After a day of practice preparing for the New York Jets and time spent answering questions about their stingy defense, quarterback Tim Tebow discussed an exciting new development taking place with his foundation and its partnership with CURE International.
“We’re building a hospital in the Philippines that we’re very excited about,” Tebow said. “Just trying to make a difference in kids’ lives and brighten their day.”
“I know this is a big game coming up and it’s a big practice today,” he added. “But ultimately that might be the coolest thing I’m doing this week.”
Tebow was born in the Philippines and his parents have been missionaries in the area for years.
Construction of the children’s hospital is set to break ground in January and Tebow said he hopes to visit the site sometime in the offseason.
“It’s just special because you get an opportunity to help some people in need and help people that don’t necessarily have an opportunity to help themselves,” Tebow said. “That’s what my foundation’s all about, to bring faith, hope and love to those needing a brighter day in their darkest hour of need. If we can do that, then it’s something that’s special.”

You gotta love this guy!!!
Must be a nice life when you are able to start at QB for the Broncos Thursday and it’s not even the best thing your life will allow you to do this week….
We need a “Like” and a “dislike” button for our posts. Bay – yours gets a “like”!!!
Found this article on NFL.com. You can see Fox coming around….
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d824253ac/article/smart-like-a-fox-broncos-coach-adapts-to-tebows-strengths
It’s the third time today somebody different posts this article but thanks anyway.
I think some BLOGGERS find the negative in about anything (no one in particular), but here are some positives to look at:
*Magahee only play part of the first quarter – and though he wwas injured he SHOULD BE FAIRLY FRESH*
*It is hard to get ready for a game in 4 days, BUT we are at home and we should be ready for the JETS (same as last year – they likely won’t be ready for us – new OFFESNSE)
*AFTER the short week – WE GET A LONG WEEK TO HEAL AND PREPARE!!!*
*PLUS – I notice the attitude in Denver has change to people actually believing we will WIN!!! Not sure if we will or not, but I predicted a victory – likely with LOTS of RUNNING*
ALL IN ALL = We got a lot to be THANKFUL for: My refference to Thanksgiving!!! LOL
KEEP POSATIVE!!!
GO BRONCOS!!!
I’m wondering if anyone has any theories about all the pass drops?
Good for you TEBOW!!! The hospital in the Phillipeans is really cool!
By the way – I think Tim Tebow is a leader on and off the field and a GREAT person to boot! Keep up all the good you do = on and off the field!!! If there were more TEBOWING this whole world would be a better place!!!
GO TEBOW
GO MAGAHEE
GO BRONCOS
OK – so that is not considered a worthy question…those who think it’s purely bad passing…I dismiss out of hand, figuring those have neither played or watched enough football.
The wobble – is common and wouldn’t even come up except for Tebow haters.
A few bad passes – absolutely normal!
Professional receivers that are having a high rate of dropped passes on a team that seems to be playing beyond its’ own ability – doesn’t make sense to me.
Are they hearing footsteps? – these are pros…
Lockerroom issues? Why is everyone else playing better?
Skill? Not likely?
Timing? Sure…some…but does that explain it?
I’d love to hear a good explanation.
Im with you daddy. Not sure why we see so many! These are good talented players that have shown they can catch! Not understanding why they are leaving so many on the field?!
And where was Demariyus Thomas? Does that guy ever play?! What a wasted 1st pick!
Huge respect to Tebow. Really all of these nfl stars have the money to do this type of thing. Most of them buy diamond earrings and mansions and all the rest, and end up being broke shortly after retiring.
If you look at the bigger picture, forget football, the WORLD is a slightly better place because this guy made it to the NFL and parlayed his money and fame into good works for those who need it most.
I don’t believe the same things Tebow believes. But it doesn’t matter, because those are good works.
Go broncos!
Man, give us guys a break, gotta eat some times, LOL.
To answer your question I believe it’s simply that the WRs are not used to the ball coming at them spinning backwards with Tebow being a leftie, all they have been used to is a right spin coming out of Orton’s hand and all of a sudden it’s spinning the opposite direction, that would cause a lot of balls to slip out until they get used to it.
Bay,that is a good theory only if it is happening in practice too!!!!
Haven’t forgot your bashing of my Vols……….lol/jk!
BTW…next year we take back the East….the Vols that is!!!!!!!!
GO BRONCOS!!!!!!
