Hundreds mourn the Rev. Al Sharpton's mother - WSJ.com -Hundreds of people packed a small rural church in southeastern Alabama to remember Ada Essie Sharpton, who died at 87 on Thursday after a long battle with Alzheimer's disease and dementia.

Tebow Professes His Evangelical Faith Carefully - NYTimes.com - John Branch and Mary Pilon - As he demonstrates in interviews and throughout his book, in his frequent appearances at churches and prisons, and even at his hugely anticipated and nationally televised introductory news conference for the Jets on Monday, Tebow is far from a firebrand evangelical. With unflappable optimism and politeness, using his gift for artfully preaching without sounding preachy, Tebow mostly discusses his life story — a child of Southern Baptist missionaries in the Philippines who prayed for a son to become a preacher, named for Timothy in the Bible. Football, Tebow says, is his platform for greater good. He talks about the charitable works of his family and his own foundation. And he repeatedly invokes Jesus Christ’s name and the good that comes from committing to a life lived by his creed. He has more followers than most preachers, and evokes more passion than most politicians. But, unlike so many of them, Tebow shows little interest in using his pulpit to take controversial stances.

Just about the moment he mirthfully suggested that we should “blame the guys upstairs” for the most celebrated introduction in the history of backup quarterbacks, it became apparent Monday that we were not going to lay a pecking index finger on him, much less sack him on one lousy issue, football-related or otherwise. He didn’t dodge them. He met them head on and walked away without a wrinkle on his new green tie
Tim Tebow is too powerful a force and he will eventually supplant Mark Sanchez as NY Jets starting quarterback - NY Daily News - Flip Bondy -The presence of three dozen television cameras and 250 media members spoke considerably louder on Monday than Tim Tebow, whose reedy voice doesn’t always carry as far as his wobbly passes. This was a big media event at the Jets’ practice facility in Florham Park, testimony to what is surely Tebow’s manifest destiny when it comes to the Jets’ starting quarterback job.
