I know people love to criticize, especially anonymously. I sign my name.<br /><br />What surprises, and saddens me, is the immediate assumption from a few scattered people like you that Tebow's faith is being mocked. I was not doing that, and frankly, I don't care if you're buying it because I know what's in my heart.<br /><br />Most people are having fun with the pose, and see it as a positive. Ed Wilson Tebowed at the end of weather last night, and Ed feels strongly about Tebow's Christian beliefs and values as role model.<br /><br />Tebow gets it, and appreciates it, but predictably some are going to now tell us what's in our heart, and what our intent is instead of taking us at our word, which doesn't sound very Christian does it?<br /><br />I have no doubt, as I've said, that with millions of people now Tebowing, some may be mocking, but I know most of us aren't. We're having fun with an indelible pose from a guy we like and respect.<br /><br />It's not Tebow that polarizes. It's the judgmental followers.Keith Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11030542615109823233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27489210.post-79662141299910429782011-10-28T11:19:59.435-05:002011-10-28T11:19:59.435-05:00Sorry Keith, not buying your comments on Tebow.

It rises to another level to mock someone for openly thanking God and now you act surprised you are receiving some criticism. I thought you were classier than that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27489210.post-46120658836056224172011-10-28T10:48:38.907-05:002011-10-28T10:48:38.907-05:00Update: Tebow's comment on Tebowing: "Lov...Update: Tebow's comment on Tebowing: "Love it!"Keith Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11030542615109823233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27489210.post-41955071964880341552011-10-28T10:44:36.992-05:002011-10-28T10:44:36.992-05:00Can't bring myself to root for the Cardinals b...Can't bring myself to root for the Cardinals but I can't help but respect them, either (and be jealous as a Cubs fan that they've made smart personnel moves in the last few years). As Yogi Berra said 'It ain't over til it's over'. <br /><br />Well said on the Tebow stuff, too. If Tim himself isn't bothered by the critics (he's using it like fuel for his fire to succeed; an appropriate response in my opinion) then no one else should be bothered by it or see it as an attack on his religion, either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27489210.post-52728338937370739102011-10-28T09:33:39.038-05:002011-10-28T09:33:39.038-05:00I've always respected the Cards too, Keith.
