Ready to be Tebowed

"I give all the credit it to my Lord Jesus Christ." That seems like a recitation of a Christian verse, and it is, but it is more than that, it is the talk of the sports world.
Those are words Tim Tebow often quotes after his latest come back. They are words that are making him one of the best role models in recent sports memory. They are pointing the Mile High City to a NFL title.
People around the country are doing the Tebow. That is what Tebow's ritual of praying following a touchdown is being called. Children around the world are hitting their knees to follow Tebow's example. Adults are changing their ritual to one that includes a bowed knee.
A giant "Kudos from The Corner" to Tebow for making those things possible. He doesn't want recognition here or anywhere else but he certainly deserves it. The media is making a big deal out of Tebow's religion. That is because it is so rare.
As long as Tebow keeps up the faith of his now famous phrase above there are no limits to what he can do. He is breaking the ritual of so many Heisman winners which is failure. Very few Heisman winners make an impact at the professional level.
You heard it here first, it will be the Broncos taking a Super Bowl win with another fourth quarter comeback in the final game. Expect one more Tebow prayer, just before he helps his team accept the Lombardi trophy. I hope the world is watching.
