He is a great example of how a family is suppose to be.


We need more kids like Tim Tebow!

And think, the libs cannot stand him because he is bright, talented and a big heart and had the perfect upbringing that included his religion.
In this day and age, it is just refreshing for young people to have a role model like Tim Tebow. He leads an example of positive behavior and I personally am sick of all the hatred in this country.

We have soldiers fighting for ALL our freedoms - even the haters. They are risking their lives every day so all of us can express our opinion, good or bad.

Once in a while, it's nice to have a Tim Tebow out there. We are all people and need more respect in this country.

Setting him and yourself up for some big disappointment here, sister!

It's a good thing I'm not terribly concerned with your opposition.

The fact that he is aligning himself with this organization and endorsing it says a great deal, and is certainly making a statement and creating an "example."

Bet he would kick you butt around like a sissy.

I don't think I would try him if I was you.

Fact is, take your army with you, you will need it.

The kid is tough and smart.

Way out of your league.


REAL MEN - Do you mean the beer drinking, druggies who are never home? Never there for their kids when they need them?
Ok.

That's what they said about Mike Phelps, and as soon as it was uncovered that he smoked pot, he practically fell off the face of the Earth.

You want to put your great white, hetero, he-man athletes on a pedestal and make them examples for everyone else. That's what this is really about.

I think that they money they spent on the Super Bowl add, should be taxed.

Seeing as they are tax exempt, they seem to have lots of money for a Super Bowl, I see no reason for them to be tax exempt anymore.

Tebow and his mother will share one of their many personal family-affirming stories, Schneeberger said, but he wouldn't reveal which one. One such story could be her decision to carry him to term despite a life-threatening pregnancy in the Philippines where she and her husband Bob were serving as Christian missionaries.

The 2007 Heisman Trophy winner, known for being home-schooled, winning an NCAA championship and wearing Bible verse citations inscribed in his game-day eye black, agreed to appear in the ad because the issue of life is one he and his family feel strongly about, Schneeberger said.

Another sick, bigoted organization being given recognition they don't deserve. Just one more reason for gays and lesbians to not support homophobic, anti-gay professional sports, like football.

Do you think they should not be allowed to buy airtime during the Super Bowl?

Ideally, no, but money talks.
