Amid Tebow-Mania, a Quiet, Dream-Come-True Gesture Reveals Another Side of Quarterback’s Impact

With each dramatic, down-to-the-wire win, the unlikely legend of Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow increases.

Last Sunday’s playoff victory over the heavily favored, defending AFC Champion Pittsburgh Steelers was Tebow’s latest Mile-High Miracle, as he tossed a stunning, game-winning 80-yard touchdown pass on the first play of overtime.

No one, it seems, is immune from Tebow-Mania, whether poking fun (e.g., Late Night host Jimmy Fallon as “Tebowie”) or heaping praise (the ESPN poll naming him the country’s most popular athlete).

Who won’t be tuning in tonight when the 13.5-point underdog Broncos challenge the Goliath-like New England Patriots in Foxborough, Ma., itching to see if Denver’s “David” can put the pigskin in his slingshot and slay all-time-great Tom Brady?

But amid the media hype over his on-field successes—and press-conference declarations of faith—Tebow‘s charitable work and plain ol’ expressions of kindness don’t grab nearly as many headlines.

Like his pregame meeting last Sunday with Bailey Knaub, a Loveland, Co. high schooler who was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease when she was 7 and has since undergone 73 surgeries, including the removal of one of her lungs.

“[Tebow] just came over and said ‘Hi Bailey. It’s such a great opportunity to meet you.’ And he gave me the ball, and I was so excited,” she told CBS Denver.

Knaub, whose disease is called Wegener’s granulomatosis, has been a Tebow fan since his college days and was thrilled when Denver drafted the Heisman Trophy winner. After Knaub’s cousin wrote to the Tim Tebow Foundation about what Bailey had endured, the foundation’s Wish 15 program—which allows children with life-threatening illnesses to meet Tebow—came through big time.

Knaub got primo tickets to the Steelers-Broncos game for her and her family, who all got to spend some time at the game with Tebow’s family and discuss their common faith.

“We believe in prayer and we give all the glory to God,” Knaub’s father Rob said. “He saved her life three different times.”

Then during pregame warmups, Tebow met with Bailey. “He was so generous and kind and so amazing,” she told CBS Denver, adding that he gave her a signed football and a signed rookie card to boot.

“It was so unreal. I was walking on air,” she said. “I couldn’t stop smiling.”

The grins grew even wider after Bailey’s new friend led the Broncos to the next playoff round in thrilling fashion, extending the squad’s storybook run.

“I had a little jump session with my sister and did a little Tebow dance. I was on cloud nine,” Bailey said. “I couldn’t just stop jumping up and down and screaming ‘We’re going to New England!’”

Tebow even mentioned meeting with Bailey when talking to reporters after the huge upset. “I couldn’t believe it that he would take time after such a big win to mention me,” Bailey exclaimed.

Her mother, Kathy, told ESPN’s Rick Reilly that Tebow’s postgame surprises were far from finished.

“Here he’d just played the game of his life, and the first thing he does after his press conference is come find Bailey and ask, ‘Did you get anything to eat?‘ He acted like what he’d just done wasn’t anything, like it was all about Bailey.” Tebow even added extra star power, calling over receiver Demaryius Thomas (who caught the game-winning touchdown) and uber-iconic John Elway to meet the enthralled 16 year old.

“It was the best day of my life,” Bailey said. “Tim Tebow gave me the greatest gift I could ever imagine…the strength for the future. I know now that I can face any obstacle placed in front of me. Tim taught me to never give up because…today might seem bleak but it can’t rain forever and tomorrow is a new day, with new promises.”

      Tebow fans can help fund the Tebow CURE Hospital one dollar at a time.

      JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Nov. 29, 2011 – Calling all Tim Tebow fans! The Tim Tebow Foundation is launching a fundraiser for the recently announced Tebow CURE Hospital in the Philippines. The total expense of building the hospital is $3.1 million, and with only $700,000 left towards that goal, the foundation is asking Tim Tebow fans to consider joining them in this effort.

      The fundraiser, entitled “Dollar Day,” kicks off at 9 am EST Tuesday, November 29, 2011. Every Tim Tebow fan is encouraged to donate $1 each to help the foundation realize this goal. Donations can be made online at http://www.timtebowfoundation.org, and all donors will get receipts for their donations. All proceeds will go directly toward the Tebow CURE Hospital, a combined effort between the Tim Tebow Foundation and CURE International.

      “I am so thankful for my fans and the support they’ve always shown me,” said Tebow. “I am excited for this opportunity for my fans to join me in a project that is so close to my heart.”

      As a life long Patriots fan , I hope the best for Tim, but i hope he loses today. For 20 years we have had season tickets and most people don’t realize after the game is over, players from both teams meet at mid-field, hold hands and pray. It is quite special, but most fans don’t see this because they are gone and the media never shows it. Mr. Tebow is not the first, but is being projected that way. Every once in a while when a player is seriously hurt on the field we see this.

