STACK Blogs about Tim Tebow and Iron Sharpens Iron
Cool blog with STACK Media about D1 Savannah co-owner Tim Tebow and his use of "Iron Sharpens Iron" from Proverbs 27:17.
Here is a clip: On the night before he drove the Broncos to their fourth straight win, an overtime victory over the San Diego Chargers this past Sunday, Tebow was called upon by Denver head coach John Fox to address his teammates.
There’s no questioning Tebow’s oratorical prowess, but how is a second-year player who’s been doubted since the day he was drafted supposed to galvanize veteran teammates like Willis McGahee, Brian Dawkins and team leader Champ Bailey?
By proclaiming a verse from Proverbs 27:17, which reads: “Iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another."
As many D1 athletes know, "Iron Sharpens Iron" is something that is posted around every D1 facility. It is a great verse and truth to live by! CLICK HERE to read the full blog.

D1 Bham's Doc Connor Blogs on Vibram 5 Finger Silliness
Check out the blog below on the Vibram 5 Finger shoes from D1's orthopedic doctor down at D1 Birmingham, Dr. Geoffrey Connor MD.
Today: The Vibram 5 fingers.
Where to begin with this silliness? If you haven’t seen them here is a pic (to be fair, this example of the many versions looks more like a water sock others are a bit more sturdy) . . .
In my opinion the five fingers is really the visionary design (along with well-noted publications referenced below) that have given rise to the current minimalist shoe fad (many variations and manufacturers have since caught on as well). The idea here is that the shoe simply gives a minimal amount of protective padding to your God given natural foot. Beautiful. Simple. Elegant. It’s God’s design after all, right?
