Maybe if Arizona Cardinals Kevin Kolb Praised God Like Tim Tebow

The national media loves Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow.  He might be one of the worst overall quarterbacks in the NFL’s modern era.  Sure, he wins, but it’s not all him.  He had a good defense behind him and he is unconventional.  He is a winner, no doubt.  At the end of the day all that matters is the bottom line – wins and losses.  No one cares how...
