There’s no question Tebow’s a winner, and I think what he does is make all those players on the team play their best.” marveled Rush Limbaugh regarding Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow. “I don’t think it’s any more complicated than that. He a leader. He believes in himself, and so he makes it easier for people to believe in him and themselves.”

Limbaugh responded to a caller who suggested the Republican party could use some of the leadership qualities displayed by Tebow.

“They’re rare, but there are people like that; and Tebow is making a lot of people into believers in him, particularly his teammates. Now, you can’t bottle that kind of leadership. You can’t.”

Rush Limbaugh observed that “an entire gaggle of far-left sportswriters” are dropping their initial Tebow skepticism.

“Big names in the sportswriter community are now doing mea culpas.” he said with a chuckle.
