So I had this patient the other night who required a lot of my time so I was in his room a lot. Luckily came with family members who were an amazing help. Well this was the night of the BCS game which was a huge deal down in these parts with FL being the recurring winner so many times. Since I am not from here and couldn't care less about the Jags, Gators or Seminoles for that matter, I don't know much about their players. Well after the game was over, the one particular family member turned the TV on just to watch the post-game interview with the FL QB Tim Tebow. She said she just had to turn it on a for a second because I think she said, Tim was her boy. This wasn't out of the ordinary since just about every person in NE FL thinks this guy is the best thing since sliced bread. Well then she went on to say that Tim goes to her church and is the nicest, most respectful guy. So I started picking her brain and asked what his plans were regarding being drafting since he still has one more year at FL. Well what I didn't know is that he and his family are huge missionairies, going all over the world with their church. Welll, this is the kicker... she said Tim is anxious to get in the NFL because of all the money he can send back to the Philippines where they often go since his parents are from there. I was so suprised. Normally with these huge NFL contracts you see the players spend it on cars, houses, drugs, dog-fighting rings. Seldom do you hear they want the huge contract so they can send it back to a poor country. Amazing!
Having learned that the legendary Tim Tebow is a great, generous person, it will not make me a Gator fan. Seeings how I married into a Buckeye family, I must stay on that bandwagon!!
Enjoy!
