ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Tim Tebow had no problem with Detroit Lions linebacker Stephen Tulloch striking the prayerful pose known as "Tebowing" after sacking him last week.
Tebow said he figures Tulloch was just having fun, not mocking him or his Christian faith by participating in the phenomenon that's become an Internet sensation.
The craze began shortly after TV cameras captured Tebow kneeling in quiet reflection while his teammates celebrated their comeback win over the Miami Dolphins two weeks ago.
The Lions joined in the gesture during their 45-10 beatdown of the Broncos on Sunday, including Tulloch's pose after his takedown of Tebow, which has drawn widespread public criticism.
"He was just celebrating, having fun with his teammates and I don't take offense to that," Tebow said.

Wish more players were like him, humble, respectful, and about the game. Of course if the NFL had more players like him the football wouldn't be as good ;) but you know what I'm saying. He's not a great pro player but he's a good dude.
