“I know for a fact that Tim is not going to be a part of it,” Robbie Tebow said. “That’s being resolved.”

Parsley teaches that God wants the faithful to be rich. Last year, he asked followers to donate more than $1 million to ward off satanic attacks. In the 2008 presidential election, Republican Sen. John McCain disowned an endorsement from Parsley after learning the pastor called Islam an “anti-Christ” religion.

Parsley’s gathering is called “Contending for the Faith Weekend.” Texas televangelist Kenneth Copeland, who also preaches the prosperity gospel, is another featured speaker, according to the event website.

Mark Youngkin, a spokesman for Parsley, said the quarterback has a contract with the event organizers, who have asked Tebow to reconsider. Youngkin said national advertising for the event had just been approved Tuesday.

“The ball’s in their court at this point,” Youngkin said.

Also, on Tuesday, TLC said it would produce “Preacher Wives” about the women behind the men who run congregations and hold some pretty big sway themselves. The show should have plenty of entertainment value considering the producers are also behind “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” but EW reported some of the women step up to “sermonize.”

The show presumably won’t have an advertiser like Lowe’s making the high-profile decision to pull ads as it did with TLC’s “All-American Muslim.” Which leads to the suggestion that Tebow and a marketer like Lowe’s would do well together in an ad that preaches an uplifting tolerance angle.

Tebow, who led the Broncos to the playoffs for the first time since the 2005 season, comes in at No. 5 among NFL players in marketability in the survey.

The event will be held on March 15, at Christ’s Church-Mandarin on Greenland Road.

The evening will feature a sponsor dinner, silent auction and pre-program tailgate, and a live program with Tebow.

Advance ticket purchase is required for attendance, and tickets for the public go on sale at 6 p.m. today through www.ccajax.org

 
From Tebowbelieve.com:
Join us for an unforgettable evening featuring Tim Tebow, Heisman Trophy winner and Denver Broncos quarterback. As special guest for our 17th Annual Auction and Fundraising Gala, Tim will share how to BELIEVE in the unbelievable. Born to Christian Missionaries, Tim has been open about his faith during his extremely successful career on the football field. Despite his love for the game of football, it remains third on his priority list in life, behind his relationship with Jesus Christ and his family.This motivating, educational and entertaining evening with the two-time NCAA National Football Champion is a fundraiser for Christ’s Church Academy, and all proceeds go towards fulfilling our mission of making disciples through excellence in academics, athletics, and the arts.

“Due to the injuries, it looks like he’s a no-go,” Worthy said.

Tebow played through rib, lung and chest injuries he suffered in Denver’s 45-10 divisional-round loss at New England.

At the start of the third quarter, Tebow tore cartilage on his first rib where it attaches to his sternum, bruised his lung and had fluid buildup in his pleural cavity, an NFL source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

He won’t need surgery, is expected to make a full recovery with some downtime and his offseason training program shouldn’t be affected in any way.

Barcelona – Real Madrid live stream LINK 1

Barcelona – Real Madrid live stream LINK 2

Camp Nou is tonight the meeting place of two, for many, the best teams in the world. A week ago, Barcelona, despite announcements of Real Madrid coach – Jose Mourinho, has reversed the result and came out as winner at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium. Cristiano Ronaldo scored in the 11th minute after well-waged pass sent by Karim Benzema.  Barcelona has once again shown that it is currently a better team than their royal rivals. Second half-time brought changes on the scoreboard. Xavi sends a great ball into the penalty area, Carles Puyol jumps and scores  equalizing goal in the 48th minute. Real Madrid’s performance seemed empty of ideas to break through Barcelona’s defensive line and in the 76th minute comes the punishment. Abidal scores for yet another celebration of Catalan. Real now have to win with 2 goals difference,  which seems like  impossible task because the hosts are undefeated at home this season. Statistical data have no meaning in this game, but note that in the last 19 games Barcelona won 10, Real Madrid came out as winner only 4 times. Who will be ´Copa del Rey´ finalist?

I was delighted to be asked by Denver’s NBC news affiliate, KUSA – 9News, to comment on leadership qualities that business professionals can take from watching this emerging sports star. Here are some of the qualities I think most notably reflect Tebow’s personal brand:

1. Conviction and Values
In any interview of Tim Tebow, we see him communicate with strong conviction. He is passionate and committed to his faith, his team and the strength of his personal values. As we talk about in personal branding, being able to articulate your personal values and show consistency in action towards living them builds your credibility.

2. Authenticity
When interviewed after a win, or a loss, Tebow shares a genuine and authentic appreciation of the situation. We don’t believe he is hiding behind a facade or putting on a “game face” when addressing audiences – from the media, to fans to fellow team members. We feel we are seeing his authenticity.

3. Consistency
Similar to his authenticity, Tebow represents himself consistently with his values. He believes in Christian principles, and they guide his actions towards the people he interacts with. Always. He tells us that he believes in community and giving back. We see evidence of this in the numerous hands-on efforts he delivers through his charity work and philanthropy. His consistency makes him believable and trustworthy.

4. Humility
There is a vulnerability and humility when Tebow is interviewed that makes him very likable. When complimented on a win, he immediately thanks others – from his Lord, to his team to the fans. He doesn’t hog the spotlight; instead he celebrates the success of others. The business leaders I work with strive for conviction of values, authenticity, consistency in actions and humility. In the professional community, we know that collaboration, buy-in and healthy competition come from being able to form relationships that are focused on a common goal and are achieved by acting with integrity. As business continues to navigate the turbulent economy, and particularly with the exciting election season beginning, we can remind ourselves that similar to Tim Tebow (and the entire Broncos organization), there is no predicting the outcome of the game. We can, however, ensure we live and act with integrity, share responsibility and move forward in building our personal brand from a position of strength. When we stay focused on the personal qualities we bring to the table that make us unique, compelling and relevant to target audiences, we build the desired reputation that attracts the opportunities we desire.

For their 60th season in a row (79th overall), Roma are competing in Serie A for 2011–12.

Roma have won Serie A three times, first in 1941–42 then in 1982–83 and again in 2000–01, as well as winning nine Coppa Italia titles and two Supercoppa Italiana titles. On the European stage Roma won an Inter-Cities Fairs Cup in 1960–61, coming close to European Cup victory in 1983–84 (lost the one-legged final played at home against Liverpool after a penalty shootout), and finishing as runners-up in the UEFA Cup for 1990–91 (two-legged aggregate defeat against Internazionale).

Home games are currently played at the Stadio Olimpico, a venue they share with city rivals Lazio. With a capacity of over 72,000, it is the second largest of its kind in Italy, with only San Siro able to seat more. In September 2009 the club unveiled plans to build a new 55,000-capacity stadium in the western suburbs of Rome. Its design was modeled after English football stadiums with the objective being to give fans a closer view of the pitch.[1] In September 2011, it was announced that the new president, Thomas DiBenedetto, had reached an agreement with the mayor of Rome, Gianni Alemanno, to have the new stadium completed by 2014. Like the previous plan by Sensi, this new stadium is to be modeled after English stadiums.[2]
