Now Terrell Suggs taking shots at Tebow and God

[scho63]

I want to preface this by saying that I'm not religious at all even though I was raised Catholic. Haven't seen the inside of a church in many years and don't follow or practice religion. Actually somewhat turned off by it but that's a story for another day.

The thing that is really disturbing to me is why is everyone jumping all over God and Tim Tebow? He isn't the first athlete to invoke or thank God, many players do. He doesn't carry a bible into the huddle or try to convert anyone. He just has a strong belief in his faith just like many other Buddhists, Muslims, Jews, Protestants, Baptists, and Hindu worshipping people yet every week someone who has no relation to the game or the Bronco's comes out with what I believe to be anti-Christian or anti-religion views.

How would he be treated if he was a Muslim or Jewish? I don't think the media or other people would say jack squat. I don't like the double standard...

Yeah, he sucks as a QB but let's use that to judge his performance, not his religion.

Am I wrong or is the bashing of Tebow for his religious views justified or fair?

He is a polarizing figure like Muhammad Ali.

Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs made his triumphant return to ESPN’s “First Take” on Tuesday. During his last appearance before the Ravens beat the Steelers in Pittsburgh, he battled with talking head Skip Bayless about Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco. Two months later, Suggs, Flacco and the Ravens are the AFC’s No. 2 seed.

Suggs briefly talked about the team’s 12-4 regular season (“we’re still sitting pretty”), the Week 15 loss to San Diego Chargers (“it was a reality check”) and winning the Lombardi Trophy (“we’ve still got work to do”). But the highlight was Suggs calling out Bayless for his unwavering support of Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow.

“Congratulations to you and your boy, you and your man crush,” Suggs remarked out of nowhere. “We know you’ve got a little man crush with your boy out there in Denver. It’s alright. Congratulations. Y’all made it.”

An incredulous Bayless -- really, though, is there another kind of Bayless? -- asked Suggs for his take on Tebow.

“He’s alright. He’s alright. Let’s be honest, Skip, I can put up the numbers he was [putting up],” he said. “It’s all about numbers, baby. Give me a shot. Let’s see what we can do, create my own offense and hopefully my kicker can nail a 62-yarder to bail me out a few times, Jesus shows up. … That boy be praying on the sidelines, boy. I don’t feel comfortable [if] I’ve got to pray every fourth quarter like, ‘Oh my God, please come save me again.’”

Bayless then asked Suggs if he would rather have Flacco or Tebow, who is 7-4 as a starter in 2011, as his QB.

“Are you kidding me? Why don’t you like my quarterback, Skip? Is it his mustache? Is it his eyebrows? Is it because Tim Tebow is prettier?” Suggs said. “I understand you’ve got your man crush but you can’t force that on the rest of us. We, here in Baltimore, we’ve got a quarterback that fits our personality. … I love the kid. He plays football. He’s my quarterback. I stand by him. And I love him on the sidelines with the ice in his veins.”
Then Suggs summed up Bayless well with this: “My daughter can do your job. My daughter is four years old.”

Exactly. He's the white, Christian, non-boxing, non-shit talking version of Muhammad Ali, only 35 years later.

Tebow would have won last Sunday, but Jesus made him fumble.

So where did he bash Tebow for his religious beliefs?

Beats me. The Tebow fanatics always bring up religion bashing when someone questions the deity that is Tebow.

You don't win a couple national titles and Heisman without talent and to say Tebow doesn't have mojo, it is undeniable that he makes people around him better.

no problem.!

I know this is opening myself up to bashing but oh well it's just the internet.

I like Tebow. He's a crappy QB yes but I like who he is and it's not even about being an outspoken christian... I'm a christian too I just go about it differently than him. But more power to him if he's honestly moved to wear his faith on his sleeve like he does. So many people do the popular thing or avoid critisim at all costs that I find it refreshing for Tebow to be who is he no matter how many people hate on him for it.

I don't like or root for the Broncos but if they win I chuckle and think Go Tebow. I mostly enjoy laughing at the haters I suppose. It's stupid that his faith is so polarizing or even important to anyone but him.
