Far East Cynic

Things have been put back to the way they should be…….

As a loyal Steeler fan, I should be hating the New England Patriots-regardless of what time of the season it is. But this year-they are my new heroes. Simply for pounding the Denver Tebows back into submission and sending Tim Tebow home to where he should be in the playoffs: watching them on TV.

The Tebow hype has been, to put it politely, overdone to the point of ridiculousness. He's a religious man? He's not the first and won't be the last NFL player to be that way. He does great things for charity? Again not entirely a unique thing in the NFL-although the league as a whole could improve on that score. He's a good quarterback? Yes he is-but he's not really that much better than the rest-$%^&ing 80 yard TD pass in overtime to beat my beloved Steelers not withstanding. 
 

Having Tebow thrusting his Christian beliefs upon the populace-definitely makes you hate him more than if he were just a mere Denver Bronco.

So for all of these reasons-and the even better one of the fact the Steelers should have played New England not Denver, I will savor the drubbing the boy and his teammates got today!

 

  1. It is not his fault-but don't kid yourself, he encouraged it. For two reasons-neither of them sinister-it helps cement his repuation as a rising star QB, and because it can be construed as his way of obeying The Great Commission.
    Which is fine-but there is a time and a place for it. And I would rather the discussion be on the merits of a 9-8 team beating an 11-5 team.

  2. and they sent Baltimore back to the bay to eat some more crabcakes and crow. PROST!!!!
