I tend to agree with you.
Scary, isn't it? Like being a racist if you don't vote for Obama lol.
I have no idea whether he's a good human being. He certainly puts on a good show of being one.
A religion which is mocked daily by ignorant arrogance and precisely because it's tenets promote GOOD moral values which holds people ACCOUNTABLE.
With the exception of this year, Rivers hasn’t been a choker. The Chargers have a matador defense and Rivers always answered the bell when called. The defense and Nate Kaeding are the choke artists on the Chargers.
As for Flutie, at least on the Chargers, he did manage to bring the Chargers - a crappy team, with an even crappier quarterback (Ryan Leaf) a few wins after a 1 -15 season. He also filled in when Drew Brees couldn’t get it done early in his career. He was a QB with not great skills who is true leader and got the best out of the team around him.
“I think Tebow can handle it.”
Yes, because Tim certainly looks to be a young man with a good foundation. Strong core beliefs and his priorities well in line.
Thank you BB for the post. I was pleasantly surprised to read a straight forward assessment of the game, and more, of the author’s thoughtful admiration of Tim.
And thank you Lord, for Tim Tebow. For the joy he shares, for his inspiration, and for bringing God back into the discussion in this country.
May God guide our course.

Personally, I feel God was in charge of those wins. The three 316 references were too much for coincidence. But they why didn’t he win last night? Maybe because God knows it’s never enough with us. If Tebow had won last night it would have all been riding on the playoffs, then the Superbowl, and even if he went all the way, people would have their knives out for next season.
But I believe God used Tim. Everyone knows who Tim Tebow is now even non-sports types. I think he’s been put out there as an example, one I’m grateful for in these wicked times.
I’m glad the Broncos lost to the Pats and not the Steelers. The Steelers are the official team of the Obama admin and the media’s favorite AFC squad. I respect the Pats and Brady and will be rooting for them next week if the Ravens win today.
Why hate the guy, regardless of your religion or what kind of QB you think he is.

You answered your own question in the next sentence:
He does a lot of great things off the field and is a good
role model for any kid.

For some reason — jealousy? just plain evil? — some feel threatened by good, decent people.
For example, I am willing to bet that there is a bevy of harlots just waiting for an opportunity to entice this young man and ruin his reputation.
Roy Baty posts - “”God is watching, no doubt and His plan is unfolding but in the final analysis, He works through us and we need to take action.””
Amen. On His working through us, and on US needing to take action. Small, sheepish smile - more often than not when I am praying, it does occur to me that my prayer is not about making a to do list for God, but that it is a prompt for ME to do something...So I try to keep in the prayer, things that are truly beyond my power.
Take care ya’ll and may God bless and guide our course.

Indeed you were. No self-respecting conservative would ever root for the Steelers.
I'm the exact opposite. I've seen God touch my life too often to think that He doesn't.
The Denver defense has been awesome. They were terrible last night, but Tebow wouldn’t have had a season to speak of if the Broncs’ D hadn’t played so well last week and in the regular season (and don’t forget about Prater).
They hate him because he is good. Understand this when someone is authentically good, humble and of considerable talent, that intimidates those that feel self conscious that they aren’t. So like a bunch of Jr. High girls they have to drive out the person in their presence that magnifies their own feelings of inadequacy and failure. It is like a shiny gold nail amount a board of rusty bent ones. When they are all rusty nails than they are all the lowest common denominator. When the Gold nail is presence it is easier to pull out or tarnish the golden nail than to admire or improve yourself. THAT is the nature of man’s character.
I think Tebow can handle it./
Me too! ;)
Tebow is doing just fine.
Anybody who is a threat to atheistic communism must be destroyed. How many times do you have to see it?

Does that include Rush Limbaugh? What team should I root for as a self respecting conservative?
He's a mature young man, what a fine thing to say.
I recorded it and watched it late, turned it off at the beginning of the fourth quarter, but saved the recording, hoping he might say something classy and shut up his critics once again.
He obviously did. He may not be on my recording, but thanks for posting. The kid is one class act.
Hey there was Divine intervention last night..Brady had his injured shoulder blessed by the Holy Father in Rome.
