Superman Wears Tim Tebow Pajamas


In honor of both the end of the college football season for this year and Tim Tebow's announced return to Florida next year, I thought an Ode to Tebow was in order. Because we all know I am a big Tebow fan! And, you won't have to listen to me talk about him until next fall, more likely than not. Unless, of course, he single-handedly creates world peace or eliminates global warming or some other such thing, which wouldn't surprise me.

Many of you may have heard a few of the facts about the legend of Tim Tebow that have been circulating as he has become such a football superstar. In case you haven't, I thought I would share a few of my favorites:

TIM TEBOW FACTS:
  • First, the obvious: Superman wears Tim Tebow pajamas.
  • Tim Tebow can get Chick-Fil-A on Sundays.
  • When Tim Tebow was a kid, he made his mom finish his vegetables.
  • Tim Tebow counted to infinity. Twice.
  • When Google can't find something, it asks Tim Tebow for help.
  • What color is Tim Tebow's blood? Trick question. Tim Tebow does not bleed.
  • Tim Tebow is the reason Waldo is hiding.
  • Tim Tebow ordered a Big Mac at Burger King, and got one.
  • Tim Tebow doesn't get sacked. Tim Tebow sacks defensive linemen.
  • Tim Tebow's tears cure cancer. Too bad he has never cried.
  • If it tastes like chicken, looks like chicken, and feels like chicken but Tim Tebow says it's beef, you better believe it's beef.
  • Tim Tebow once won a game of Connect 4 in three moves.
  • When the boogie man goes to sleep, he checks his closet for Tim Tebow.
  • Superman's only weakness is kryptonite. Tim Tebow laughs at Superman for having a weakness.
  • When Batman is in trouble, he turns on the Tim Tebow signal.
  • Tim Tebow knows the EXACT location of Carmen Sandiego.
  • Tim Tebow can divide by zero.
  • Life doesn't give Tim Tebow lemons. Life asks him which fruit he wants.
  • Tim Tebow has the greatest poker face of all time. He won the 1983 World Series of Poker, despite holding only a Joker, a Get Out of Jail Free Monopoly card, a 2 of clubs, 7 of spades, and a green #4 card from the game Uno.
  • Tim Tebow CAN believe it's not butter.
  • Tim Tebow's helmet wears Tim Tebow for protection.
But really, all joking aside, I'm really glad Tebow's coming back for another year. He's such a great asset not only to the Florida Gators but to college football in general. And as I've mentioned before, my favorite thing about Tim Tebow is his faith. Although his athleticism is highly impressive, even more impressive is his recognition that his talent is God-given, and that his status as a college football superstar provides him with a platform to share the Word with the nation. Do you know that usually during this season, he wore the words "Phil. 4:13" on his eye black, and encouraged his teammates to put meaningful messages underneath their eyes as well? True story. However, Tebow switched up his verse to "John 3:16" for the National Championship game, and following the game "John 3:16" was the TOP search term on Google. I thought that was amazing!

Looking forward to another year, Tebow! Go Gators!

Oh, I can only hope my future child should be so lucky as to be the football to Tim Tebow's Heisman pose!
