00:00Here I go.
00:14Man, there is something about you can't turn away.
00:17You cannot, and you know, it's not just football fans either,
00:20because other people, you know, hey, what is that?
00:21And all of a sudden, the whole country's like,
00:23this guy's just phenomenal.
00:24You almost want to yell, hallelujah.
00:34I got a feeling it's going to be kind of an interesting show.
00:37Let's go.
00:38Come on.
00:41Look at the halls.
00:44And I see Terry Bradshaw, Ray Nitschkin, Dick Butt.
00:51You know, the greats of all time.
00:53And I got to step in here, and we got to talk.
00:5545 minutes about Tim Tebow.
00:57You serious?
00:58Ha!
01:01Why?
01:02Why?
01:06It's just senseless.
01:08Go ahead and explain this one.
01:11Really?
01:12Tim Tebow, who's not even one of the top 50 Denver Broncos of all time,
01:18gets his own show.
01:20Then face me at the show.
01:22Fine.
01:22David Carr, where's your top 10?
01:25Brady Quinn will do a top 10 for you.
01:29Why are you serious showing the Caleb Haney?
01:31Yeah.
01:32Yeah.
01:32I'd watch that.
01:33Tom Brady, wait.
01:34He's only gone to five Super Bowls.
01:37Where's his top 10?
01:38Listen.
01:38They call it Tebow Mania.
01:40They don't call it Brady Mania.
01:42Good things have you.
01:45We'll be very upfront about why we're doing the show.
01:49Everybody wants to capitalize on his team.
01:52I think it'll get good ratings.
01:54Just I think this is for the same reason Bristol Palin stayed on Dancing with Stars for a long time.
02:00I think it's a great idea.
02:02I think it's a great idea.
02:02He is so, what sort of, swell, corny, hot, dreamy, forgiving, amazing, polarizing, polarizing, polarizing, polarizing, polarizing, polarizing.
02:17And, have people love him, have people don't like him.
02:20I'm a believer of a Tebow hater.
02:24I like him, Tebow.
02:25He's great for the league.
02:26Tebow, he's great for the league.
02:31It's like scratching a blackboard.
02:34Talking about Tebow.
02:35We'll be doing much more than just talking.
02:39There will also be singing.
02:43Tebow's fire.
02:46Of course, we can't leave out Tebow.
02:49And, as with every other top ten, there will be plenty of pontificating.
02:55Sadly, if I talk to a show like this, then I come in to yak about him like an idiot.
03:04Hey, just because this show is about him, Tebow, don't think it's going to be like watching him play a
03:10game.
03:10Don't fast forward through the first 56 minutes and expect something really great to happen in the last four.
03:15Let's go!
03:16Come on!
03:18The number ten reason why we love Tim Tebow, he's left-handed.
03:22That's why I like Tim Tebow.
03:24Well, we know he's left-handed.
03:26Number ten, he's left-handed?
03:28Why did this even make the list?
03:30Because I always got a plan.
03:31So he's left-handed.
03:33That's the only thing about him that leans to the left, right?
03:35I don't know about that.
03:36I think a big part of Tebow's popularity is he's different, and left-handers are different.
03:42Tebow being a lefty, really, really enjoyed that.
03:45That's one of my favorite parts of Tim Tebow.
03:47Is that something to love?
03:49Well, it's just a fact.
03:49He's left-handed.
03:50You have to put left-handed on the list, because without that left hand, I mean, half of Tebow's airtime
03:56suddenly disappears.
03:58If lefty is great, why isn't Tyler Palko having the things we love about Palko list?
04:02But Palko makes a brutal mistake.
04:05Are you serious?
04:07Didn't they say that left-handedness is once the sign of the devil?
04:11True, the Bible has many references to the left hand being evil, but here's a less sinister take.
04:18My line on Tebow is, everyone knows that Jesus sits at the right hand of the Father.
04:23And do you think it's any coincidence that the Father made Tebow left-handed?
04:27No, let's not push it.
04:28I'm willing to go a certain distance, but I'm not going that he's at the left-handed God.
04:34Not this week.
04:36You pull that left hand out, it just changes everything.
04:39People look at you differently.
04:41You know, it throws people off.
04:44People think, you know, it is a feud.
04:46What's going on? What's going on?
04:49To a right-handed lineman, a left-handed quarterback is completely bass-ackwards.
04:54I'm just on right.
04:55No, no, no, no, no, no.
04:56To his left, he's left.
04:57Left-handed.
04:58All right.
04:59Biggs are in the right.
05:00Biggs are in the right.
05:00It's an ugly ball already, and then it's spinning left.
05:03That just kind of exacerbates the problem.
05:07He's left-handed.
05:08That's why he doesn't always throw it to the right team.
05:11Tebow overthrew him, and Justin Rodgers for the interception.
05:15He only threw nine interceptions in his career.
05:21I think Tebow might be right-handed, and he just doesn't know it, just based on the way
05:25he throws the football.
