Jeez, I walk away for maybe 45 minutes to eat/watch Family Guy, and there's 370 new comments in this thread. You'd think Tim Tebow was a polarizing figure or something.

/'Grats long-time Broncos fans.
//Screw you, bandwagon Tebows fans.

Look. If your love (or hatred) for Tim Tebow is based completely on religious (or anti-religious) grounds, stop it. You're a douchebag and you should feel bad.

This means that the irrational Tebow fans who were saying things like "I don't care if we go 0 and 16, I just want Tebow to start because I like him and he shares my faith" are a part of the problem. The Tebow bashers who dislike the guy solely because he believes in something that they don't are part of the problem.

Personally, I've been a Denver fan since John Elway started with them back in the 1980s. I'm also an apathetic agnostic (meaning that I care so little about religion that I can't even be bothered to call myself an atheist). And damned if I don't really like Tim Tebow. He's certainly not perfect, but he makes these games exciting to watch. I admit that Tebow's often-excessive religiosity annoys me at times, but if it's a choice between the Jesus freak and players who hold guns to people's heads on their off-week, I'll take the Jesus freak every day of the week and twice on Sundays.

WhyteRaven74: SilentStrider: lighter build

Vick is listed at 6 feet and 215 lbs, Roethlisberger is listed as 6'5" 245 lbs. So while he is shorter and lighter, Vick would have the heavier build.


And Tebow is 6' 3", 236 LBs.

/James Harrison is 6' 0", 242 LBs
//Ray Lewis is 6' 1", 250
///Von Miller is 6' 3", 245

SilentStrider: svenge: Maybe having at least one defensive player further than 10 yards from the line of scrimmage would have helped on that play...

to be fair, they were trying to play aggressive instead of sitting back in a zone defense,and it bit them in the butt. I can't blame them for that.


To be fair the Broncos have run on 1st down always since mid season. The Steelers read it all night and stopped them at the line. it was killing me. I wanted them to put it in the air at least once on 1st during the game. Coach Fox is smarter than I am. He waited until he could ice the game with a 1st down TD pass. Well played sir, well played!

Vick isn't 200 pounds soaking wet. And Roethlisberger is well over 245 just as Tebow is well over 236.

Heh, that can't be right. I saw him in training camp 2 summers ago, and that dude can't be more than 5'10" and 190 lbs. He's not much bigger than me fer cryin out loud!

Tebow has said many times he'd rather be running around dishing out the hits rather than gets sacked from the blind side.

Did you see Brady get lit up against Denver 2 weeks ago? Tebow's never taken a hit like that.

I'd also bet Vick is less than his listed height and weight.

Interesting how the 1 game this weekend most experts thought would be the cakewalk turned out to be the only one competitive into the 4th quarter.

Was really hoping Tomlin would call for the record-breaking (*) FG attempt to win the game. The kickers seemed to enjoy aiming for the uprights on every kickoff; the blitz on the Hail Mary sure confused the shiat out of the Steelers.

That's got to be some record Tebow set as far as poor completion percentage versus high passer rating. He seemed to enjoy making Ike Taylor his biatch in quarters 2-4 & OT.

xcracer: Tom Brady, after living a full life, died. When he got to heaven, God was showing him around. They came to a modest little house with a faded Patriots flag in the window.

"This house is yours for eternity Tom, said God. "This is very special; not everyone gets a house up here."

Tom felt special, indeed, and walked up to his house. On his way up the porch, he noticed another house just around the corner. It was a huge 3-story mansion with Orange and Blue sidewalks and drive ways, a 50 foot tall flagpole with an enormous Broncos logo flag waving, a swimming pool in shape of a horse, a Broncos logo in every window, and a Tim Tebow jersey on the front door.

Tom looked at God and said "God, I'm not trying to be ungrateful, but I have a question. I was an all-pro QB, I won 3 Super Bowls, and I even went to the Hall of Fame."

God said "So what's your point Tom?" "Well, why does Tim Tebow get a better house than me?"

God chuckled, and said "Tom, that's not Tim's house, it's mine."


You got my funny vote.

LectertheChef: Shaggy_C: He's on the podium on NFL network now. His first words? "I want to thank first and foremost my lord and savior Jesus Christ".

lol...Love this guy. The fury he creates is unparalleled.

I can't stand people who pull that shiat. Even granting that there is a God, which I don't, it's incredibly arrogant for someone to think that their God gives a flying fark about a football game, movie, or whatever the hell it is they're thanking God for. It's almost as annoying as people who insist on thanking God for their food.


This! I mean, Tebow apparently forgot about a small passage in the Bible requiring Christians to go to their rooms, shut the door, and pray in silence. Hypocrite. I would love for a football player somewhere pray to FSM or Fred or whoever just to balance things out.

AdmirableSnackbar: Vick isn't 200 pounds soaking wet.

when I ran track I was about 5'8" and weight 170 lbs and had nowhere near the upper body build Vick does, and may not have had the lower body build either. So with a couple more inches in height, and a bigger upper body build, 200 lbs is no big deal really.

GoldSpider: and that dude can't be more than 5'10" and 190 lbs.

oh I wouldn't doubt his height, but his build is hardly slight

Also, did anyone else think it was impossible to gain weight during the course of an NFL season?
Ben might hit 3 bills by camp next year, assuming he hasn't already.


I thought I was imagining that - I'm glad someone else noticed. Dude is going to go all JaMarcus in the off-season if he isn't more careful.

FreakinB: Pssssssh. Like Mario Chalmers would play football. Do you know what would happen if Mario Chalmers played football? He'd play two ways. When on offense, the defense would retreat to the sideline out of respect. They know the futility of attempting to stop Mario Chalmers.

When he's on defense he'd rush the QB, get to a point where it's obvious he'll sack the QB, only to let him throw it so that he can intercept it 20 yards downfield and return it for a TD while giving each offensive lineman a new pair of pants since he knew that he made them shiat themselves in fear.

You couldn't trade 2 NFL teams for Mario Chalmers. That's 106 pennies on a farking Benjamin.


You're...you're right. I'm sorry for proposing such a ridiculous trade. The National Football League wants parity and Mario Chalmers would probably win fourteen or fifteen games if he was his own team. Roger Goodell would never allow it. The only thing you can hope for is that Mario Chalmers' dumbfounded teammates get in his way and accidentally trip him on sixty to eighty plays of the game. It's the only way opposing defenses would even have a chance of stopping him.

Personally, I don't give a rats ass what he or anyone else believes in. If he wants to thank his god on TV, cool. As long as he isn't pushing it on me, which he isn't.

I see it purely as the power of positive thinking. Some use religion to summon this, some don't. I'm a big fan of positive attitudes regardless of their source, so yea - go Tebow!

CrazyCurt: I predicted that the NFL will have Tebow win the SuperBowl, thus ushering in the "divine miracle of Jesus" that is needed to finally throw away this disturbing Constitutional Republic for the rightful and righteous New Christian America.

It's not so much that Tebow gives thanks to God for a touchdown that is bad,. It's the drooling hillbillies who see this spectacle and take it as a sign from God himself that America should be turned into one big theocratic nightmare.

Abortion should be banned.

The poor should be tortured.

Gays should be shot on sight.

All books except the Republican Jesus Bible should be burned.

All science and even the mere questioning of biblical authority is outlawed under pain of death.

THAT is what makes this so offensive and frightening.
