Peter Tebow and the Theology of Football

          No, the title here is not a typo.
          The NFL playoff process further reduced the Lombardi trophy running to four teams this past weekend. However, the games didn't go over without one intriguing football/theology incident. And I'm not talking about Ray Lewis.
          A good pastor friend of mine posted about this on Facebook. Apparently, Peter Tebow, a current Denver resident and the older brother of outspokenly Christian NFL quarterback Tim Tebow, celebrated the Denver Broncos' loss (and playoff elimination) to the Baltimore Ravens. Peter Tebow, to say the least, strongly implied that this loss was a potential God-given karma for trading his brother to the New York Jets last off-season.
          My friend said the following:
          "Remember, Christians, the world is watching you! Don't give them a reason to doubt that what you say you believe is true! We are not perfect, but we DO control what we put on Facebook/Twitter and what it says about us and the Savior we represent!!"
          You can read the whole story here.
