NewsOk loves the Ship

Even though I live in hell aka oklahoma,  normally, I do not pay close attention to what NewsOk has to say about sports... they mostly promote ou and occasionally osu,  but there is an interesting article about Jordan Shipley in today's edition.  Not sure if I put the link in right...

It's 1:09 pm and ou still sucks.... these last 17 days are DRAGGING BY TOO DAMN SLOW.. I cannot wait til the season is here...

It's not a NewsOK column.

It’s by the Statesman’s Kirk Bohls, which ran in today’s paper and NewsOK just re-ran.

Jordan Shipley

I’ve met with Jordan, he’s one of the nicest and friendliest guys around. He’s really into religious stuff with God…and says thats why plays how he plays…

He’s really into religious stuff with God

Does he have a “My boss is a jewish carpenter” bumper sticker?

I didn’t realize Tebow was a Jewish name.

Bordering sacrilege, but clever!

 Correct Answer

According to WikiAnswers…

“The name Tebow is an anglicized [sic] version of the Flemish name Tibaut. The Tibauts came from what is today Bruges Belgium to the New Amsterdam Colony in the early 17th century. The name was anglicized to the present form (Tebow) sometime after the English coopted the colony in the later part of the same century. The French name Thibault is also a version of the original Frankish name.”

Not sure if they were migrant carpenters or not, but it doesn’t appear for them to be of a Jewish origin or decent. However, by way of biblical grafting, and statement of beheld faith, he would be.
ref; Romans 11:11-24.

Don’t overanalyze the Passion of the Tebow.

Tebow is all powerful and all knowing

He will smite thee.
