Time stopped last night when word broke of Troy Polamalu’s retirement. Sure Troy was a shadow of his prime years, but his decision to hang up the cleats after 12 great years left me with many questions.

I turned to the internet to see what football’s holiest had to say…. nothing…

Flipped on ESPN, ESPN 2, the Ocho, the app, the webiste. Nothing, nothing, nothing.

Where was Tim Tebow and why had he not yet graced us with his official comment? Something had to be wrong.

Fortunately our prayers were answered this afternoon when the ESPN App sent out word that Tebow also felt Troy Polamalu was indeed tough, smart, and kind.

Thank you ESPN for connecting Steeler Nation with Tim Tebow in these times of grief. You nicknamed yourself the Worldwide Leader in Sports, and today you showed us all exactly why you earned that nickname.

Thank you Tim Tebow for your kind words.
