Tim Tebow destroyed in new John Elway book
Tim Tebow is polarizing, not because he is a polarizing person, but rather, some folks are divided on the former Heisman Trophy winner and Florida quarterback.
Tebow became an SEC legend at Florida, winning 2 national championships and becoming the first-ever sophomore to win the Heisman Trophy. Gators fans — and many other SEC fans — still adore Tebow and followed his career in the NFL and the MLB.
While Tebow’s professional prospects were largely negative coming out of Florida, the Denver Broncos — under then-head coach Josh McDaniels — drafted Tebow in the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft. McDaniels was let go after the season, and under John Elway’s leadership, John Fox was hired.
2011 was a disaster start for Denver with Kyle Orton at quarterback, and the fans were loudly calling for Tebow to take over. Well, he did, and he helped lead Denver to a rather strong finish, including a first-round NFL Playoff win against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
A new book by sports journalist Jason Cole titled, “Elway: A Relentless Life,” dives into the 2011 season and trashes Tebow in the process.
The book, according to DailyMail, calls Tebow “egotistical and money hungry.” The book alleges that Tebow, a devout Christian, charged $50,000 to speak at churches, and it also alleges that Elway’s wife, Janet, asked Tebow to do an appearance at a charity event and Tebow’s brother said it would be $50,000 for an appearance. She ultimately declined.
One Denver staffer also allegedly called Tebow, “The most self-centered humble guy I’ve ever met.”
Cole also writes in the book about his on-field play, “As one teammate put it bluntly that season: ‘He has no idea what’s going on out there. If the first read doesn’t work, he’s just making it up.'”
Tebow eventually found himself out of the NFL and made a run at playing professional baseball. He’s been in the minor leagues the last several years in addition to hosting the SEC Network’s pregame show on Saturday mornings during football season.
All I will say about Mr. Elway is that people that live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.
I agree very much
I read and re-read the article and the only thing I can see that Elway did was make Tebow the starter after Orton failed. It is unclear where the author has sourced the information other than an anonymous Broncos player.
Hey, weird handle you got there. Nothing says MAGA like grocery stores with bread lines, no to, wearing masks, and asking for people to cash in their piggy banks because they’ve run out of legal tender. This chaos we are in is on Trumps watch. Now he’ll fix it? He’s a f’n moron.
I’ll just say this…I just built my own house and every single subcontractor said this is the most money and best economy they have ever worked in…then came the democrat/Chinese virus. Hell yeah Trump is the right man!
Yeah, I’ve been trying for months to get some buildings built and the house added onto it. I’ve only got the concrete poured right now because everyone is booked up. I’ve thought about looking out of state to get people to finish it up.
First you are wrong skyblue and second, for a string of comments that were void of politics, you are the one who seems to be off on a tangent and marching to your own drummer, a very off key drummer.
Come up out of the basement and get some fresh air. Snowflake
@skyeisblue, where in America is any of that true? Seems you are just spewing nonsense. As for what is fact, Bernie Sanders, who is informing your party these days, including Kamel-toe, has actually said, on record, that breadlines are “a good thing.” That’s the funny thing about socialists- you don’t really give a d@mn about your standard of living as long as everyone around you is just as miserable as you are.
Go away you stinking troll.
Sorry man, wrong thread
In case you haven’t been watching, US economy is on a historic rebound, also on Trump’s watch. If you are going to work that platform, you better hope people stay unemployed and scared. I suggest you look at the last 4 months of Jobs Reports. Otherwise, GO GATORS! And yeah, hate Tebow all you want Elway, his wife is hotter than yours.
Save your breath DMFP…the blue collar trash doesn’t even know what a stock is. I can’t expect them to really know anything about what is happening in the market.
Hey lib, you going to join the next riot, I mean peaceful protest?
Huh?
That’s why you read the book. This info didn’t come from the author of the article. It came from the book.
Christians have been hated for 2000 years. Nothing has changed.
