I choose 5 minutes (and I’m willing to take a chance on 30 seconds).

I took some time this afternoon to watch the Denver game. A few observations:

Tebow appears to be physically awkward. What is that funny twitchy-step thing he does in the pocket? He does not run with any sort of anticipation or grace; he kind of throws himself forward and hopes for the best. I did not see him throw one nice spiral, complete or incomplete. Based on only one game, Denver simply does not seem to have any break-out offensive potential. They managed to suck the life out of every possession, score or not.

In the end, Denver wins because of Denver’s defense. They went into the half without scoring a point; they won in OT on a forced turnover. He’s a place keeper and if Denver commits they better hope he he’s got some potential for growth as an athlete.

Oy, indeed!

I get the feeling this latest “miracle” may have scared the fundies a wee bit, like maybe something crazier than they was let out of the bottle.

I had a comment all written and ready to go about how thinking God cares one way or t’other about team sports is an awfully reductionist and trivial view of deities. But then all the Spirits of Gods Past came to me and reminded me that gods are indeed rather trivial-minded beings, with high-school levels of mental and emotional maturity; and so a God who cares enough about football to help out a quarterback now and then is not exhibiting anomalous divine behavior.

Tebow has clearly and consistently made a silk purse out of his cow’s ear talents. Maybe the Ultimate Sports Fan does hear his entreaties. I’d honestly prefer that to a God who pays attention to politics, y’know?

BTW: TBogg, can you update us on yesterday’s vet visit? How is Wembley?

Juicebox was able to mindfuck Marion Barber into rolling over and giving away the team’s precious jewels. NFL players are superstitious as hell, and you know they are susceptible to the Juicebox juju.

Let’s all leave this kid alone. He’s done well. He may be a right wing religious sorta guy, but TBogg sounds like Limbaugh ripping into Donovan McNabb. Eventually, Limbaugh was right, and maybe TBogg will eventually be right.

But seriously, this is some string of come from behind or late victories. And give the kid credit for inspiring the team.

In the way he runs and maneuvers, Tebow reminds me of an early, raw Fran Tarkington, who had his detractors then and now.

@7

Let’s all leave this kid alone.

Oh for fucks sake!

He’s not a kid.

He’s done well

Yes, yes he has. He’s being paid $7,000,000+ this year for being a fuckin’ shitty QB….

Haven’t seen Tebow play — who can watch Broncos games where I live, or chooses to do so if they can? But I watched Brady today. Come on, folks. There is a quarterback. From what I read/hear/see: the Broncos might really be something if they had a real QB. That should be the story here. It will be interesting to see the Patriots’ relatively weak defensive against Tebow.

Laugh while you can. He’s a kid because he’s 24 years old, three years below the average starting quarterback’s age in the NFL.

And what you want to ignore is this: Since he’s become the quarterback, the Broncos are 7-1.

As I say, you guys sound like Limbaugh ripping into McNabb several years ago when McNabb was initially doing well.

@ 6,,

Just to be clear … the drug saturated gas bags point was that McNabb was getting praise from sportscasters not for his talent but because he’s .. you know … a darky. If you really think Rush was right you’re evidently an ass licking twatwaffle…and should probably start your licking on Fat Boy himself.

And what you want to ignore is this: Since he’s become the quarterback, the Broncos are 7-1.

2010 Denver’s last three games with JuiceBox Jesus as starter: 1 win, 2 losses.

Seems like you conveniently forgot that craptastic debut.

Make shit up much Rush, mitchell?

The fanboys can be annoying, but Timmy’s not the first Hot New Thing to get big sloppy ass-kisses from the sports media complex, and he won’t be the last. They’ve got 24 hours a day to fill up-why not talk about the team that’s gone 7-1 in its last 8? It would be the same if he was an outspoken atheist (OK, even I can’t type that with a straight face.)

I’m half-rooting for the Broncs because it’s a cool story, for all the footbally, non-culture-warry reasons. As for Tebowmania itself, “amused” is probably an accurate descriptor for me, as opposed to some folks here who just seem to be having a nervous breakdown over it.

I disagree. Limbaugh ripped McNabb because he thought he was an affirmative action QB, even though McNabb had very good skills. Limbaugh just wasn’t taking to seeing a black man behind center.

Tebow, on the other hand, has awful mechanics and can rarely make a simple 8-yard throw, and only connects on the deep throw when he runs around like an idiot in the backfield causing either the safety or the corner to drop off leaving the receiver all alone at which time the receiver has to wait an eternity for one of Tebow’s rainbows to return to earth. That will only get you by for so long.

