Denver coach John Fox claimed he’d have to watch some film and huddle with his coaches before deciding whether Tim Tebow’s(notes) electrifying and near victorious relief performance Sunday will earn him the starting quarterback job for the Broncos’ next game.
The game is in Miami, Oct. 23, after a bye week. And since the Dolphins are currently winless and even in decent times struggle to sell out Sun Life Stadium, the franchise decided this past summer to stage a promotional event. It’s “Gator Day,” an attempt at luring some of the region’s 100,000 University of Florida alums to the game. The centerpiece will be a ceremony that honors UF’s 2009 BCS championship team, a title won in that very stadium by a club quarterbacked by … Tim Tebow.
Some would call that divine intervention. Others a ridiculous and unfortunate coincidence – and why the heck are the Dolphins honoring Florida on the home field of their rival, the University of Miami, anyway?
It’s just one more controversial debate for Tim Tebow to star in.
Be thy Tebow acolyte or accuser, proof of your faith was available Sunday when the Broncos turned their lonely, losing eyes to Tim.
It ended with Tebow failing to find someone on a semi-Hail Mary bid and a would-be second-half comeback became a 29-24 San Diego Chargers victory. The game will be best remembered for what almost was, courtesy of the most debated talent in the league.
