This story of the beautiful, terribly ill girl meeting and going on a glamorous date with her Prince Charming is heart-warming to a curmudgeon like me. Hope some of you like it too.

Tim gets the award they don’t really give to athletes: The Class Award.

Bravo to Tebow and prayers for the young lady. I saw her walk with Tebow on ESPN last night. She was so pretty and classy I thought that was a real date.

I don't care if Tebow cries when he loses the Conference championship game. So he's an emotional player, who cares? But, he's got more class a single player, than most programs have in their entire athletic department.

He Tiger, that's how a man behaves.

[BubbaBasher]

Why does everyone think he’s some kind of saint. She’s a hot chick. I don’t think he needed any convincing.

[altoinprogress]

Exactly.

[Onelifetogive]

As a Bama fan, I can say that Tim Tebow is a class act.

[altoinprogress]

Since he asked her, it IS a real date.

Meanwhile, can someone tell me why Ray Lewis isn't in prison????

[EternalVigilance]

Very nice.

[Common Sense 101]

Tebow seems to be a class act through and through... as always, time will tell, but he certainly has a more character than most modern day athletes (sadly, I thought the same of Tiger Woods until)...

[The Toll]

For the same reason that I would be if the situation was reversed. He was tried here in Atlanta.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Figures.

"as always, time will tell, but he certainly has a more character than most modern day athletes"

Most modern days athletes don't do this - playing with orphaned children in 3rd world countries, and helping on their parents mission trips.

A kid like Tebow can get a hot date any time he wants. He doesn’t have to pick out a young lady under these circumstances, he could get some model or coed that he would be likely to get a lot further with than this.

OK - thats gotta be his sister on the right. right?

[SeaHawkFan]

She’s attractive, but I wouldn’t put her in the ‘hot’ category. There are lots of hot-looking women at Florida. A class act by Tim Tebow.

[OldDeckHand]

"OK - thats gotta be his sister on the right. right?"

I can't tell for sure. This is a picture that I know to be of his sister, who is older than he is..

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

Why does everyone think he’s some kind of saint.

I think the story is about HER dream coming true, like in Cinderella, and a ton of Hollywood movies. Us old farts get to dab away a tear because of her happiness.
