Dansby sees God working through Tebow
 

Many athletes who believe in God believe that God has a hand in their on-field exploits. Many athletes and non-athletes who believe in God believe that’s a lot of bunk, because it implies that God for whatever reason wants to make the opponents lose and/or look foolish.

As I said in the very first item I ever wrote about football for an Internet-based publication, God has far bigger things to worry about than who wins and loses sporting events.

But I respect the opinions of those who believe otherwise. And Dolphins linebacker Karlos Dansby believes that God is working through Tim Tebow.

Dansby, whose Dolphins were the first victims of Tebowmania, told Jim Rome today that he and other members of the team saw Godliness in Tebow’s stunning comeback from a 15-point deficit in the fourth quarter.

“Us losing to Tim Tebow the way we did, we seen it first hand,” Dansby said on Rome’s radio show. “Young man is blessed. Young man has a special anointing on him. And for God to show himself in that game the way He did, through the guy He did it through, it opened a lot of guys’ eyes on our team. And it brought a lot of guys closer to God, so like I said, everything happens for a reason. . . . My hat goes off to Tim. And God working through him like that, it opened up a lot of eyes. He’s a blessed young man and I wish him much success the rest of his career.”

If guys truly believe that, Tebow will be a magnet for certain free agents. If they believe God is working through Tebow and if that means God will be helping his team win games, why wouldn’t they want to play with Tebow?

:rolleyes:

Tebow is Elway's purgatory

If God loved Tebow he would've put him on an East Coast team that gets media coverage.

It shouldn't take much work, to get this one sent to the DC.

One thing i will say, is there isnt another ****ing way to explain how TeBow all of a sudden comes to live and makes plays. lol Gotta admit that, its a bit freaky lol

If God's watching football games, that might explain the economy.

:facepalm:

Was God's TV not working when they played Detroit?

lawl i don't see what's wrong with a christian athlete

I hate god, and i hate tim tebow, and if you're a fan of god or tebow, I hate you.

That was a test of faith.

I hate humanity

God will probably forgive you if you ask, but I'll die thinking you're a d-bag.

God loves Detroit more than he loves Tebow. That's why Detroit is such a pleasant place.

I think the Broncos have gotten as much media coverage as the East Coast teams now because of Tebow and it is annoying!

Can we lock this topic before it gets into a atheism vs. christianity shitfest

LMAO LMAO LMAO

Well I'm safe so far...

Don't forget females.

And I see Jesus in a dogs ass...

God obviously doesn't care about the multitude of other athletes that pray. Or the kids who prayed every night who didn't get a chance in the NFL.

What a crock.

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

God has always hated the Chiefs. No one denies this.

that mother****er is still leading off every sportscenter and nfl live everyday

its been years since ive seen this pic, but,

LMAOLMAOLMAOLMAOLMAOLMAOLMAOLMAO

I assume God is too busy planning the next epic disaster and programming stoplights to turn red as soon as I approach them to worry about the Broncos.

I'm thinking they've played a week ass schedule and will be exposed the first time the play a decent team.

A few years ago Horseface had a Near Death Experience no one knew about. there was the tunnel and all, then Horseface met God.

God: I wanted to have a chat with you about cheating the salary cap and encouraging the criscoing of your D linemen during you "Super Bowl" years.

Horseface: shit, i knew that was gonna bite me in the ass.

God: Indeed. you are going to suffer 15 years of mentoring my second chosen Son, Tim Tebow. During that time, he will get more media coverage than Manning and Brady put together, enjoy 13 Pro Bowls and win the Super Bowl three times in his last three years.

Horseface: No! He'll ride off in a brighter Rocky Mountain Sunset than me! Can't you just give me a disease or something else?

God: You sinned in football, you shall repent in football. Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho!

its the option offense, of course its gonna melt down at the worst time, and i can't wait

In the Bible, God takes sides all the time. Not sure why he's suddenly supposed to be so non-committal when it comes to pro sports.

Man, wonder how shocked people are going to be when some crazy guy kills or maims him for being a false prophet...

I think the "God working through Tebow" thing is bullshit, honestly. I can't say that it is impossible, there are certainly things out there that I just don't understand, but I don't think it's true. I tend to think that if there is a God that He works more in a Deist sense.

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.

You know what's funny, I was thinking Tebow would be perfect for the Anti Christ role. He could sell the hatred of fundamentalism very easily.

Tebow hate amazes me. Good kid, polite, gifted athlete, wins games, and has strong belief in his religion. Whats wrong with any of that?

Absolutely nothing. I don't share his beliefs but I admire the kid.

Because obsessing over him ignores all the other athletes with just as much character.

If a guy like Tamba Hali played QB, people would love him just as much as they love Tebow.

Virgins are Pussies

It's just a Spring clean from the May Queen.

More so it relates to the hype. Sure he is winning games but I don't see him sustaining this and I don't see the Broncos winning meaningful playoff games or SBs with him under center.

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.

Uhhh, he's a Bronco QB that's winning games and you're reading about him on a Chiefs website during another sh*tty Chiefs season. That could have something to do with it, at least on here...

Definitely not but is your hate ever stronger for someone not in the limelight?

No...and he wouldn't get talked about as much.

Shocking but many also don't agree with some of the extreme views he shares.

Frailty II, starring Tim Tebow.

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".

Squeaky clean? What, do you shower with him, Mr. Sandusky?

Over exposure. People get sick of hearing about him.

A lot of people see their religion & charity as a private affair
& sharing it in public as obnoxious & distasteful
That's three ampersands, so this is serious shit

Matt Castle?

I gotta say, karlos dansby sounds like a ****ing moron. you take a lot of dudes who take blows to the head for a living, you're gonna get shit like that come out of their mouth from time to time.

This may the one and only time that we agree on anything.

+1

I'm sure he would be villianized by some. Maybe even a majority. I personally don't give a shit if he worships pumpkins, as long as his pumpkin belief fuels his mojo and his team mates buy into it.

lolwut?

+2

Heh, no shit. I doubt that God gives a gram of **** about football.

I put that on Facebook a couple months ago, and lost a few friends... lol. I found it hilarious. They found it blasphemous and disrespectful of me. heh

Vegas. :harumph:

God, in his mercy, cares about everything and everybody.

He is the Creator of all things, large and small. He made the great, mysterious Universe and the tiny, little gnats the buzz around your face when you are working on your shrubberies that irritate the living hell out of you and you can't kill because you can't even see the damn things and besides He made about 100 billion of the little bastards things and they must breed like itsy, bitsy, flying rabbits.

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.

Did I mention a **** you?

If not **** YOU.

Hes a Donkey for starters

I actually sent this to a couple of coworkers and put in the subject "It's a Miracle". I stated nothing about Jesus and they got pissy with me. I told them they were the ones who saw it. I just put the picture there.

ROFL I'd be like...Well...bye

Now that I can understand and heartily endorse. The rest is bullshit.

Wrong, dickhead, trick question. Lemmy IS God. /Rex

We have been using less and less option as the weeks have went on. We probably ran the option 5-8 times against Minnesota and 3 of them were playaction passes. Teams have already figured out how to stop it, now Denver is calling plays to counter what teams are doing to stop it and are getting big plays out of it.

Yeah. Tebow has been getting NO media coverage. I've never even heard of him, actually.

:clap: well played

I get what you're saying but..

"and I saw a pale horse"

The airport there is home to another of the 4 horses lol.

The Donks have a pretty good defense & an amazing ability this year to bring the crappy teams they have faced down to they're level of suck.
Thats all it is IMO

So, instead of blaming his and the rest of the defenses play to letting them comeback...he attributes it to "god". How convenient.
