Look, the Patrtiots could (and should) beat the Broncos to a bloody pulp on Saturday night, consigning all talk of Tebow to the scrapyard of internet memes. BUT until then, sports blogs like Balls.ie have to eek every last drop of content out of the walking internet sensation that is the Chosen One.
Twitter chatter last night amongst gaelic footballers about Tebowing after a score got us thinking: this thing could actually happen this season. It might be in an untelevised O'Byrne Cup match or the club semifinals, but Tebowing has definitely entered the Irish sports consciousness and we can think of no better to celebrate a point or a goal, or even a stroll on Croke Park's hallowed ground than to drop to one knee and thank the Creator.
But who will be the first GAA player to Tebow? Odds below. By the way, whoever does this will win a lifetime's immunity from Balls.ie slagging and a Balls.ie bumper sticker.
3-1 - Anyone on Wexford (formerly the county most likely to celebrate a win by planking)
4-1 - Darran O'Sullivan
5-1 - Mossy Quinn (seems to actually like Tebow in his Twitter feed)
7-1 - The guy on Limerick with the mohawk. (if only he scored)
8-1 - Galvin (doesn't strike me as a believer in God, but he could call it Versaceing)
9-1 - Paul Brogan (desperate for attention)
10-1 - Newstalk's Ciaran Murphy (not technically a GAA player, I know, so this one could be appealed)
500-1 - Dick Clerkin
750-1 - Any O'Se
900-1 - Any hurler
999-1 - Jim McGuiness (I bet he'll have all of Doengal tebowing this year under one condition - they can't tell anybody)
1000-1 - Cluxton (he's so lame)
