The Broadside of A Barn... That Jesus Built.

Well, for most discerning football fans the season is over. Seriously, let's take a closer look at the final four:

1) Baltimore Ravens... yawn. A great defense, but nothing to really get behind.
2) San Francisco... wow, I am getting sleepy... maybe I'll just take a little nap. I'll just "rest my eyes" for a bit.
3) The New York Football Giants... zzz... they're terrible...zzz.
4) The Patriots... zzz- WHAT THE HELL!!! I just had a nightmare that New England was back in the... Oh... Son-of-a-bitch.

GET OFF MY MOTHER-F*CKING LAWN!

So let's take a look back at the season that was. Great moments. Broken records. Unnecessary gymnastics. Oh, Jesus! How could I forget?! We had Jesus... A LOT of Jesus.

Yes, this was the year of the Tebow. Or more to the point, the "Tebites". So let's talk about him. And them.

Let's just get this out of the way: Tim Tebow was fun to watch. And not in the "God, Joe Montana is fun to watch" kind of way. Tebow was fun to watch in the "Man he's awful. But he's gonna blow it up any minute now" kind of way. Honestly, 90% of the fun that was "Tebow-Mania" was the build up. The anticipation we all had whilst waiting for the impossible to happen. We all sat there waiting for that moment, that one play that would ignite the fuse of the magical dynamite that was the Denver Broncos 2-minute-offense. And a handful of times, that play actually happened. And most magically, it happened on the first play of overtime in the first-round of the play-offs. And if anyone outside of the greater Steel-city metro area suggests that this moment wasn't exhilarating... they're full of it.

Now, nobody not currently in a church really believes that the kid is magical. Or the future of his team. But he's a pretty good guy. Tim Tebow is not polarizing. He's just a faith-based guy that loves his god and loves his job, and no matter what you've been told, he is NOT in your face about his religion. He is insanely likeable... But you know who isn't??? His fans/devotees/cult members. They are polarizing. They are insanely unlikeable. And they are the reason that Tebow is viewed with such skepticism and annoyance by the rest of the country.

Let's go back about a month. Saturday Night Live performed a sketch set in the Broncos locker room post-victory where Tebow... hell, you saw it. Anyhow, the sketch was very funny (if a bit unfair to St. Tim). But you know who didn't find it funny? The Tebites. They were outraged. How dare a national comedy show poke fun at a national figure?!?! How dare a joke-based show make jokes!?!? HOW DARE THEY IMPERSONATE JESUS ON NATIONAL TV (Even though they've done that several times in the past)?!?!

I KNEW IT!!!

But you know who didn't seem to have a problem with it? That's right. Mr. Tebow said nothing. While nut-monkey extraordinaire Pat Robertson was condemning the East-Coast sketch-comedy elitists to hell, Ol' Timmy T went out and played his awkward, yet inspired game (Actually, the day after this sketch aired the Broncos played the Patriots... so not so much inspired that day, just awkward ... but you get the idea).

So the next time you encounter a Tebite,  and they say anything close to the phrase "We told you so!"... here's what you reply: "Yes. You told me so. With no evidence to the contrary, you threw your support behind a wish. And you nailed it. Congrats." Then just walk away because this is not a winnable argument you're about to have.

What the future holds for the Denver Tebows in unknown. It seems that Elway and the rest of the Denver brass are making a very public, possibly genuine, show of support for their quarterback as the hunt for a traditional pocket-passer appears to have been temporarily suspended. So what next??? Hey, here's an idea: what if, and just bare with me now, what if Tebow could get some tutelage from someone? You know, a real traditional passer with good form and all the tangibles. Someone experienced. Someone with wisdom. A retired legend. A hall-of-famer with maybe , i don't know, 2 Super Bowl rings and over 50,000 passing yards??? Yeah, that would be great.

If only he had access to someone like that.
