He’s broke, eh?
I started to make a smart azz comment then read the entire piece - he sounds like a guy with his head on straight. I wish he could have a better way to explain gun ownership because he’s on the right track - and belief in God has nothing to do with it. Good article - I hope he finds something in life where he can be happy.
He’s wise to go wherever God wants him to go. For some that might be back on the gridiron. I’d like to see more Christian professional athletes. For others that might be to go minister in Timbuktu or wherever. He’s probably sitting pretty moneywise right now, and may have ideas of where he wants to invest it.
Maybe a walk-on at Denver is in his future. Tebow now owns the team, emotionally.
