"The Pass" according to Tecmo
Tim Tebow's TD Pass to Demaryius Thomas to Beat the Steelers in Overtime...Tecmo Style - YouTube
Jeez, this crap just doesn't stop.....
And I feel it's my duty to keep every one of you informed......
(It is interesting that in 18 years only 11 athletes have been chosen.)

Poll: Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow is America’s favorite athlete
By PATRICK SAUNDERS
Tebow-mania is reaching the stratosphere.
According to a new ESPN Sports Poll http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/7...ncos-tim-tebow-us-favorite-active-pro-athlete, the Broncos’ quarterback is now America’s favorite active pro athlete.
The poll, which is calculated monthly, had Tebow on top the list for the month of December. And get this, in the 18 years of the ESPN Sports Poll, only 11 different athletes have held the No. 1 spot in monthly polling. That illustrious includes the like of Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods and LeBron James.
In December’s poll, Tebow was picked by 3 percent of those surveyed as their favorite active pro athlete. That put him ahead of Kobe Bryant (2 percent), Aaron Rodgers (1.9 percent), Peyton Manning (1.8 percent) and Tom Brady (1.5 percent) in the top-five of the results.
Tebow is just the sixth different athlete to finish No. 1 in the monthly rankings since 2007. The others are Brett Favre, Manning, Woods, Bryant and James.

Watching soem videos of Terrel suggs going after Tebow is just funny. I hope the Broncos get to face them.

According to a new ESPN Sports Poll ESPN Sports Poll -- Denver Broncos' Tim Tebow is U.S.' favorite active pro athlete - ESPN, the Broncos’ quarterback is now America’s favorite active pro athlete.

Given his popularity, I'd have to think Tebow will be a front runner to grace next year's Madden cover. The Madden Curse vs. Timothy Tebow. Now THAT would be a matchup for the ages!
He hasn't been really big on sponsorships, so hard to say.

I love Tim for what he did for my school. But, I am getting Tebow fatigue. I don't blame him, ESPN is doing him no favors.
Divisional Playoffs- Thoughts on Each Match Up
New Orleans @ San Francisco- A classic offense vs. defensive match-up. All I keep hearing about is how New Orleans isn't the same team outside of the Superdome. I suppose that's a fair way in justifying a possible win by San Francisco. But I don't buy it. At all. In order for the Niners to win, they'd have to hold the Saints to under 20 points. And I just don't see that happening. The Niners were a good story this year, but the Saints roll in this one. Easily.
Denver @ New England- If any coach can come up with a game plan to neutralize Tebow, it's Bill Belichick. I don't see his staff conducting the same mistakes as Dick LeBeau did a week ago. The only thing making this game close though, would be that New England might not have the personnel to implement Belichick's plan the way he's envisioned. Denver has the defense and run game to make this a close one, however I think the difference maker in this game will be Terrific Tom Brady. It's hard to imagine Tom not being able to counter whatever Denver throws at him. Sorry Teboners. The T-Train stops here.
Houston @ Baltimore- This game will be closer than most people are forecasting. Neither QB is a difference maker. Flacco has regressed this year as a QB. And Yates is a backup's backup rookie. The game will come down to defense and running the ball. A very old school game. Brain Cushing and DeMeco Ryan vs. Ray Lewis and T-Sizzle. Arian Foster vs. Ray Rice. For those who are disappointed the Steelers didn't get a rematch at Baltimore in the playoffs, watch this one. It'll be a similar type of game. I like Baltimore in a close one.
Giants @ Green Bay- Flurries expected through the weekend with 4-6" of fresh snow arriving tomorrow. At the Historic Frozen Tundra of Lambeau Field. The well rested 15-1 Packers versus the playing-as-well-as-they've-been-all-year New York Football Giants. The front 4 on the Giants will put pressure on Aaron Rodgers. That much is certain. Enough so to make it interesting. But it won't make a difference. He's Aaron freaking Rodgers after all. The undisputed best QB in the league right now. Rest or rust, it won't matter. Eli Manning has had a very under-appreciated year and has emerged as one of the NFL's elite. The New York media and others are giving the Giants WAY too much of a chance in this one. And I think it's a trap. A sucker's bet if you will. I don't see how Green Bay loses this one. They win by at least 2 TD's and continue their march to become one of the few back-to-back Super Bowl champions.

it DOES snow in the Tri-state area and does get cold too.... I HIGHLY doubt weather will affect the Giants.
I really think there is very little effect in December and January on warm weather/dome teams traveling to play cold weather teams. I would wager the records of those teams isn't much different than the home team advantage that already exists throughout the NFL, regardless of location.
Let's say it is snowing in Green Bay...it's not like the Giants have been practicing in the snow all year. In fact, they don't practice in the snow at all. They don't even practice outdoors!!!
It's really no different than a team like Atlanta coming to Green Bay, when you think about it.
Now, I think playing surface could make a difference, like with New Orleans going to San Francisco, especially if it's muddy. This is the rainy season in California.
But I think the effect of cold weather/snow is very much overrated.

Where did I say the weather would be a deciding factor?
If anything, the snow will help the Giants since they have the superior run game. With that said, I still like the Packers.
