    Dick's original response (so YG's makes sense): "I love this."

    As you are never one to let a minor error slide around these parts, it was actually, "I love it."

    I don't get it.

    Thanks for the clarification. Next time leave it up for a couple more seconds and I won't make the same mistake. :)

    Obviously I haven't seen it then.

    What time does "Masterpiece Theater" start?

    Oh, snap: Pwned.

    Revision is the most important step of the writing process.

    If you would like to discuss my religious reasoning with me via PM I would be glad to do so. Anyone with whom I've had this discussion no longer questions my reasoning, even if they disagree with it.

    As for the football aspect of His Lordness, if he were to sustain (the word of the week) a YPC of 15, he would rank ninth all-time. No QB who has debuted since 1990 has come within even two yards of a 15.0 YPC (the immortal Craig Erickson came closest at 12.9).

    The Tebow worship has gotten so out of hand that even the unprecedented is being taken as his base level.

    He is a second-year quarterback and first-time starter whose team has gone 8-4 (after a 1-4 start) and won a playoff game. He played a major role in five comebacks, then threw the winning touchdown pass in overtime last week. He has struggled, mightily at times, but more often than not he has avoided mistakes that doom his team. If that's the description of a quarterback we've never heard of, we'd think that was a pretty good base to start a career.

    He will never be a West Coast quarterback who stands in the pocket and completes 65 percent of his passes for 8 yards a pop, but he adds dimensions that defenses aren't used to and can't quite get a handle on.

    I don't care about your religion obsession. It says nothing about Tebow and plenty about you. I put zero stock in the God storyline either way, other than being tickled by the Tebowing phenomenon, but religious differences prevent you from looking at what the guy actually can do. That's as insane as being a Tebow fan because he's a Bible-thumper.

    I just looked at what the guy can actually do. I'm sorry it didn't fit in with your pre-conceived notions of the correct way to evaluate Tebow, and that therefore you don't think much of me.

    Kelly Holcomb threw for 429 yards in a playoff game. You could say getting the reboot Browns that far was an act of providence.

    He was mustered out of the league a few years later.
