life with the blair's

Tim Tebow.

I thought I would post some random facts about Tim Tebow because he is such a hot name right now.  Well more than just a hot name, but you know what i mean ;)  I think its stinkin amazing how this man proclaims his love for Jesus and his dedication to his faith.  I think its cool that he doesnt do things to draw attention for himself, but because he genuinely just wants to say thanks to the Lord or pray before a game.  He is who is he...and he isnt afraid to stand up for what he believes in.  He is passionate and humble.  Always giving praise to everyone else.  I think we could learn so much from watching how Tim lives his life.  He is definitely an inspiration to me!  

The hot quarterback was recently linked to Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn, but quickly denied the rumor.

Tebow is single!

Deeply religious, Tim has made a personal, public declaration — he’s a virgin.

Tim spends a lot of his off-time at the hospital with sick kids.

Tim, a Heisman Trophy winner, doesn’t take himself too seriously. The 24-year-old’s funny outtakes can be seen on his DVD, “Everything in Between.”

The youngest of five children, Tebow was born in Makati City in the Philippines, to American parents who at the time were serving as Christian Baptist missionaries.

Doctors told Tim’s mother not to go through with the pregnancy due to life-threatening complications, but of course, she refused… and a talented athlete was born. 

Tebow was homeschooled by his mother, who worked to instill the family’s Christian beliefs. When the family moved to Jacksonville, Florida, Tebow was allowed to play football for Nease High School, under a law that specifies homeschooled students may participate on the team of the local school in the school district in which they live.

As one of the most highly recruited quarterback prospects in the nation, Tebow received an athletic scholarship to attend the University of Florida from 
2006 to 2009.

Tebow was awarded the Heisman Trophy in 2007.
 
In 2010, a new rule for the next NCAA football season, dubbed “The Tebow Rule” by media, banned messages on eye paint. Tebow frequently wore references to biblical verses on his eye black, which resulted in huge Google searches during or shortly after the game.

When Tim Tebow wore John 3:16 on his eye black to a certain game, over 92 million people looked that verse up on Google. That means over 92 million people heard the Gospel just because one man took a stand!!  

Tebow was drafted by the Denver Broncos in 2010, and on July 29, signed a five-year contract with the Broncos that had a base value of $11.25 million. In 
2011, he became the team’s starting quarterback.

With his unorthodox skillset, frequent expressions of religion, and ability to help his team win, Tebow has attracted unprecedented praise, criticism, and 
attention from the sports media and beyond.

After Sunday's game...  It also set a Twitter record. Presumably after the touchdown, although it doesn’t clarify, Twitter had a record 9,420 tweets per second about Tebow. That’s the highest ever for a sporting event. (If that’s for the entire game, that’s even more impressive.)

For perspective, that’s more tweets per second than for the Royal Wedding (3,966), the raid on the compound where Osama Bin Laden was killed (5,106) and Steve Jobs’ death (6,049).

 Won’t you be his neighbor? Tebow was recently voted the best celebrity neighbor for 2012, with 11 percent of voters saying they'd like to see him pull up in the next driveway. Tebow edged some A-list names for the honors: Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt (10 percent), and Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux (9 percent of the vote).

I feel like the more I read about him, the more I love the guy.  What a stud!  I dont know if you read this or not, but one of Tim's favorite scriptures is John 3:16.  This past Sunday when they beat the Steelers in OT, Tim threw for 316 yards and averaged 31.6 yards per 10 completed passes.  If that isn't an awesome God testimony I don't know what is!!  I'm definitely rooting for the Broncos this year to win the Super Bowl!!
