Former Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow is facing serious questions after reports linked him to a Christian organization accused of pushing costly financial advice that left some participants with little or no return.
Tebow’s name surfaced in reporting from the Associated Press, The Athletic, the Denver Post and other outlets, after he appeared on “Pablo Torre Finds Out” amid scrutiny of Life Surge, the group he has been doing speaking engagements for. According to Matt Moret of The Athletic, Life Surge is accused of pressuring people into paying thousands of dollars for financial advice that did not deliver.
The courses reportedly came with a steep price tag, with The Athletic saying they cost upwards of $20,000. For those who could not afford that, the group allegedly encouraged them to borrow thousands from third-party lenders. Torre and Mother Jones both spoke with people who said they saw little or no benefit from what they paid for.
There were also claims of heavy pressure inside the program. One Life Surge staffer reportedly told participants that “the devil” was behind their doubts. Life Surge has denied the allegations.
Tebow said he is taking the matter seriously and is “pausing” his relationships with Life Surge while his team conducts its own investigation. He also said he was “caught off guard” by the allegations.
Mother Jones reported that Tebow spoke at 20 Life Surge events in 2024 and 2025, and that he is on pace to speak at another 20 this year.
The development comes after Tebow made a celebratory return to Denver for the Broncos’ home opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars, planting the alumni flag before Denver’s 20-13 win over the Jags.
The situation could also create complications for the Broncos, who are in negotiations with multiple community groups to help fund their Burnham Yards stadium project. It remains to be seen whether the backlash tied to Tebow and Life Surge will affect that effort.

Colorado Suddenly Faces A Linebacker Problem Deion Sanders Must Solve
Colorados linebacker room took a hit in Week 4 when Tyler Martinez went down with a lower-leg injury against Baylor, and Deion Sanders said the injury could end his season. The timing matters for a Buffaloes defense that has already had to adjust on the fly, with Gage Goldberg stepping into a larger role and leaning on the presence of veterans Liona Lefau and Gideon Lampron around him.
For Sanders, the immediate challenge is keeping that group steady if Martinez cannot return, while also trying to preserve some long-term value from a difficult setback. He said he hopes Martinez can secure eligibility for next season, leaving a lingering offseason question even as Colorado tries to sort out its present-day linebacker rotation. [Read more 🡒]
Colorado Faces A Brutal Test Amid A Growing QB Dilemma
Texas Techs trip to Boulder comes with plenty of confidence after Joey McGuires program has quietly become far more dangerous away from home, winning seven of its last eight road games. That includes a recent victory at Oregon State, and it gives the Red Raiders a solid backdrop as they head into a matchup with Colorado, a team that is still sorting through injuries and trying to steady itself under Deion Sanders.
Both sides are coming off the usual mix of wins, losses and coaching concerns, but the Buffaloes bigger issue is the uncertainty at quarterback and the ripple effect that can have on everything else. Sanders has already been asked about player availability and the need for improvement, and with Texas Tech showing it can travel well, Colorado does not have the luxury of time to let those questions linger much longer.

Colorado Heads Into Brutal Stretch With One Huge QB Question
With Colorado staring at a demanding run of games, the focus around the Buffaloes has shifted to the quarterback battle and how the offense will sort itself out. Wide receiver Joseph Williams has seen enough from both Julian Lewis and Isaac Wilson to believe the room is in good hands, pointing to the traits they share and the poise they bring to the huddle.
Williams also made clear the locker room is prepared to rally around whichever quarterback gets the nod. For a team headed into a tough stretch, that kind of buy-in matters just as much as the depth chart, and it gives Colorado a chance to keep building even as the competition at the game's most important position remains unresolved.
