I’m certain the God is helping Tebow exact as much as she is helping anyone else. That said, Go Broncos!

@Travis: Following a team can have a lot to do with regional or group identity. It’s a bit like a religion in that aspect, except that the miracles are well documented with instant replay. 🙂

Those numbers make me feel unhappy about the thought processes of both Republicans and Democrats.

As for team loyalty, I really do not get it at all. All the sports I watch largely result in my support of individuals, or teams that work well together (I mainly watch golf and curling, plus a fair bit of touring, rally and F1 racing), because I can recognize their skill. But how I feel shifts all the time as new players rise and teams change. The idea of being a lifelong fan of any constantly changing team, seemingly regardless of their skill, how they are managed, or well anything other than it being a specific team, is beyond me.

As a life long Pats fan I’m looking forward to seeing them kick the Bronco’s ass. Of course. I’d say the same thing if Tebow wasn’t with them. I really don’t have much against one delusional but sincere and from all accounts good man as much as the Godbots using him.

Well, the poll worded it quite differently, which makes me more sad now. “Attributed to divine intervention.”

I think that God, i.e. his belief in a sky-fairy, is helping him win games, too.

You know, if God is helping him, just think about how bad he would be without God helping him.

He will get yet another humiliating loss from the Patriots, just like the December game.

That second number makes me sad.

Nope, he’s with the Broncos.

In other words, he’s an ass.

Nope, he’s with the Broncos. I’m torn between who I want to win the Patriots/Broncos game this week. I can’t stand the Patriots, but I can’t stand the media coverage of Tebow either. I may have to go with the lesser of two evils this week and hope the Pats whip the Broncos like they did a few weeks ago.