In response to gunsbeforebutter at 11:

He became the official starter this year after another guy went 1-4. Comparing me to Rush is beyond silly, even here at the otherwise respected and mostly funny TBogg land.

TBogg, let’s see how long this all lasts. Right now, it’s quite a streak of last minute wins. And that is what’s rather exciting about it all. As I say, though, let’s leave this young man alone. He’s not James Keefe. He’s not Andrew Breitbart. He’s not Rick Perry or Michelle Bachmann. Heck, he’s not Gingrich. There are enough demons to make fun of and slay out there without snarking on Tebow.

You’re all wrong, because freedom.

It will be an interesting game and a real test for Tebow. The Pats O should be penciled in for 25-35 points because that’s what the program calls for. Brady is nothing if not consistent and he’s got the O-Line and receivers to get the job done. So it will be up to Tebow to match or exceed these numbers to beat the Pats. The secondary for the Pats has sucked all year…but will Tebow be able to exploit it? Stay tuned.

One things for certain, if he’s down 32-0 with 5 minutes to go in the 4th and manages to pull out a 35-32 win….I am seriously going to sell all of my worldly possessions, move to Denver, and become a disciple of Tim.

It almost as if you didn’t read the post that started this comment thread.

Yeah, but:

For all the talk of the Denver defense being the key (and as a big-time defense enthusiast (defense wins championships), I am strongly inclined to agree), I can’t help but observe that Denver’s offensive line has outplayed a lot of defensive lines, at Krunch-time. Indeed, Chicago has a very good defense, better than the Broncos, fer shure, and, in the final analysis (classified) they couldn’t get the job done.

The truth even for us die-hard aethiests-but-Denver-fans is that New England’s defense really sucks, and it would not be surprising to see Denver score the points necessary to overcome whatever Denver’s defense holds Brady to.

He became the official starter….

He was the official starter of Denver’s last 3 games of 2010. That’s how it went down. You can not exclude facts for your own purposes.

As I say, though, let’s leave this young man alone. He’s not James Keefe. He’s not Andrew Breitbart. He’s not Rick Perry or Michelle Bachmann. Heck, he’s not Gingrich. There are enough demons to make fun of and slay out there without snarking on Tebow.

No fucking shit! He’s JuiceBox Jesus, The Anointed One. He’s not a politician. He’s a fuckin’ religious fanatic trumpeting sky fairy jeebuz. If you want to wax his dolphin I’m cool with that….

But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. ~ Jesus, Matthew 6:6.

Enough said. Tebow is a hypocrite. And, as a long time New England fan…Go Pats!

Tim belongs to the Xianist Cult of Wear Jeebus On Your Sleeve and Make A Mockery of Christianity. If the Cult wants to proclaim that Timmy is winning by the Grace of Jesus, then what will they have to say when that inevitable loss happens?

What if Tebow is sacked and the result is devastating? Where does the Jesus Wins Games culture go to find their redemption? If the answer is that Jesus doesn’t really care about wins and losses, then why all the ‘In Your Face’ about the current win streak?

It seems to me that the Cult of Right Winger Xianists (not to be confused with Christians) is more possessed of an antagonistic spirit than what Jesus preached.

It’s not enough to wear a label, pray in public, or even work a miracle or two.

Matthew 7 22:23
Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’

It just pisses me off to hear someone as respected as Bob Costas utter the words, “Tim Tebow, whose faith cannot be questioned, and should be respected…”. Grrrrrrr… I’ll question and/or disrespect anything I want to. The next time this ham-chunking side of beef kneels down to talk to Jeebus, he should ask him for better throwing mechanics.

As resident Bronco maniac/athesit, may I?

1) I don’t mean to kiss ass here but seriously, what T said in the original post. I think if T and Tebow met, they’d both walk away smiling with T saying, “Nice kid.” I also don’t think T’s opinion would change that Tebow and the Broncos are winning for the following reasons:

a) Luck
b) Insane defense
c) Dumb Luck
d) Pure Luck
e) Tebow’s “ability” to scramble and pass and
f) Sheer Luck

2) In spite of what TBogg posted, there are people who are hatin’ pretty hard on Tebow, like gunsbeforebutter but I say fuck it for two reasons; I like gunsbeforebutter and if Tebow is going to proselytize he’s going to have to take the heat for doing so. I actually think he’s going to tone it down as he gets better and becomes the long-term starter.

3) About that last sentence I just wrote–yes, I think he’ll get better with an off-season and I think Elway is going to work with him on his footwork. And I don’t think it’s going to work.

