Kurt Warner to Tim Tebow: Tone it down

In Denver, you're a mile high. You're there.

 

There was a pretty good article on NFL.com about how Tebow's speech before the game registered with his teammates.

As long as he's not pushing his beliefs on anyone else, I have no problem with what he's doing. He doesn't strike me as anything other than genuine and just about every reporter I know who has dealt with him says he's the real deal.

When he was in college, I assumed it was a complete act.

 

Yeah, I hate how we're all forced to listen to Tim Tebow talk about Jesus. I'd like just one day to go without it, but the gub'mint straps me to mah listn'in che-air and ah can't close mah eerz.

 

You know who else pulled the Jesus card a lot when he came into the league....Roethlisberger. Never to the extent of Warner and Tebow, but he was pretty evangelical about it was all Jesus and how much Christ guided his way during his rookie year. I was kind of surprised that wasn't pounced on more.

 

You know who talked about God a lot? Jesus.

Look what they did to him.

 

"People hated on Jesus."

Maybe, but damn, he has given people so much more to pounce on. Even before the rape allegations, there was the motorcycle accident.

That said, I don't remember him shoving it into every single interview the way Tebow seems to.

 

He just needs to use more pronouns. Instead of Jesus, God and the Lord's, make it I, me and my--same difference and less confrontational.

 

Ah, but the fans went wild when he returned ... to the Atlanta Hawks!

He's probably worried about being struck down.

 

Sounds like far too much deep thinking and self-awareness for him, but maybe.

 

All my apostles, take some shots!
