So, if the hype dies down, he starts not winning, people will be Tebow supporters? Bullshit. The guy is exceeding all expectations and is squeaky clean and that somehow makes people not like him. People generally suck and this is a good case study.

That being said, faith is real. I have seen it in my daily life. My young children have "faith" in me to act in their best interests because they know that I love them unconditionally. My wife, who is going through an extremely difficult time in her life right now, has "faith" in me to make decisions for her when she can't. Because she knows that I love her and always will. My boss and my coworkers have "faith" in me to get the job done. They rely on me. They expect me to do my job at a high level of competency because they know that my work ethic, in part, defines who I am.

Right now the Broncos players have "faith" in Tim Tebow. The religious ones see the power of Christ in his daily life. They share a belief system and they know he is committed to it. The non religious ones respect Tebow's beliefs because they know that Tebow's religious views, in part, define who he is. It's not fake. That's who he really is.

So...no. I don't see God working through Tebow. I see the power of the human spirit and it is an awesome thing.

If he was Muslim and praising Allah, he would be villianized by the same people that admire him for "standing up for what he believes in".

If God actually cared about football, I may start praying to him about the Chiefs.

So, of course he cares about football. That's why when the Hunts sold their soul to the Devil back in the early days of the oil fields, He decided to send one of them to Kansas City to punk our asses.