4) About that last sentence I just wrote–he’s not going to suddenly become a pocket passer. That just don’t happen, people. And a team has to have a guy behind center who can pass out of the pocket. Vick can sort of do that. Tebow can’t do that at all.

When this whole thing started, I said Denver wouldn’t win another game with Tebow behind center. That was after Miami, before Detroit. To say I’m happy to be wrong would be an understatement. Well, here’s another prediction for you:

New England wins 37-7 unless the Pats play a cover2 and allow Tebow to run for 100 yards or so. That would be dumb and Belichek, while evil, is not a dumb man.

I didn’t post yesterday because I didn’t feel up to it for reasons that I won’t bring up here. There are a couple of things that I would say, after reading the introduction. One is that the excuse that the reason for the attacks is the sports pundits. If that were true, you would be calling them out by name at greater length than is done on this site. That is simply misdirection. The second is the amount of ad hominem attacks here. FDL is not supposed to be a place where name calling is so rampant. Those of us who are not tied to Tim Tebow through religion are called fools when we say that mechanics is not the key to winning, but winning is the key, and he wins. Kyle Orton, who is probably a nice guy, has better mechanics and “gave the Broncos a better chance to win” than Tebow. What were the results?

lol. the truly erect fanboys are those of you who clearly pleasure yourselves to replays of that dreamy tom brady and peyton manning with their oh so tight spirals and manly pocket presence that just gets the juices flowing like you like it so good!

i feel for you though. i can relate to how an ugly like tebow must take all the wind from your sails with his unsexy throwing motion and gross footwork. he’ll never be a prima ballerina like brady and peyton so why doesn’t he just play tight end like all the other ugly girls players. it’s so unfair and that bitch is going to get hers his next week and we’ll all laugh at how much she sucks and can’t get a date to the playoffs.

what a fat bitch! why won’t she request a trade or die or something?

sucks to be you guys. but there’s a valuable life lesson here: it’s not always the prettiest girl who ends up being the best date to the prom. it’s all about scoring, no?

FDL is not supposed to be a place where name calling is so rampant.

/spits up tea
/chokes on muffin
/dies on keyboard

I mean, have you even read FDL? Ad Hominem is their fucking motto. You say you voted for Obama and you better believe your dog will be called fascist.

How sweet — an afterglow thread.

I live in Jacksonville and I’m getting sick of all the second guessing about not drafting Tebow to the Jags. But if he wins against New England, I’m going to have to become a believer.

Oh and I guess it didn’t help when I started typing “tebow” instead of “tbogg” into the address line.

Too funny – from today’s LATimes’ editorial about Perry’s ‘religious’ demogoguery, this note:
“James A Andrews at 6:07 AM December 12, 2011

Why must we embrace diversity until it comes to Christianity? Why must we accept Ground Zero Mosques’, Gay Marriage, Occupy Protesters, but, tear down even a Tim Tebow just for thanking God for his gifts? “

Bear, ur in TBogg’s house. Lighten up or the bassets will drool all over you.

Oh, I think God is involved, all right. I think he’s using Tebow to pay John Fox back for being hung out to dry by Jerry Richardson (Panthers’ owner) for a year before being fired. That’s all.

Relatedly, Bob Costas, as a matter of fact I CAN question Tebow’s faith. I just choose not to care about it all that much.

He’s so going on Dancing With The Stars during the off-season, isn’t he?

No argument here that Tebow does not have NFL-quarterback skills in abundance. But I saw some of his post-game interview last night, and the one guy who doesn’t seem to be a dick about this is Tebow himself.

He’s a good running back.

Brian Urlacher.

It makes sense that the christian god would anwser football prayers before the poor and sick.

Since you’re quoting.

Matthew 7:1 “Do not judge, or you too will be judged.”

Here in Packerland, we not only have St. Aaron of Rodgers, but for a mere $250 plus shipping and handling, we can own a piece of him and Donald Driver, Clay Matthews, Jermichael Finley, Charles Woodson, Mike McCarthy, Lambeau Field, and the walls that provide the fabulous Lambeau Leap.

I pity the fool who roots for another team.

I live in denver and am a Bronco fan. Tim Tebow isn’t God’s git to all creation, but if he’s a loser, where can I get more? 6/7 and from last to first in division (yes, the AFC West – so it’s like being king of the dungheap.) Then he takes a knee and thanks everyone else on the team after Jesus? Contrast that to Mr. Brady, who throws a s***fit in front of all creation (and the TV cameras) over a bad call by the offensive co-ordinator? He’s a great QB sure, but I’d prefer Tebow.