05:26It's that long wind-up that people said would get him in trouble.
05:30Yeah, that Tim Tebow, I mean, I think he probably taught himself to be left-handed, right?
05:34He was going to be right-handed one day, and he said, no, no, no, no.
05:37If he decided it was too easy for him, he was going to throw left-handed then.
05:42Up next, Tim Tebow.
05:45Never mind, reason why we love Tim Tebow.
05:47The big drama in the big app.
05:51I think this is deliciously Jets.
05:54Let's go eat a damn snack.
05:57I mean, this entire situation, only the Jets could concom.
06:00The Jets like crazy things.
06:03No team brings on as much attention as they do.
06:07They like things that are going to be funny.
06:10And interesting, they're not scared of him.
06:14Welcome to New York, Tim Tebow.
06:17You got to realize this.
06:19It's a new animal.
06:21It's a different breed of animal.
06:22New York City is a different breed of animal.
06:25You have never seen this animal in your life, Tim Tebow.
06:28I'm so excited about being a Jets.
06:31Hey, hey, hey, hey.
06:31You're no stranger to big stages.
06:33I mean, he's...
06:36Who cares?
06:38Thank y'all for coming.
06:39Tim Tebow in New York, it will be as close to the edge of madness as one can imagine.
06:45Now you've got the quarterback controversy.
06:47Mark Sanchez.
06:48Tim Tebow.
06:49Who do you vote with?
06:50Well, I think we've seen the ceiling of Mark Sanchez.
06:53I think what we've seen from him is what he is.
06:56Rex Ryan saw Tim Tebow beat him.
06:59Are you kidding?
07:01Tim Tebow, Denver touchdown.
07:04Go ahead and explain just...
07:06Tony Sperano in Miami adopted the Wildcat.
07:10The triple option comes to the NFL.
07:12Whatever it takes.
07:14And the way Rex Ryan wants to win games.
07:17Here we go.
07:17Ground and pound.
07:19Got it?
07:19Ground and pound.
07:21Pound the rock.
07:22Play defense.
07:23It almost seems to me this team might be better with Tebow at quarterback.
07:28They might have been.
07:29With two big-name quarterbacks in the nation's number one media market, the Sanchez-Tebow
07:34debate isn't going away anytime soon.
07:37New Yorkers won't let it.
07:39Well, I was walking the streets the other day.
07:41One of the steakhouses named one of their Tebow steaks after him.
07:45And I'm like, Sanchez doesn't have a steak named after him in New York.
07:48Mr. President, you think Tebow's going to get it done in New York?
07:51Tim Tebow seems to be a wonderful young man.
07:53He really steps up when things count.
07:55Yeah, there's going to be a lot of tension in that situation, so we'll see how it plays
07:59itself out.
08:00I was at a game where they booed Derek Jeter.
08:03The New York fans booed Derek Jeter.
08:05So, yeah, I think they're totally going to be supportive of Tebow if he throws a few
08:09interceptions.
08:10I think Tebow was trying to throw that ball away.
08:16In the end, how will this Broadway drama unfold?
08:20Where Asi Sanchez...
08:21He's only had two games with most winners.
08:24That all of a sudden happened.
08:27Like, be a rinked struggle.
08:30The fans are going to call for Tebow.
08:32He's going to have some Tebow time magic.
08:34I can see Tebow taking over from this guy.
08:37He's going to bring people together to hate Tim Tebow and Mark Sanchez.
08:42Nobody's going to know who to hate more, I feel.
08:44Only the Jets could create this.
08:47Only the Jets could create this.
08:49Want to smoke clears?
08:50Right?
08:51You're going to wish you could take a sample of both these guys' DNA and make it one quarterback.
08:57Tim Sanchez.
08:59Tim Sanchez.
09:01Tim Sanchez.
09:03All one word.
09:04You know what I mean?
09:05For the number eight reason why we love Tim Tebow, the read option.
09:11Tim Tebow does what Tim Tebow does.
09:13Tebow throws.
09:14Tebow can run.
09:15Tim Tebow touchdown.
09:17There is a method to this man.
09:19Tebow's tricks came courtesy of an offense known as the read option.
09:24Read option offense is about simple math.
09:28Ordinarily in the NFL running game, it's 10 out of 11.
09:31Most quarterbacks you don't have to account for in a running game.
09:34But with Tim back there, obviously you do.
09:38I'll tell you who does not love the read option offense is anybody associated with football
09:44today whose job depends on success.
09:46Over the years, several NFL teams have flirted with various forms of the option.
09:51One to the rise.
09:52Oh, yes.
09:53To the end zone.
09:54Touchdown.
09:55But since the advent of the T formation, Tim Tebow is the first quarterback who's run
10:01the option as his bread and butter play and succeeded.
10:04The 2011 Broncos reached the playoffs for the first time since 2005.
10:10During that six-game winning streak, it was awesome to watch.
