    Great story Max. You just can't hear enough good things about this guy. I hope Denver drafts some good offensive talent in the offseason to help him out. They need to get Percy Harvin out of Minn.

    Good game yesterday. The Pats are stacked with talent compared to Denver. Timmy held his own. That's 3 games in a row passing for 200 yards. Not bad for an offense that is number one in the NFL for rushing.

    All i keep seeing is one article after another like that about Tebow, its hard to imagine someone could be crazy enough to hate a person like that simply because he is a hardcore bible thumper, especially when he is out there doing more good in the world at his age then most people will in their lifetime.

    I agree with you that they need to get some talent around him now. When you look at his supporting cast on offense he has no one, once Moreno is back in the lineup, all they need is a couple good recievers, Moreno will work out awesome in that offense because he is a good multi purpose back.

    Frankly i was expecting him to look out of his element in that game, but he looked better then most first year QB's do passing, and he has no one to throw the ball to. That rushing TD right off the bat was sick.

    I was expecting a blowout, and even though i got what i was betting on, that game could very easily been close. If it wasnt for three fumbles which led to 17 points, Denver would have been right in that game, and Tebow's passing looked just fine.

    THATS NOT FUCKING HOLDING!!! :D

    This makes me wonder just how much they have to edit out of those "SoundFX" videos that they have on the NFL network, in order to pmake something they can put on t.v.

  4. Roger Goodell is the worst thing to happen to the NFL in years. Another "corporate suit" essentially destroying the game with all his damn rule changes and fines, etc, etc....The number of penalties called is also off the charts, some of these games just have no rhythm at all with all the penalties, the 3 and outs, etc and the mandatory commercial breaks in between.

    I did get a kick out of the size of that OL. He was literally a foot taller than the coach of StL (forgot his name).

    Coaches name is Tony Sporano i think

    I agree they have completely pussified the game. They end up fining and suspending guys all the time for helmet to helmet. How the hell are you supposed to tackle someone without your head being in front of you? You can make the case for helmet to helmet on a defenseless player, but i just dont know how these guys are supposed to avoid alot of these hits they are getting fined for.

  6. Actually a moment after I posted I remembered it was Spagnola, I think he was on the Giants staff when they won the Superbowl. Sporano was canned a few weeks ago from the Dolphins.

    The helmet to helmet stuff is putting far too much discretion into the hands of what I consider quasi-competent officials. Hell, instant replay negates a significant number of their "f-ups" and just proves that they can't really call the game much better than the average joe. With the added pressure from the "league office", I'm sure these guys have their hand on the yellow flag non-stop just waiting to throw it and get into the good graces of Goodell.

    Granted some of the veteran players with brain damage put the game into perspective, but I doubt a single one of them would advocate turning the game into what it's quickly becoming for a basically unknown outcome. (who is to say these guys won't have the same brain injuries 20 years from now).

  8. An intelligent article about Tebow and faith.

    Tebow's Religion: Fair Game
    And when we're done talking about that, let's discuss how he becomes a better quarterback than
    Andy Dalton
    By Charles P. Pierce (http://www.grantland.com/search/_/query/charles-p-pierce) POSTED
    DECEMBER 19, 2011
    don't know what this means in the grand theological scheme of things, but the best play Tim Tebow made
    yesterday came in the third quarter, when his athleticism and his brains kept him from looking foolish on
    SportsCenter replays from now until the final trumpet sounds. With Denver already far behind New England, the
    Broncos had the ball on their own 2-yard line. New England's Brandon Deaderick got in clean and had Tebow
    wrapped up for an obvious safety, but Tebow fought him off and got free, dropping the ball in the process. He picked
    it up and circled deeper into the end zone with a couple of Patriots still in pursuit. They had open shots at him, too,
    but they couldn't bring him down, and Tebow still had enough left to throw a pass across his body with enough
    ginger on it that he avoided an intentional grounding penalty.
    That was his best moment. Through a combination of athleticism and intelligence, he avoided a safety and he
    avoided a penalty. Otherwise, his team might have lost 43-23. Nevertheless, it was the most exciting play for no gain
    that I've ever seen.
    (As such, it goes on the list with something I saw the late Steve McNair do in college. By an odd set of circumstances,
    I happened to be in Mississippi the day McNair played against what was then called Troy State in his last game at
    Alcorn. Midway through the game, McNair got flushed from the pocket, circled back about 30 yards, juked and faked
    his way through virtually the entire Troy defense, and then, at the end of the play, jumped over some dude for a
    1-yard gain that was the greatest 1-yard gain I've ever seen. Now I have my greatest no-gain play to join it. I'm
    thinking of compiling a life list.)
    Reading someone else's mind, and then committing your thoughts on what they're thinking to print, is always a
    mug's game, but I don't think I'm out of line in believing that it was something of a relief to Tebow yesterday to
    discover that all he really has established in his career is that he's a inexperienced quarterback, albeit one with
    unique athletic skills and the throwing motion that Tim Robbins displayed in Bull Durham, who has far, far more to
    learn than he already knows. He does not yet play the position well enough to lead his team to a victory from behind
    against a really good team. (Note: Neither does Mark Sanchez.) My old friend Tony Kornheiser this week called
    Tebow "the most compelling athlete in America" and compared him to Magic Johnson. All I can say is that Mr. Tony
    is becoming easily compelled in his old age. (I may try to steal his wallet by e-mail.) In fact, and as was demonstrated
    yesterday, Tebow's got more in common with Andy Dalton than he does with either Magic Johnson or St. John
    Chrysostom. And so we come to today's reading, from the Gospel of Mark, Chapter One, Verses 35-38:
    "Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed. Simon and his companions went to
    look for him, and when they found him, they exclaimed: 'Everyone is looking for you!' Jesus replied, 'Let us go