One quick aside on yesterday’s game: if there was a hero, it was Prater. Dude made an insane 59 yd FG to go into overtime, then anther 50+ to win the game. Tebow was struggling, Prater really came through (arguably, so did Marion Barber – poor freakin’ guy.)

Maybe Tebow raised Prater up a bit and inspired him to perform, maybe not. But watching this same team under Griese, Cutler, Orton, and goodness who else I’m forgetting – they are playing at a different level now. Everyone, not jut Tebow, is really just playing a better game and closing out strong. That has been an achilles heel for Denver, 3 QTRs of great ball, then a Chicago Cubs-esqe implosion in the 4th. It’s been that way since Elway left and it sucks donkeys. Tebow reversed that trend, now you can discount the first 3 QTRs and wait for the insane comeback at the end. Not a great way to plan a team, but 6/7 tells the tale. Imagine if they actually start to learn how to play stronger ball earlier but know they have this ability in reserve? That’s a team I’d love to cheer.

It’s football people. A stupid freakin’ game at the end of the week. Denver is happy with Tebow, we like him above and beyond his Jesus speak or youth or even the 6/7. So screw off, he’s our QB. Go dump on your own, we’re thrilled with him ;)

I don’t follow the Broncos. I thought the quarterback hands off and throws passes. What am I missing????

Ffrom what I am reading Denver must have a wide receiver named “Jesus”.

Amen.

Denver had a savior in yesterday’s ” miracle “. He’s called Marion Barber.

And I also about puked over Costas saying we had to accept little Timmy’s ” faith “.

Sounds like my Mom, bless her heart. Telling me I’ve got to believe in something. Yeah, Mom, I believe in science.

Tebow and the Broncos will win the AFC West. And then will be put in their place by either NE or the Stillers in the playoffs.

In the immortal words of George Carlin, just once I’d like to see an athlete blame God for his fumble that lost the game.

You’re thinking of the San Francisco Giants of yesteryear. They had Jesus, Felipe, and Matty Alou.

Absofucking-lutely. But Timmy can’t help it, he’s from FL. The whole state is busting at the seams with home-schooling religious fuck-tard fundies who praise thanks to Jesus everytime they have a sucessful shit in the morning. Good thing half the population of the state wasn’t raised there or it wouldn’t be worth going to the beaches.

That would be Don Chuy, verdad?

YES!! The road to the Superbowl goes through Lambeau Field.

His go to wide receiver the last two games has been DeMarious Thomas. He was born on December 25th, make of it what you will!!!

The reason Tebow’s being fellated by the press and (some) fans is pretty simple: nobody can believe he’s winning. In a way, it really is a miracle, because as many here have already pointed out, he doesn’t have NFL talent.

Even if there were no religious angle, people would still be creaming over him, because he’s white and talentless, and in American sports that means everybody has to root for him.

If this kid is such a good Christian, how come he’s not out killing swarthy heathens in the desert to prove our sky daddy can beat their sky daddy any day of the week?

Damn! All this talk about a dude playing a game that gawd loves. How about something more relevant. Like Basset boners. Or the air speed velocity of an unladen swallow….

Because god is a make-believe non-existent supernatural being that is called on to justify any attempt to give its adherants more power. Ultimately this power will corrupt and divide this country to just another two bit third world shell at war with itself. god is just another way to eliminate education, force science into remission, make people stupid. And it’s working.

You mean like Pat Tillman who passed up his own fat NFL contract to serve his country?

I guess that 7mil+ is just toooooo goddam sweet to pass up.

Everybody is missing the point. This controversy exists because the networks, the 1%er networks have chosen to put make-believe non-existent supernatural being into their business plan, in an effort to compete with the lies of fux news. I question why they do it, I doubt the decision makers are that much into a right wing god, as I have been led to believe that high network muckymucks tend to be Jews (please don’t take that wrong, I haven’t researched it, and I don’t intend harm in saying it). If so I think they must be revolted as much as I am at the insult of them promoting the slack-jawed ceiling pointing fools. But business is business. Or, more probably, the right wing jesus godders are using their aggregated power to blackmail the networks into their insulting shit. Either way I’ve decided to spend my time more productively than sitting being insulted by stupidity, presently reading chapters about the Russian revolution in Follett’s new book. Might come in handy.

I doubt tebow has ever heard of the American hero Tillman. And doesn’t care.