      I was on hand for when Tim Tebow was part of the Florida football team that destroyed the Ohio State Buckeyes to win the National Title. Being an Alum it was painful to watch. But I was impressed with his demeanor and attitude following the game and the days following their victory. His entire career at Florida was one witness after another about the character and principles that God had blessed him with. I wouldn’t consider him a Saint, but he certainly practices what he preaches, and is a great example of living for Christ.

      I’m sure that detractors will continually search as deep as they can to find fault in everything the young man does. That’s the nature of haters, especially those who are enemies of the Cross of Christ. The guy gives of himself and he acknowledges God in everything. I love the guy as a brother in Christ. The haters hate him because he stands for something they are unwilling to stand for, and lack the courage to attempt.

How difficult must life be to go through with nothing more to look forward to than tearing down the next positive thing that comes along to, in some twisted way, lift yourself up. The feeling must be fleeting, because you seem to do it again and again. I wonder if you lay awake at night and cry or do you just seethe all of the time? Your heart has got to be heavy being so hard. Perhaps if you looked within yourself and dealt with what you find, you could be a happier person and not view the world through such a jaded lens.

      Most people don’t hate Tim Tebow, they just hate his diehard fanboys who think he can do nothing wrong on the field.

      My criticism of Tim Tebow has never been anything but on the field analysis. He’s a great guy, very humble and a great leader and role model.

      Fact is, his play style has been up and down and when he plays well, or plays bad but wins all you hear about is how great Tebow is. Then when you try to get a legitimate analysis of his play, you get branded a “hater” or “anti Christian”

      When the Broncos went on a 3 game losing streak to the end season and Tebow played horrible, the Blaze didn’t run stories about how poorly Tebow was playing, all they posted were articles about SNL mocking Tebow, Maher mocking Tebow and Pat Robertson defending him.

      Then, the second they win against the Steelers(and Tebow played well), they couldn’t wait to post how great the win was and how well Tebow played.

      Moderation – why would the Blaze have to print about Tebow when he doesn’t play well? The MSM does enough of that. Not only do they love to print when his team loses, they mock and ridicule him for his faith and how it didn’t help him. Then when he does well, they mock and ridicule that he thinks God is helping him. Even your comment said, “the Blaze didn’t run stories about how poorly Tebow was playing, all they posted were articles about SNL mocking Tebow – Maher mocking Tebow” goes to my point – the MSM is not interested in Tebow’s performance – they rather focus on the faith aspect and only negatively. They openly show their disdain for Christianity and for Tebow who is strong in his faith. Critiquing his performance is a far cry from tebowing as the anchors did after last weekend’s game and mocking his losses as showing God wasn’t with him. Then there was the famous ‘God f’d Tebow’ trash talk – that is not legitimate analysis – and if it is not hate, it is something closely related.

    I am a huge Patriots fan and highly commend Tim Tebow as first of all a True Man of God. He has his priorities right. I feel like I cannot lose either way today no matter who wins the game. God Bless Tim Tebow, a genuine Christian follower and inspiration to all Christian in this post-Christian, even anti-Christian era in which we live in the U.S. Dare I say his is a true patriot as well? It is time for all of us Christians to in the love of Christ stand up, speak up and defend good morals, standards and virtues of true Christianity.

    I love Tebow and think he should drag a big wooden cross over his shoulder when entering the game. Not only will it be a big affront to nonbelievers, it will help warm up his throwing shoulder.

    I’m sure I will be once again amazed by vitriolic comments about Tebow. If you want to bash his skill at the position, that’s your prerogative as a sports fan but, how you can find fault with this kid in any other area is beyond me.

      As a lifelong Cowboy’s fan (over 50 years) I wish we could trade Tony Romo for Tim Tebow…I am sure the Broncos will never let him go now. Besides we have a brain dead owner that thinks he knows football talent. If the Cowbots keep playing like they have been that new stadium will become vacant on gameday…I will never spend another nickle going to see them play…

    Yep. The Lord sure sends the most unlikely of people to us, huh? Again the irony is, most folks don’t see this for what it is. Of course, as the old stories tell us, the people of the times rarely do see who has been sent.

    “Here he’d just played the game of his life, and the first thing he does after his press conference is come find Bailey and ask, ‘Did you get anything to eat?‘ He acted like what he’d just done wasn’t anything, like it was all about Bailey.” Tebow even added extra star power, calling over receiver Demaryius Thomas (who caught the game-winning touchdown) and uber-iconic John Elway to meet the enthralled 16 year old.

    doesn’t that say it all?

      What he did on that one play blew my mind. What he did after the game by asking that girl if she was hungry REALLY blew my mind. To bad we are only hearing this now. Camera crew follow the guys off the field and somehow that couldn’t get that on recorded? Or maybe they did and just left it on the editing floor. Had that been shown to a national audience, I believe more people would be stunned. Thank you lord for your very humble servant, Tim Tebow.

      Thanks blaze for making me cry.

    Tebow doesn’t have to win one more game and he would still be a better man than a ton of other athletes with the me,my and I attitude.

      Tebow is so phony it’s ridiculous. All he does is repeat the same nonsensical stuff every time they put a microphone in front of his face. He’s never had an orginal thought in his life.
