Tim Tebow seems like a nice guy but if he wins tonight my animals will hide… I just can’t stand the media hype and I want it to stop.

The 17 point lead just means the 49ers will only lose by 2 touchdowns when all is said and done.

Anyone see Bradshaw gushing over Tebow on the pregame show? Going on about, “It would be so great for this country if Tebow wins tonight. Young people today so badly need heroes that they can look up to.”

Hard to remember one (’cause of the Jesus media-hook), and the jury is still out on his mediocrity as an NFL QB. I don’t think he’ll be a good one, but Aikman was something like 1-13 his first year, Bradshaw about the same, it takes time to bake an NFL QB.

I can’t believe I’m typing this, but GO PATS!
I want NFL Jeebus to be crushed into a million tiny pieces. I want him intercepted three dozen times. I want him sacked at least a hundred times, with major injuries ending his career forever.
And it will just be a bonus that the Pats will forevermore be the agents of Satan who will bask in the bitter tears of all the stupid Jeebus worshippers who think a dimwitted hillbilly who wears scripture on his face will somehow bring on the Rapture.
John O
@Raven:
Not a Gator fan either, but those days are over now…
…my predicition for tonight is that Tebow’s youth and inexperience and inability to throw the football will be exposed, and the Pats will cover the enormous spread. I’m with you though: the boy’s a gamer.

@JPL:
My gay friend I’ve known from high school is 100% sure Tebow’s gay, not that there’s anything wrong with that. My friend’s gaydar is unerring. When I watch football with him we compare notes about attractiveness, and one of his wicked crushes are the Harbaughs (not gay) – they’re interchangeable to him, so he’s in a win win situation with the playoffs. Jim Harbaugh kinda does it for me too.

I do like the way the game is going..Maybe if Brady kneels at the end of the game the Tebow era will be over..
Who do you think Timmy dreams about at night, Tommy or Gisele?

Looks like Jesus is not a fan of NFL Jeebus. I, for the first time in my life, am thankful for Tom Brady and the Pats. Hell, I’m even thankful for that evil fuck, Belichek. Oh, if only my Steelers had been healthy and could have put a stake in the heart of Tebowmania like this. But I’ll take it however I can get it.
Gee, maybe Tebow is Jeebus. After all, he has Steeler fans and Pats fans lying down together in harmony, much like the lion and the lamb. Heh.

@Heliopause: It would be funny if Belichick, was to pull out some Satanic diagrams to piss off the fundies, or better yet yell ALLAH AKBAR!! ALLAH AKBAR!!! at the end of the game

I like to imagine him coming out in a press conference and having ESPN’s announcers’ heads literally explode, like in Dave Chappelle’s Black White Supremacist episode.

@geg6: Indeed. Don’t change your evil ways now Darth hoodie, run up the score, mess up the field, steal some plays, but make sure the stake is in deep.

For now though, I’m rolling with this unholy and awkward Steelers/Pats revenge alliance!

I would give a not insubstantial body part to see Brady do a Tebow when he takes a knee at the end of the game.
FlipYrWhig
Ok, pats, let’s go for 70.

At the beginning of the half, if Tebow throws six straight incompletions, he’ll be … 3 for 16.

@Cat Lady: I like to imagine him coming out in a Larry Craig kind of way. THAT would make me laugh.
@Raven: Pretty much,.

@Elmo: Me also, too but the announcers would say it was mocking religious conservatives and in bad taste cuz only assholes can truly do the Tebow.

Yes, still bitter bout last week and the most ignorant football fans at a bar ever. Rooting for Tebow and literally couldn’t count, called every GD play wrong.