10:13Tebow's going to fight himself into the end zone.
10:14Denver touchdown.
10:15Somehow it works.
10:17Tebow looks and it throws.
10:21It's like one of those Chinese finger trap things, right?
10:23You put your fingers in it and you're like, how come I can't get my fingers out?
10:26That's Tim Tebow.
10:26Like, how does this thing work?
10:28It's tough to get the players to understand both things.
10:32Being able to stop him as a runner and then also defending against his ability to complete
10:37some passes.
10:38Tim takes throws to Decker in the end zone and Decker's got a Denver touchdown.
10:45There are those that love the read option offense.
10:49For a long time, there was, in the NFL, there was this idea that you never, ever wanted your
10:54quarterback to get hit.
10:55And now, these quarterbacks like Tebow, they're so big and so strong, they're your most powerful
11:00runners you got.
11:02Tebow keeps it.
11:03He's in trouble.
11:04He breaks the tackle.
11:06Tebow's inside the five.
11:07Tebow's for the goal line.
11:08Touchdown.
11:09Because of what he does and how he helps the running game, he makes the offense work.
11:13You know, they stay on schedule.
11:15There's no third and 31s, third and 17s.
11:19And that way they can stay in games.
11:20I'll be honest, you get tired of tackling them.
11:22I mean, that's a big man.
11:27Yeah, he's hurting more than I am.
11:31In Tim Tebow's version of the read option, he has two choices.
11:35He can either run with the ball.
11:37Tebow's inside the five.
11:38Tebow's to the goal line.
11:40And Dipper with the touchdown.
11:42Or throw an interception.
11:44Tim sets, throws, pass.
11:46It's going to be intercepted.
11:47And then run after the ball.
11:49Houston being chased by Tebow.
11:51Tebow will not get it.
11:52Even with Tebow's success, others aren't sold on the read option.
11:57The NFL is no place to be running your quarterback, who is so important, past the line of scrimmage
12:03more than a couple of times a game.
12:05He's going to get killed.
12:06I think it's something you can throw in every now and again to keep the defenses off guard.
12:11Tebow is at the five.
12:12Tebow's got a Denver touchdown.
12:14It's not something you can do consistently because defensive coordinators and head coaches
12:19are sophisticated and smart enough to figure things out as we saw in the playoffs last year.
12:24My problem with Tebow is that he fumbled way too much.
12:3013 in an 11 game span.
12:34We will no longer see the smoking mirror option offense in this league.
12:39They say long term it won't work in the NFL.
12:41Well, all I know is it has worked until this point, and we'll see what happens going forward.
12:47Tebow's going to find himself into the end zone, and Tebow has a touchdown.
12:51Coming up, what does Tim Tebow have in common with these wannabe NFL quarterbacks?
12:57And our second reason why he loves Tim Tebow.
13:00He's a throwback.
13:02Yes, sir.
13:04Oh, cow.
13:06Too many quarterbacks in this league are soft.
13:09Too many quarterbacks are looking for the flag.
13:11Too many quarterbacks are looking to be protected by the referees.
13:14Postal foul.
13:16Welcome to passer.
13:17I like Tim Tebow because he's different.
13:21Because he's a throwback.
13:28He was tough.
13:30He's tough.
13:31Fifty years ago, Tim Tebow doesn't care about being protected one-eyed over.
13:36Good play, man.
13:38It's one of the great lessons that you learn in football.
13:40You know, that courage to keep fighting.
13:41You know, when you're down, when you get knocked down over and over again,
13:44are you going to keep getting up?
13:45It used to be more of a physical game on offense,
13:49where it was, you know, three yards and a cloud of dust.
13:52I think Tim Tebow could have played quarterback for Vince Lombardi
13:55and George Hallis and the Monsters of Midway.
13:58No, I don't buy that.
13:59I don't know what he means by that.
14:01Because a quarterback runs the ball, I'm not sure that makes him a throwback.
14:07We love the simplicity of Tim Tebow as a quarterback
14:10and how it harkens back to a time when passing was thought to be just a fad.
14:15He reminds you of days when you played option football in the NFL, like the 30s.
14:19There he is once again, against the Tim Tebow, keeping it on the option, and a Denver first down.
14:26He's like Joe Capp.
14:27I mean, he'll run through you as happily as he would run around you.
14:32Joe Capp didn't throw a pretty ball either.
14:34Oh, yeah.
14:35Bobby Douglas, couldn't pass, but ran a lot.
14:37I thought Bobby Douglas was a career guy.
14:39Not very well.
14:40Bobby Douglas was a baller.
14:48I think throwback is kind of like a backhanded compliment.
14:51Like, hmm, he doesn't look so talented, does he?
14:54Unless it's a jersey, the throwback's not good.
14:57Throwback is like one of these terms, like blue collar or moxie.
15:01We're really, we're saying we don't know anything about the guy.
15:04We don't know what we're talking about.
15:05We just want to like him.
