Tebow wars, part 666

A market for Tebow
Two weeks ago, my husband informed me that April 22 was his second favorite day of the year. What’s so special about this day, you ask? The NFL draft, and he plans to plant himself in front of a television set most of the day. (His favorite day is the NFL’s opening day, which might coincide with our September anniversary someday).

NYTs enters Baltimore schools war
Most great stories feature a compelling good guy and a nasty bad guy, the kind of villain that likes to tear down good people and places. It also helps if the story includes some giant, transcendent symbol that is in danger of being destroyed.

Sacred Sundays, even for rugby
When I attended Wheaton College, one of the schools with an exemption so athletes aren’t forced to play varsity sports on Sunday, there was speculation the NCAA repeatedly scheduled one talented Wheaton athlete to meet the toughest opponent in the playoffs.

Tebow's Christianity like NFL leprosy?
First Tim Tebow, one of the best football players ever to play the college game, had too elongated a throwing motion to play on Sundays. Now that his delivery is no longer an issue, NFL teams are worried about the “challenges” that would come with signing a rookie so overtly Christian.
