So it is indeed classy to call other people obscene names? I think not. If you have a problem with my statements, have at it. But you attacking me personally is classless. 

Additionally, I'm not trolling Christianity - I'm merely stating facts. Tebow interwined his religion with football, which is why both subjects are relevant here. If you like Tebow, fine. I personally think he was a great college player and an awful NFL qb. But acting as though his consistent invocation of his faith and football are mutually exlcusive (or irrelevant to this discussion) is disingenous.

No what makes you classless is you're a hypocrite. You introduced Christianity in the discourse; nobody else. OWN WHAT YOU SAY! I could give a flying leap about Tebow. You could have talked about all the hype he had coming out of college... and how he didn't live up to it. You could have talked about horrible throwing mechanics. You could have talked about him as an interception machine. The perception of, or lack of, mutual exclusivity has nothing to do with it. But you went for the low hanging fruit. You brought up something personal about him... hmmm, and then you have the nerve to complain about being attacked while attacking someone else's faith? You're a hypocrite twice over in this thread. Again, own what you say before you point your finger at me.

I'm not a Tebow-maniac like the people around Denver who still wear his jersey, but if you recall, Denard did the same thing after a touchdown.  What makes Tebow bad and Denard good?  Just curious.

They have an awesome father/son chemistry. I thought it was pretty cool.

Tebow talks too fast and "speechy" as a commentator, but in that interview he was calm and kind of funny.

I thought it was enjoyable. Tebow should watch tape on it and slow down whenever he's speaking because he did a very solid job.

I'm on firstrowsports... you HAVE to use Chrome and Adblock or it's unbearable (and will probably put some crap on your computer).  Put this bit of code (no more, no less) in your "Manually edit your filters" section:

There is probably limited interest in seeing a badger eviscerated on the field. That, and it is the last thing I would want to see if I were ambling into a stadium after a rather generous celebration last night. It definitely would bring down the mood anyway.
