New Book About John Elway Paints Terrible Picture Of Tim Tebow

This really isn't a fair criticism. When people get as popular as him the speaking requests get way out of hand. The high price is not just about making money, it's about filtering speaking requests and not having to constantly turn 100's of requests down every day. I know that is what the Robertson's had to do. They tried as long as they could to be affordable but eventually it was just too many requests to handle.

college Gameday crew didnt have the kindest of words about him either... what they said bascially lines up with what this guy says...

Tebow is a Righteous Gemstone.

I know one of his former roommates and he says he’s the real deal just annoying

Why would Elway even go there. Who knew he was such an insecure prick?

So Elways wife was pissed that Tebow wanted money to speak at her “charity” that probably pays family members six figures to do nothing? Man, what an a-hole.

I have no idea if it's true or not, but a now retired college position coach that I know swears that Tebow came to his school and was a complete fraud. I don't specifically remember him saying anything about a speaking fee, but I remember him saying that Tebow required the entire suites area of the stadium secured up for his dressing room and acted like he thought he was a rock star. I know he said he demanded all kinds of shite and then only spoke to the kids for like 5 minutes. I don't remember more of the details but he was not impressed with Tebow at all. Take it for what it's worth. I know, not much but...

Churches are businesses that provide a service. I see nothing wrong with Tebow’s stance. Now if someone asks him to contact a dying fan or something out of pure human compassion and he asks for money for that then that wouldn’t look good.

I’m shocked that a son of a pastor would know how the money flows in and out of churches and that he should ask for a piece of the pastor’s take. Lol

Here's what this means .... Elway : But, but I am the GM and SB winning QB. It's not fair that this kid is more popular than I am, especially in Denver. I'm the Broncos hero, not him.

Tebow passed for 50% completion ratio his rookie year. Elway was 47%. #suckit

So Elway is upset that Tebow wouldn't do a free speaking engagement for one of his wife's pet charities?

It's a slippery slope when you start giving your services away. Next thing you know, everyone wants them for free. Unlike other people, his fee is not going in his pocket, but to his foundation which does great work. As far as the on the field things, shame on the Broncos for not researching him and realize that he was not a NFL QB in the evaluation period.

This really is a dumb story. 50k is/was his market rate for speaking engagements. When you start giving away your services for free or at a steeply discounted rate, you eventually lower your market value. Why pay him 50k when the church down the street had him speak for nothing?

I am shocked by what I read above....no really I am. next you're gonna tell me wrestling is fake, water is wet and Santa doesn't exist.

Tebow is the GOAT CFB player. Elway should show some respect. As for speaking fees: - That's between him and the churches. There are wealthy mega-churches that can easily afford that. - Maybe Tim realized he has to have income beyond pro sports. - Tebow has been on HS, CFB, NFL, and MiLB teams. If he's a jerk then there's a lot of people who know. But is this to say 'this' publicly?

I invited Elway to speak at my kid's Sunday school, and he didn't even respond! Why does Elway hate America?

Tell me again how much the Clintons and Obamas charge to speak at an event? $50K sounds like a deal, and I would rather hear TT speak than Hillary or Barack.

I'm not sure why the speaking fee surprises people. Holy people gotta make a living too.

‘He has no idea what’s going on out there. If the first read doesn’t work, he’s just making it up.’” That was pretty much the entire playbook at Florida, though.
