Tim Tebow stands at crossroads of sports, religion and popular culture
The Washington Post

The country’s athlete of the moment isn’t Aaron Rodgers, who has the Green Bay Packers chasing an undefeated season as he crafts one of the greatest years ever by an NFL quarterback. Nor is it Albert Pujols, whose skills at hitting a baseball are so rare that the Los Angeles Angels agreed Thursday to pay him $254 million over the next 10 years.

No, this is about much more. It’s about someone whose football exploits and displays of faith inspire fans to wear replica Denver Broncos jerseys with his number 15 and “Jesus” where his name should be. A two-time national champion and Heisman Trophy winner in college, he hasn’t mastered the most basic skill of his position — throwing a football accurately to another player — to the satisfaction of many NFL experts.

“How can you not respect the guy for who he is and what he’s done?” McHie said. “He’s genuine. I don’t think you could find a disingenuous bone in his body. He just makes you feel good. And the country needs something to feel good about, with all else that is going on. It’s a distraction. And it’s a nice distraction, I think.”

WooHoo
Average game. Great ending.
Could someone please start telling this guy it is the 4th quarter or overtime about 6 minutes into the first quarter.

What gets me is the continued reference to his inability to throw a football. He demonstrated his ability to throw the football as in the last two games. If receivers drop the ball it shows up in his stats to make him look like he is not throwing the ball well. That aside, he has demonstrated it all already and the experts who are so dogmatic in their analysis will just have to live with being proven wrong over and over again.

As for the last game, he threw the ball to receivers. Hit them in the chest with it and they let them fall to the ground. Hit their fingertips and they did not elevate to pull the ball in. Then there is the matter of play calling and the opposing defense playing well. Chicago did take away much of our running game and that together with an inability to catch a ball left us with 3 and out.

Next to Warsaw , Chicago has the largest Polish population
In the world.

Explains alot don't it.

You knew this was coming.
