    ludicrous. That's not how it works. Brady and the Patriots are the ones that get a disproportionate amount of calls in their favor.

    No.

    The NFL does not need Tebow in the Super Bowl. The ratings are sort of decent no matter who is playing.

    You actually think the NFL assists teams they'd prefer to win?

    I just laugh every time fans say the refs leaned against their team.

    You think last Sunday's game was the most watched television show since last year's SB because of Big Ben and the Steelers, orJohn Fox, or the Denver D?

    Lets face it, Tebow is a huge draw. That said, they got their miracle win last week. NE will bring them back to earth just like they did last time around...

    ...And no, it is nothing like the Jets last year. Te Jets had a multifaceted defense, and could do enough different stuff on offense. This Bronco team is only playing this week due to Steelers coaches arrogance and a lack of healthy bodies.

    I'm not so sure, CJ. The Patriots just seem like the weakest 13 win team I've seen since at least, I don't know, maybe last season? Yeah, they ought to win, but a team that smacks them in the mouth from the first play might just get by them. I think Denver has that kind of team.

    Yeah an 8-8 that backed into a WC spot. I would not count on it.
    BB wrote the book on beating Denver, he's also had 2 weeks to prepare and get key players healthy. No excuses.
    Tebow Time is over!

    C'mon man.

    I correctly predicted the Steelers-Broncos game would be the late Sunday game (the #1 spot on Wild Card weekend) because of Tim Tebow.

    But does the league need Tim Tebow in the Super Bowl? Absolutely not. A regular season game and even a conference playoff game? Sure, Tebow would help ratings. Super Bowl? No way.

    the "two weeks to prepare" no longer holds weight when it comes to the patriots. Like I said before, you Pat fans are getting a bit too comfortable again.

    This is Football. This is Foxboro. Nobody said it was going to be fair.

    Plus, all the ad time is already sold out. And for record prices. Doesn't matter whether Tebow is in the game or not.

    God is eating dinner alone. Aaron Rodgers approaches the table and God asks "What do you believe?" Rodgers says, "I believe in hard work, and in staying true to family and friends." God can't help but see the goodness of Rodgers and offers him a seat to his left. Tim Tebow walks up and God says, "What do you believe?" Tebow says, "I believe in your total goodness, love and generosity and that you have given all to mankind." God is greatly moved by Tebow’s eloquence, and offers him a seat to his right. Finally, God turns to Tom Brady: "And you, Tom, what do you believe?" Tom replies, "I believe you're in my seat."

    I don't care about the Tebow factor.
    I just want the Patriots to lose.
    I NE was playing the Edmonton Eskimos, I'd root for the Eskimos.

    GO BRONCOS !!!

    tebow should play iron man football and come on as an OLB, and get 50 sacks.

    Tony Siragusa says "defense wins championships." I feel well informed now.

    Wow. That was a hit. Pierre Thomas will be on queer street for a few.
