Tebow 3:16
I know this is an odd thing to be the subject of my first post in I-know-not-how-long, but... how'd a guy who isn't even that good a player get super-famous for stopping to pray at apparently random moments?
I mean, it's hardly the best endorsement for God if a mediocre player is the one doing all the spontaneous stop-and-pray moments. Because evidently, it's not doing him any good! If your team's playoff bid ends in getting mutilated 45-10, the heavens were not aiding you. (For those unfamiliar with American football: getting beaten 45-10 isn't just losing, it's getting annihilated. Remember in one of the Indiana Jones movies, when that guy does all these fancy knife moves in the air to show how awesome he is, then Indy just shoots him? 45-10 is losing like that guy. And losing this one means their season's over.)
