TEBOW IS A special person

[smazza]

Fans by now know the legend of Tim Tebow by rote: he plays quarterback as well as anyone in America, sings on stage with the stars of country music, makes girls swoon every time he smiles.

Most college kids go to the beach to check out the hotties.

Tebow goes to third world nations to handle kid's wieners.