Zero self-awareness in this comment, lol. You’re on here trolling constantly and somehow profess to be Christian. Maybe part of the issue people have with alleged Christians such as yourself is hypocrisy?
If Trump is a “Christian” so is my door knob!
The comments are about Tebow, not Trump. Try to keep up.
bk, you are a door knob.
I cannot blame Tim Tebow for accepting personal-appearance fees. I am sure his Agent/Manager booked them….and I recall this phrase…”When you’re hot you’re hot, when you’re not you’re not”. At that time Tim was a very hot property and needed to capitalize on his fame. None of us ever know when that fame is gone. His speaking engagement were pure Tim Tebow…he spoke from the heart and said what he truly believed. In addition to being a great SEC player, he surely sets a great example for the young people…unlike many other athletes. I have always been a Tim Tebow fan and remember the “heart” he show playing the game.
A fellow Alabama fan here! I also respect Teibow on & off field. My guess is most players get paid for public functions. It’s taking away from their private life time off field & not working so… taking money makes sense. Now as for trashing Teibow on his talent? Like him or not he’s shown his talent and people need to respect that. Just because someone is not a fan doesn’t mean you slur or slander his playing abilities.
I can blame him for accepting personal appearance fees for a CHARITY EVENT. It’s for the charity to make money. Not your own wallet. The charity should be raising money for the cause not raising money for Tebow. If they made say 100k that night. It would be a horrible look if it turns out half of that went to Tebow’s pockets..
You’re so right. Also, Tebow does so much for people who cannot through the Tim Tebow Foundation for no charge. He’s able to do those things, like “Night to Shine,” which he does for men, women, and youth all over the world with disabilities for no cost, giving them a chance to feel special for one night each year. Those he charges, like John Elway’s wife, can well afford the cost. Elway is super jealous of the respect earned and given to Tim Tebow as a football player, and as a man.
So glad he’s been exposed.
So he’s making good money off a book that attacks Tebow as being self absorbed and all about money. Bonehead.
That’s rich coming from John Elway. The hypocrisy is abundant with this one.
There isn’t a single quote from Elway in the article.
There is no way I could judge Tebow on the difference between college and the NFL when it comes to QB’s. Two different animals but what I don’t get are the detractors saying when Tebow replaced Orton, it was the kicking game and defense that won those games. The reason I don’t get it was because it was the same kicker and defense that Orton had and the only difference was Tebow who took them to winning a playoff game. I never thought Tebow would be a gunslinger but he did have a way of putting a team of his shoulders and plowing through to a win. I would think he should get a “little” credit for doing that at Denver.
Jesus! Tim Tebow was a terrible quarterback. If not for making plays with his legs he would have lasted far shorter than he did. Not sure why anyone would hold him up as a model NFL player.
Career Stats
Completion rate: 47.9%
Quarterback rating: 75.3
16 career starts/41 sacks/-258 yds.
Most plays from scrimmage for loss in a playoff game against New England. I think it was 15. Another interesting fact, the only loss Denver has had to NE in the playoffs was with Tebow at QB. Yeah I think he is a horrible NFL qb.
I agree completely. Was he a great NFL QB? Not really. But he was a winner, and possibly the best leader in the history of the game. Even when he played badly, which he did a lot in the NFL, he managed to will his team to the win, and that was his best quality. Sometimes that’s as important as any particular skill set.
History of the college game, maybe.
Three thoughts:
1. The first sentence of this article is nonsensical. Does anybody read these things before they hit “publish?”
2. If you look on Amazon, this is an unauthorized biography. Which usually means, among other things, that the author obtained alleged statements second- or third-hand because the subject wouldn’t speak to him. The story about his brother demanding a fee for a charity appearance may not be true.
3. The criticisms of Tebow in the NFL were that his mechanics were awful and he wasn’t accurate enough. Accusing him basically of stupidity sounds like something made up to create newsworthiness for a new book.
