Tebow: 316 sets NFL, Twitter records

Posted Mon Jan 9th by

  • Tim Tebow‘s 316 passing yards performance — an NFL postseason record-setting 31.6 yards per reception — is already the stuff of legend. We all know of Tebow’s John 3:16 eye makeup he would wear during his days at Florida, but the fact that the Denver Broncos quarterback managed to turn his playoff performance into a statistical homage to the Bible passage is a coincidence (omen?) that defies explanation. The Internet is reacting in kind. Tebow: 316 just occurred yesterday, and we were all witnesses.
  • Tebow’s 80-yard touchdown pass to Demaryius Thomas set a new record on Twitter for sports tweets, hitting a 9,420 tweets-per-second pace that bested Beyonce’s baby news and fell second all-time only to the announcement of a Japanese anime movie in December.

  • Tebow’s performance incited a plethora of praise and news from sources not-typical of a playoff quarterback’s performance. Lada Gaga talked about what the f*** a champion looked like, and the Drudge Report was at a loss for wowowowo-words.
  • Tebow earned a good chunk of change on top of it all — $250,000 for the playoff win thanks to a clause in his contract. In fact, all the Broncos got paid. But, for the quarterback, let’s make it an even million, shall we?

    I like what one commenter I saw earlier said:  Denver is going to the Super Bowl where the game will be won on the final play where Tebow runs it in from 80 yards out.  After strutting through the end zone he will ascend into heaven and the rapture will begin.

    I continue to maintain that God cannot possibly care about who wins an NFL game, but that doesn’t make me like Tebow one iota less.  Two questions/thoughts: I did see a few people noted that it was, sort of unbelievably, the two first-round draft picks of McD’s era that connected on the game winning play.  So, was it really McD who was responsible for making those picks?  Because I’d like to keep my current mental image of him as a bumbling, arrogant jerk who ruined our franchise, but if forced to, I’ll have to give him props…
    Second, I think the future direction of our entire franchise was defined in 11 seconds, for better or worse (I believe for the better).  That’s got to be some sort of record, right?

    I’m tired of all the excuses vein made for the steelers. And I expect nothin less but to hear props from BroncoTalk! So let’s get it going. You can only beat the team in front of you and the Broncos beat the Steelers. Let’s get out all the steeled injuries. Clark couldn’t play neither could Dawkins. Rashard tore his acl… So did knowshon. Pauncey didn’t play neither did Kuper. Hampton and Kiessel got hurt we lost Ty warren before the season. Big Ben was hurt… Von played with a cast. We also lost Decker right out the gate. Not to mention our so called #1 WR asked to be traded. Did I miss anything? Now don’t get me wrong I’m not bragging I’m not saying we are going to the Super Bowl all I’m saying is the Broncos deserve some credit!

    Yes it was. It’s the fastest finish in a playoff game since the era of the Super Bowl.

    Took the thoughts right out of my mind!! Amazing!! We’re focused on Brady before the rapture begins!!

    In response to God not caring about a football game: Correct, He does not care about the football game. But He cares about the tens of thousands of hits on Google looking up the John 3:16 passage…possibly one of the most important passages in the bible that really gets people wanting to know more. God is using Tebow, that is a fact if you look at it from God’s eyes.

    Yea verily…

    It came to pass that Robert and Pamela, (Tebow), gave their only begotton son to the NFL, and tho’ he be chosen by “The Evil One”, he leadeth us to the promised land…

    (Well…Foxborough, any hoo…)

    …and lo… we dost dream of heaven’s gate… (in this case, Indianapolis)

    … and the holy grail… (Lombardi)

    …and we dare to express our faith… as we wisely revere the good (play) book and the verse that was read aloud at Sunday’s service at the cathedral of the Mile High…

    John (Fox) – 316 (yards)

    …and we (our post-season) shall be saved…

    Let us pray…

    For Tim so
    loved football,
    that he saved
    his best plays for
    the end of the game,that whosoeverbelieveth in himwould not perish,but would haveeverlastingimprobablevictories.

    I am mocking nothing; neither the verse nor the man.  However, I appreciate what you appear to be defending.
