I've completely jumped on the Tim Tebow Bandwagon

You all may have seen this already but I'm posting anyway.

ESPN - Believing in Tim Tebow

[grumptruck]

He'll always be someone that some bitter soul puss will gripe about. They'll be the first to say I told you so when the media does enough digging to find a "hypocritical" flaw in him.

Sure he's Christian, sure he's Evangelical about it, at the end of the day he is just like you and me.

He wants to do the same thing all of us guys want to do. Have fun (everyones fun is different but fun's fun), bad habits/character flaws, and play with tits. Whether he does or not is the different story.

He put in hard work to get where he is. Praying to Zombie jesus, cloud of energy, cloud in the sky, or God robed in the flesh has very little to do with his success. People just don't like him because of the Jesus thing.

You never hear anyone complain about Bill Maher and George Carlin's evangelism of flaming athesim because they are funny (Bill maher's only funny to idiots but still he's funny) You'll very seldom see someone judge an Islamic famous person with their FIRE and intensity of their religion. Islamic peeps take dedication to higher levels than any bible thumping holy roller ever could would. That makes you a racist if you do that but let a Famous white christian fly their flag.

Oh no he didn't.

That one used up a few tissues.

Took none... I've bit my tongue tons on this forum on more offensive issues that were targeted to me.

I was refering to the OP.
I could care less what you say.

WTGH?

Why the grumphate?

You gotta admit that would be a good retort though (That used up a few tissues)

[BlueSnMettle]

Did you even read the article? There was one reference to a prayer,
something he whispered into a small boys ear. Do not all religions pray, in
some form or another, I believe they do. This was not about religion, this was/is about an
incredible man who does selfless acts of kindness to enrich peoples lives who need it. End of story.

I'm certain Tim does not seek our praise for his actions.

He is showing Who is in him.

We should aspire to do the same.

I'm just sick of hearing about Tebow in general. He is surpassing Brett Favre levels of media attention these days

[grumptruck]

To completely jump on a bandwagon you must have only been somewhat on it.

I was just making comments that the good the guy does gets overshadowed because of the Tebowing and prayer life.

Understood.

I don't get it. He takes something deeply personal like religion and displays it for all to see, and people think it's a good thing and approve?

What else makes this guy so famous or good? To me he's just like a football (real football) star. I have a feeling he's popular only for marketing reasons: people see what they want to see, and they love him. Any truth in that or am I way off the mark?

Did you read the previous article? It had almost nothing to do with religion as much as it had to do with human compassion and caring.

[BlueSnMettle]

Way, Way off. Did you "actually" read the article. AND the comments
that followed? Why won't people get that some people like to help others.
They're millions of Philantropists, his just happens to bring his faith ito it.
Is that bad? I don't think so, but apparently alot of people do. By the way,
the OP contained the most minute mention of "a prayer". The man is
incredible.

Kurt Warner was Tim Tebow before there was a Tim Tebow. He didn't have the hype coming in since he came out of lower leagues however. He was cut from the same mold as Tebow personally. He still does some great stuff around this community, even after he left. In a league full of thugs it's a refreshing change. I'm not religious, but kudos to him for sticking to his guns. I just can't stand the media coverage.

what's the MOST miraculous thing to me...is that what he says and stands for NEVER...EVER gets attention and is generally looked down upon by the masses and most media would normally avoid him and hate on him like the plague...but...for some reason...it's different with him....

btw...being a Kentucky Wildcat guy...i despised him in college at Florida...but i respected him!

consider me a HUGE bandwagon jumper...i'll cheer and follow him for life!