You must be a very nice person.. Lol to lay out a nice comment like this. Hey we both live in the south so let’s call it what it is- BullCrap hope y’all do as me and do not buy a copy of this hogwash
Yeah, Elway has to be the focus of attention. He was not a winner until the Broncos had so much talent around him he finally won a couple of rings off the backs of his teammates.
Tebow didn’t have that opportunity
I always thought he was a prissy jerk for the way he and his dad refused to go along with however the draft turned out.
I was going to comment on that as well but decided I’d let it go. You’re correct Nash. Elway played baseball until he got what he wanted. What a jerk. I’ve known Timmy since he was 17. He’s an incredible competitor that has a switch he can turn off and he goes out of his way to acknowledge people. I think Elway wishes people looked up to him as they do Timmy. Jealous relationship was how their interactions in Denver was described to me by his brother years ago.
All I know is that Tebow won a playoff game against Pittsburgh and made some clutch throws to win that game when it mattered. I seem to also recall Denver becoming a different team with him vs. Orton. He’s just a winner, and I’ve always thought he could have elevated a second tier NFL team if given a chance.
Why would Elway be jealous of Tebow? Elway was a way better football and baseball player and was now the GM. It didn’t take a lot to see that Tebow simply wasn’t a very good nfl QB, and Denver was not going to win a Super Bowl with him as the QB. Elway did his job.
Jason Cole, the journalist in this book also teaches a class on “sports writing” at UF and doesn’t like Timmy as well.
LSU, Elway was jealous because of what you said. Even though Elway was a better NFL QB, Tebow was getting all the attention and adoration of the fans. Something Elway never experienced and could not understand, making him a jealous jerky boy
Elway jealous? 5 sb appearances surely trumps Tebows stats. What I have problem with is this fantasy that Tebow is the ultimate player and teammate. I know he professed his love for the opportunity to play football, but if it wasn’t at qb, he wouldn’t try. He’s only about himself. Horrible teammate. As a life long Broncos fan, I said good riddance long ago. The best thing he did for Denver was bring us PFM. In closing, quality human beings don’t charge a fee for charity events. It’s charity. Ironically i had heard about this a few years ago. Now it’s been proven true, what a POS.
Anyone calling Tebow a POS is either completely ignorant and clueless, a POS himself, or in your case, both
“Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.” Matthew 19:23-24
Um. Wow MSIB. Aren’t you a ray of pitch black. But then again, PFM!!!!! Raaaaooooorrr! Gimme a beer! Wooooooooo! I bet you have a giant pickup truck, hm?
Colorado good thing you can quote the Bible. Now try to go out and live every day according to what it says. You can’t, but the one you are trying to put down is the closest you can get. I’m no where close so it is easy for me to call you an A hole. A hole
COJones – I don’t profess to to adhere to something that’s really important to a lot of people, go parade it around publicly and make sure all can see (= virtue signalling, at least to a lot of people on this site), then do things that are clearly against what I’m professing to believe in. Maybe I am an a hole, but I get to have an opinion and I assure you it’s shared by many – doesn’t mean it’s right, but it’s what I (and others) see. Disagree with me if you’d like – that’s why we’re here, to have “conversations” – but you don’t have to get nasty about it.
Many people can’t handle any criticism of Tebow because they feel he’s the representative of their religious faith. Just like Kaepernick, he was trying to do good but brought too much of a circus to the locker room and not enough production on the field.
Don’t know who you claim is going around virtue signaling and the doing things opposite of what they profess. You talking about Elway?
So who’s going to win the Battle of the Tight Ends on Oct 17th? We’ve lost a lot but so have y’all, but we each have more than ample talent returning. What decides it?
What a shocker…he doesn’t like it when Tebow “throws his religion in everyone’s face,” but when it comes to a bunch of morons kneeling, it suddenly becomes a matter of free speech. A bunch of fans last week exercised their first amendment rights and told them to shove it up their @ss.
Yeah sure scold somebody for having a business mind while you live in glass house dictating a football team from a luxury suite… Hypocrite.
