Denver coach John Fox gets a crushing hug from his quarterback, Tim Tebow.

John Fox and John Elway, Denver’s head coach and VP of football operations, aren’t the biggest Tim Tebow fans.  Despite their quarterback’s winning ways, the two have been less than supportive of a quarterback playing in what amounts to his first full year of NFL action.  Under former head coach Josh McDaniels, Tebow showed some quarterbacking skills, but playing in Fox’s more conservative offense, Tebow struggled.  However, for whatever reason, the more Tebow plays the more Denver wins.  Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos bested the Pittsburgh Steelers 29-23 in last night’s AFC wild card game; Denver will face New England, and Pittsburgh will be going home.

As usual, Tebow wasn’t terribly accurate, completing only 1o of 21 passes, but when he hit a receiver, he did so in open space.  Tebow finished with a career high 316 yards; five of his ten completed passes went for 30 yards or more.  Even after Pittsburgh adjusted to Denver in the second half, dropping Troy Polamalu back into deeper coverage, Denver continued to make big passes.  In the end, it took only 11 seconds for Denver to prove they were the better team yesterday, with Tebow completing an 80-yard touchdown pass to Demaryius Thomas for the win.

Tebow Time will last another week in Denver.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
