I am about as much a prophet as anybody else. Of course I would call it experience as I have watched football for nearly 50 years, but….

Hopefully the Tebow miracle performing thing will be put on the back burner for a while. I mean, surely the creator of the universe doesn’t really care about football does he?

No. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have taken Baylor this long to get a Heisman.

No Tebow miracle this time - this time he Te-bows out. Gronkowski is my new hero - what a great football name, too.

(Andrew):  Gronkmania!  You were probably a Bronco Nagurski fan back in the day.

I can’t help but be a fan of someone like this, personally.

This just shows what a truly selfless person Tebow actually is. Who else would pray for their opponent to throw more touchdown passes in the first half than he does complete passes? Who else would utter a prayer like ” Lord, deliver me into the hands of my enemies, that I may be humiliated before the whole world.” ? He’s a really great guy. smile

Yeah, but he obviously made it up when he started college so his fellow players and coaches would take him more seriously and pay more attention to him, and he probably just wasn’t tough enough or in good enough shape to play hockey.
