University of Florida quarterback Tim Tebow is the kind of guy you just want to hate. But you can’t because he throws touchdown passes for Jesus and there is a special place in Hell for people who hate on the Lord’s No. 1 passer.Opting out of eternal damnation, we instead love The Tebow. After winning the BCS National Championship the week before, he announced to 40,000 alcohol fueled Gator fans this week that he will be coming back to Florida for his senior season. It was like throwing vodka on a fire.
Most of these folks were ecstatic as it was with Tebow’s performance the last few years. Heisman Trophy? Check. Two national championships? Check. Putting a muzzle on Oklahoma’s Bob Stoops? Check and check. So, announcing his return at the end of the rally was very much like yelling, “drinks on the house!” And probably better.
Why else should you love, or hate if you’re into burning forever, Tim Tebow? Because when he’s not playing football or being a great academic, he’s doing missionary work in the Philippines. He visits with sick children or lends a hand doing medical care for those with no access to it. If you really need another reason to admire the guy, just Google: Tim Tebow’s girlfriend. Stop already!
So, congratulations Tim Tebow for being the perfect SOB that makes all of us mere mortals look like Homer Simpson.
