		<description><![CDATA[I certainly think it&#039;s silly to think that god really is speaking to him(hell, i dont even believe in God). But what this does illustrate is the power of positive thinking and focus. Tebow has lots of that regardless of why he has it. It is a good lesson for athletes or anyone else in any profession to have , regardless of how you summon such confidence and focus. 

The Tebow story is a good one. I normally roll my eyes at such religious talk, but to each his own.]]></description>

But that piss poor D aside ESPN showed a stat that US Bronco fans are VERY Familiar with, We have beaten them the last 13 of 15 times we&#039;ve face them. Brady comes to town and EVERYONE picks them. Brady USUALLY leaves with a loss...

You think watching the Packers blow out the Broncos would be a riveting matchup? Seriously? You guys are starting to sound like LSU fans. They&#039;re delusional enough to think they can beat the Packers, too. I&#039;m not saying the Packers can&#039;t be beaten. But it will take a fully functioning NFL team to do it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As a Broncos fan who was very critical of Tim tebow, I can say i have been convereted. However, as a Broncos fan it would dissapoint me if Tebow were to take losing as &quot;just part of Gods plan&quot; and be ok with it as the article suggests.  I am a Christian too but if I lost a game I&#039;d be pissed. I wouldnt blame God I&#039;d just figure he wanted me to try harder. I think Tebow will do the same. He&#039;s a fiery comeptitor and if he were ok with losing and chalking it up to God, he wouldnt be in the position he is. Trust me, God is not deciding the outcomes of these games, but he is absoolutely using Tebow to spread His word, and tebow knows that is the real plan for him. Meanwhile, he can keep right on winning and its ok by us.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If Tim Tebow is such a devout Christian, what is he doing working on the Sabbath, anyway? I suppose preachers work on Sunday, and he&#039;s seems to be spreading the word... 

Love it or hate it, the whole Tebowmania thing has certainly been a fun element to another great NFL season. 

To all the lovers and the haters alike, it probably doesn&#039;t stand a chance of happening, but imagine if the Tebows make the playoffs and roll all the way to the Super Bowl, where they meet...the Undefeated Packers. I get nauseous at the thought of all of the pregame hype and storylines, but damn, that&#039;d make for a pretty riveting matchup. 

Just sayin&#039;!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Believers are gonna believe and doubters are gonna doubt.  And none of it influences the game one way or another.

From where I sit, it&#039;s the Christians in the media that keep this story of a Christian football player magically winning, going.

In rational circles, he&#039;s a game managing QB with a great defense and a last place schedule, whose team has got some great bounces and a lot of luck, which is nothing new in the NFL.

But the media knows that his story is great for web hits, advertising, and...making money, which is always the bottom line.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just because Tebow credits a god with his success doesn&#039;t make it the truth, nor does it clarify whether that god is anything other than the Demiurge. Just saying. It takes a fan-base of belief-sharing Christians to mythologize Tebows run of success as something other than another superstitious quirk... like not washing his practice jersey... or not shaving while a team is winning.

This is the time when, as an opponent, you want a lockerroom of atheists just so you aren&#039;t misattributing his success to some higher power.

And, honestly, can you imagine the friction he would cause if he&#039;d said something like this to a non-christian team-mate?

&quot;Don&#039;t worry. God told me we&#039;re going to go score.&quot;
&quot;What? C&#039;mon, man! Really? Now? I mean, no offense, but just shut up, alright? Why don&#039;t you go listen to the OC instead?&quot;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Even if the Broncos lose to the Pats Sunday(which I personally hope doesn&#039;t happen), it&#039;s still very easy to assume that they will easily go 9-2 under Tebow, which is FAR from what people thought he was going to do, and I&#039;m just putting this out there, if he had started the season, they would probably be 12-4 in the end. Hate him or not, there&#039;s no denying what this kid does for his team.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have read about a hundred comments that say something to the effect of:

&quot;So God cares about football, but he doesn&#039;t care about all those people who are suffering from hunger, tragedies, (fill in the blank)?&quot; 

I understand where people are coming from, but I do want to address these comments. Obviously, I have no idea if God is working through Tim Tebow on the football field. But IF HE IS, I can guarantee you it is not because he cares about football or the Broncos or whatever. And it certainly is NOT because he cares about trivial things like football more than suffering humans. 

