A Few Words About Timmy

If you're reading this you probably know that I don't follow any religion, and generally smirk at people who do. Lately, though I think Tim Tebow has been getting more bad press than warranted about his frequently expressed love for Jesus.

I have yet to see him pray for a touchdown. Or a win. All I have seen him do is thank Jesus for everything good which happens to him. When he first got the spotlight, he would not answer interviewers' questions with anything except his Jesus fetish, but lately he has mostly put that aside, Here's a recent interview, he doesn't mention Jesus at all, and the closest he comes is saying he was blessed with having good coaches.



IMHO he's less annoying than all those players who point to heaven or cross themselves when they make a big play.

From my perspective, both football and Christianity are, at best, undeserving of my respect or interest, and at worst, ongoing atrocities.
