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!