15:07Tebow, Tebow, Tebow.
15:09There once was a time when 50% was a real good passing completion in the NFL.
15:15Oh, and 50% would be really good for Tim Tebow, too.
15:27I think the throwback thing is a little bit comes hand in hand with the fact that he's such a
15:32hard worker and a good person.
15:33What's up, my man? How you doing?
15:35Yeah, you having fun?
15:37Even though all the players of the 50s and 60s were not all good people and they were not all
15:41hard workers,
15:42but we like to think of them as such, and so people think of Tebow as a throwback.
15:47They're a great competitor. I think they're a great competitor.
15:50Let numbers increase in why we love Tim Tebow.
15:53He makes it look hard.
15:55Things to love about Tim Tebow, and he makes it look so hard.
15:59It is hard.
16:01Tebow makes it look hard because for Tebow, it is hard.
16:05And yet, somehow, he makes it work.
16:08And the Broncos, in improbable fashion, have beaten the New York Jetsons.
16:14It's like watching, back in the day, Arnold Palmer trying to play golf.
16:18His form was lousy.
16:20He practically fell down sometimes when he swung, but had spectacular results.
16:24Tebow, quarterback draw.
16:26Tebow's going to be in the end zone.
16:28If I hadn't seen this myself, I really would not believe it.
16:34He makes it look hard. It's good. It's gritty. It's different.
16:38The guys who make it look easy, you never can appreciate them.
16:41Well, we do get excellence fatigue when we watch these great athletes over and over.
16:45They make it look so easy that when a guy completes a pass, we don't get excited about it.
16:51We expect it.
16:52And then when a guy throws an incompletion, we get angry about it.
16:55That doesn't happen with Tebow.
16:57Everything looks like an accomplishment.
16:58I love this argument that Tim Tebow's fun to watch because he makes it look hard.
17:03I hate watching the guys like, I don't know, Brady and Manning and Drew Brees and before that, Montana and
17:09Elwijk.
17:09It's really not all that interesting.
17:11Give me the guy who's going to go one for a hundred passing.
17:15We haven't had incompletions, so an incompletion would be a good complation at this point.
17:18But that one pass at the end of the game, boy, was that spectacular.
17:227.06 to go in the game.
17:25Throws. Pass is going to be to Eric Decker.
17:27Decker's there!
17:27Eric Decker to the end zone!
17:30Touchdown!
17:31Tebow had played so poorly that the commentator didn't have any excitement until Decker caught that pass.
17:39He was 2 of 8 for that game.
17:43One of those two was a touchdown.
17:46Now Decker, 57 yards!
17:48The second completion of the game!
17:52This crowd is stunned.
17:53Frankly, so am I.
18:01Just what part of Tebow's game is the hardest to watch?
18:04I'm just amazed at this point in his career that he throws as many ducks as he throws.
18:10Oh, boy.
18:11It's underneath it.
18:12It's him trying to throw the out route to Eric Decker, and the ball just floated wildly behind him.
18:18It's like an outfielder throwing it from the warning tracks, trying to get it all the way to home without
18:22a bounce.
18:22Every time he throws, he throws ultra hard.
18:25He was a pitcher and an outfielder in baseball, and that's why he throws the way he does.
18:29But if he would have been a catcher, he would have had that ball up to his ear hole, which
18:33would have been perfect.
18:34Phil Mickelson just popped in my head another left hand who people like watching, whether he's just flailing and going
18:41down in flames, or whether he's, you know, eagling three of the last five holes.
18:47Tebow kind of has that effect.
18:48Like you say, people want to watch him, good or bad.
18:52Coming up, which of these fads can Tim Tebow take credit for creating?
18:59I just, Tebow get credit for everything.
19:02The everlasting question about Tebow.
19:05Welcome.
19:08You can identify with him more because this is how I throw football.
19:13And I, the number of Tebow.
19:16Yeah.
19:21Tebow goes down and hits that, hits that pose on you.
19:25You know, he can chill.
19:26I think it chills up your spine.
19:31Tebowing is a worldwide phenomenon.
19:32How could that not be on the list?
19:34Phenomenon that is Tebowing is, it's like nothing we've ever seen in football.
19:39It's cool.
19:40I mean, it's in.
19:41I mean, everybody's doing it.
19:46This is for all my Denver people.
19:48Have you heard about this new social media phenomenon called Tebowing?
19:52The art of Tebowing has swept the nation.
19:55I mean, I have to admit, the Tebowing thing, the craze that took over was pretty cool, pretty imaginative.
20:00What's your reaction to the Tebowing craze that's lighting up Twitter right now?
20:04The praying thing?
20:06Um, you know, I think it's pretty cool.
20:09It's only going to get bigger guys now that Tebow has endorsed it.
20:24I believe that there are human beings who have knelt to pray for many, many thousands of years.
20:30I'm not sure it's totally original, I'm not taking anything away from Tim, but, uh, whatever you call it, I've
20:36taken a knee many times in my football career, so.
