Among the first things Tim Tebow does upon arriving in every Eastern League city is work to create a sense of baseball normalcy by doing something rather abnormal. He holds a press conference to essentially discuss being a national curiosity, just something he needs to get out of the way.Tebow goes through team stretches and batting practice, and the goofing around on the diamond that is part of the typical pregame routine, but not before standing behind a podium to address what has led him to this point, where it will take him and what people might make of it.No minor leaguer outside of Michael Jordan has had his past and future dissected to this degree."To make this a success, I don't think I have to play in the big leagues," Tebow said, smiling just about every second of a 12-minute meeting with the media before his Binghamton Rumble Ponies opened a three-game series against the Yard Goats at Dunkin' Donuts Park. “My definition [of success] would be doing something that you … [Read more...] about Mike Anthony: Tim Tebow Comfortable And Content In A Life Others Find Fascinating

New SEC coaches trying to build early foundation
More than a decade after Nick Saban took over as the coach of Alabama, the rest of the Southeastern Conference is still trying to figure out how to consistently beat him. A lot of coaches have tried. A lot of them have ended up unemployed. Now a new group will take a shot. Five of the league's 14 programs -- including Texas A&M (Jimbo Fisher), Mississippi State (Joe Moorhead), Arkansas (Chad Morris), Florida (Dan Mullen) and Tennessee (Jeremy Pruitt) -- have a new head coach. Ole Miss coach Matt Luke is in his first season as the permanent head coach after working last season under an interim tag. For those schools, recent spring practices were vital in trying to quickly establish a winning foundation in the unforgiving conference. Morris -- who came to the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville after three years at SMU -- knows it's a daunting challenge. "I definitely think this is an extremely tough league. The best league in college football," Morris said. "It's been proven year … [Read more...] about New SEC coaches trying to build early foundation
SEC’s new coaches try to build winning foundation in spring
David Brandt, Ap Sports Writer Updated 11:25 am, Tuesday, April 24, 2018 More than a decade after Nick Saban took over as the coach of Alabama, the rest of the Southeastern Conference is still trying to figure out how to consistently beat him. A lot of coaches have tried. A lot of them have ended up unemployed. Now a new group will take a shot.

With the death of Billy Graham, Tim Tebow will become our nation’s most influential Christian
With the death of the Rev. Billy Graham on Wednesday, I believe Tim Tebow will someday become the most influential Christian leader in our country.Like Graham, Tebow has the incredible charisma to inspire the masses, the impeccable character to avoid scandal and the uncanny political ability to be beloved and respected by both Republicans and Democrats alike. And like Graham, he has the cult of personality to fill football stadiums and counsel presidents.In fact, I’ve written this before and I will reiterate it here, I believe Tebow could someday be the president himself. If you don’t think that’s a legitimate possibility, then you’re not paying attention to the political landscape in this country. If a controversial reality TV star can become president, then a unifying sports figure and compassionate Christian can certainly get elected as well.Even if he doesn’t choose to go into politics, I believe Tebow, much like Billy Graham in his later years, has … [Read more...] about With the death of Billy Graham, Tim Tebow will become our nation’s most influential Christian
