The Story

UPDATE: 10-21-2011: According to ESPN, the NFL has done something dumb. After sustaining a "very mild" concussion, Troy did what most red-blooded Americans would do in that situation - he called his wife to let her know that he was OK. Problem was, he did it from his cell phone. From the bench. During the game. Admittedly, the NFL outlaws all phones from the sideline (and for good reason, think Patriots style "spygate" reasons) but seriously NFL? You couldn't let this one slip? We guess that Troy thinks it's $10,000 well spent.
Time Together: The two began dating while at USC together, after being introduced by Theodora's brother and Troy's teammate, Alex Holmes. Theodora moved to Pittsburgh with Troy in 2003 when he was drafted. They were engaged in 2004 and were married in January, 2005. The couple has two children together, with Troy announcing the birth of their youngest child, Ephraim, on his Twitter account.
Fun Facts: Theodora is the daughter of former University of Michigan football standout, Mike Holmes, and the brother of former NFL tight end, Alex Holmes.

i have always liked troy, but of course, being from jacksonville, fl. they were our natural enemies. but i just watched troy score a touchdown against the colts, and i now absolutely LOVE HIM! not because of the td, but because he just made the sign of the Cross on him while he was sitting on the bench not two minutes ago! i am a wannabe catholic, but not good enough because i have been married more than once, but i just found out he is a devoted catholic!!!! i think we may have another tim tebow on our hands! tim is not catholic, but is an extremely outspoken christian, and does not make apologies for his faith. let us thank our Lord for such devoted followers like tim and troy. tim is from jacksonville, and we really miss him! of course, my hubby likes these two guys because of the way they play! i adore them because of their outspoken faith, even if they were to never play another game again. i used to always say go tim tebow! now i will have to change my slogan to go tim and troy!! may The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit be with you both and your families always, which of course They will, but never forget what is important in this world. not money or fame, but what is coming. May His Love shine brightly in everything you two do, and may you and tim always be a shining example of what His love will do for your life, the peace and contentment that will always follow. may God bless you both. Amen.
love always in Christ, benita mehaffey

Benita, he's Eastern Orthodox nor Catholic. Watch the sign of the cross from right to left (his right to his left). Catholics go from left to right. But he is very devout, reads and cites the writings of the desert fathers, very deep.

You are both correct in saying he's a devout christian. Even if he is EO, he is still catholic. Catholic means universal. He is catholic of the Eatern Rite not catholic of the Roman Rite.

Tim Tebow is a fundie. They are at apposite ends of the Christian spectrum. There are over 140,000 different denominations of the Christian faith in America. Anyone ever stop to wonder why??