@DH: They’ll just blame the defense for not stopping Brady. Tebow can do no wrong, even when he’s playing like a Raving Rabbid.
Mr Stagger Lee
And the Lord saweth that His Children were Worshiping the Baby Jebus and not him, The Lord Waxed Hot and sent the Angel of Distruction to Foxboro. And thus the humbling of 15 and all of his host began. Thus sayeth Belichick “Hie thee to Brady many points, use thy great Tight End GRONK, to issue woe to those from the wasted heartland”

Tebow has 28 yds..if you subtract 2 from 8 what do you get..just sayin

@T.R. Donoghue:
Denver weather is not what you seem to think it is. The first time I ever went to Denver it was in the fifties in late December. Then, I lived in Boulder (26 miles NW of Denver) for about 20 years and my favorite time of the year to rock climb was in January-February when we were virtually always guaranteed to have some weather in the mid-fifties to high sixties. Yes, there is some cold weather, but it rarely stays for long and all winter long the cold is offset by lots of mild, sunny days.

This massacre is only going to make things worse (for next year)–they’ll all be talking about Tebow’s time of tribulation and humilty, etc. They’ll be talking about his character.

Mr Stagger Lee
Well if there is a bright side. John Elway will now green-light his efforts to get a REAL quarterback. Perhaps the back-up QB from Green Bay Matt Flynn. I’m sure he is on it while we speak.

Almost the 4th quarter – then it’s Tebow Time.

Simms is having to explain NewPerryTorum’s collapse.
I’ll just stop this GOP Primary analogy that’s dancing in my brain now. But there’s some good stuff there.

I’m sure there’s some biblical analogy for kicking a field goal down by 35 at the end of the third…
You could hear the pain in Simm’s voice when he saw Tebow’s mechanics on that dead fish throw before the FG.

Well, I’ve heard Simms say “eem” for “him” for the last time tonite. I’m out.
Also, too, the stress of rooting for the Pats has done me in.

People can write off one game (yeah I get it’s a pretty damned important game but..). I’m not in Denver so not having an ear to the ground I’m still going to say Elway’s got no choice with all the public pressure but to stick it out with TD Jeebus at least by training camp next year.

What do you suppose Tim Tebow says when he’s sacked? My brother suggested “Nutty Fudgekins!”

Oh boy, after the game the local cbs news is airing a story on a tebow praying pretzel.

Tebow is a professional quarterback, isn’t he?

The announcers have become utter slurp-monkeys of Tebow. Even when he is playing QBs like Brady who have always been announcer favorites. Even when he plays like utter garbage they can’t stop saying how great he is.
I am enjoying this beatdown tremendously. If that makes me a bad person, then so be it.

Will someone please tell Jim Nantz that a 40 yard completion with 7 minutes left in the fourth quarter with the score at 45-10 is not something to get excited about.
Aaaaaand, as usual, Tebow blows it from 3 yards out.

@geg6:
Look at it from his perspective: he’s gotta sit in that cold booth for another half-quarter (8th?) of painfully bad football and try to keep people from tuning out.

Someone needs to read Matthew 6:6 to Mr. Tebow.
Also good would be an explanation of the term “hubris”.
Then they could move on to a lesson on the phrase “how the mighty have fallen”.
Pongo
You are so right. And then there will be an inspiring documentary special about how he nearly lost his faith after god allowed him to experience a humiliating loss to that heathen, Tom Brady. This important life lesson taught him that only through humility and perseverance, coupled with God’s grace, would he able to move forward and fulfill his life of service (to multi-million dollar endorsement deals), ultimately restoring his faith in his own (and God’s) awesomeness. Terry Bradshaw will narrate.

@Pongo: This was supposed to be posted in response to the commenter who suggested this ‘tragic’ loss will only serve to give the blowhards more to analyze and fret over with regard to Tebow. Sorry–can’t find the original post now.

“Kurt Warner was a nice religious guy and there was not this uproar because he wasn’t a religious wear it on your face freak..”
No, Kurt Warner (and his entire family — wife, parents, etc.) WERE “in your face” people with religion if you knew them (he’s from where I’m from–believe me, Kurt was a dick with his religion). It’s just that the country was a bit different then. The degree to which the religious “right” wants to take over the country has changed a lot since Warner’s days in the NFL.