    somewhere else — to the nearby villages — so I can preach there also. That is why I have come.'"
    In other words, sooner or later, everyone gets tired of his own hype.

  9. The rest of the article;


    He was not the reason Denver lost 41-23 yesterday, although his inexcusable second-quarter open-field fumble
    helped open the floodgates. The Broncos defense picked a bad day to stop being the 1985 Chicago Bears. Tom
    Brady sliced and diced them for 27 straight points after Denver had started so well. Brady's primary weapon was
    tight end Aaron Hernandez, who used to help Tebow provide Christian witness by stomping all over the rest of the
    SEC. With Denver geared to stop Rob Gronkowski, the other gifted young New England tight end, Hernandez had
    his best day as a pro — nine catches for 129 yards and a touchdown. There are a dozen good reasons why Denver is
    not as good a football team as New England, and the relative abilities of their respective quarterbacks is right at the
    top of the list. Tom Brady can control an entire game. The available evidence indicates that Tim Tebow can control a
    game just well enough to put his kicker in position to nail one from 59 yards to tie a team that yesterday lost by 24
    points to the Seattle Seahawks. Compelling? Not as a player. Not yet.
    But, of course, that was not what the past week was about, either. Tim Tebow became "compelling" because he
    became a character in the great national dumbshow that is our culture war. And we should be very clear about one
    thing — he wasn't dragooned into this. Nobody drafted him. He walked into this role with his eyes open. Before he
    ever took a snap in the NFL, he appeared in an anti-choice television ad with his mother that was sponsored by
    Focus on the Family, an influential anti-choice, anti-gay-rights organization founded by the Rev. James Dobson. He
    knew what he was doing.
    (Added historical curiosity: Dobson was playing in the pickup basketball game during which Pistol Pete Maravich
    was stricken and died. Strike two.)
    Which made a lot of the chin-stroking about Tebow's religion over the past weeks pretty much beside the point. It
    has been argued paradoxically that his faith is both vital to his success and off-limits to criticism. This is, of course,
    nonsense. He put his business in the street that way, and he did so by allying himself with the softer side of a
    movement that contains other organizations that the Southern Poverty Law Center, which knows about this stuff,
    recently designated as hate groups. There was considerable thumb-sucking about the propriety of criticizing — or,
    gloriosky, perhaps even mocking — Tebow's conspicuous religiosity. This was an ironical moment in that it came in
    the week that journalist Christopher Hitchens died, and it was Hitchens whom I first heard say, although he may
    have been quoting someone else, that the only proper answer a journalist can give to the question "Is nothing
    sacred?" is "Yes."
    Of course, you can mock public religiosity. You can treat it with scorn and disdain. You can put a rubber nose and
    clown shoes on it. That's a proud American tradition. Read Mencken. Read Mark Twain. Hell, read James Madison,
    never known in his day as a comic stylist, although he was said to have been great fun in small groups, and he did
    get the Gisele Bundchen of 19th-century political wives to marry him. Start him up on public religion, though, and
    the little guy was on fire:
    During almost fifteen centuries has the legal establishment of Christianity been on trial. What has been its fruits?
    More or less, in all places, pride and indolence in the clergy; ignorance and servility in the laity; in both,
    superstition, bigotry and persecution.
    Let us be quite clear — Tim Tebow adheres to a particular form of American Protestantism. He belongs to — and
    proselytizes for — a splinter of a splinter, no more or less than Mitt Romney once did. This particular splinter has a
    long record in America of fostering anti-Enlightenment thought, retrograde social policies, and, more discreetly,
    religious bigotry. To call Tim Tebow a "Christian," and to leave it at that — as though there were one definition of
    what a "Christian" is — is to say nothing and everything at once. Roman Catholics are Christians. So are Lutherans,

