I have to give Fernando his flowers here. During yesterday’s event, amongst hundreds of people shouting off the top of their lungs to get his attention, an event usher informed him that this young fan wished to ask him a few questions before he addressed the crowd. With no hesitation, he makes a few moments for her, even with fans having waited hours to see him. Speaks to the person he is and I’m so thrilled to have a person of this character representing our team for the foreseeable future. Great job, Fernando!
I remember when Tim Tebow was at Florida preaching about virginity...no one thought he would be able to sustain his purity image.
Here we are 20 years later...through 20 years of social media. 20 years of it being incredibly difficult to hide anything. And Tim Tebow is still crystal clean. This dude actually practices what he preaches. Very rare...
Tim Tebow should be celebrated
If Maxx didn’t speak on anything —team officials and BIG media would control the narrative & messaging of the story since they all talk with each other
Raiders had “no comment”
Ravens pushed “concern over MRI”
Media echoed and steered knee concerns
Then everyone else interprets how they want to interpret —and argue over it all
The player usually has no voice and has to “shut up and play”
Maxx is a player that has a voice because he’s one of the best players in the league that also has zero “diva” tendencies to him. There’s no questioning his work ethic and will to win.
And it pains me that I have to glaze him —but I’ve been a teammate of his (he’s also lil bro) and I’m aware of how the game works
You don’t like what he said because it shows more light on how the Ravens did bad business and I’m assuming you don’t want negative vibes with your team
God forbid he tells his side of everything