Did Elway do that? Where does it say anything close to that in this article?
Elway complained of the hype that TT brought with him. I get Elway, in saying that it was a distraction. However, you can’t tell me when Elway drafted him that TT was going to change how he publicly approached his faith.
Elway didn’t draft Tebow. That was McDaniels. Elway came on board the next season and knew he needed a better QB.
Everyone on here remembers the bad blood that Timmy got from Elway and probably are venting. I’d suggest you look at some information in regards to that. A simple google search will provide more than enough.
Whatever dude. Now your just reaching.
You don’t even know who drafted Tebow. Therefore, you’re the last person to pretend to be some sort of expert on the subject.
The circus like atmosphere was a distraction. The only people who thought he was good were SEC fans, kids in bible study, and submissive women. Not Bronco fans.
WOOOOOOOOOO! BRONCOS! PEYTON F***ING MANNING! Putting the scrotum on my truck tomorrow, BABY! YEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHH!
A “Journalist” wrote this book. I think we all know what to expect from “Journalism” these days. I feel pretty good about saying this guy is just another hack.
I agree. People can mock fake news all they like But!! All it takes is a look online for more fake news. Sad
There goes all respect I had for John Elway. What would possess him to actively go after Tebow in a book meant to be an autobiography about Elway?
Jealousy
Exactly!
Nonsense.
Of what?
I’ve never been an Elway fan, but he did not cooperate with this book. It’s an “unauthorized” biography.
Read up on Jason Cole. He’s teaching at UF. His writings are always a negative slant.
Well if Elway didn’t cooperate on book?? They got his statement or Opinions on Teibow somewhere! This author needs a law suit against if he just made up this crap.
Where is a statement from Elway here?
Elway’s one to throw stones and call out anyone’s attitude considering Johnny thought he was so special coming out of college that he refused to sign with the team who drafted him.
Elway looks like a horse when he smiles. Thus, he’s a moron and was a terrible pro QB. He won a superbowl solely because of the talent around him. See, I can issue non sequiturs, too.
Hall of fame, eh? When does Timmy get selected?
Hey, weird handle you got there. Nothing says MAGA like grocery stores with bread lines, no to, wearing masks, and asking for people to cash in their piggy banks because they’ve run out of legal tender. This chaos we are in is on Trumps watch. Now he’ll fix it? He’s a f’n moron.
It’s not a political platform, and that stuff might be happening in whatever liberal state/town you live in, but it’s not happening Where I live, don’t bring that crap up on a sports thread. It will only add to more division. And it would be helpful if you didn’t copy and paste this same argument every time.
mysky…Now back to your mom’s basement & smoke some more weed. Just go away…You are on the wrong site.
The left has melded sports and politics. If you haven’t been under a rock for the last 8 years you would know that.
While you were under your rock our coach jumped into the fray.
Go back to sleep.
Talking about f’n morons, have you looked in a mirror lately?
That’s the best you got? Pathetic!
1) Bread lines at grocery stores? CITATION NEEDED
2) Everyone is wearing masks where I live and I have yet to see a single person put up a fight about it.
3) I don’t think it’s Trump’s job to make sure your Regions branch has enough pennies. He’s more concerned with winning an election and negotiating HISTORIC peace deals.
But I’m just a moron, right? ORANGE MAN BAD ORANGE MAN BAD ORANGE MAN BAD
I have always been a fan of Elway.. but why he wants put Teibow down in his book idk! Wonder if Elway is profiting off this book?’ Look a fellow Mississippian Brett Favre has had to pay my state back millions because Those over DHS stole money ( millions) Farve had taken money for Speaking but never showed up to event to speak! But it wasn’t him his agent/Mgr he says he knew nothing of.. I’m sure if you research these players? All or majority take money to attend these public functions much less speak! As far as saying Teibow was utterly lost on the Football Field? More garbage! A QB with talent still has to have help from his players on field gosh ever heard it takes a village! Football is not a one man team! We know Tim Teibow has talent whether you are a fan or not.. I was & still am no Florida fan but give Teibow credit for his career at The university of Fl It has changed my view on You John Elway not Teibow! He has never strayed from his Personal relationship with Christ .. I as Teibow knows this is why he’s being attacked.. not his talent in sports Hey Elway! Hope your book sales is ⬇️⬇️Trash! Shame on you!
