| Tim Tebow |
No wonder then, that here of all the miracles of the currently most prominent American sports world has landed. His name is Tim Tebow, he is officially quarterback of the Denver Broncos. But now he is called "Mile High Messiah", because no other football player has turned in such a short time so many games still lost.
The first staged last miracle Tebow last Sunday. To four and a half minutes before the end of the game the Broncos were 0:10 back against the Chicago Bears - and fully deserved.
But then the unbelievable happened: suddenly Tebow played like a young god, and eight seconds before the final flush Broncos kicker Matt Prater field goal from one of the huge distance of 59 yards to the 10:10 balance. Prater scored again in extra time to completely unexpected victory.
At the last second he turned the thing
And so it goes for weeks. Six games have the Broncos won in a row and now blossomed into promising playoff candidate. Most of the success came about as against Chicago in the last minute and very happy. Statistically, the Broncos are one of the worst teams in the league. Sun ranked their passing game, Tebow is primarily responsible for, ranked 31 of 32 NFL teams. Tebow takes itself in many categories decisive pass the last place one of all NFL quarterbacks, not even the half of his passes find a buyer.
But just before the end, when all seems lost, he just turns the thing. Tebow did against the Bears in the first three quarters only three passes to the man, but in the last quarter of 15 of his 20 attempts were caught by a teammate. "I have no idea why we begin to play football at a reasonable, if we have actually lost the game already," said head coach John Fox then wondered. "I just know that I age so quickly."
As strange as the winning streak that the Fox-known inventors as meticulous explanation must rely on higher powers: "I would like to thank the good Lord." So Fox did not explicitly said his quarterback, but alluded to the fact that Tim Tebow actually an extraordinarily intense relationship with the Almighty cares. Tebow was born in Manila, when his parents were stationed there as missionaries of Baptist sect.
He and his parents see him as a divine miracle
Problems were encountered during pregnancy, the doctors advised his mother an abortion, but she refused on religious grounds. Since then his parents to see their son as a divine miracle. An assessment of 24-year-old who has never attended public school but was taught by his parents at home, now divides.
Tebow sees a sporting success as part of a divine mission, and can hardly missed an opportunity to praise the Almighty. So regularly Tebow kneels down on the field to thank their Creator, that it has become naturalized, the neologism "to tebow".
