I'm On The Bandwagon

I watched my first football game of the season yesterday, and I was toooootallllllllyyyyyy stoked. Guess who I watched...Lil Timmy Tebow.

OK atheist bare with me. Fo sho I do not like his outward and external, expression of his faith. If he came into my work and slapped my ass after making his mocha and said "Praise the Lord, Kriss. He enabled you to make this delicious mocha for me," I'd say, "Shut the fuck up, asshole." I'm just talking football right now.

The game was really good, tight, close score and even went into overtime. Team Jesus was the underdog and it looked like, fer freekin' sure, that the powerhouse Steelers were going to win...then "He" appeared. If you don't know all season the Broncos (Team Jesus) have played horribly until the four quarter then, as many a TV announcer has said, "divine intervention" happens. This game was no different.

Team Jesus got the ball first and first team to score wins in overtime. Team Jesus had been running the option for most of the game...so what are they going to do in the beginning of overtime...gee I dunno, I guess just run the fake-option-play-action pass because the Steelers were playing tight and 8 or nine men in the box, three step drop to a receiver that ran an arrow-post route for a freekin' 80 touchdown on the very first play of overtime....for the win.

That was pure football epic. The underdogs won, the critics were proven wrong and the best part...I got to see Lil Timmy...Tebowing.

* Here's some fakey fake numerology. Timmy used to wear john 3:16 on his super macho footbally eyeliner when he played at Florida State. Guess what...he threw for 316 yards on Sunday and had done 316 interviews up till that point. I guess it's true, that Mathew 5:5 Blessed are the meek, for they will all inherent the earth."

* Don't revoke my atheist card. I'm gonna do a post on the concert I went to this weekend, then back to that atheist blogosphere grind that I heart so much.

* Good funny article at RNS. Even The Friendly Atheist chimed in. Awesome.

* the legend of Timmy is just too awesome. this is from the mighty Slate....

By playing nine and even 10 men in the box, Pittsburgh ensured that any play-action pass that Tebow completed would go for huge yardage. Tebow was just 10 for 21 on Sunday, but five of those 10 completions went for at least 30 yards. One of those came on the first (and last) play of overtime, when the Broncos cleverly faked a first-down run, leaving Demaryius Thomas in man coverage without a safety over the top. Tebow found Thomas across the middle, and—after a great stiff arm at mid-field—the Broncos receiver ran down the sideline for an 80-yard touchdown. Why did the Broncos win? Because the Steelers held Tim Tebow in such low esteem that they didn't believe he could complete a simple crossing pattern.


That' what I said.