Daddy bronc, If I understand the question you are looking for reasons the passing game isn’t working?
Well, imo, 1. timing 2. the opposite spin of a left hander might be a contributing factor concerning the drops.
That is it. Even in the nfl Tebow has gotten it done with passing when it was necessary. Consider the texans game last year (yeah it was the worst passing defense in the nfl, but it was still an nfl defense, and 308 yards was what they gave up on average to any given team, not just the broncos.
That miami comeback this year was done in the air.
Franly I don’t get all the hoopla about how Tebow can’t throw. His passing results are stellar in all the stats that count. TDs vs turnovers.
There isn’t a QB I have ever watched that doesn’t have a slight tendency to throw bounce passes to the flat, or whatever.
I distinctly remember a Broncos vs Tampa bay home game in the early 90′s (I was “lucky” enough to be at the stadium for this one) where the broncos were heavy favorites, and the great John Elway was throwing them into the ground all day. Broncos lost, and Elway seemed not to have a single accurate pass all game.
But here Tebow is, with a great passer rating, great TD to INT ratio, a winning record, yada yada yada, But somehow the talking heads have him pegged as not being able to get it done. Doesn’t make sense to me,
To quote Deoin Sanders, “Wasn’t worried about how a Tebow ball look. It get’s there!!!”
Dang it Bay. I don;t think I have seen this mentioned on the boards yet, but 10 min (about the time I took to write the comment) before I post my opinion about the left spin being a problem, you say the same thing.
Now it looks like I am just copying you.
lol
Seniority young man, it counts for something, haha.
lol. true true
I like that explanation Bay –
So…will receivers who have been catching primarily off right handed passers all theirs athletic careers be able to get used to the lefty spin on the ball?
1. In time Tebow and his young receivers will know each other, timing wise.
2. McCoy will get the receivers running the routes they are most comfortable in.
3. DT will achieve optimum health.
4. Tebow reads the defense faster and more accurate.
Does Fox return to attempting to make Tebow a pocket passer?
Do the Broncos ever get any respect?
By the way, I hate to say this, but my opinion has been firmly set that Peyton Manning is the greatest qb ever. Look at the Colts record the year before they drafted, look at their record this year, and then consider Peyton Manning’s w-l record.
I doubt there has ever been a QB (or any player at an position for that matter) in history that was the sole difference between their team winning 10+ on average, and the team going winless without him.
If wins and losses are the most important metric, Peyton Manning is the best ever. I say this as a die hard broncos fan that hates the colts, and only begrudgingly recognizes Peyton Manning’s greatness.
If he retires this year, I will be glad to have watched his career, but super bummed that I watched it as a broncos fan getting our asses kicked.
I would guess that the spin issue is more about a feel than anything else?
Kind of like the touch that a mechanic puts on a nut, or the amount of spice that a cook puts in food. Just practice and repetition in order to modify neural transmission through the brain?
It is arguable that Peyton has done more to carry his team than any QB since…Since…you guessed it, John Elway.
It funny, last 2 years our running backs maybe looked worse than they actually were, and Orton looked way better than he actually was. Why?
McD was an Idiot in the running game (and in so may other ways) but was an absolute genius in the passing game and with QBs. So Moreno suffered, and Orton prospered. Both beyond reason.
This year we get Fox, who loves and knows the run game. So our Backs are all having career years. Oline is loving it. But Fox doesn’t know jack about QBs and the running game, so now our Receiveres, and the passing game in general, are suffering beyond reason.
Go FIgure.
*qbs and the passing game*
I rank Elway above Young – Moreno – Montana – Farve – as the greatest QB ever. Elway did more with less until Davis.
Could it be that this is the reason no QB in Denver has been able to make me happy?
And please. Let’s not hear about McCoy. Talk about dumb luck. Even he was laughing about it. He literally went to a local highschool and photocopied their plays, and they worked.
McCoy gets zero credit, except maybe as a scout. Perhaps we should hire the HS OC that actually drew up those plays that won for us.
I think Brady is more of an athlete than Manning.
Manning is unmatched at reading and dissecting defenses. Manning is picture perfect Pop Warner fundamentals.
Alex – Fox sounded like it was Tebow as the primary consultant.
I actually rank Montana and Young a little lower just cause the teams the played with were absolutely stuffed with HoFers. Montana didn’t do jack with KC. Fact is you can’t really evaluate Montana and Young, cause that 49ers teams would have won with just about anyone at qb.
