While the media swirls around him with words ad nauseum, Tim Tebow is a man of few words, preferring action instead. But when he does talk, the Denver Bronco player that helped lead his team to a win against the Pittsburgh Steelers this past Sunday packs as much punch with the limited words he speaks as his latest 80-yard pass to Demaryius Thomas.
On Jan. 13, 2012, Tim chose to have his Tim Tebow Foundation Director Erik Dellenback speak for him, sending out press releases about Saturday's Tim Tebow Foundation W15H recipient Zack McLeod, who will get to meet the NFL football player at the big game this weekend betweent the Denver Broncos and the New England Patriots.
But before the upsetting NFL game with the Steelers this last weekend, Tebow tweeted his own words, telling fans what was on his mind: Hebrews 12:1-2.
"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand at the throne of God." (Article continues below)
And that's just what Tebow did: Throw off everything that hindered, ran with perseverance and fixed his eyes on the team's goal and doing it in a Christlike manner.
And after the game Tebow didn't take a public bow and bask in the adoration of a country obsessed with a game involving a piece of leather, as most athletes on the NFL stage of green would have done.
Instead, Tebow tweeted how proud he was of his team's success, highlighting it was a "team effort" and going on to laud Demaryius Thomas for his exceptional prowess too, since he was the football teammate who caught the ball and put the score on the board for the Broncos.
"We couldn't have done it without all of us working together as one...And yeah, DemaryiusT is a beast!"
For those tired of the endless sports commentator takes on whether Tim Tebow is the be-all-end-all saint or an NFL thorn to traditional sports know-it-alls, just take a page out of the Tim Tebow playbook and don't even visit those sports pages or websites.