    Episcopalians, Melkites, Maronites, and members of the Greek and Russian Orthodox faiths. You can see how
    insidious this is when discussion turns to the missionary work that Tebow's family has done in the Philippines. This
    is from the Five Priorities of the Bob Tebow ministries, regarding its work overseas:
    It is the goal of the Bob Tebow Evangelistic Association to preach the gospel to every person who has never had an
    opportunity to hear the good news of eternal life in Jesus Christ. Most of the world's population has never once had
    the opportunity to hear the only true message of forgiveness of sins by faith alone, in Jesus Christ alone.
    It so happens that 95 percent of the population of the Philippines is Roman Catholic. Catholic doctrine just happens
    to be in conflict with what Bob Tebow and his son preach in regard to personal salvation. (To devout Catholics, for
    example, sins are not forgiven "by faith alone," but through the sacrament of reconciliation as administered by a
    priest.) Bob Tebow's goal is not to convert unbelievers. It is to supplant an existing form of Christianity. So who's the
    actual Christian here? This is not an idle point to be made. Down through history, millions of people have died in
    conflicts over what a "Christian" really is, which is what so exercised Madison, and also what brought down a lot of
    Hitchens' wrath upon religion in general. History says that as soon as you start talking about "the only true message"
    in this regard, you guarantee that, eventually, people will get slaughtered in the town square.
    Earlier this week, some kids were suspended at a high school on Long Island for "Tebowing" — dropping to one knee
    in prayerful contemplation — in the hallways. Asked for his reaction, Tebow replied, "You have to respect the
    position of authority and people that God has put in authority over you, so that's part of it. But I think it does show
    courage from the kids, standing out and doing that, and some boldness."
    First of all, God is involving Himself in how they select principals to run the high schools on Long Island? That's a
    bear of an interview process right there. And you will note the obvious passive-aggressiveness in the second part of
    the answer. Obey your principal because God got him the job, but, damn, these kids are brave in their faith to defy
    the principal's authority and, by extension of the first point, God's. This is childish. It is silly. And it also makes my
    head hurt.
    If we're going to have a real discussion about the place of public religion in our public spectacles, then let's have one
    instead of some mushy, Wonder Bread platitudes about how great it is that Tim Tebow talks about Jesus and doesn't
    get caught doing strippers two at a time in the hot tub. If religion comes into the public square, it is as vulnerable as
    any other human institution to be pelted with produce. Ignorance does not become wisdom just because you gussy
    it up with the Gospels. If we keep faith with those American values, then we might just let him off the hook enough
    to see if he simply can become a better quarterback than Andy Dalton.

    Bill Maher does it again. The left wing douche bag that doesn't even know what a football looks like is offering post game analysis.

    Bill Maher Draws Ire with Profane Tweet About Tebow

    Updated: Tuesday, 27 Dec 2011, 4:06 PM EST
    Published : Tuesday, 27 Dec 2011, 4:06 PM EST

    (NewsCore) - Comedian Bill Maher drew the ire of Tim Tebow fans and Christians over the weekend after a profane tweet reveling in the Broncos' blowout loss to the Buffalo Bills.

    "Wow, Jesus just f*cked #TimTebow bad! And on Xmas Eve! Somewhere ... Satan is tebowing, saying to Hitler "Hey, Buffalo's killing them," Maher tweeted.

    Tebow, whose team suffered its second straight loss after a six-game winning streak, did not respond to Maher's tweet.

    After the disappointing 40-14 road loss, Tebow tweeted, "Tough game today but what's most important is being able to celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Merry Christmas everyone GB2."

    GB2 is a phrase Tebow has made popular that means "God Bless + Go Broncos," according to his official website.

    The tweet prompted some to call for a boycott of Maher's HBO show "Real Time with Bill Maher."

    Maher, an atheist, made a 2008 documentary called "Religulous" that mocked organized religion, and he routinely jokes about religion on his show.

    Maher has not commented on the criticism.
