Why is Tebowing a thing? - Page 5

Tebow's magic may be running out, though they still have a chance next week against the chiefs, who are about as dreadful as the broncoes.

The Steelers still have a shot at winning their division. The play at the brownies and the ravens play at the bungles, who need to win to get in the playoffs. Either way, Batch should start so that Big Ben can get somewhat healthy for the playoffs.

I'll say this much. Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers (my favorite team) is considered one of, if not the, best quarterbacks in the league right now. He doesn't gain his power from reverence to God in the middle of a football game and slowing down the game.

No, good sirs and siresses, he gets it from the faithful patriotic past time of photobombing.

Plus he helped lead the packers to a nearly perfect season so far, and holds one of the longest win records since the 1980s. In short:

I am afraid that my Steelers are going to have to be the evil team that some think that they are and knock out Tim Tebow and the Broncoes. Here we go, Steelers, here we go!

Haha, after they just had trouble beating the Browns? With Roethlisberger hobbling around and Mendenhall out with a torn ACL, unless it's Charlie Batch handing the ball off to Redman for 60 minutes I don't even want to try and pretend I think they'll win. At least with that strategy they might win through the Broncos defense presuming they won't run that play 100 times in a row. And it might not even matter. It is Isaac Redman, after all. Easily my favorite rookie right now. He brings back fond memories of a rosier, Jerome Bettis-ish time.

And with Batch you at least get the possibility he might be able to roll out of the pocket. He might just suddenly start doing that! A half a bird in the hand beats one on crutches, they say.

It's not surprising you like the Packers, Raiden, as they are the most popular team right now, with 22% of a recent poll. This was rather hilariously run as the headline "Cowboys haven't been 'America's team' in a while".

And are "America's most hated team" now.

And I'd disappointed in my Dolphins this year.... They've just been sucking it up all over the place in the last quarter of games. I can't remember how many leads they've blown in the last quarter this season.

Man I was going to be all for the Cowboy-bashing but then the article quickly made it clear that, because 34 percent of Americans are apparently really terrible judges of awesomeness, the real moral of the poll is "Americans are just stupid, dislike amazing things."

Still can't figure out why EA hasn't taken the Madden franchise and figured out how to combine Fantasy Football with their football simulator to like, show you the actual game that would have occurred had your Fantasy Football team in your Fantasy Football league played another Fantasy Football team of your friend's, so as to make money in some other shape or form. Like you pump your numbers and play-by-play from your Fantasy Football game into the game system by pressing a button or something and it shoots out a computerized football game simulation. They were already trying to do something like this by integrating stock footage into some of these Fantasy Football sites, since heretofore most of them have just been like, dots chasing each other or something.

(My understanding of Fantasy Football is pretty sparse, as I don't participate in what appears to be the nerdiest damn thing ever. Like it makes Dungeons & Dragons seem positively mainstream in its execution if you really think about it).

Maybe I'm missing something but isn't Fantasy Football just the "Create a Team" thing that Madden games have, but players get their stats adjusted based on previous game performance? It would probably be simpler just to have a regular DLC adjustment to X player's stats. OR! that thing everyone's been saying for years, that they really shouldn't be releasing new "Major Sport x year" games and just doing the DLC thing by now.

Aaron Rodgers made a dark pact with the desolate one, everyone knows that.

Also Fantasy Football is Dungeons and Dragons for Jocks.

But I wonder, then... what would Final Fantasy Football be?

Water polo. It lacks the 3-dimensional field and poison blitzballs, but pretty much this is what Tidus was good at and what the entire entertainment culture of Spira pretty much revolved around.

Now you know why FFX is terrible.

Pretty much, as far as I can tell, this is what I meant I think.

Yesterday, I scored a sweet goal on a penalty shot in a hockey game. As my celebration, I Tebow'd. Even the other team thought it was hilarious.

Thank you, internet.