20:40Here's the lineage.
20:41Tebow stole the pose from us, and we stole it from Rodan.
20:44Rodan's thinker.
20:45Yeah.
20:46And I'm glad you had to explain that it was the thinker that it was.
20:50It's the NFL network.
20:50It is.
20:52It wasn't an original pose, but it's one that took off because it is part of his identity.
20:59In fact, it might be the biggest part of his identity.
21:02Tim was doing this when he was in high school.
21:04Tim has never done this to be his show.
21:08So if Tim won't take credit for Tebowing, who is responsible for this going viral?
21:15You can, you know, thank me or punch me in the face for the viral sensation that is Tebowing.
21:22We have about 2,500 or 3,000 pictures that have been posted up on the site, and we have,
21:27I think, 21,000 in queue.
21:30So I think we can spend the next 57 years putting one picture a day, and we'll be okay.
21:46I think my favorite is probably the Beatles Tebowing picture.
21:52When he retweeted the one in the cancer patient of the kid, that was really cute.
21:59Now we've got guys, you know, at the Great Wall of China or outside the Eiffel Tower, Tebowing.
22:06This has to stop.
22:07We need, like, a Tebowing intervention.
22:10Ha.
22:12Tebowing comes in at number 5 on our list because of his dedication to the craft.
22:17He doesn't have the same motion throwing the ball, but when he Tebowes, he pretty much has it down to
22:23a science.
22:23What's interesting is after a 10-yard loss, he doesn't Tebow.
22:26He can go, thank you, God, for teaching me humility.
22:29That may happen one day, but here's a Tebowing dream that may never come true.
22:36Obama on one side and Mitt Romney on the other side, both Tebowing.
22:40You know, that could be really cool.
22:42You know, it's like America.
22:44Putting sort of our political philosophies aside.
22:47And coming together over some good old-fashioned Tebowing.
22:51Real good.
22:52I would love getting Tebow.
22:54He brings out the best in everyone.
22:56Like that.
23:01He's got Damaris Thomas.
23:02Thomas has a go right through his hand.
23:05And that ball should have been a touchdown.
23:08So, you're good.
23:09I'm a little more full.
23:10Hey.
23:11That's a big deal.
23:12It just makes it closer for a little bit longer, man.
23:15You're about to go catch the game winner.
23:18And then you'll be the hero of the game.
23:21And Tim, there you have a man that is possibly a believer.
23:25Let's believe the whole day, all right, man?
23:27That's what we do.
23:28The whole day.
23:29His team believe in him.
23:30They just believe that he just has that extra thing.
23:33And whatever that is, has obviously worked his magic against all odds.
23:38Hey, just say that.
23:39We're winning the game right here.
23:40Let's go.
23:40Trust me.
23:41Let's go.
23:41Let's go.
23:424-1, ready?
23:43Let's go.
23:44No, that's really hard to describe how he does that.
23:47Because when you're lousy in part of a game, I think your teammates lose faith in you.
23:52For some reason, they don't lose faith in him.
23:54I think people respond to him because he never quits.
23:58There's only one person that carries the ball right here.
24:01He never stops.
24:02He never quits believing that they're going to win the football game.
24:05And when you have that kind of belief, it kind of catches on what everybody else does.
24:11Great job.
24:12Thanks, buddy.
24:12Let's go do this thing.
24:14All right, buddy.
24:19Even though it's an intangible, it seems to be visible.
24:22You can see him try harder than anybody else on the field to win.
24:28I'll tell you where it really rubs off on is on the defensive players.
24:31Go do this thing, all right?
24:32Let's do it.
24:33Friday, man, all right?
24:34I have no idea whether having Tim Tebow as your starting quarterback makes Vaughn Miller
24:38want to rush the pass or more.
24:40Don't give me the defense.
24:41The defense was 31st before Tebow started playing.
24:44All of a sudden, they started playing well after Tebow was a quarterback.
24:48Yep.
24:48Tebow didn't have anything to do with that.
24:50Let's go.
24:50That's the fight I've got to see.
24:53Let's go.
24:54He had something to do with it, but Vaughn Miller being drafted
24:57in 2011 had more to do with it.
25:00All right, baby.
25:03If he brings out the best in anybody, it's his kicker.
25:06I mean, look at Matt Prater.
25:07This will be the tip to 59 yards to tie the game and a tip to 51 yards.
25:12It is good!
25:14And it is over!
25:15I think more often than not, he brings out the best in, like, defensive backs, linebackers,
25:21opposing linemen.
25:22Those guys always seem to have their best games against Tim Tebow.
25:26Tebow mania ends here today.
25:28So I guess, like, afterwards, they send him a nice fruit basket.
25:31Tebow, time's over, baby!
25:36Say what you will about his skills as a player, but you've got to love Tebow's ability to
25:42inspire and lead.
25:43Tim Tebow is one of the top five leaders I've ever seen.