T-E-B-O-W
Elway. Didn’t. Write. This. Book.
Look, I’m not a huge Tebow fan, he was undeniably a great college player in the early days of the spread. He was never a polished passer and wasn’t cut out for the NFL game. I do have one Tebow story, though. His first year in the minors, Tebow’s team played in my town and he worked out at my gym, as many of the minor leaguers do who are passing through. Tebow had his own space blocked off and no one was allowed in there while he was working out. That’s completely reasonable given the crowd of people who had gathered to see him. After he worked out, he took at least an hour every day to shake hands, sign autographs, and generally mingle with people who wanted to meet him. He didn’t have to do that. He could have walked out and went to the park or wherever he was staying and did his thing. Instead, he talked to people and did push ups with the little kids who hung out to see him. Maybe he’s not what he seems, but he made a lot of people happy that week by just not being too busy for them. Good dude, I’m my book.
He’s been that way since HS. He’s a genuine person with a huge heart.
Tim Tebow’s got my Vote as a good guy.
2 time BCS champion
Heisman Trophy
Married Miss Universe
I’m the one who needs to act more humble….
Even if true, which I don’t believe one person’s side of any story, Bush, Obama, Clinton, those of the sort, etc., charge $500,000.000 per appearance. John Elway hasn’t complained a single bit about that. It’s typical Ivory Tower socialites, make the other person look as bad as you can to justify your decisions.
I think it’s because of his purposeful displays of his faith…as far as I know, real Christians don’t charge for charity appearances at churches or try to work the system for money in any case. That’s my problem with TT, he doesn’t seem to live the type of life that he made sure everyone saw him make a big deal out of by publicly displaying it.
Real Christians make a living, Tigah. Just because he isn’t eating with the lepers doesn’t dilute his faith or his ability to reach people. His foundation has given away nearly $7 million dollars to charities. People contribute to this foundation (and pay his speaking fees) largely because they want to be a part of what he represents. What would this man have to do to meet your standard of “real Christianity?” I think he’s doing a pretty outstanding job, personally.
I get that arrow, and while some of his antics were irritating to many including me I don’t have some huge axe to grind about Tebow. My problem is everyone making him out to be some holy messenger when he clearly – publicly – goes against some of the tenets of his religion. We all know it’s impossible to live a completely virtuous life, but just don’t parade yourself around trying to show everyone how good you are. The people paying his speaking fees could be spending that money to do real good, or he could donate the money himself just not to his own charity (maybe he has?). In the end I’m sure he does lots of good charitable work and he’s to be commended, it’s a lot more than what most people do.
Doing real good? Educate yourself in what Tebow has done and continues to do and you will find very few people have done 1/2 as much real good in this world.
You speak out of ignorance
BTW, you’re still an A hole
Thanks Jones, that means a LOT coming from you. Takes one to know one I guess.
What you’re addressing isn’t my argument – I agree with you that he’s done a lot of good. It’s the “look at me” attitude that’s ridiculous. Like another poster said, charging a church $50k for 30 minutes is a sin regardless of who pays for it.
Tigah, I’m not convinced he is charging the small country churches that fee. Here in Atlanta, we have about a dozen mega-churches that would think nothing of that amount given their size. And I’m also not convinced that his speaking engagements are always free to the attendee, meaning that I am expected to pay for a ticket to offset the cost to the venue (including churches). Additionally, Tebow does not seem to covet attention as much as it is given to him based on his convictions. Not trying to make you a TT fan, but I’m not sure the narrative is what the author claims it is.
Apparently, I covet italics.
