Reilly on Tebow
January 13, 2012 /
Though I once considered the Denver Broncos my co-favorite team in the NFL, I was hugely disappointed that Tim Tebow led them to an overtime victory over my clearly-number-1-favorite team, the Pittsburgh Steelers. That said, I am like a whole lot of Americans in loving Tim Tebow and what he stands for.
Rick Reilly is now, after what seems like a conversion of sorts, also a Tebow-lover. Read what he has to say.
Wow. I’m impressed. As a UGA fan I have to say I’ve been avoiding the Tebow coverage as much as possible (although I did watch the last 2 games). Basically, I wanted Tebow to prove to me that he is an admirable man where it counts. He just did. So while I can never root for him in football, I am certainly an admirer now.
And that’s what matters the most, if you think about it.
He certainly has got a great response from many more than just his fans. I am not all that enamored with him but I do respect what he stands for and his great athletic ability.
