For years, when I see a "soft" guy I'll ask whomever I'm with, "is he ***, or Christian"? It is honestly difficult, sometimes, to tell the difference between "overly Christian" and "flaming".
Tim Tebow is a perfect example of this phenomena. Just listen to him speak.

Yeah I don't have a problem with how he plays, just the fact that he is so over the top with making sure people know he's a christian. Kneeling and saying a prayer when you get to the sideline after a score?...or right after the clock hits zero after a win? You can do all that in a not "hey look at me fashion".
I understand showing your faith. After every play Polamalu crosses his chest quickly but he doesn't break out into full prayer mode after something big happens.
Add Ray Lewis to that list
I'm completely indifferent on Tebow, I could really care less, but he goes to the sideline and prays. It's not like he drops down on the field and does it so I don't really see how you are saying he does it in hey look at me fashion.

I'm indifferent on the prayer deal, but it is for show. He could pray without the genuflexion, so to speak, but he wants everyone to know he's doing it.

Particularly after the Dolphins game..game over Broncos win, camera pans to Tebow getting ready to go celebrate with his team took a few steps....oh no wait I have to say a quick prayer first even though this camera man is right next to me..cue the Tebowing craze. If that wasn't or didn't look kind of staged or fake then I don't know what. Again I can understand he is passionate about his faith and that he is being himself but come' on, it doesn't have to be as dramatic as he makes it.
He did the same thing lastnight. Player congratulating, then boom all of sudden goes down to one knee with a camera man draped on him while players are trying to celebrate with him. Say a quick prayer to yourself, amen and enjoy the win with your team. Then when the players who want to pray in the middle of the field like quite a bit do, go all out then.
In the end I could care less too but I still can voice my opinion on it and shouldn't be called a "Tebow hater" lol
Yeah I guess. I mean we see all kinds of look at me celebrations that are ridiculous, Ocho Cinco, Favre running around like he's an airplane, most WR when they catch a ball for a first down getting up and giving the dramatic first down signal, special teams guys dancing that they made "A" tackle. All Tebow is doing is praying
I would say he's saying, "look at me, I'm praying"!

He has been doing the same thing since HS. You may not like it but at least he is not some jackass who has to do a celebratory dance every time he makes a tackle.I would say he's saying, "look at me, I'm praying"!
Tebow will always bring out this in people (love/hate), such is life as we know it these days. Dude builds a hospital in the Philippines and the first thing may people think is that he is an ass for mentioning it.
Uhhh, you might want to go back a few posts where I said I am indifferent. I couldn't care less about his religion. I do get a little twitchy listening to him talk (it's his delivery, not the content).
The bottom line is, the gimmick offense won't work for long. Ask Miami about their Wildcat. They rode that all year, in 08 (iirc), and beat bad teams and made the playoffs. There, they were exposed.

Tebow is a Gator so I have to dislike him. Also, what the hell is wrong with Lewis?
Silly me, I tend to not notice ones "indifference" with Tebow when the comment "is he ***, or Christian" is used, because of how he speaks. Might want to hit up merriam-webster.com and look up the definition.
Murderer?
Former Hurricane?
Plays for the Ravens?
That is my Pick Three.

Talk about hate out of one side of your mouth and do it yourself out the other.
Hey hey hey....he only held up the guy as he was getting stabbed. Allegedly.
Talk about missing the point. I have no issue with the Ray Lewis the past 5 or so years (other than being a Raven). He still has a past that is not so glowing. Warrick Dunn, he is not, oops he was a Seminole.

I hate Tim Tebow for no reason other than he shouldn't be playing QB in the NFL and I know, for a fact, that he won't be for very long. That, and he's forcing his dumb ass religion down my throat by me going to anything resembling a sports website/television show and having to see his completely retarded "celebration".
