Or, what if Tim Tebow was a Buddhist or Jew? Would he be getting the support and love he is
receiving now from the American sports world?
As a devout Christian, Tebow has raised many eyebrows inside and outside the sports world.
People are rooting for him because they like his style of play and because he stands for
Conservative principles.
It is virtually impossible to forecast the next misdemeanour, potential or otherwise, to emerge
from Port Vale's boardroom, without descending into the realms of bad-taste fantasy (one of the
major protagonists revealing themselves to be a woman trapped in a man's body, for example).
Presumably believing Christmas to be "a week to bury bad news," Vale chairman Peter Miller
informed everyone, including all fellow board members apparently, that he'd re-mortgaged the club's
Vale Park ground to facilitate a £277,000 loan covering "short-term" cashflow problems, caused by
the collapse of the much-vaunted "investment deal" with American sports turf firm Blue Sky
International (BS).

Lionel Richie? I was going for Craig Johnston meets Bruce Grobbelaar...
This hasn't been the best of periods for Liverpool FC, certainly in terms of PR. With the club
tying itself in all kinds of knots over the Luis Suarez affair, and then Anfield legend Alan Hansen
getting lambasted for his out-dated use of the word "coloured", it's been a heck a few weeks for
the club.
The Cold...
Is pissing off to the last degree. A few well-chosen hours of sunlight aside, the entire day in
this remote corner of Rajasthan is as bone-chilling as watching Overmars running towards you at
full-pelt. No central heating and no adipose have collectively ensured that that I indulge in glum
sighs and sad smileys galore at the turn of the New Year.
The wheels came of Newcastle's bandwagon in the second half at Craven Cottage this afternoon, when
Newcastle conceded five poor goals to Fulham at Craven Cottage and Clint Dempsey hit a hat trick.
That was after Newcastle had dominated the game in the first half and were 1-0 up with a great
goal from Danny Guthrie.
It's been a week for finding positives in things and Spurs' Tim Sherwood has joined the
bandwagon after he presided over a 3-2 defeat at the hands of Leyton Orient at the Lodge.
For Spurs fans, the most striking thing to come from the game was another goal for centre
forward Souleymayne Coulibaly who fired in a 74th minute equaliser before the away side snatched a
winner just two minutes later.
