who continually bash the guy. TT wrote on Medina Highland's- Kory Wiita's-Caringbridge page today, trying to encourage him. Kory had a spinal cord injury in week 10 of high school football.

Here's an article from everyone's "past" favorite huddle.

It looks like TT is one of many football stars, coaches, etc to contact him by reading another story about Kory on the bottom of the page. I hope and pray that this kid recovers.

Media attention whore. He realizes he's not going to play a down in the NFL, so his next best hope is to try to get a job being a motivational speaker. This whole "he's a good guy" needs to stop, he's one of the most selfish egotistical players to have ever played the game, and I, as well as many people across the country, can see right through his tired act.

Its not that we don't think he is a good guy we just are sick of everyone bowing down to him for it, and it all being so publisized(sp?).

The media has done him a disservice.

I dont follow CFB much and even I am sick of hearing about him. I dont see him being a serviceable NFL QB and he is just maximizing his time that he has in the media spotlight because once he goes to a team and fails he just become an average joe like anyone else.

Strike when the iron is hot is what his agent/advisor most likely is tellin him. Garner up enough good will that when the NFL QB career doesnt work it wont seem as bad.

Nice gesture.

Still don't care for him, though i will admit that it is partly the medias fault.

you would think other SEC schools would love this kid leaving and see him rot in hell....


If Michigan, or any Big 10 school for that matter, ever gets a good player again that dominates the conference for a couple years, I sure as hell am not going to deify him.

Selfish?

You all are fucking crazy if you think he is selfish.

But by god you would be all for the praise if this was an Ohio State player doing this.

I honestly doubt it is Tim Tebow. Go to Kory's website. It's a guestbook.

He's only doing this to further is own career as a car salesman/motivational speaker. That is selfish, book it!

Not meaning to be all negative but anyone can make a post and type the name Tim Tebow. That message could have been sent by some kid. If it inspires the injured boy, more power to him thinking it was actually from Tebow.

Im sure T Tebow is on the Caring bridge site. He cares for everyone and tries to motivate people across the globe. People who are trying to get attention wouldnt be going to different countries, prisons, hospitals, charity events, and visiting sick people. People who want attention would be going to places to make money, and would stay away from dangerous places. Its called love for Christ and love for others. Would you go around to prisons and fly to other countries to help the needy for not a single penny? Didnt think so

And how in the world would he be trying to get media attention by visiting a website?

It has nothing to do with christ...If you are a good person in general you will act on those good impulses. I swear every time something good happens it's "christ's doing"... Why can't a guy do some good and it be because he is a good person and wants to see good things happen?
