Why is Tebowing a thing?

[Fifthfiend]

Hahaha moments to himmself.

Yeah that's why he joined a national professional sports league and then started doing this in the middle of nationally broadcast games for that league.

Because he wants moments to himself.

I'm sure that's the same reason he paints bible verses on his face and makes shitty anti-choice Superbowl commercials.

When this asshole stops pointing to God and starts pointing to his defensive line then I'll start believing he's just some innocently well-meaning self-effacing dude who just happens to believe in his faith.

I had him as a Passive-Aggressive Anti-Christ myself... but hey! Wha'chu'know...

I must say i'm a little bit torned...

See, here, 90% of all Football (not fucking soccer...) players celebrate their goals, victories or achievements during a match by thanking God, or something like that... mostly it's just looking and pointing up and saying "thank you god" or somesuch while running back to their side of the field, so... it's still a personal thing, but it's not drawing focus over them... also it's pretty common.

This guy, on the other hand... kinds does the same thing, but in a situation where the whole focus is right on him, center stage... so it's kinds weird to see that as a "personal moment"

I thought Fifthfiend was secretely Benjamin Ashworth Ramsbottom, Strict Baptist and editor of the Gospel Standard, because of his opposition to the doctrines of duty-faith and the free offer.

Any accolades Roethlisberger would receive over Tebow go down the toilet every time he turns the ball over four times a game. He is much like Babe Ruth, except getting struck out a lot doesn't really lose you a ball game, and a homerun will win you one, whereas one touchdown ain't gonna do shit unless you're playing the Dolphins or something, and throwing three interceptions will lose you a ballgame right quick. So he is actually not like Babe Ruth at all.

The Steelers always lose to the worst teams. That's why they can't beat the fucking 49ers.

The reason people like Tebow isn't the Tebowing, it's the fact that he's the first competent quarterback the Broncos have had in years and everyone wants him to be the next John Elway despite not being distinguished in any way at all.

He also has a fucked up motion with his throwing arm.

Arn't the 49ers leading their division, and like, 11 and 3?

And the Steelers only lost agenst San Fran, Baltimore, and Houston this year.

So be glad your team's winning games... unlike the Dolphins for the first 2/3 of the season. -_-

I am not sure what Reothlesburger is, except that the accusations happened interestingly enough soon after he got a 100 million dollar contract, and he is married now. They are in the playoffs, but I am not sure how far they will go since his injury really should have side-lined him for at least a month. It may be that evil, the Patriots or even the Ravens, will be victorious this uears.

See this would imply that I pay any attention to the 49ers record. You are indeed correct, however, through some strange fluke of fate the 49ers will be in the playoffs this year, something they haven't done in the past decade if I remember correctly.

This probably has something to do with the End Times. Perhaps that's why Tebow is praying?

All I know is if you don't want to get accused of raping women then quit getting drunk out of your mind and barhopping with college co-eds and having sex with them in bathrooms in your spare time while having your bodyguards keep everyone else away, including the woman's friends she was with. Perhaps this is why he decided to get married.

I mean, I'm just trying to figure out why they told the police immediately after the supposedly consensual sex in the bathroom and complained that she had been sexually assaulted. I mean, where exactly is the time for the in-depth planning and premeditation to defraud an innocent football player of his money by incidentally meeting him at a bar and a few hours later accusing him of rape a few minutes immediately after having sex with him in the bathroom, in fact walking up to the first cop they saw and making the accusation?