25:48Ever.
25:48Not the top five quarterbacks I've ever seen.
25:51He's a great leader of men.
25:53That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard.
25:57One of the greatest leaders in the history of the NFL.
26:00Let's do a little history lesson.
26:06In the 1920s and 1930s, they had player coaches, guys like George Halas.
26:11These guys called the plays, ran the practices, played offense, played defense, got the team
26:17to the train station and the hotel on time.
26:20Then you flash forward to the 1940s, and you had guys like Sammy Ball, who played quarterback,
26:25played defense.
26:25Oh, and when they weren't playing football, they were busy winning World War II.
26:30He was also a puncher.
26:30Even getting to the present, you have guys like Peyton Manning, who've memorized playbooks
26:34that are the size of phone books.
26:36Go out there, do it year after year after year.
26:41And you're going to put a kid who won a couple of 13 to 10 games on the same list
26:45as those
26:45people?
26:46Absolutely.
26:47It's patently absurd.
26:51Let's go, baby.
26:52Ball out, baby.
26:52Ball out, baby.
26:53I don't know what he does in the huddle.
26:55I'd love to be a fly in the huddle just to hear how he communicates it.
26:58Let's go win this thing, baby.
27:00Let's go win this thing.
27:01But maybe he just exudes this kind of confidence.
27:04They go, okay, this kid's going to get it done.
27:05And that makes everybody else quite better.
27:07Snap.
27:08They make the quarterback draw.
27:09He's troubling.
27:10He'll run to the left side.
27:11Tebow's going to run to the side.
27:12And Denver's got a touchdown.
27:16If you think about it, he's been a winner at every level of his life.
27:19It's probably a lot because of that.
27:21It's a heck of a quality.
27:24Coming up, can NFL life be that hard for Tim Tebow?
27:28Let me tell you something about the NFL.
27:30You're getting a nice little check.
27:31You're getting a nice house.
27:32You're a nice car.
27:33You're a bachelor.
27:34They love you.
27:37Why do you love Tim Tebow?
27:39He's an underdog.
27:41Can you call Tebow an underdog anymore?
27:43I don't think Tim.
27:44Yes, he's the underdog that has the number one selling jersey in the NFL.
27:48He has a commercial where he says, nobody believed in me.
27:51He was the number two or one recruit in the country coming out of high school.
27:54Where was he drafted?
27:55And with the 25th pick in the 2010 NFL draft.
27:59Oh, right.
28:00First round.
28:01He won a Heisman, right?
28:02And how many national titles did he win in college?
28:05Two.
28:06Underdog.
28:07Yeah, boy, what an underdog that guy is.
28:09Let me tell you something about the NFL and about hardship and people who have opportunity.
28:12You're getting a nice check.
28:14You're getting a nice house.
28:15You're getting a nice car.
28:16You're a bastard.
28:17They love you.
28:18Until you have nothing, you're not an underdog.
28:21He's hurting more than I am.
28:23Seriously, he's just not a slumdog millionaire.
28:26You could say maybe Tim Tebow has an overbite.
28:29Not Tim Tebow underdog.
28:31Underdog, my ass!
28:35So why do we love Tim Tebow for being the underdog?
28:40In 2011, he was a third-string quarterback behind Kyle Orton, the NFL's 24th rated passer.
28:47This is what you want at Denver, so you're going to get a look at Tim Tebow.
28:50And finally, I got something true for him.
28:54It's Matt Orton.
28:55Let's go for my coach.
28:57He is an underdog.
28:58He had a lot of accolades in college, but college is not the NFL.
29:02Most football people that evaluate these guys for a living don't think that he can do it.
29:06People have always said, this kid's not a quarterback.
29:09Let's move him to tight end.
29:11Let's move him somewhere else.
29:12If Tim Tebow didn't have any arms or legs, if he was just like a quarterback stump, right?
29:17He would be an underdog.
29:19But he's got all his appendages.
29:21The only difference is that he can't use them properly.
29:24That's why fans gravitate toward him is because so many people think he can't do it.
29:30The second completion of the game for Tim Tebow.
29:34What a great second completion of the game.
29:36Yeah! Yeah!
29:40Whether you think he's an underdog or not, there's no denying Tebow overcame the odds.
29:45In 2011, he got the Broncos to the playoffs and beat the heavily favorite Pittsburgh Steelers.
29:51He was an underdog in the playoffs against the Steelers, and he had a tremendous game.
29:55It was one game.
29:57He's getting his own NFL's Top 10 show.
30:02John Elway didn't get one.
30:03Stop saying he is.
30:06Sorry about that.
30:08Ha!
30:11In 2012, Tebow was brought to New York to be a backup again.
30:15This time to Mark Sanchez, 2011's 23rd rated passer.
30:20He is an underdog until he can show everybody in the league that he can be a consistent passer.
30:27He can win games consistently.
30:29Like so many great sports underdogs, Tim Tebow is set for a sequel.
