    did Tebow blow a 24 point second half lead?

    Exactly. Tim Tebow is better than Peyton Manning.

    and Eli is better than Brady ::)

    Getting beat by Brady is not a measuring stick

    I was impressed by the scrolling experience.

    Yeah count me in the WTF camp. I hung with that story longer than I usually hang with the story, and all I was finding was a recap of what we already know, with no special retrospective insight on any of it.

    There might be a good story there in Chapters IV through VII, but I'll never know it.

    It's great for the ADHD generation.
    I thought the Brotherhood of the Long-form was supposed to be about the literary medium.
    This showed every picture but the big-mammaried woman posted on the board so often.
    Decide what you want to be.

    The real measuring stick is this: The final week of that 2011 season, the Broncos lost to the Chiefs 7-3.

    Tebow stunk it up that game. There's no other way to put it.

    And it was a low-scoring game, so in theory, it should have favored Tebow... except he couldn't even get the Broncos down field for just one more drive for a touchdown.

    I've always defended Tebow regarding the Pittsburgh game. Steeler injuries and stat lines be damned -- Tebow played the best game he ever played.

    But, at the same time, the KC game was terrible and Tebow was the biggest reason why. No other way to put it.

    And, honestly, the KC game was a far bigger example of Tebow's problems than the Patriots game.

    Also, for something written by a pastor's son, it didn't provide much insight into theology.
    Not hating, just constructive criticism.

    The issue of why SI would bother to write about him at this point interests me. Getting into a discussion about that is one thing. Bothering to read about him is another. But you knew that. You just hoped you could manufacture a gotcha moment where one does not exist.

    I appreciate Deadspin having read that story so I didn't have to.
