"Being a role model is huge," Tebow said. "That’s so much more important than scoring touchdowns or trying to win championships because at the end of the day, that’s just a game. If you can encourage someone, inspire someone and put a smile on their face, that’s actually meaningful. That actually changes peoples' lives, and that’s what I’m in it for."

Tim Tebow was in Naples, Florida where he delivered the keynote address at the Winged Foot Scholar-Athlete Award banquet. Does it get any better than that? (NaplesNews.com)

As much as I couldn't stand Tebow...

while he was thrashing FSU like he did, he truly is a CLASS ACT. I wish more players and people in general would aspire to follow in his footsteps as a human being. Instead, we have players raping, shooting, robbing etc etc etc. Good job TT, keep it up.
