We already knew Tim Tebow had the ability to kill a man with a forearm and get popcorn to pop by staring at kernels, now he's given yet another example of his superhuman powers. The most popular player in SEC history is saving himself for marriage. Unbelievable. I asked him this afternoon, and he didn't even blink before responding. He handled it masterfully, deftly. He even said he wasn't surprised to get the question. Talk about unflappable.There have been famous virgins in the entertainment world before, think Britney Spears (a lie) and A.C. Green (purportedly true), but has there ever been someone like Tebow who has publicly announced he's a virgin?
I don't think so.

It seems like you are providing a list of the things you do when you can't find someone.
Why is this news? Is this all you have to report? You guys are really scraping the bottom of the barrel for stories.
FOUR FULL PAGES and the FRONT COVER in Sports Illustrated, and did we read ANYTHING about his athletic abilities? (As in "Sports"???) No, we got page after page of bleeding-heart born-again Christian BS. Maybe he's a virgin because no one will HAVE him! And guess what: WE DON'T CARE!!! If we need sob-sister sad-stories, we'll subscribe to "The Watchtower"!!
This is a big deal, because kids need real role models who show the ability to have self control. Everyone else tells them that they are animals with no means of controlling their desires. Well an example of a real man is long overdue.
The goal is not to come up with important stories. The goal is to get people to click and read. It worked, didn't it....?
I think it is great for the young people to hear that you can be successful, a great student and you are willing to wait until you are married before having a sexual relationship. God Bless Tim and the other young people who are doing the same thing.
Bruce:
You are a complete doofus. Please retreat under the rock from whince you came and do not respond to any other stories about people with real values.

Then why are you wasting your time reading the story? Seems to me you could tell what the story was about simply by reading the headline. Maybe you and Bruce need to go back to the gay and lesbian message boards where you came from and quit wasting your and others' time.
You are so right!! Can't anyone have have something private anymore. Good grief, Who's business is that ? If he wasn't a virgin would that make him play better ir worse. Report news!
I think it's nice to hear about an athlete who isnt taking the Wilt Chamberlain route. I'm 17 and I'm the only virgin I know (not a religious thing, just not ready), so congrats to him for having such an amazing amount of self control to never get caught up in the heat of the moment.
Better than you maybe.
Good luck on Tim finding a female virgin to marry. I dont think the virgin thing should be any big deal. The Creator intended for us to only be with one mate.
^5 Tim... stay strong.... I hope youre not looking for a virgin to marry.... Most girls will lie ; )
fyi...i remained a virgin until i was 30, so it is possible for tim to find one! and, i'm attractive too. i remained a virgin b/c i WANTED to, not because I couldn't get laid! trust me...i had PLENTY of offers.
That's why Tebow and Brandon Spikes will never work out.
I understand that he's very religeous but..........SHEESH!
If you ever met this kid and knew of his devotion to his Christianity, you would never really question this statement. This kid is definately a better athlete as you and me and probably most of the NFL. If the teams in the future chooses their mediocre cookie cutter west coast or classic dropback passer, rather than finding creative ways to utilize his talents of a strong accurate arm, quick release, and extremely mobile, the NFL wouldnt be littered with Ryan Leafs and Sage Rosenfelds.
As far as a person, he is as humble as any Christian I know. I dont see why virginity is such an issue to a sports writer. He will eventually not be a virgin.
It takes one to know one.
i wish i were a heisman trophy quarterback winning 2 national championships. Thanks for thinking highly of me.
Have you ever seen his girlfriend? He was asked the question and he answered it hoping a thousand women would volunteer to be his 'first' time. Then he went his apartment to get laid, laughing all the way. He probably has received two dozen offers since this article came out. The author, Clay Travis, is his pimp.
OMG I LMAO that is too funny!
