ESPN first reported Wednesday that Tebow got hurt on a third-quarter tackle during Denver’s 45-10 loss, then had trouble sleeping because of the pain and underwent an MRI on his chest Monday.
Team spokesman Patrick Smyth said that while he couldn’t confirm the exact extent or nature of the injuries due to team policy, he acknowledged that Tebow finished the game in considerable pain.
Backup Brady Quinn got ready after Tebow was hit by Vince Wilfork and Rob Ninkovich, but Tebow stayed in.
As a mother of two boys finding their way in the world having to balance their faith with the many challenges in becoming young men, I have to say that I am thrilled to see a role model that I don’t have to say “but his judgment was lacking when he…”.
It’s wonderful to see someone using their talent in a positive way. He is involved in numerous outreach programs. The Tim Tebow Foundation’s mission is “to bring faith, hope and love to those needing a brighter day in their darkest hour of need” and before each game he spends time with children/families dealing with a health crisis.
He has displayed good sportsmanship and determination being labeled the underdog in the NFL and even finished a game in high school with a broken leg.
Too many athletes get caught up in a world of excess with no good values or faith to guide their lives or decisions they make. We’ve heard story after story of famous athletes who cheat, are involved in one sex scandal after another, are caught under the influence of drugs and alcohol maybe even endangering others while driving in that condition and too many other offenses to name them all. Why are they celebrated? Why is their behavior accepted?
While there certainly are lessons to be learned from these bad decisions I hope my boys learn more from Tebow’s good decisions.
