[Psalm 51:17]

Some people just don't understand football and the uniforms, or even sports in general. It's like the person that wants to make the pants long, thinking they are too short! They are made that way! 

Putting the name of Jesus on there suggests that Jesus played football, which is just stupid. And it does make it look as though it is the name of the person wearing the jersey because most know that player names on the jersey is the last name. So that means they are saying that Denver has a player with the last name "Jesus", or the fan that is wearing it is named Jesus. Whatever, it's stupid and completely disrepsectful by all those who are not named Jesus.

Tebow really needs to step forward on this and make it clear he doesn't support it.

By the way, wouldn't Jesus play for the Saints? And no He doesn't play football, even though some think He plays quarterback already in New Orleans.

I think it's rather funny how the obvious anti-Christian crowd really has gone after him on his play ability, yet here he is, 3-1 as a starter. Did Orton do that? Nope. And his biggest problem in passing is the complete lack of an offensive line that can actually block, and an offensive scheme that has no clue how to really use the guy effectively.

Many have said he'll never make it as an NFL quarterback. They said Elway was a waste and a failure when he came into the league. They said that Billy Kilmer couldn't throw the ball. Joe Theisman, too small. Same with Doug Flutie, too small. They said Doug Williams couldn't be an NFL quarterback and literally got ran out of Tampa, straight to Washington where he won a Super Bowl MVP trophy! And he couldn't play? Whatever. But then Tampa said Steve Young wasn't worth keeping, and got rid of him to keep Vinny Testeverde. OOPS!

Don't forget about Tony Romo, Michael Vick, and Eli Manning - Romo was just an undrafted free agent coming out of a small college, he's panned out nicely(even though he can be unpredictable, see the Detroit game a few weeks ago). Everyone said Vick was finished after his ordeal a few years ago, he's actually become a better QB now. And everyone said Eli was just a shadow of his brother Peyton. Of course, it remains to be seen if the 1st 2 guys can win a Super Bowl. It's also funny how the QB either gets all the credit, or all the blame, but other parts of the team like the playcalling by coaches, OL play, defense play, etc play a big part of the success/failure.(ie-Vick's Eagles are 3-6 b/c of their porous defense)

Anyhow, yeah, that's no way to witness the gospel of Jesus Christ, by putting his name on some jersey, or for that matter, it's equally as dumb to make bumper stickers on cars, imho. B/c ultimately, it's the HEART that defiles the man.
