Statue of Joe Paterno

Football is one of the greatest sports in this planet. It has been cheered yelled and even booed upon by many spectators young and old alike for it gives a different rush of adrenaline. From this sport came out a name that stands out among the best and became eventually a well celebrated man, he is Joe Paterno. Joe or joepa as he is commonly known is the head coach of  Penn State Nittany Lions for nearly 46 years, from 1966 until 2011.

Joe Paterno, the name that has lead his team to numerous victories is also synonymous to controversy. He was accused of covering sexual abuses and failing to protect children from Jerry Sandusky (assistant coach). His tenure as head coach went down the drain for he was fired.

22nd of July, news came in stating that the statue of Joe Paterno, the land mark in Pennsylvania State University was literally removed for tension that indicated Paterno's involvement was more than just a cover up.

It's such a shame, after all the recognitions that he has achieved, everything went down the drain stripping him to a mere mortal, but his records and being a hall of famer will always be immortalized in the annals of football history.

Now you know a little bit of this person........ Let me take you a little further by giving you a gist of his life.

Tim is an American, born in the Philippines by a missionary woman (Pamela). During Pamela's pregnancy with Tim she had an infection which led doctors to rule out that she should undergo abortion for the fetus is deeply affected and had a slim chance of surviving.  Pamela kept the baby  and after nine months delivered Tim to this world.

Tim Tebow, like his parents is deeply religious. He is never ashamed nor naive in telling the world his love for Jesus, in fact he is very vocal about it. Whenever his team mates score a goal, he would thank God and even drop one knee to praise him.(the act is often called tebowing). He has led his team to countless victories and in press conferences and interviews, he always thank God before anything else, a trait that is deeply rooted in Tim's heart making him truly an extra ordinary person in professing his faith


Seldom do we find a person Like Tim Tebow, with his status in life and being a star, he is never driven by wealth, power and money in fact he is very down to earth and always keep his feet on ground. He shares his blessings and setting himself as an example to others.


Tim loves the Philippines for he was born and raised here. During his childhood years, he felt the suffering of the people due to poverty thus, he had a foundation here that helps the needy. Just recently the ground breaking of a hospital in Davao City with a 30 bed capacity and he supports Uncle Dicks Home in Cotabato which houses orphans.