Yeah, I was glad to hear Fox was taking his players preferences into account. It is smart.
Fox has long been known as a players coach. He listens to his guys, and plans for their strengths. As conservative as he is in some ways, he is perhaps the most radical concerning bending his plan to his roster.
Thanks Daddybronc for bringing up the question about our receivers dropping balls. That is kind of what I was alluding to when I brought up several blogs ago that our receivers didn’t seem to be open very often.
Here’s my lack of knowledge again… I still don’t get why, when we run a play, it just looks like a mess out there…everybody going everywhere, whereas other teams (sometimes) look more smooth. Or is that part of the plan?
Daddy bronc, Ever play frisbee much. If so, you have noticed that when someone throws it to you with reverse spin, you just have to position your hands a little differently, or anticipate the forces a little differently.
It is not harder to catch, you just have to be used to it to catch it the right way.
If Fox were to listen to me:
1. he would never take a knee
2. he would ‘go for it’ on every 4th down.
3. he would always risk 3 points for the opportunity to score seven.
4. he would onside kick about a third of the time
LOL!!!
Remember – it’s about the entertainment!!!
I imagine for a pro receiver, they are so used to right handed throwers that the catching method is very deeply ingrained.
It won’t take to much, but probably even more so at a Pro-Level, it takes a little time for it to sink in that you have to brace your hands a little bit differently for a lefty throw.
On the flip side, perhaps this also helps to account for a lower interception ratio. Not sure about that though.
I think, right now all us bronco fans are on a high.
This jets game is huge. Jets are a team the heads are talking up. They say “true contender.”
So, if we can impose our game plan against the jets …. awesome.
Either all our bubbles will burst this Thursday, or we will all know (and the heads will be forced to admit) that our team is legit.
Just like every game, this is the most important game of the season.
Go Broncos!! Go Tebow!! Go Von Doom!!
Let’s feed some heads some crow!!
All signs point to “lose,” and “you can’t succeed with that in the NFL!” This is precisely why I picked us to win this week. The numbers told me otherwise, but I think that, with Tebow at the helm, and an offense that is so unorthodox, we’re good to go.
Look at it this way: The Raiders knew we were going to be run-happy. They had nothing to stop it. The Chiefs gameplanned hard for our run. They even had film from the Raiders game. THEY were unable to stop it. Obviously the Jets have seen this telegraphed punch from two weeks away. You know what, I don’t think they’re gonna have an answer either. I can’t wait! Semper Broncos!!!
Don’t know why so many are concerned about the limited amount of pass attempts there are only three things that can happen on a pass play and two of them are bad. So run as much as you can, throw when you have to, play solid defense and you will probably be successful.
1972 – I know enough to be entertained by a running offense – but you have to admit – when Tebow cut loose and Deck ran under it…I didn’t breath for forever, and I had ‘buck fever’ all over the place. It took just 4 seconds for me to completely lose my voice – and everyone in my house was fully standing up for all the reruns. We cheered at least 4 times over the same play. My boys all had to go continue the reruns in the front yard. My blood pressure took a full 10 minutes to return to normal.
Um – the short version is that a great pass – is great entertainment.
RO – you are right that all signs point to lose and Bronco fans are on a high.
If we LOSE Carnage and his ilk will have a field day –
Here is where you are wrong – if the Broncos WIN and Tebow looks fantastic – the Broncos will still be ranked behind the Raiders and the Chargers and in the bottom third of teams. Tebow will still be maligned. Fox and Elway will still wonder what to do, and the talking heads will call it a fluke.
Hey guys…not sure how many of you are on Facebook and fans of the Broncos page but I saw this and immediately thought of bay…
*The official Facebook page of the Denver Broncos. Think you or someone you know should be profiled in a Broncos Magazine or Gameday publication as a Broncos Country Citizen? Email broncos.website@broncos.nfl.net and tell us why!*
bay, you are the coolest guy on here and have the respect of so many people…I think you deserve to be highlighted in either the magazine or the gameday publication! You and your boat!

I nominate the BlogFather!!!
Just wanted to let you all know that the Thursday game will not be close. I have seen a lot of close game predictions – ain’t gonna happen. Whatever happens – it will happen in large fashion.
