Michael Medved has this op-ed in the WSJ, titled The Secrets of Tebow Hatred. "The NFL is generously stocked with forgiven felons, including
millionaire wife beaters and dog killers. So how did a clean-living
quarterback with deep commitments to charitable service and miraculous
last-minute victories become the most controversial player in the
league?"
Yesterday, Fran Tarkenton had this op-ed in the same paper.

Excessive entanglement of church and football notwithstanding, it's so refreshing to see a good role model in sports that I will root for Tebow and the Broncs, particularly given that they are the underdogs.Before every game, no matter what team I was on at the time, the coach would always ask the most devout player to say a prayer.... No one ever asked to win the game, probably for fear that God would punish us for asking. After this moment of devotion, the team would all shout in unison, "Now let's go kill those S.O.B.'s!"