30:34Everyone loves the underdog story.
30:36The Rocky movie was so popular, they made what, five, six, seven of them?
30:39That's the ultimate underdog movie in sports.
30:42And that's what Tebow is every day.
30:45Up next, what...
30:47The number two reason why we love you, Tebow.
30:50Tebow time.
30:51Number two.
30:52Tebow time.
30:53Sit in front of the TV, kids.
30:55I love the tip, Tebow's story.
30:57It's stunning in so many ways.
30:59Tebow 15, inside the 10, inside the 5.
31:03Are you kidding?
31:0412 plays, 95 yards.
31:08It was must-see TV.
31:09You had to watch to see how it was going to unfold badly.
31:12The first play.
31:13He won eight of the nine starts that he won by one score.
31:18And he was that one score.
31:19Over time, to the end zone, and media are playing.
31:23It's like, whoa!
31:25Fourth quarter, Tebow time.
31:30In 2011, the NFL revolved around our number two reason why we love Tim Tebow.
31:37Is it Tebow time?
31:38Tim steps up, he can run.
31:40Tim to the 10, throws, pass, caught, touchdown, Denver.
31:43Don't go away just yet.
31:45This is what I don't understand about Tebow time.
31:48Why does Tebow time not start until, you know, the last minute and a half of the game?
31:52What is Tebow time doing for the rest of the time?
31:55Tim Tebow in the first three quarters was 3 of 16.
31:59In the fourth quarter, he's 15 of 20.
32:01Is Tebow time unionized?
32:03Does he, right?
32:04I mean, does he get like a union break for Tebow time?
32:06I find myself feeling very comfortable with him as the quarterback in this situation.
32:12We look at Tim Tebow, he's like living a full life in four quarters.
32:15Like, look, I can suck for the first three quarters.
32:17I'm okay because I can still come back and win it at the end.
32:20Prater with plenty of leg on the way and it is over!
32:26Yeah!
32:30Well, the one that sticks out, I don't know if it's a favorite, but the one that sticks out
32:33was his first one, the Miami Dolphins game, where he's down 15-0 and it looked like he
32:39had never played quarterback before.
32:40It was almost embarrassing.
32:42See, this throw goes way over the head of Leshawn Marino.
32:46I have to admit, it was 55 minutes of the worst quarterbacking I have ever seen in 22 years
32:53of covering this league.
32:54Tebow, oh, and he had a tackle.
32:57And then, in the next five minutes, he erased all of that.
33:02Fires, and it's called for a touchdown.
33:05Tebow's going to be into the end zone.
33:07And we are tied at 15.
33:08And in overtime, the Broncos found a way to get him the ball, and he got the win.
33:13Prater with plenty of leg, and it is good!
33:16And Tebow time really took off.
33:1818 unanswered points, Tebow, two touchdown passes.
33:23If you would have written this script, you wouldn't have believed it.
33:28How do you make things happen like happened in those games?
33:32Seriously.
33:34I really believe Tebow's faith, because he gives it all up to one guy, and that's the
33:40man upstairs.
33:41Our God is an awesome God.
33:44He's oblivious to pressure, because he's not playing for people.
33:47He's truly playing for the Lord.
33:48Let's go, man.
33:49God is good.
33:50Let's go, baby.
33:50For some reason, those prayers won games, so it created this Tebow time.
33:56Our God is an awesome God, man.
33:58Our God is an awesome God, man.
34:00You can't even doubt that man on Sunday, on Thursday.
34:02You can't doubt that man on Thursday.
34:04You kidding me?
34:05All right, y'all have a blessed day.
34:08Seven of the eight games that the Broncos won during Tebow mania occurred on a Sunday,
34:13including their most impressive win, which was...
34:16Don't say it.
34:19Don't say the Steelers.
34:20Don't bring that up.
34:24The mile-high Messiah's playoff run against the Steelers was one for the ages, and the
34:30climax to the number two reason why we love Tim Tebow.
34:34Here's Thomas, out on the 45 midfield.
34:36Here we go, 40, 35, flip race, 20, 15, 10, let's go down, Denver.
34:42It's over.
34:43It's over, it's Denver.
34:45The crowd has lost their mind.
34:48It is over.
34:48That was the worst moment of my life.
34:51Denver moves on.
34:52The Steelers go home.
34:54I think that's the true mark of a competitor.
34:56A competitor, what separates the greats from the good and the good from the not-so-good is how do
35:01you perform under pressure.
35:02And the Broncos, in incredible fashion, have beaten the New York Jets.
35:07It's about how you finish.
35:08And the Denver Broncos win.
35:10Tebow time in overtime.
35:12What's it, Glen Gary, Glen Ross, coffees for closers.
35:16The Broncos have won six consecutive games.
35:19Well, football's for closers.
35:21And if you can close, you can play.
35:25Way to believe, baby.
35:26Way to believe.
35:28Coming up.
