The Denver Post has an above-the-fold facial closeup of 4th string quarterback Tim Tebow today. It shows the black paint football players place under their eyes to blunt the sun. On the black paint Tim had "Mark" on his right cheek and "8:36" on his left. I went to my Bible. Here is Mark 8:36 (Jesus talking to his disciples about his impending death): "What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?"
Tim Tebow has kept his soul, captured the attention of the nation's sports fans, and lost many possible commercial endorsements that anyone else with his national recognition might have received. Above all, he says, he wants to "earn the respect of his teammates and coaches."

He appears to be the real deal...and I think the NCAA has lost its collective (what it had) by saying no more of this...made for fun scripture chasing.