Fair enough arrow, I’m not trying to beat up TT I’m just making the same old point that’s been made about him since he first Tebowed on-field for all to see. My push back is that I, along with a lot of people, am just not into him calling attention to himself in the name of a religion that instructs it’s followers not to call attention to themselves in the name of the religion.
First of all, how can someone who, by their own admission is “not a Christian” pontificate about what the “tenets” of the Christian faith are? And if your issue is him calling attention to yourself, your argument about a bunch of entitled @ssclowns who make millions to play a silly game kneeling during the national anthem in the name of “injustice” is what, exactly? Just like Tebow, Krap was a second-rate QB. The difference is that when today, people want to argue how Krap was “railroaded.” Mm’kay. Textbook hypocrisy.
BTW – nice italics!
You guys need to stop arguing with colorado. You see, tigah is the type that doesn’t believe in someone using their platform to generate revenue to help others. Tigah would rather have the government come in and “redistribute” your hard earned money. Oh, unless it’s kapernick kneeling and disrespecting the country that has provided them with everything. I’m so sick and tired of scummy a$$ Democrats. What kind of liberal dipsh!t comes on a Florida Gator article and talks smack about Tebow? Can’t wait for this frigging election to be over with…
According to All American Speakers Bureau, John Elway’s fee for a live appearance speaking engagement is $100,000 to $200,000, depending upon the event.
Tim Tebow was either unwilling or incapable of playing a Pro-Set style offence. That’s what it boils down to.
He wasn’t a great NFL QB, obviously and not physically gifted enough to play any other position in the NFL. He was a great college QB and leader and that’s good enough for me.
Fair enough!
He is easily gifted enough to have shifted to H-back or tight end. He wasn’t willing to.
The reason some jobs are coming back is normal..but most should have not been lost in the first place .Because of trump and his lack of coherent response and denial publicly of the seriousness of the virus. Give him some credit for better job numbers is like giving credit to the captain of the Titanic who ran into an iceberg because of incompetence, then getting credit for saving a few lives. Half the jobs haven’t come back yet.If it was handled correctly from the beginning, we would be in a much better situation including all of us being able to attend games. Life in the cult must be fun.
You would know all about living in a cult.
100% agree, delandman
I agree, Trump should not have listened to the “science” and the “experts” who incorrectly predicted millions of deaths even with a full lockdown. He did listen to them, THAT is why we lost all those jobs. The reason some jobs are coming back is normal you say, normal in a Trump economy and recovery that is. Normal in spite of all the Dem governors refusing to let people work and open up their places of business
NoCojones. You’re actually talking some sense now. The dem-wit liberals actually saw this entire Covid debacle as an opportunity to keep Trump from getting re-elected. They couldn’t wait to shut down the economy and keep it down until the election.
Is this CNN or Fox news? No it isn’t. Go whine about politics somewhere else.
I don’t think it surprises anyone, he looks that arrogant on TV. And to those that are knocking Elway—Elway isn’t the one proclaiming how big of a Christian he is and then, charging churches $50k for 30 minutes! Anyone who thinks that’s OK, has some serious problems.
However, as much as I don’t care for him anyway, I would take Tebow of having to listen to that moron Greg McElroy any day! He is a little more narcissistic than Tebow and that is a miracle unto itself.
Tebow was one of the best college QBs ever, but one of the worst NFL QBs ever. His faith had nothing to do with his short career, so stop it with the poor persecuted Christian sob story. There are tons of outspoken Christians in the NFL. Just watch any post game interview, they all thank Jesus for making sure they won their football game against the other team that was simultaneously praying to Jesus for victory.
Grow. Up.
You should do the same. That’s not at all what they are doing.
And yet you think Krap was persecuted. Idiot.
What’s the difference between Krap and Tebow? Krap only started his social justice crusade after it was painstakingly clear he wasn’t good enough to stay in the league, thinking he would be the NFL’s version of Jason Collins.
Doesn’t matter where you post such drivel, every one knows your just a moron.
