Former Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow is facing serious fallout after reports tied him to a Christian organization accused of using predatory sales tactics.
Tebow was back in Denver for the Broncos’ home opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars, where he planted the alumni flag before Denver’s 20-13 win. But the celebration quickly gave way to a much uglier story after he appeared on “Pablo Torre Finds Out,” with the reporting also drawing from the Associated Press, The Athletic, the Denver Post and other outlets.
According to Matt Moret of The Athletic, the Life Surge Christian group Tebow has been speaking for is accused of pressuring people into paying thousands of dollars for financial advice that didn’t deliver. The course reportedly cost upwards of $20,000, and The Athletic reported that people who couldn’t afford it were urged to borrow thousands from third-party lenders. Torre and Mother Jones also spoke with several people who said they saw little or no return on what they paid.
The allegations don’t stop there. Other sources said attendees were pushed hard into making major financial decisions, and one Life Surge staffer reportedly told them that “the devil” was behind their doubts. Life Surge has denied the accusations.
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 track to speak at another 20 this year.
The situation also lands awkwardly for the Broncos, who are in negotiations with multiple community groups to help fund their Burnham Yards stadium project. It’s unclear whether the backlash around Tebow and Life Surge will have any impact on that effort.

Josh Dobbs Had Another Sideline Moment Tennessee Fans Will Appreciate
Joshua Dobbs has spent his 10th NFL season doing the sort of little things that tend to endear him to any locker room, and Tennessee fans know the routine by now. The former Volunteers quarterback, now in his first year of a second stint with the Lions, has not appeared in a regular-season game yet, but he did draw attention during a viral sideline moment when he handled a coachs headset by simply moving the microphone to the other side instead of replacing it.
It was a small gesture, but the kind that fits the broader story of Dobbs, who has long been valued for his presence as much as his arm. He turned in a strong preseason for Detroit and remains a veteran backup at age 31, but moments like this are why he still seems to resonate in Knoxville, where efficiency, awareness and a team-first approach have always played well.

Tennessee Fans May Want To Notice This Famous-Name QB
The attention around quarterback recruiting in Tennessee already comes with plenty of noise, but Bo Bryan gave people plenty to notice Friday night. The Battle Ground Academy starter and son of country music star Luke Bryan put together a huge showing against Franklin Road Academy, completing 24 of 33 passes for 404 yards and six touchdowns in a win that should only add to his growing profile.
Bryan is already carrying multiple college offers and is ranked as a three-star prospect in the Class of 2027, so performances like this can only help him keep climbing the radar. Luke Bryan was on hand and expressed pride in his son's effort, a reminder that this is becoming one of those names Tennessee fans may want to keep in the back of their minds as the recruiting picture continues to take shape.

New Lady Vol Rylie Theuerkauf Already Sounds Built For Tennessee
Official practice for the 2026-27 season has only just begun, but Rylie Theuerkauf is already speaking like a player who knows exactly why she came to Tennessee. The senior guard arrived after stops at Wake Forest and Georgia, and her move brought her back alongside assistant coach Isoken Uzamere and teammate Zhen Craft, two familiar connections in a new setting. There is always an adjustment period with a transfer, especially one who has already lived in more than one program, but Theuerkauf sounded comfortable describing the transition and the work that went into getting settled with the Lady Vols.
What stands out most is how quickly she has bought into the bigger picture around Kim Caldwells team. Theuerkauf talked about chemistry, the gains made over the summer, and the trust she has in Caldwell as Tennessee starts to put its pieces together. For a program that expects newcomers to fit into a demanding standard fast, that matters, and it suggests Theuerkauf may be more than just another veteran guard in the rotation. She already sounds like someone who understands the assignment, even if the real proof will come once the games begin. [Read more 🡒]
