I was actually sittin' in Denny's on the laptop, wi-fied in, thinking of something to write about. Suddenly, the Spirit drop into my mind, Tim Tebow.
So here I am, tebowing, like the rest of humanity. He's the most popular man on the planet, or at least it seems. The epitome of infamy, the neo-muhammad ali, if you will. Except He claims Christ, of course.
So, exactly who is Tim Tebow? Well....Hmph...Lets see...

Tim Tebow's riveting and tumultuous season ended Jan. 14, with the New England Patriots hammering the Denver Broncos 45-10 in an AFC divisional playoff game.
"A lot of ups and downs," Tebow said about his second NFL season after the loss in Foxborough, Mass. "Overall, it's been a very special opportunity for me, something I'm really thankful for. There's a lot of things we're proud of. Obviously, it's hard to see them all right now," Tebow was quoted as saying.

He'll be on the field for every game, right in the middle of the action, but he won't throw a pitch or take a swing.
Ted Barrett feels the pressure nonetheless. He knows the stakes are high when the World Series starts tonight between the Texas Rangers and the St. Louis Cardinals. But while the players will all be doing their utmost to leave their mark on the Fall Classic, Barrett and five other guys hope that nobody even knows they are there.