Thanks, scrambler. Makes sense to me NOW.

WOW!!!! Tough room. Just sayin’

REALLY tough room.

I don’t knooooooooooowwwwww…………

My Tebow hating also boils down to the media and it’s absurd quest in finding and exploiting a never-ending-ratings-bonanza story that they can latch onto like a lamprey does a trout. The trout, in this case, being one of the magically multiplied Jesus-fishes* which we will from henceforth refer to as the North American Tebow Trout.

Blasphemers! Apostates! Idolators! All of you are WRONG WRONG WRONG!1!1!!1!!!

There is only ONE true savior. And unlike the false god the Broncos fans worship, He knows how to throw a football. Also.

It’s a Monty Python thread!

Don’t give me that you snotty-faced heap of parrot droppings….Your type makes me puke! You vacuous toffee-nosed malodorous pervert!

IMHO, the comments here sound a lot more like Dan and Jane on Saturday Night Live.

Not complaining, though, just munching popcorn.

Loved yer comment the snark is strong within your loins (gender neutral).

it’s all about scoring, no?

Well, sure At Prom Date Age(s) everyone wants to get laid, that’s a DOH!

Of course it’s all about scoring! That n Shakira’s Ass. *

Corporate, fascist, geez, get it right ya whiner.

I continue to expel sounds and stuff from all orifices when I read about them mean FDL socialist haters pounding all over the mild mannered and meek centrists . . . . whiners. Truth is in, deal with it.

Obama is a product and tool of the corporate fascists who own and operate every facet of our government, military, economy and daily lives.

N we have some 40 million or more unemployed and underemployed because of them crooks . . . we have more without health care who are dying daily than ever before, we have millions of newly homeless because of them crooks and now we have indefinite detention for all of us in AmeriKa because of them crooks.

N soon we’ll have many of us all disappearing for commenting on the internet, regardless of WHOM we criticize, cuz we’re all terrorists ya know, on the internet.

Whiners.

May the drool drown ya . . .

A couple of years ago I was debating (not for the first time) a local minimum-wage ordinance with a local businessman whom I had begun internally to demonize, while being publicly polite. He made his pitch, sat down next to me, and while I was being introduced muttered so only I could hear, “Jane, you ignorant slut.” Damn near ruined my presentation, giggling not being on the agenda, but I gotta say I liked him a lot better after that.

THey’re lookin good, aren’t they . . . *G*

Matty had one of the sweetest swings in all of baseball.

Yeah, but SPOT ON for the most part, even the haters (they come in the diversity rainbow package now it seems).

*G*

You can’t BUY this level of snark and trash talk at most places.

TBogg runs a good game, regardless of the street corner cop who keeps bustin up his game . . . ;-)

Two great catches, regardless of WHO tossed them out to yas . . . I’m gonna smile all day at those. *G*

Actually a lot of folks here did indeed vote for Obama, probably more than didn’t (though the ones who didn’t tend to post far more). Very few of them will Tebow to him, I grant you. ;-)

And verbal abuse is the room down from that one. (Or is that where they’re keeping Spiny Norman nowadays?)

By the way — harkening back to an earlier thread of T’s wherein he talked about Scott Walker’s plan to charge folks $ for protesting — betcha he won’t charge these people.

All this sports talk, it’s not inside baseball is it?

Would love that there be a parallel experiment wherein a devout Muslim (or openly athiest, gay, antiwar, whatever) quarterback does similar 3/4 craptacular, 1/4 spectacular comeback wins (assuming NFL Jesus would allow such a thing). Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf didn’t deliver a title to the Nuggets but was pretty damn good, and was vilified for his personal attempt to honor his religion by not standing during nat’l anthem.

From our daily fishwrap, the Denver Post today: “”Tebow came to me and said, ‘Don’t worry about a thing,’ because God has spoken to him,” linebacker Wesley Woodyard told me in a quiet corner of the Denver locker room.” And of course, that’s when Barber fumbled thanks to Woodyard believing in the power of the T-man. The Bears did everything they could to allow St. Tim to win and still not look like they were throwing the game.

Repent now, ye of the NFL heathen.

Read The Denver Post’s Terms of Use of its content: http://www.denverpost.com/termsofuse

Lets take that a step further. Have an all-star type game between the NFL Muslims and the NFL Christians. I think there are enough avowed believers in the league to field a squad for both teams.

No one has every gone broke marketing religion, including the NFL. Can you imagine the audience, world-wide, for such an epic game? Maybe Jesus Christ and Mohammed would descend from Heaven to give their respective teams a pep talk during halftime.

