This week has been a real black eye for sports news. On Monday Michael Vick was sentenced to 23 months for his involvement in financing a dog fighting ring. After an embarrassing defeat to the New Orleans Saints on Monday night, Falcons coach Bobby Petrino shocked his boss, players, and fans by tendering an immediate resignation to take the head coaching job at the University of Arkansas. On Thursday senator Mitchell released a list of those in MLB against whom he has evidence of using performance enhancing drugs.
With all of that negative press attention on the sports world, we need to believe that there are still some heroes and role models we can believe in. Perhaps Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow fits the bill.
