Tim Tebow was fined by teammates for each day ‘Play Tebow’ billboard was up

Getty Images Remember that pro-Tebow billboard put up in Denver urging John Fox to start him? Well, it appears that Tim’s Denver Broncos teammates weren’t exactly kind to him when it was put up.
Apparently, some of his teammates decided to start fining Tebow unless he spoke out against the billboard:
Jeff Darlington of NFL Network reports that four days after the billboard went up, Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow was fined by teammates including Kyle Orton for not publicly scolding the sign-makers.
The fines mounted for six days until Broncos coach John Fox replaced Orton with Tebow as the starter, and the sign came down.
The sign itself was put up by Tariq, Ali, and Mohammad Suleimans who work for Multiline International Imports that owns a digital billboard near the Broncos stadium:
“We had someone call us and say, ‘You guys single-handedly changed the course of the Broncos,’” said Tariq, 30. “Not that we’re agreeing, of course.”
The Suleiman brothers are also a bit miffed at Tebow’s silence on the sign, but for a different reason. “We haven’t seen Tebow come down and thank us yet,” Mohammad said with a grin. “We’re waiting for him to come see us.”

I do believe there is a curse with NIKE… the company named in honor of the pagan goddess NIKE… the goddess that originated with Satan to take honor away from the Most High God.
Just look at Tim Tebow… he promotes NIKE now.
I rest my case.

I’ve got no idea what this means, but it made me chuckle, for whatever reason.

“Tariq, Ali, and Mohammad Suleimans”
Tebow converted them, obviously.
