As many of you know, I am a major Tim Tebow fan. I know certain individuals I work with don't care for the Gators quarterback, but I truly admire the young man. I also have much respect for his coach, Urban Meyer. Two weeks ago, in the Florida vs. Kentucky game, Tebow suffered a concussion that required him to be transported off the field. He's been asked not to even read in order to recuperate. With the game against LSU this weekend, many are questioning whether Tebow should play.
I understand its a big game, #1 vs. #4. I'm a rabid fan as well. But lets be honest. We are talking about a young man's health, his life, his career. No chances should be taken. He's 22 yrs old. I'm afraid to admit, I'm 10 yrs older than him. I feel every twinge from previous injuries because I believed I could push through. I truly hope Urban Meyer decides not to let Tebow play this weekend. I believe the Gators are a good enough team to win the game against LSU without potentially harming one of its biggest assets.
Go Gators!

And THIS is what differentiates you as a huge, loyal fan from rabid, win-at-all-costs fanatics. You realize there really are things more important than winning.
Go Melissa! Hopefully good sense will prevail.
I don't follow sports, I don't know Mr. Tebow, but just based on my brother's action when he broke his leg and was playing basketball with a split, I'd say good sense and sports don't necessarily go hand and hand.
