Katy Perry Seems To Want Tim Tebow's "Peacock"

Dom Cosentino — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 11:35:17 EST

The temptation of Timmy continues: It's been rumored for weeks that the minister parents of the newly single, girl-kissing Ms. Perry would like to set their daughter up with the wholesome Mr. Tebow. And this weekend, Perry did her part to play along. First, while presenting an award during Saturday night's NFL Honors show, she looked at Tebow, who was seated in the front row, and said, "Hey, Tim, my parents say, 'Hi.'" Then, during a pre-Super Bowl party performance later that night, she Tebowed and was even said to have dedicated the song "Peacock" to him. And last night, her suite for the game was reportedly right next to Tebow's. None of the reports indicate Tebow responded in kind. Then again, he does plan to save his cherry chapstick for marriage.

Tim Tebow Stayed At A Vegas Hotel During A Porn Awards Extravaganza

Dom Cosentino — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 11:45:00 EST

He was reportedly in town for one day for a photo shoot and spent a lot of time in his room, though he and a few friends did go to Cirque du Soleil, where they snacked on popcorn and water. Be honest: Were you really expecting photos of him with starlets from the Adult Video News Awards? [LVRJ, h/t to Brett] More »

Tim Tebow Played Injured. Get Used To It.

Barry Petchesky — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 10:40:00 EST

On a play early in the second half, Tebow was hit just after releasing a pass. He suffered torn rib cartilage, a bruised lung, and fluid buildup in his chest. It must have been excruciating—he had an MRI Monday after he couldn't sleep through the pain—but he showed no outward signs of being injured, and completed the game against New England. There are two ways to look at this, and to deal with it going forward: More »

Man Agrees To Drink An Entire Bottle Of Tabasco If Tebow Loses To The Patriots, Pukes

Sean Newell — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 11:45:00 EST

Amateur cinematography aside, this is an oddly compelling watch. Textbook storytelling, actually. The tension slowly builds—A hero's quest, will he actually do it? I don't think he's going to do it—rising action—he's getting ready, he may actually do it— climax—oh my god he did it!—and then, denouement. More »

Tom Brady's Punt Finally Brought Some Life To The Broncos Defense, If By Life You Mean Punches

Timothy Burke — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 23:36:43 EST

Blame Von Miller for this dirty hit that is an unfortunate coda to his otherwise spectacular season. But quick kicks always tend to result in some kind of craziness; like turnovers, they put players outside their comfort zone. In this case, it was reason for Miller to go on an assault mission, though in the end it looks like he took more than he dished out. [CBS] More »

ESPN Broke Its Own Record By Making 160 Tim Tebow References In One Hour Of SportsCenter. Here Are All Of Them.

The last time ESPN tried the stunt of dedicating an entire hour of SportsCenter to Tim Tebow, they managed a paltry 88 mentions of his name. The WWL went above and beyond in its 11 a.m. Eastern show, nearly doubling the instances in which they aired the Denver quarterback's name. For 48 minutes of programming, that works out to one "Tebow" every 18 seconds. More »

With New OT Rules, Demaryius Thomas Didn't Realize The Game Was Over

Barry Petchesky — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 16:00:18 EST

So, this new playoff overtime. It's more fair, but it's also confusing. This is because hypotheticals are confusing, and I would rather have Phil Simms orgasm an explanation after the fact than have to keep in mind multiple scenarios while the game is still going on. The new, non-sudden death OT can end with a sudden death score, and both teams get a possession unless they don't. Got it? Demaryius Thomas wasn't completely clear on the concept, even after hoofing it 80 yards for the game-ending score. More »

Steelers Safety Ryan Clark Won't Play In Denver On Sunday Because It Might Kill Him

Dom Cosentino — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 16:20:00 EST

Ryan Clark, Pittsburgh's veteran starting safety without all the long hair, has the sickle-cell trait. It's a condition that impacts his blood when he exerts himself in the high altitude. Clark lost 30 pounds and nearly died when the Steelers played at Denver in 2007, after which doctors had to remove his spleen and gall bladder, which caused him to miss the final 10 games of the regular season, plus a playoff loss. Clark has missed a total of just four games since, including the postseason. More »

How To Avoid Counterfeit Tebowing: A Visual Guide

Timothy Burke — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 18:30:00 EST

If not for planking, Tebowing would go down in history as this generation's silliest physical obsession, joining past actions like the Charleston, the Macarena, and streaking. Despite the fad's (now waning) popularity, there still appears to be some confusion as to the proper technique or how to recognize Tebowing when it's seen. So here's a handy guide so as to avoid future embarrassment. More »

Elvis Dumervil Made Tom Brady Fear For His Life

Timothy Burke — Sun, 18 Dec 2011 21:00:02 EST

Sure, the Patriots throttled the Broncos 41-23. But New England's victory didn't come at the expense of a little of Tom Brady's machismo, as the horrified look in his eyes upon this sack by Elvis Dumervil was more apropos for someone who wears Uggs. Which, I guess, means it's apropos—period. More »

Revelations From Tim Tebow's Mic'd Up Sunday

Barry Petchesky — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 17:50:00 EST

If it's true that nobody actually KNOWS Tim Tebow, it's also true that we see in him whatever we want to see. That holds for his public appearances, his interviews, and his play from a bird's eye television angle. But thanks to NFL Films's Sound FX, we can get a little closer to Tim Tebow, actual NFL quarterback. Tebow wore a mic during Sunday's comeback win over the Bears, and it's an audio ink blot for your own personal Rorschach test. Everyone will take something different, for Tim Tebow contains multitudes. More »

"Tebowing" Is Now An Official English Word, Except It's Probably Not

Barry Petchesky — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 14:45:22 EST

When a person gets very famous, lots of companies want to put themselves in the news alongside that person. Which is why you're seeing a lot of Tim Tebow in unlikely sources these days. Today's entry: something called the Global Language Monitor says that "Tebowing" is now an accepted English word. Defined as "the act of taking a knee in prayer during an athletic contest," Tebowing now takes its place alongside other the perfectly cromulent words in the English language, if a provocative press release is to believed.