Yeah, that didn’t work out very well. I can imagine all kinds of scenarios where some player of some kind of persuasion on some kind of team in certain places or countries wouldn’t be lionized or would be more easily vilified. Ironically, St. Tim may even be good for your cause–despite his invocations and entreaties of and to the spirit in the clouds, he does mean it when he talks about team. I would rather root for a sincerely devout team-first Christian than a what’s innit for me whack job, me-first-screw-you prima donna, even if it meant we don’t win all our games. And the only kind of faith I profess is humanistic. For me, it’s about winning the game AND being a class act while you dismember your opponents limb from limb.

Great idea. Replace the Pro Bowl with the Crusade Bowl and have Snow White and the 7 (republican) Dwarfs as cheerleaders for the christians.

Dan Patrick asks Devin Hester of The Bears about Juicebox Jesus. “Do you think he’s a good quarterback?” @1:15 of linky

I haven’t watched a Pro-Bowl game in decades. But a Crusade Bowl is a whole nother level of football. I would make one major change in the rules to accommodate the game, though.

No personal fouls. How could there be?

Bad news, Tebowsters. God plays defense. Tebow isn’t hearing God’s word, he’s overhearing it from the defensive huddle.

But hee stood in the midst of the ground, and defended it, and slewe the Philistines: and the Lord wrought a great victorie.

2 Samuel 23:12

In other words, the Bears will be several spots ahead of the Broncos in the 2012 college QB draft. They probably won’t get Luck unless they trade for him, but they’ll have shots at any number of fine choices — especially as I don’t trust the Vikings front office to make a decent pick. Zygi’s crew could screw up a wet dream.

Look, all I said to TBogg is leave the kid alone. TBogg said in a kindly way that maybe I did not read his piece correctly or perhaps at all. I did. I noted TBogg at the end of his latest piece is trying to walk some of the way back. It’s still snarky though and it was preceded by some pretty harsh stuff about a young quarterback in the NFL, as opposed to someone who ran the World Bank, the USA or some large corporation. I was saying save the snark for someone more important.

But TBogg and the real haters on this thread need not fret too much. This week, there is a sense New England is going to stomp on the Broncos and Tebow won’t be able to come back since Brady will put up more than 20 points by the third quarter. At least, that’s how it looks on a Monday before the game. It doesn’t mean Tebow will suddenly become a loser, it just means his team’s D will not keep him in the game every week against every team.

But then again, if Tebow rallies again in the 4th quarter, this will be even more amazing than George Blanda’s exploits in the early 1970s as a 40 something guy kicking field goals and extra points while throwing for touchdowns as the back up quarterback who had come off the bench to replace an injured starting quarterback.

Look, all I said to TBogg is leave the kid alone.

No, actually you said:

TBogg sounds like Limbaugh ripping into Donovan McNabb

Oh, and see @10.

My man, speaking of walking things back… that TBogg/Limbaugh comparison? Might want to take a giant step backward.

UPDATE: And as usual, guns beat me to it. And as usual, PhoenixWoman is funnier than I’ll ever be. “Tebowing Obama” is win.

Honestly, I should just read this blog and smile.

Honestly, I should just read this blog and smile.

And keep commenting too, because you’ve help make it a rollicking good ride through TebowMcMania!

You Bronco fans are hilarious! Not into sports much myself, and at this point I’ve seen so much cheap-ass piety in so many places as to be mostly inured to it. But I’ve been looking forward to football Sundays as much for your presence in the comments as for Basset Dude’s OPs. I don’t read the ass-kissing genuflecting sportswriters, and as for Tebow, I wish the young man well, and hope he doesn’t become an asshole like Heath Shuler (or worse, a Ben Shapiro with muscles).

And sbruin, that card you found on ebay IS awesome!

The ‘real’ haters? tebow is the same ilk as the asshats who destroyed an honest effort by Lowes to tell the story of Muslim Americans in their daily lives. You know, with Muslims killing us all and Sharia law and all that stupid republican divisive crap. The god he’s pointing to the ceiling to is the very same god. Give us a fucking break, keep that ignorant shit our of our sports programs.

Look, all I said to TBogg is leave the kid alone.

Let’s try a comparison.

Ndamukong Suh, DT, Detroit Lions, 2010 Pepsi Rookie of the Year. Born on Jan 6, 1987.

Tim Tebow. Born on Aug 14, 1987.

I really haven’t heard much talk about Suh being a kid, as in “give the kid a break”.

Of course, he is half a year older…..
