PEYTON MANNING 35, PICKS DENVER BRONCOS – TIM TEBOW’S FUTURE STRONG, THOUGH CLOUDY AT PRESENT
After galavanting around almost every football team, Peyton Manning 36 has opted for Colorado’s lure, signing with the Denver Broncos.
Up until he signed, Manning was billed as the the most prominent free agent in NFL history. The Denver Broncos ‘won the prize of lofty new expectations.’
USA’s break out quarterback phenomenon star of 2012, Tim Tebow, just might be feeling a bit of pressure, or, an opportunity to learn from a new teacher in his team.
USA today reports: “Manning, who turns 36 on Saturday, instantly pushes Tim Tebow out of a starting job and assumes his quest to win a second Super Bowl with the franchise hoping to repeat the glory it achieved more than 13 years ago with coach John Elway. Although the USA media are running with the story angle of ‘Tebow’s future now cloudy’ – at least it’s a ‘cloud’ full of some of the best football knowledge America can offer Tebow as a future star of the game. He’d be wise to stay under the cloud then if he can.
For more – head to USA Today.
However, young Tebow may not have that option, Business Insider is speculating today that the Bronco’s will trade Tebow in light of Manning’s signing and that Tebow won’t be released as a free agent, like Manning was on arrival to the Broncos. Read that here.

JOHN ELWAY TALKS BOLSTERING TIM TEBOW’S POCKET WORK AS BRONCO’S STARTER
Denver is in the spotlight regarding the ongoing management of Tim Tebow‘s future football prospects as the eyes of America turn towards John Elway of Denver Broncos management on a very significant week for the team.
The Denver Post reports, “in a season-ending question-and-answer session with head coach John Fox, executive vice president of football operations John Elway and general manager Brian Xanders, that this offseason will be all about the football for Tebow.
Coaching goals being set for Tebow are all about not staring down receivers, improving his footwork in the pocket, being more accurate, and playing more inside the pocket than outside. Looking after Bronco’s investment, Elway said he will go as far as to jump into things himself, working some on the field with Tebow as well as in the video study.”
ESPN’s Sportscenter features video of John Elway saying he believes Tim Tebow has earned the right to enter training camp as the starter.

FOCUS ON THE FAMILY DEBUT TIM TEBOW INSPIRED AD DURING PATRIOTS-BRONCOS FOOTBALL GAME
The HuffingtonPost promo-ed Focus on The Family‘s new ad, that is said to be a John 3: 16 – Tim Tebow inspired ad. The commercial was aired during the New England Patriots and Denver Broncos football game yesterday.
Any piece of art that reminds the world to consider the needs of children in the world gets my vote, hence playing this down today. In such times where the wealthy have increased their wealth 3 fold -even in the context of the last 3 years of 1930′s styled global recession – family organizations and community organizations who are mindful of real peoples needs in communities are being increasingly more important.
On that note, Focus On The Family exists to: “help families thrive.” To learn how you can help this organization, help your community, go here if you’d like to. As long as the organization is teaching families to be strong, in order to help families beyond one’s own family – than again, it is worthy of support. I am a fan of the nuclear family as a building block of community, yet the world today is so diverse in the way families have found each other and now work together for the good of raising better people. If focus on the family can support all families towards a far reaching purpose- let’s give them some love, today.
Perhaps pitching a message of children being valued more than making… say… just another million bucks for one’s own pocket, to a football audience was a good marketing plan – yesterday. Football is a community-focused sport, as a rule. A football audience understands how important families are. Especially children. True love is all about giving more. Peace.

TOM BRADY DELIVERS FOR NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS
Guest football commentary from Barry Svrluga for the Washington Post goes like this:
“FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – There may have been a time – in the middle of the week, in the hours before kickoff, even early in the second quarter, though that’s a stretch – when it seemed feasible that Tim Tebow and his Denver Broncos could have beaten Tom Brady and his New England Patriots.
Then this AFC divisional playoff game started. Less than two minutes in, the Patriots were up by a touchdown. Less than six minutes later, they were up by two. Over the final 2 1/2 minutes of a freakishly good first half, they scored two more to go up by 28 points.
All that pregame dissection of Tebow’s throwing motion and Tebow’s beliefs and Tebow’s leadership and Tebow’s deficiencies seemed downright silly, because the vastly superior player, Brady, and the clearly superior team, New England, won in a never-in-doubt romp, 45-10, in which Brady tied an NFL playoff record with six touchdown passes.

SWS WORLD SPORTS ON TIM TEBOW’S ESPN ATHLETE POLL, #1 – 2012
SWS blog writes on Tim Tebow‘s overnight popularity as ESPN’s no1 most popular athlete from the USA in a recent poll:
“Even though Tebow has accomplished a lot, he is probably the worst athlete to be named the most popular.”
Do you agree or disagree with SWS’s comments?

