The first time Tim Tebow met John Fox was at a dinner in Gainesville, Fla., before the 2010 draft. Halfway through, Tebow excused himself from the table, snuck his credit card to the waiter and whispered, "Make sure I get the check."
Fox grins just thinking about it.

"I've taken hundreds and hundreds of players out to dinner over the years," Fox says, "and that's the one and only time a player has picked up the check. Unbelievable."

This year, Fox repaid the favor.

With Fox's Denver Broncos stinking up the AFC West at 2-5, he used his bye week to junk the old offense and install an Edsel that had been rarely seen in the NFL in 40 years: the read-option running game, an offense carved in Tebow's image.

I don't think we're supposed to post entire articles on the MB.

No we aren't. I went ahead and fixed it. In the future just quote the first couple of paragraphs then post a link to the actual article.

Well, if it helps I'm a lazy mod. Thats the first thing I've done in months.

i think he's coming to the tailgate. . . i'll hold him down while you hit him. . . .

[lgenf]

my favorite line in that piece, was the one about someone farting in the tunnel during pregame and smoking out the team and foxy making a comment about it

I won't ruin it, but it gave me a good chuckle

I'm a giant milkshake with tiny yellow hands. Once you tip me over, I'm pretty much screwed.

Fox got permission to take his team in to most road games two days early, where players bond and howl and dream together, with no distractions. "Cost us a fortune, but John thought it was important," says one Broncos insider. "You get to know a teammate better, you play harder for him."


Didn't know that. Do like it. :salute:

Its a different sort of leadership and motivation than, say, publicly humiliating and berating your subordinates. Seems to be working. Could catch on.

[G_Money]

I thought berating was motivational? :huh:

Wish I could play for that guy.

Not a McD hate thread. I think they already have one.

I had wondered what Fox did to bring these guys so close together. It was obvious something was at work.

With training camp at Dove Valley, I think we really miss this inherent ingredient of team-building. You have to spend some quality time together bonding, away from the comforts of home.

I think it's brilliant, and a very wise investment. Hopefully, they keep it up.

in other words, you gotta drink beer and go bowling together. . . .

Tebow stays back, drinks Gatorade, and studies film.

Besides, he has this horrible bowling motion.

I hope Reilly enjoys his crow.

many disliked the fox hire because of carolina, a bunch of us however were fine with It and wanted to see a different way of doing things, and let the rebuild play out, whats funny is fox finally realized his way of sticking with a guy like orton(or delhome) through losses doesnt get the team to build, his bold ways of changing latley are refreshing, especially since it was thought he was to stubborn and conservative, and I like very much what he has done, I have more faith in this organization today then I have since the insertion of cutler under shanny.

It doesn't? :confused:

No wonder people look at me strange when I wear my "Broncosforums Mod" name tag in public and threaten to delete their posts and ban them if they don't let me cut to the front of the line...

Damn... :tsk:

That is a badass F-16.

[hamrob]

I like Fox...he was the perfect change from McD. He's been there done that and automatically gets respect.

That being said. He repeated, that Orton "Gives us the best chance to win" over and over again.

It wasn't until he finally played TEBOW that we started winning!

I like how it's all come together...Offense, Defense, Special Teams and Coaching. Exactly what Tebow states every interview.

I'm not taking anything away from Fox being a great coach, but Reilly and others shouldn't constantly take away from what Tebow brings to the table either. I just don't understand why everyone has to go out of their way to find the reason for Denver's winning ways...which, just has to be anything....but, Tim Tebow.
