If you could give props to anyone...

[on3m@n@rmy]

Props, high-fives, ataaways, whatever you want to call it. Sporting or non-sporting. If you could pick anyone out and applaud them for what they have done or stand for who would it be?

I would start with this:

...because of this (quoting an article from the Washington Times):

Tim Tebow is unpredictable and improbable — symbolizing the triumph of will over skill. The values he embodies are an almost perfect counter to the nation’s sour and defeatist mood. He is relentlessly polite and optimistic, ferociously hardworking, and committed beyond all else to the idea of team over self.

Discuss.

Bob dylan, kenny dalglish, dennis bergkemp,roberto baggio, seba veron, david gilmour, springsteen, marco pantani, II falco... Lol

Tebow's a great pick.

I give props to one of my heroes:

 

[slowoldman]

For what he did off the bike mainly, let alone his escapades while on pedals..

 

[The Hitch]

Not a perfect character but has to be possibly the first name on any such list.

To be honest I feel a bit scared simply admiting I like him on the internet.

Every Italian ive met says they admire him. You too Zam?

Also essentially the same idea though he has already paid with his life for it - Giovanni Falcone. A greater hero than Saviano who spat at the deathreats he was given, admiting that he knew he was walking straight into the grave, and continued doing his job right up until the point that the last bullet stopped his heart.

The Colombian version of this was Rodrigo Lara Bonilla.

oh boy. Not quite what I had in mind for this thread, but I had to laugh anyway.

EDIT:
MJ Fox is up there for sure
Roberto Saviano's got some cojones for sure

I would like to thank my parents (and dearest friends), Susan and Martin for allowing me back on this forum. They are a limitless source of inspiration and motivation.

Thanks mom and dad.

We all know one of the problems with traditional chemotherapy is the emaciating side effects it can have on the body. So this prop is to Mark E. Davis, California Institute of Technology, for developing a new delivery system for cancer treatment medicines that greatly reduces the harmful effects to the body. This technology may soon be a real option for cancer patients.

The following video link explains how the treatment works compared to other forms of chemo.

This link explains where the developers of the system are at in relation to the FDA’s clinical trial process and what the different stages of development are in the FDA's process.

Tim Tebow is opposed to women's rights.
He is most definitely not worthy of "props."

Prolly cos he's for the rights of unborn children, something women's rights activists often ignore.

Oh, I see.
Those bundles of cells are clamouring for their rights over a fully grown sentient being.
They're channeling their collective voice through Tim Tebow.
Gotcha.

I saw that on CBS News. Pretty amazing story.

Smooth move, Alpe D'Huez.
Now back to regularly scheduled programming.