JOHN ELWAY, DEMARYIUS THOMAS, COACH JOHN FOX – DESERVE CREDIT FOR TEBOW’S BRONCO WIN – WASHINGTON POST
[Photo - John Elway, Giant Electric Blogspot Blog]
Sports writer Cindy Boren of the Washington Post writes a good article about Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
“Tebow’s line in the Broncos’ 29-23 overtime victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers — an eerie 316 yards passing on 10 completions for a 31.6-yard average — means, once again, that supernatural significance is being assigned to a mere football game, with the Good Book trouncing the playbook.”
On Horiwood.Com at the time of writing, John 3 16 is the no.1 search term, Tim Tebow’s favorite verse of scripture.
Boren adds, “While the Biblical tie-in makes a tidy story line, let’s give a little credit to John Elway, Demaryius Thomas, Coach John Fox, a home-field advantage and the age and injuries that caught up to the Steelers.”

Fair enough. As well as talented players, winning football is all about teamwork too.
Elway, a Hall of Fame QB and Denver Broncos VP of football operations job is to manage Tebow and be his harshest critic. Boran, along with Matthew Brooks in an earlier article, had looked at how the Broncos in a wildcard game went in against The Steelers off the back of a 3 game losing streak. Elways pre-match advice to Tebow had been, “The key thing … is to go out, put everything behind him, go through his progressions and pull the trigger.
“It doesn’t matter how you win it,” Elway said, “as long as you win it.”
After the game, John Elway said to ESPN’s Ed Werner, “He really answered the bell. He came out and played great. You know what? He pulled that trigger. He put it on the money.”
Boren writes, “Thomas, who caught the game-winning touchdown pass that covered 80 yards, also caught passes for 51 and 58 yards in regulation. The Steelers’ pass defense was dealing with the absence of Ryan Clark, as well as age and injuries. By now, though, you know where Tebow placed the credit for his stellar, no-turnover game. “First and foremost, I just want to thank my savior, the Lord, Jesus Christ,” Tebow said afterward. “I am so thankful for the platform God has given me.””
Well said.

JOHN 3: 16 – TIM TEBOW’S FOOTBALL DESTINY AN EVERLASTING LEGACY OF LOVE
At the time of writing John 3: 16 is the most discussed topic in the USA.
The Big Lead writes: “Yes, Tim Tebow Threw For 316 Yards Against Pittsburgh and He Had John 3:16 on His Eye Black Once in College.”
Rant Sports writes: “Tim Tebow goes John 3:16 on the Pittsburgh Steelers“
TBL provides these video clips too, writing: “Tim Tebow wrote the Bible verse John 3:16 on his eye black at the 2009 BCS title game. Here’s video of him talking about it after his team beat Oklahoma for the title.”
John 3: 16 is a verse of scripture from The New Testament written by Jesus‘ disciple who was known as John The Apostle of Love, because the book he wrote (The Book of John), has the word “love” used the most times out of the four books written by disciples - giving witness of Jesus’ life acts and life on earth. This 4 set of books is known as “The Gospels.”
Most importantly though, John 3: 16 says this:
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotton Son, so that whoever believes in him will not perish, but have everlasting life.”
I love the fact that the eternal God is absolutely demoratic… Whoever believes.
(I like verse 17 too, that talks about God not being a condemning God… but I guess that’s another football match, and another football lesson). We’ll have to wait for that from Tim Tebow, or another footballer with faith too. In the meantime, watch these clips.
It’s like watching a football star’s faith and destiny unfold on the football field – speaking of a legacy of everlasting love. Totally normal really if you have faith that’s real. And yet, totally surreal as well. In fact, the book of John, you could just take one verse a day, and mull it over. It’s so rich in promises of goodness to anyone who believes.
Real State Bloom.Com writes that the verse is a favorite of the Denver Broncos team.
Tebow’s faith and football story reminds me of New Zealand’s Michael Jones‘ rugby football story. A lot of parallels here.

KYLE ORTON SIGNS TO THE KANSAS CITY CHIEFS
Days after getting dumped by the Denver Broncos, Kyle Orton has signed with the Kansas City Chiefs. It has been a roller coaster week of football reshuffling for Orton. The Washington Post/ AP reports: “ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Kyle Orton’s departure now includes a return trip to Denver.
Orton and his new team will travel to Denver for the season finale on Jan. 1. Tim Tebow supplanted Orton after a 1-4 start and has gone 4-1 to help the Broncos climb back into the AFC West race, a game behind Oakland.
Orton has a chance to go to a place where he could wind up with the starting job, especially with Matt Cassel undergoing season-ending hand surgery and his replacement, Tyler Palko, throwing three interceptions in a loss to New England on Monday night that dropped the Chiefs to 4-6.
“Good for him. Congratulations to him,” Tebow said upon hearing the news Wednesday that Orton was staying in the division. “That will be fun to play him the last game of the year.”
The fact Orton might return to Mile High on the opposing sideline was a risk the Broncos were willing to take.” More on this story can be viewed here.

Yahoo Sports on Tim Tebow‘s Popularity: “Who has a weird throwing motion, two fingers constantly pointed skyward and is the most popular athlete in America? Timothy Richard Tebow, that’s who.
The Denver Broncos quarterback finished first in an ESPN Sports Poll asking Americans about their favorite active athlete. In the survey of 1,502 sports fans over the age of 12, Tebow finished ahead of Kobe Bryant, Aaron Rodgers, Peyton Manning and Tom Brady. The second-year veteran earned 3 percent of the vote, well ahead of Bryant’s 2 percent.
ESPN has been conducting the poll every month for the last 18 years. Tebow is just the 11th athlete to top the list and only the sixth in the past five years.”
