The Denver Broncos’ Tim Tebow went to Tampa, Fla., Friday to appear at a fundraiser and meet with wounded Afghanistan hero Romy Camargo, My Fox Tampa Bay reports.
As he prepares for Saturday night’s NFL playoff game between Denver and New England, Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow told “The NFL Today” host James Brown that his parents taught him the perspective he brings to the sport:
“I think number one is, what my mom and dad preached to me when I was a little kid: Just because you may have athletic ability and you may be able to play a sport doesn’t make you any more special than anybody else,” Tebow said. “Doesn’t mean God loves you more than anybody else.
“We play a sport. It’s a game. At the end of the day, that’s all it is, is a game. It doesn’t make you any better or any worse than anybody else. So by winning a game, you’re no better. By losing a game, you’re no worse. I think by keeping that mentality, it really keeps things in perspective for me to treat everybody the same.”
On “CBS This Morning” Brown discussed his interview with Tebow. (The complete interview will air on “The NFL Today” on CBS Saturday, January 14 at 7:30 p.m. ET, prior to the Broncos-Patriots playoff game.)
