I don’t watch much football, but I did catch the latter part of the Denver-New England game. It was painful. I found myself feeling sorry for Tebow. He may be a religious loon, but probably no worse than a number of professional athletes. The fact that he is also a reasonably good-looking clean-cut white kid made him the toast of the religious right. It is they, and not he, that I hope can stew on this for a while (from USA Today):

With the Broncos passing game so inept (Tebow completed nine of 26 passes for 136 yards, with a 52.7 efficiency rating) that they were calling option runs in the second half despite trailing by four touchdowns at the intermission, Brady put on a clinic.

Ouch.
