I was trying to watch on the internet on the first row website but it crashed 4 or 5 times and of course I missed the overtime. I misses a couple of passes and punts because they lay a commercial over the game. I am glad someone got to enjoy it.

He is the most awesome physical specimen to ever play his position. He looks more like a tight end than a QB.

Yesterday in Church our pastor talked about the faith of Tebow and Roethlisberger. He talked about Tebow as being the “man on a mission” and Big Ben as being a “man who was redeemed”. This comprised a large part of his message. Both of their performances were incredible yesterday and gave glory to God. This shows America where we must put our faith to get our nation out of its hole.

I wonder how many nation wide viewers were watching to see Tebow win (like me) no matter who the opposing team and how many were watching just to see him lose. I hated the Broncos in the past and always rooted for whoever they were playing (like I still do about the Cowboys...Americas team my ass). Now, because of Tebow, I'm a Bronco fan.
Rush said this morning that there were a lot of Bronco Staff members that detest him. I believe Elway is one of them. (from things he said in the recent past)

Only interception was thrown by Pittsburgh when it was third down, 16 yards to go.

It was a heck of a great game. And really the only one of the weekend to be exciting in the 4th quarter.

I love tweaking the Cowboys fans here with the fact that now Tebow has as many playoff wins as Tony Romo.

And because CBS did not want Tim to mention God they quickly switched to their dumb 60 Minutes before Tim could mention God.

—Perhaps not the most fortunate analogy...—
Yeah, I’m with you on that. I was in stereo sales when Jackson basically “brought pop back to life”. I remember reviewers saying they knew pop was in trouble when the grammy winning song was elevator music by Christopher Cross called “Sailing”, and how Jackson saved the whole industry from impending mundaneness.

I am a Cowboys fan and a Tebow fan, and I don’t feel tweaked by the comment. Romo and the Cowboys haven’t been good enough these past few years.
I do think we give QB’s too much credit and blame for the outcome of games involving 53 players and dozens of coaches, but I that is the nature of the position, and right now, Tebow has the same number of wins, and a better playoff winning % than Tony Romo. Fact.
To: Retired Greyhound
I’m another disillusioned Cowboys fan. Romo has tons of natural talent compared with Tebow, but he utilizes less than half. Tebow utilizes 99% of what he has. The difference between mediocrity and greatness is often desire. Tebow may never become a great quarterback because his talents may not develop sufficiently, but he’ll go down swinging. Romo, unfortunately, will fail to achieve greatness because he doesn’t have the will to put his natural talents to their full use. Romo needs to spend the offseason finding out what makes Tebow tick.
