The pilgrimage of Trevor Lawrence as Distinct from Tebow and his Eagle Forum Momma on Finebaum

   In about the 30th minute of the Finebaum show on the SEC network on the archive audio tape I chime in on May 17. They had been talking about Tim Tebow for almost all afternoon and I cut straight to the point informed by knowledge of Tebow's pastor Jerry Vines and his John Birch Society inflections and how that effected the direction of the Southern Baptist Convention into the Trump base.

    And this chat just three hours before the PBS American Experience two hour new documentary on the life and political implications of Billy Graham.

    Some devout ignorant fellow Jason from Florida called in the next hour and made clear he didnt know his hiney from a hole in the ground and Paul indulged him. After a few minutes my call was completely distorted

    Every indication is Tebow's Mother is hard core Eagle Forum foot soldier for single issue abortion politics with all the baggage that brings. And you bring the rascal Jerry Vines into the mix and you have problems.

    Trevor lawrence on the other hand has an intellectually curious brother in his ear as well as the legacy of Chadwick Bozeman through his Clemson friend Darrien Rencher.

   That's a whole different world. You weave in some other factors and there's a New Yorker story there in a few years.

Mac Brunson in this article is a Furman grad, just like me and Marshall Frady. But the article is clear there is no difference in the culture of FBC Jaxville and FBC Dallas Texas. And the Birch Society was stronger in the water at Jaxville when Vines was the pastor as Tebow was a young man and his values were being shaped.

Enter this URL. Substantiates the point I was trying to make to Finebaum and Jason from Florida.