I expect that VonDoom is going to have Sanchez scrambling all day and the offense will have little success at anything. I predict they score 17.
I expect that the Broncos are going to execute against the Jets in fine fashion. Just like Cornell and Haley were saying that they had plans A, B, and C, in place, they just weren’t able to succeed against such a persistent ground game. The Jets are going to wonder what happened and Tebow is going to lay 35 on them.
If I am wrong, I won’t be just a little bit wrong. I will be WOS wrong! See, if the Jets are successful at stopping the run game, they will simultaneously be wearing out the Denver Defense and protecting Sanchez. At this point it gets ugly. McCoy is not that great at adjusting on the fly. The only hope is to cut Tebow’s arm loose and hope for the best.
Now see Bay! it looks so awesome coming from another blogger (daddybronc) The Blogfather!
I love it man! LOL!
gotta say it again! The Blogfather!
GO GET EM’ BOYS!
It’s taken me a LONG time to get it through my thick skull, but I think I’ve finally got it …
Before, when we lost, or played bad, it was ORTON’s fault …
Now, if we play bad or lose, it’s McCoy’s fault – or Fox’s …
I don’t know why I didn’t see this before … just dense, I guess … now I’ll be able to watch Bronco’s games with a clear head, and better understand what’s going on on the field …
And another thing – philanthropy makes a better QB … I think you guys are on to something … geez – if Michael Vick were to give TWICE what he now gives to animal rescue, maybe he’d complete more passes … don’t let him see this blog – it might give him ideas …
“Never under estimate the heart of a Champion”.
That’s what was said about Elway on NFL Network tonight,they were showing and talking about the AFC Championship game against the Jets in 1998!
I think the same thing can be said about Tim Tebow!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think you should change your handle to Weineken!!!!!!!!WHINE-I-CAN!!!
You want another weineken????????????
or how about some french Cries…….
What’s wrong with Tebow helping people???,you’re a strange cat!!!!
1LuvTebow-GoBroncos,
i couldn’t agree with you more! Actually BAY —- I have a proposition for you! I mean this in all seriousness!
Years ago I was fortuante to have received a gift that to this day has remained a secret. I investigated it so much that I finally gave up.
As some of you may know, I from time to time will share a story or two about my son Jadyn. He’s 8 years old! I to the best of my ability try to teach him simplistics things in life that go a long way. Just recently we had a conversation while taking our routine truck ride in the country. I told him;
“Jadyn, I’m going to ask that you remember all of these conversations over the next several years. Many of the things that I am telling you they won’t teach you in school. Today son, I want to explain something to you. At some point in your life you may have the opportunity to do something for someone you’ll never meet! It might be in the way of donating your time to a worthy cause or even helping someone figure out how to solve a problem. Be kind Jadyn, be gracious, become someone that looks to the greater good! Remember Jadyn, you don’t have to know someone to help them, to bring joy to them or to say thanks. After you do that, go to bed that night and sleep tight knowing you did the right thing!”
Bay, as the previous blogger said…you’re respected by almost everybody on here! You have taken countless hours creating the contest that keeps most bloggers in tune with the Broncos. This would include re-posting articles so that we can continue to have a well rounded idea of what’s happeing inside and outside the organization as it pertains to the media. For that I thank you and offer you this.
terry.osborne@countryfinancial.com
Bay, send me an email. Jadyn and I would like you to have something. It’s a minor token of our appreciation. It’s simply to say thanks! Trust me, you won’t be dissapointed and if there was any blogger who would appreciate it, it’s you!
GO GET EM BOYS!
You know, I’d really like to see Spencer Laraen get 7-12 carries if Willis M is unable to go. And many of you are so hard on Ball. He is under appreciated in my opinion. Just like a lot of you are hard on the receivers, and O-line (well not much now) and the D-Line and DJ and Prater and Goody and Dawkins (he can’t keep up in pass coverage) and many of you are hard in the coaching staff. Some of you are hard on Xman. Even still, I’ve seen Elway called out. REALLY?!
Tebow goes 2-8 and all is fine and dandy because we won….Orton goes 2-8 and loses his
starting job. Again.
We have a ‘hybrid running back’ playing the most important position in our team who obviously can do no wrong….
I mean the guy is building hospitals in third world countries
GO BRONCOS!!!!
I suppose a hospital for impoverished American children isn’t philanthropic enough….