35:29And now, the reason why he loves Tebow, he makes the experts look dumb.
35:38Who's he making a fool out of?
35:40Who's he making a fool out of?
35:44He sure makes me look dumb.
35:46Yes.
35:48He has made me look dumb.
35:50How was that, David?
35:50He did?
35:51He did.
35:52He did.
35:53I was part of the criticism.
35:54I want to see if he can be an every-down player.
35:59The fans love him.
36:00The experts crucify him.
36:03I have been covering the NFL since 1983 in Denver.
36:06I have never seen a quarterback look so lost.
36:09And maybe I'm just a numbskull.
36:12But when I look at Tim Tebow, I say he doesn't have the skills to be an NFL quarterback.
36:17I think, really, you should go to Brady Quinn.
36:19I mean, Brady Quinn would give them a chance, perhaps, to compete and have a passing.
36:23Brady Quinn!
36:24You're a quarterback or you're not a quarterback.
36:26And Tim Tebow is a gimmick.
36:28And don't think I'm a hater.
36:30He's a hater.
36:31He's a hater.
36:32He's a hater.
36:32No, I'm not.
36:33I'm a realist.
36:36You know, I've said from day one that I didn't think it could continue.
36:40So I'm amazed that it continues to go on.
36:44What Tebow did was just kind of raise that to a weekly ritual of people saying, he can't
36:52do this.
36:52He can't win this game.
36:54This is where the magic ends.
36:56And how is this going to work?
36:57Tell me.
36:58It's not.
36:58It's not.
36:58It's going to be Brad Smith.
36:59And it's going to be a disaster.
37:00Pistol or whatever.
37:01And then he found a way.
37:02Denver has won six in a row.
37:08There's a certain level to Tebow where he does make the experts look foolish, make people
37:15have to eat their words.
37:16And America loves that because America loves to eat.
37:22Any time authority gets in the nuts, I'm a happy guy.
37:27These authorities fight back with words, not fists.
37:31Experts are experts.
37:33I've been pondering this stuff for quite some time.
37:35They don't just wake up one day as an expert.
37:37They've studied.
37:38They've learned things other people have not.
37:40And they don't have biases.
37:42He's got a long way to go to make fools of the experts.
37:46Of course experts have biases.
37:48If anything, he makes scouting experts look sillier than he makes statistical experts.
37:55The guy who really looks dumb is the one who trades up in the first round to draft him
37:59when he can probably get him in the second or third round.
38:02That was for you, Mr. McDaniels.
38:05Ah, he wanted him a playoff game.
38:09The experts who made those decisions were replaced by others who were less excited about Tebow's
38:16possibilities.
38:17The first couple weeks that he was starting, after every game, every win, they showed John
38:21Elway up in the booth with this frown on his face.
38:24You could see it in his eyes like, oh God, I'm going to have to play 10 Tebow for more
38:28weeks.
38:29Elway has a heck of a problem because this kid is going to keep winning.
38:32I mean, the last time I saw John Elway's face that sullen was getting beat down 55-10 in the
38:38Super Bowl.
38:39That same face where Elway was losing Super Bowls in the 80s was watching his quarterback win.
38:44He's got a good young man now.
38:46Yeah, he's doing a good job.
38:48He's doing a good job.
38:49He brings a lot of energy, which is always good.
38:53Elway was a great quarterback, but who trusts his opinion on quarterbacks right now?
38:58Considering the Paxton Lynch and the, uh, I don't know, the other guys he's drafted since Tebow left
39:05and since Peyton Manning retired.
39:07Who trusts his opinion on quarterbacks?
39:11Him being great at the game doesn't mean he can draft them.
39:20Anytime everyone's wrong about something, then in a way it validates why we watch these games.
39:26I tell you, if you're not a believer coming into this game, you have to be down.
39:30I'm talking, you know, seven, eight games, however many.
39:34It's not a season.
39:36It was a moment in time.
39:37Let's see what happens.
39:38But if we've learned anything, it's that patience is not a pundit's virtue.
39:43Even at the risk of looking bad, they'll always offer an opinion.
39:47How will Tebow mania end poorly?
39:49It can't end any other way, can it?
39:50What's going on with him?
39:52With Tebow, it's almost as though he's got to be a Hall of Famer or he's going to be a
39:56complete bust.
39:57And his reality probably lies somewhere in the middle.
40:01Eventually, everything levels out.
40:03Tebow will come back down to earth and we'll all realize, hey, this is Tim Tebow.
40:06He's a swell guy.
40:07He's not a swell quarterback.
40:09The experts will carry the day.
40:12You know what?
40:12The experts need to have some faith.
40:14You know, sometimes it comes to a time where it's not about what you know.
40:19You just got to have the faith.
40:20And we have faith that our experts won't even agree on how to end this look into Tebow time.
40:28Let's go make it 24 hours of Tim Tebow, if you ask me.
40:31No more Tebow, please.
40:33I'm ready to talk about Brett Favre again.
