The fan mail is still pouring in. I’m getting probably 50-10 emails per day and just haven’t had time to read and answer everyone personally. If you don’t get a response, please don’t get upset. Many of your questions about speaking engagements and autographs can be directed to Jimmy Sexston of The ARM Team (Tim Tebow’s agency).
I am still however getting a lot of emails about the Senior Bowl and Tim Tebow‘s involvement in the Super Bowl ad. Here are a few emails from this weekend that I wanted to share with you.
This past weekend my family and I attended the Senior Bowl. My husband and I surprised my stepson with tickets after an emotional Saturday morning. My stepson is a cancer survivor and a right leg amputee. Saturday was his Make-A-Wish Reveal Day. A day to celebrate the end of the two year journey we have been on through seven surgeries, 44 chemo treatments, and much more. Our seats were near the area where the team walked out onto the field. My stepson was so excited to see you and the other players. We were not able to stay for the entire game due to the weather (Jake was too cold) but he was thrilled! My daughter was also with us and to see the smiles on their faces was PRICELESS! Thank you for all that you do and for being such a wonderful role model. God Bless you in all of your endeavors.
The B Family
and
Tim,
I am taking the time to make this suggestion because of how fine a person you are and your family is. I made an observation today worth sharing. I sense there is more to all of the focus on your throwing mechanics and you being considered lower in the draft than first round. Aside from who cares what round, I care that this not be a masked effort by the NFL and team owners for other not so couragious reasons. That is why I am communicating. Do not let anything undermine your confidence in yourself or your ability. Now what I noticed. I happened to be half watching the Superbowl reruns of SB1 and SB 4. Len Dawson and Hank Stram went to Purdue where I went so I watch with different perspective each time. This time, conscious of your arm motion and having compared it to the QBs in the recent NFL playoff games, I watched Len Dawson throw at least two passes, with time and room to throw, with a very similar long from the hip arm motion to yours. I just suggest you watch those films and think about contacting Len Dawson. Best of luck, not in the draft, but in all you do and decide to do. You will do it well and many people will benefit from your commitment.

Dear Mr. Tebow,
I have been a physician helping causes all over the world as the University of Miami sonsered me. I never looked for any credit or brought my own politics EVER. You have no right to bring politics into sports, especially when religion is part of it. You should be shamed the way you handle your religion and politics. I have no respect for you. I don’t tell people my politics or religion because it is not the right thing to do. Your political advertisemnts during the superbowl is not called for and you shouls withdraw them like a good human being would.

“You have no right to bring politics into sports, especially when religion is part of it.”
No right? You’ve read the Constitution, haven’t you, doc? That little part about FREEDOM OF SPEECH applies here.
As a fellow college student, I find it refreshing for someone to stand up for what they believe in. Not just believing in any old thing but specifically making a stand for Christ in a world that is so anti-Christ. Standing against abortion isn’t some political move, when you are a Christian Christ is involved and is infiltrated into EVERYTHING you do, there is no seperating Christ from a part of your life. I think God is greatly using Tim and am so very happy that he continues to give God the glory even if it makes him seem unpopular. This life isn’t about popularity, he knows that, and will more than likely step on a lot of peoples toes throughout his life, but what he is doing is more important than being seen with great favor in people’s eyes. I wish him the best in his career, and I know he will go far because he has God on his side.
dear mr. tebow i’m a big fan of your i was really sad when i heard you left the team you are the best player ever i’m also from florida too i use to lived in a small town called deland now i live in utah i’m going back in june 3rd through the 24th i wish i can meet you it was my dream to meet you i look up to you as a hero
Tim,
I’m liberal, pro-choice, and not a fundamentalist Christian . Having said that, I want to express my admiration for you as a human being. You are clearly a good and decent person. I thought your superbowl ad was the model of good taste and understatement, and I think you are treated abominably by many of your critics. Do you wear your religion on your sleeve a little too much for my taste? Yes, but that’s your prerogative. Good luck with the Broncos.
Paul
