I hope the Tebow phenomenon goes away so I have a chance to catch BYH

Herbert Anchovy said: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.
heyabbott said:Maybe this is why Tebow is so well regarded by the average/casual fan and is a pop culture icon. This seems to be emblematic of Tebow's career, not an isolated incident. Do many players do this on a regular basis, but under or unpublicized?

Bailey Knaub, 16, was mobbed by her teachers and students when she returned to Thompson Valley High School in Loveland after meeting Tim Tebow on Sunday.
"They wanted to know the whole story from beginning to end," Bailey said Monday, also noting that she received 42 new Facebook "friend" requests. "They were so jealous."
Tebow mentioned Bailey, a junior, during his postgame remarks Sunday night, saying the big overtime win against the Pittsburgh Steelers paled in significance when compared to the health struggles she has faced.
Bailey has Wegener's granulomatosis, a rare vascular disorder that has forced her to undergo 73 surgeries in 10 years, the most serious of which was the removal of her left lung in 2010...On Thursday, Bailey learned that her dream of meeting Tebow would come true. Her family received tickets — first level, 30-yard line — to the AFC wild-card playoff game by FedEx, and soon they all were hanging out with Tebow's parents and all of his brothers and sisters.
Then, before the game started, someone said Tim Tebow was headed over to meet Bailey...The years of her illness have been "extremely tough," her father said, so Tebow's kindness to Bailey meant a lot to her family.
"We couldn't believe on the biggest game of his life, he focused all on Bailey," said Kathy Knaub. "He's so genuine and made her feel so special."
