The Truth About Tim Tebow

I want to make something perfectly clear right off the bat. I am NOT a Denver Bronco's fan. I'm a New York Giants diehard. I live and die for the Giants.

I'm also a Tim Tebow fan. No, not because of the way he passes the football - we all know he can't throw it a lick. I'm a Tim Tebow fan because of the type of person he is. And while you can question his throwing ability, you can't question his character - the type of man he is.

Tim Tebow is a good person. Truth be told, they really don't come any better. He's the type of person NFL fans should be proud of. He's not an egomaniac or a diva, and he's an excellent ambassador for the NFL, on and off the field.

The other day he was being interviewed, and they asked him about his recent success as the Bronco's starting quarterback. Tebow did what he always does. He gave credit to his teammates. He said he's been blessed to play with great players - players that make him look better than he really is.

Yes, he actually said that. He gave all the credit for his success to his teammates. But that's the kind of person Tim Tebow is - the type of person he's always been. He puts others first.

So why all the hatred towards this man? What has he ever done to make people hate him so much? Okay, he's over-hyped. But don't blame that on him, blame it on the media. Tim Tebow has never hyped himself up - not once.

Think about it. When have you ever heard Tebow say he was the greatest this or the greatest that? You never have and you never will because Tim Tebow doesn't talk that way. More importantly, he doesn't think that way. He's humble to a fault. It's always about his teammates. It's always about giving credit to others. So, again I ask, why all the hatred towards this man?

Well, I'm here to give Tim Tebow some much deserved love. I'm here to give him his props. Do you want to know what Tebow does better than just about anyone else? He wins. He may not always look pretty doing it, but he finds a way to win. He did it in high school, he did it in college and now, after finally being given an opportunity, he's winning in the NFL.

So, if you're one of those people who don't like Tim Tebow and are rooting for him to fail, have you ever asked yourself why?