IF God is working through Tim Tebow on the football field, it is for one reason: to get people&#039;s attention. To get people to ask questions about faith and God. To get people to see a spark in Tim Tebow and wonder if maybe they should find out more about his love for God. 

And guess what? That&#039;s exactly what is happening. 

Tim Tebow has a huge passion for those suffering people that everyone keeps talking about. Did it ever occur that MAYBE, JUST MAYBE God could be using all of this Tebow hooplah to get more people to think about the things that actually DO matter? 

What if there are people out there who&#039;s faith increases by watching Tim Tebow, and maybe they watch Tim Tebow&#039;s heart and passion for the suffering, and maybe they start to give and help and support those that are suffering too? 

No, God doesn&#039;t care about football. He cares deeply for humans and their suffering. But He realizes that humans pay a lot more to football than to suffering people, and He has to get our attention somehow.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For everyone on here saying &quot;God watches football while people starve&quot; or &quot;God cares about football more than the millions of people dying.&quot;
Let me give you a little background to the Christian faith.
As Christians we serve a God that is Omnipotent or Omniscient which means he is at all places at all times. 
Now I understand for those who are atheist or have different beliefs may not understand that. But as Christians we do. We believe he is the God that created the heavens and the Earth. The God that sent his son to die for our sins, and be raised from the dead. 
So for you to put my God, Tim Tebow&#039;s God in a bottle like that and assume he can only do one thing at a time is insulting and just flat out uneducated. 
I would suggest that if you are going to have opinions about Christianity that they be informed opinions and not just something you came up with. 
Little clue for all of you out there I can give you a little sneak peek to what happens in the end... we win!
Judge Tebow for his football performance all you want, but if you really want to talk religion then let me know, I&#039;ll be here. 
I&#039;ve been a Broncos fan my entire life, and I can honestly say that I am very excited for our future, and the sky is the limit for Tim Tebow. 
God Bless + Go Broncos = GB^2]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Whether or not god is speaking through Timmy (which I believe he is not) the team is on board, and you can&#039;t argue with the results.  I was at the Bears game, and there was a sense that even being 10 points down with 5 minute to go, it wasn&#039;t over...and after the touchdown nearly the whole stadium knew victory was eminent, whether it was in overtime or in regulation. 

Denver faces the most potent offense they have seen this year. Denver&#039;s offense needs to spin the clock with the running game, and the defense needs to get to Brady 3-4 times and force a couple turnovers.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[And for those also saying that if Tebow were to really be anointed by God that he would be doing something more meaningful with his life like healing sick people instead of playing football , I ask you this question; How many people lately have been talking about God now? It&#039;s even on ESPN and the NFL Network. I&#039;ve never seen anything like it. So I&#039;d say he&#039;s doing a pretty good job at healing sick people then. In the end it&#039;s all about your soul. That&#039;s the most important part. 
Plus he is using his foundation to build a hospital in the Phillipines. Probably just the beginning I&#039;d say.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When the Broncos start beating legitimate teams that are superbowl contenders, then i&#039;ll start to believe that Tebow is the real deal.  

Any unbiased football follower will see that he didn&#039;t really perform very well during the Bears game.  If the Bears had Jay Cutler, the game would be a blowout reminiscent of the Lions and Packers game.  Yes, some passes were dropped but there were a few that sailed on him.  Once again, the 3rd down conversion rate was atrocious.  

Matt Prater was the savior and MVP of the Bears game.  Tebow is STILL an inconsistent qb and his flaws will magnify as soon as the Broncos are behind.  

Don&#039;t agree?  EFX does cuz despite the rhetoric you hear to satisfy the Tebowites, Tebow will not be the Broncos franchise QB until he starts producing consistently for 4 qtrs.]]></description>

Despite being a lifelong Broncos fan and a born-again Christian, I have still been hesitant to jump on the Tebow wagon and believe he is a long-term answer at QB.  However, this quote has finally made me decide to jump on board.  Regardless of his FB skills, the leadership alone is invaluable.]]></description>
