I know. He’s just plain childish. I can almost see him sitting on the edge of his high-chair with his fingers resting on the keys of his Commodore 64 watching the game and counting down the seconds until he can write down that witty zinger that’s been hopping around in his head for weeks.

Quite frankly, yes, a lot of people assumed he wouldn't.

O, brother.

The thing which was hard to grasp yesterday was Baltimore losing to SD. Mediocre teams seem to play their all-time franchise best games against the Ravens.

Actually...I suspect he had already written it....

...no doubt many sportswriters were straining at the bit to publish ...Tebow lost...or Tebow failed...

They had written this ending weeks, months ago...they are in gleeful pigsty today!

If Tebow were a muslin, Ian would be praising his faith. What a POS!

Who ever wrote that knows nothing about God.

Really? I think this was some pretty tame stuff . . .

He is just a kid. In a few years we will have to watch him three times on Monday and Sunday night.

1- God doesn’t care who wins a football game.
2- God will never bail on Tebow (or anyone else who puts their faith in him).

I heard a snippet from a 60 Minutes’ interview where Brady talked about people looking at his 3 SBs (and money and wife no doubt) and thinking that he’s basically achieved all of what life has to offer. Brady said he didn’t look at it like that and instead asked himself, “Is this all there is?” Tebow is one of those who know the answer to that. Hopefully Brady (and countless others) find out. :)

That needed to be said on this thread.

Thank you!

Go Patriots!!! America’s Team! I was so PROUD of the Patriots and Tom Brady!!!! Three Superbowls and on their way to another.

(It's about time Brady upped his personal record vs. the Broncos to 2-6...1-6 was rather embarrassing)

God did not bail on Tebow. There was a ruckus at the Pearly Gate when Kim Jong Il showed up so he had to go escort Kim to to the rightful place he earned--Hell.

I say a prayer every morning as I go to work. Does that mean I’m going to have a better day than everyone else in my office, or have less of a chance that some idiot at 4:30 in the morning is going to run a red light and T-bone me? Nope. Having a one-on-one speaking relationship with God is not like carrying some sort of Divine Rabbits Foot. But yet we still pray and trust in Him. This is something the secular world will never understand.

I thank the Broncos for firing Mike Shanahan. The Redskins (Shanahan) almost beat the Pats last week.

I like Tebow, but I’m kind of glad this happened. People have built up the Tebow bandwagon to ridiculous levels, and it’s better that he’s brought down to Earth sooner than later. People were even comparing him to Tom Brady leading up to this game, and that needs to stop.
