Lord.

You know, there's that old joke about the guy who sticks with his house during a flood and as the water rises he turns down a four wheel drive and a boat and a helicopter, telling each in turn that God will provide. And when he drowns and winds up face to face with God and asks "What happened", God replies "I sent you a truck and a boat and a helicopter. What more did you want?" Well God sent Tebow the Broncos, the Jets, and the Patriots and here he is, shilling for the SEC network. Maybe God is sending him a message?
