I knew it, Tebow has reverted to type.

He's going to speak at a "church" run by a vicious bigot.

While Tim Tebow is struggling to find an NFL team that is willing to sign him, he is apparently having no problem booking speaking gigs as the Jets’ backup quarterback is scheduled to address a Texas megachurch whose pastor is notorious for extremist statements about Roman Catholics, Mormons, Muslims, gays and lesbians and President Obama.

Robert Jeffress of First Baptist Church Dallas gained national attention during his appearance at the Values Voter Summit where he urged Christians to oppose Mitt Romney’s candidacy for the GOP nomination for president because his Mormon faith makes him a member of a “cult” that is “from the pit of Hell.”

Even though Jeffress said that supporting a Mormon would have “eternal consequences” that “outweigh political ones” and lead to God’s judgment, he ended up backing Romney over Obama, whom Jeffress believes is “paving the way for the future reign of the Antichrist.”

Besides Muslims, Jeffress labeled Roman Catholics, Hindus, Muslims, and Buddhists as cult followers. He has called Islam an “evil, evil religion” and claimed that Muslims, Mormons and Jews are destined to Hell.

bone to pick with Teeboy. Bet on the defensive linemen and linebackers to cover the spread.

called him a douchewagon.

Underneath that all that false hero bullshit, he's nothing more than a hateful bigot. I never did like his over rated ass, and I knew he wouldn't make it in the NFL.

4. As a NY Jet fan, may I say Tim needs to find a new profession. He can't throw a football
