Tim Tebow

I guess on one hand, I was like, how the heck did 94 million people not know John 3.16? But the other one is I was just thinking, man, what a big God we serve. When I first started putting the eye blacks in the beginning of the year, I thought maybe someone with binoculars might see one. And it wasn't a a big step of courage or faith. It was tiny, tiny. It's nothing.

It was just putting a little eye black because I saw some of my teammates, you know, writing their area code or their mom's name on their eye black. And I thought maybe, you know, someone might be encouraged. And I even thought about putting God bless under my eyes, but I was like, oh, it might be too cheesy. So I did Philippians 4.13 and then I switched to John 3.16 and, and

And then I was just sitting there overwhelmed by what a big God we serve. And then I think it was the next day or something, another Sports Illustrated come out. And the focal point is John 3.16. And you're like, oh my goodness, God, you're such a big God. Well, that game, that national championship game was on January 8th of 2009. And exactly three years later,

To the date I wore it, I was playing for the Denver Broncos, and we were playing the Pittsburgh Steelers in the NFL playoffs. And it was on January 8 of 2012, exactly three years later. I had no idea. Honestly, I really feel like there was so much of me that was just selfish in that moment. not all in the worst way, but some of it of just, man, I wanted to prove the doubters wrong.

I wanted to show them we could do this. I wanted to make a statement. I wanted to win for my team and the fans, my family, and all of this. And again, that's all wrong. But there was a piece of it that was just selfish for me. And I had no idea it was three years later from the day. play this game and we win in overtime. I still think it's the fastest overtime in NFL history and we win.

It's a real moment and it's just like, it's unbelievable and the crowd stays for well over an hour after the game going crazy and going to the locker room and I I change, and I got to go talk to the media, and I don't really want to. And right before I walk in this big room packed full of media, there's all these curtains out front.

And I'm standing in front, and Patrick, our PR guy, there steps in front of me. He said, Timmy, do you realize what happened? And I'm like, yeah. We just beat the Steelers. We're going to play the Patriots. He's like, yeah, I know what happened, dude. Like, why did you ask me such a silly question? And he goes, no. Do you know what happened? And I'm like, I thought I did. Patrick, what happened?
