For those of you who don't remember former Habs/Blackhawks/other goaltender Jocelyn Thibault, his last name is pronounced identically to a certain Denver quarterback's. So it was just a matter of time before Thibaulting swept the continent. (Or, as sender-inner Noah says, "maybe just Canadian beer-league hockey.") More »

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.

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.

Here is a story about Clayton Kershaw. He is a good pitcher, and he likes Jesus, but beyond that he doesn't have much in common with Tim Tebow. In fact, he's nothing like Tim Tebow. They play different sports and haven't met. Still: Tebow in the headline! Tebow everywhere. What do you have to say about Tebow, Clayton? That's fascinating. Here are some more questions about Tebow. Please answer them for us. OhbythewayhowaboutheDodgersthisyear? Never mind: what do you think of Tebow? More »

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 »

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 »

Maybe I'm missing the story. Maybe the story is that Heather Cox worked Tim Tebow, LeBron James, and Rick Ross into a single sentence. While previous ESPN on-air rap recitations have gone pretty smoothly, this instance (during last night's Heat-Nuggets battle) felt...wrong. [ESPN] More »

It goes like this: "in the Tennessee Valley, a Madison pizzeria is going out of the norm to create pizzas in the likeness of football icons." There is little need for further explanation, really. Somewhere in Alabama, pizzeria shop owner "Famous" Joe Carlucci and a high school student have pushed the boundaries of pizza making to its limit with their (secret!) cheese-face-picture method, that's all.

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 »

Tim Tebow" alt="Cam Newton > Tim Tebow" width="960" height="540" />On the McLaughlin Group on Sunday, the panelists were giving out year-end political awards, and Rich Lowry, the guy from the National Review last seen wiping starbursts off his khakis, gave one to Tim Tebow, for being the most exciting thing in American sports right now, or some such thing. It wasn't the first time in the last few weeks that the right wing had referenced Tebow (see Rick Perry), but it was the most effortlessly irritating instance. Tebow isn't the NFL's most exciting player. He's not even the league's most exciting first-year starter. There's another run-happy national-championship-winning quarterback who arrived on the professional scene this year, a guy whom Football Outsiders today called "a young Peyton Manning and a rookie Herschel Walker all rolled into one." It's not Tim Tebow—it's Cam Newton, and he, not Tebow, deserves to have pundits yammering about him on Sunday morning television. More »

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 »
