Many things can be said about Tim Tebow. He is a Heisman trophy winner, a fourth quarter miracle maker, a devout Catholic and America’s favorite new controversial topic. Tebow has been obsessed over by all types of people because of the unique and exciting playing style that he brings to the NFL. This season, Tebow had more yards in the fourth quarter than in the other three combined—either the result of extreme luck or divine forces finally answering his constant prayers, the public has said. This inexplicable end of game surge was parodied in a Saturday Night Live skit last month. In the skit, Jesus, played by Jason Sudeikis, explained how he was indeed the one responsible for the Broncos’ wins but he only had enough time to show up for the last quarter of their games.

All of this inconsistency has caused much excitement. The wild card playoff game against the Pittsburgh Steelers recorded the most fans ever to watch a first round playoff game. Those viewers were rewarded with the Broncos’ fourth overtime win of the season that ended with an 80-yard reception to Demaryius Thomas. Afterwards, Tebow celebrated by doing what has become known as “Tebowing.”

For those who don’t know, Tebowing is when you go down on one knee and pray. It has become an obsession across the U.S. Students in Long Island got suspended for going along with the trend when forty kids spontaneously Tebowed in the hallway. The majority of the drama ended when the Patriots blew away Tebow and his beloved Broncos in the quarterfinals. He now has a chance for the media’s excitement to settle so that he can focus on practicing and coming back in the fall ready to prove that he deserves to be recognized as one of the great quarterbacks of the NFL.
