The Tim Tebow Saga: The Final Word Much like any other professional athlete that can’t get enough of him or herself, Tim Tebow doesn’t shy away from attention. Much like many of his prima-donna predecessors, he thrusts himself right smack dab in the middle of the spotlight as often as he can. But in Mr. Tebow’s defense, can we really blame him for it? I mean after all, the guy is young, rich, in awesome shape and plays professional football for a living. That resume alone seems to warrant a sense of cockiness and supreme swagger status. Though humility should never be abandoned, some swagger is a must for an NFL quarterback (see “Broadway” Joe…

But everyone knows quality talent can slip through the cracks to the second or third day at the NFL draft. While sometimes a player is the product of the right system, late round gem’s do pass by teams in need, while the hype of first round talent is statistically never as great in hindsight.

The point spread for this up coming NFL playoff weekend is massive, and something I want nothing to do with. Either the oddsmakers are using the same computer that brought us a terrible BCS championship game or someone has been drinking the kool aid. Clearly the Tebow magic can keep things closer than 14

Who: Pittsburgh Steelers and Denver Broncos What: AFC Wildcard When: Sunday January 8th, 4:30 p.m. Eastern (televised on CBS) Line: Pittsburgh by 8, over/under 33.5 Perhaps the most surprising and intriguing match-up in the 2011 NFL playoffs is this AFC Wildcard battle between the 11-5 Pittsburgh Steelers and the upstart, AFC West champion Denver Broncos. Most pontificators expected the Steelers to be here. They are the defending AFC champions and have a rich and storied history of successfully reaching the post-season and winning once there. It’s the Broncos that are the big surprise here. Heading into the season, few expected anything from a 4-12 club that had a brand new head coach. But led…
