Tebow, the X Games, and the NFL

Friday, February 1st, 2008

If you're new here, and you're into sports and/or the Christian faith, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Here’s a few small stories circulating around the interwebs…

+ It’s hard not to like Heisman Winner Tim Tebow after reading this BreakawayTV.com piece about the son of missionary parents who ran an orphanage in the Philippines.

+ The Houston Chronicle has a brief piece on Christian extreme athletes becoming more visible at this year’s Winter X Games in Aspen, including Tommy Czeschin, Daniel Ralph, and Kelly Clark.

+ Art Stricklin, writing for the Baptist Press, quotes a few NFL Team chaplains in regards to the strict conduct policies that Roger Goodell is enacting in the NFL. While the NFL claims that the policies have nothing to do with Christianity, some chaplains think otherwise. Interesting read, though i don’t think the policies have anything to do with religion. like someone says in the article, bad behavior is bad business for the NFL.
