Getting a little sad now. 4-13, 37 yards, 4 sacks, two fumbles, the last returned for a TD. He’s looking like a little kid out there. ---

> [@spazurek](#): > > And I really must object to the accusation of ‘militant atheism’. I never have, and never will, criticize someone their belief unless they try to criticize mine. You know, I know, and everyone else knows what it means when I guy stands on the street with a sign reading “John 3:16”. It means “you’re going to hell if you’re not a believer.” > > Painting it in eyeblack and posing for a magazine cover means the same thing. No, it says: > [@](#): > > For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. Which basically says that those who believe in Jesus are given eternal life (Heaven). It didn’t say “And anyone who tries any other way goes to HELL!!!” SOME Christians interpret it that way, but the words don’t translate that, and not ALL Christians believe it that way. Catholicism, for example, doesn’t teach that. And you don’t know if that’s the way Tebow means it. As I stated before, Troy Polamalu is also very religious (although he’s Greek Orthodox rather than Protestant). A family member of mine knows him and can vouch that he’s a really, REALLY stand-up individual. Back to the thread: wouldn’t putting messages or anything on your eyeblack negate the purpose? How can still protect you from the glare if it’s no longer black? Or doesn’t it matter if it’s just a little sticker? ---

If you’re a Broncos fan, don’t hate him because of his beliefs, hate him because he can’t play worth shit. ---

The analysts on the post-game show are being absolutely brutal. All of the guys who are former players are saying he needs to be benched this week, and if he isn’t the coach will lose the team. Tebow gave a mealy mouthed performance at the podium after the game that caused the analysts to rip into him with renewed vigor. I’ve never seen anything like this. ---

A guy on Yahoo is excusing Tebow for sucking because at least him sucking is something to talk about. ---

During the game, Steven Tulloch, a Lions linebacker, completed a sack of Tebow and sank to the ground and took a knee, ala the latest internet fad for dumbshits. After the game, Tebow apparently held no hard feelings and wished Tulloch luck for the rest of the season. Seems like a classy move by Tebow. Kudos. I hate what the hype machine on both sides has done to the kid. He’s not an NFL caliber QB, and likely won’t ever be, but I don’t think anyone deserves the blind praise, or the blind hatred, that he seems to elicit. ---

> [@Intergalactic\_Gladiator](#): > > Is it too late to try Tebow out as an H back? It was suggested by more than one draft analyst when Tebow was entering the draft. Tebow indicated that he wanted to play quarterback, and that’s what the Broncos said when they drafted him. ---