Tim Tebow is one of the greatest to ever play this game in College. He has set an positive example for the Homeschool community and the Christian community. There is no reason he should be trashed. He was a great player and is an even better person.
Yea. I can’t stand Tim Tebow. I mean what kind of person takes that speaking engagement money and builds kids hospitals in countries that cannot afford to do it themselves. He should be ahsamed of himself. I am sure he probably takes what is left of the money and supports his missionary parents. The nerve of that guy.
Why the attacks now? To sell your book! As I understand, all famous people ask to get pay for their appearances. Even the corrupted Politicians like Obama gets paid for his appearance to do speeches. Elways is jealous of all that Tebow has accomplished, pure Dumbocrat evilness.
Yes, John Elway, HOF quarterback and two-time Super Bowl champion is definitely jealous of Tebow. As noted in another comment, Elway did not write this book and did not authorize it. He is also a known Republican donor and Trump supporter.
The resentment of Tebow from other professional athletes has nothing to do with speaking fees or his religious beliefs. It’s just simple jealousy, rooted in a belief that Tebow’s presence in professional sports is more due to his celebrity than to his ability.
The resentment attributed to the Broncos organization in the book was recently expressed by Andrew Church, a Mets minor leaguer who was cut. Jealousy and resentment are natural human emotions, but professional sports is a business and Timmy does sell tickets.
As for the $50,000 speaking fees, this is not at all out of the ordinary on the evangelical church circuit. The top Southern Gospel performing acts routinely receive appearance fees of $25,000 to $100,000 for appearing at mega church Sunday services (my wife’s uncle sang in a leading Southern Gospel quartet). A Sunday appearance by Tebow or a well known southern Gospel singer or group (which is typically three to five appearances, spread throughout the day) can increase the offerings by a multiple of the appearance fee because of increased attendance.
I suspect Tebow has made many appearances without compensation outside the evangelical circuit. And I seriously doubt that he charges fees for his missionary trips to the Philippines. Finally, the book author bringing these fees up without the above context is rich, considering that Elway charges two to four times more than Tebow for a speaking engagement, according to published information from his booking agent.
Tebow attacking is nothing more than racist liberals smearing any ethnic, cultural, or religious symbol that they assume to be characteristic of Republican voters.
I know right, the arrogance of this guy. Why can’t he just suck, take a knee and sign multi-million dollar NIKE endorsements like a REAL football player.
Tim Tebow wasn’t a great NFL QB but what strikes me is not that he COULDN’T have been a good NFL QB, but that he was done a disservice by his front office and coaching staff. The concerns brought up are things that could have been fixed with coaching. Instead they were allowed to be come features of his game instead of bugs. I feel like 75% of quarterbacking is being coached correctly. Sadly, not many can do it.
True- it needs to be remembered his rookie summer as an NFL QB the coaches etc were on strike. He did not receive the summer coaching all rookie QB’s get. That should factor in to everybody’s assessments.
Not really. He was given an opportunity by the Pats also. No one is questioning their coaching ability. He just wasn’t cut out to play QB at this level.
What did Jesus charge for The Sermon on the Mount?
Well, if this cost anything..”Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.”
Bill, Hill-Dawg, Mo-shelle and Barry do the exact same thing. But you don’t have anything to say about that, right?
Tebow is a fake. Guy is a phony talking about god but want you to put up so much money for his at a boy speech.
Tebow is a class act… Elway can sUck it.
Haters only hate the things they cannot have and the people they cannot be.
His playing abilities aside, nothing says a Christian can’t also be financially successful. Sounds to me like a guy who understood the value of his celebrity. Don’t know about charging to speak at a charity event though. That’s not a good look. But then it says his brother asked to be paid for it so he has some cover if true.
Another hit piece by a nobody writer. Who know if any of this is true. The fact is Tebow led the team to the playoffs and won the first game then couldn’t find a job because of his beliefs. The NFL will let you if if you’re a killer(Ray Lewis), wife beater or drug user but not if you have faith.
You are mentally ill
