mea culpa

mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. my fault, my fault, my most grievous fault.

After bashing Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos and giving them little or no chance to defeat the mighty Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC wild card game, they proved me wrong once again. They won. I'm stunned but happy for the little davids against the bad ass steely Goliaths.

So to all of you who abundantly piled on me after my latest blog of "Project TT and the Broncos", I was wrong about the Broncos chances against the Steelers but not totally. Give me some air to breathe. Geez. It's just a blog!

I did blog the following about what has to happen before the game for Tim Tebow and the Broncos to win: "you are visited and empowered by angel Gabriel in the dark of night and with a new found ability of throwing a football with a spiral...quickly and accurately." And that is exactly what happened against Pittsburgh...the spiral part. 10 of 21 for 316 yards , 2 TDs passing and 1 TD rushing. Total personal yards for the game were 366 yards, a short par four, nonetheless. The week before against the Kansas City Chiefs, Tebow amassed a total of 60 yards. Today's 316 yards is a 500% improvement in one week. Incredible against the #1 defense in pro football. Go figure.

Humbly, I take no personal credit in implying that my blog had anything to do with the angel paying TT a dream visit allegedly and then TT's sudden stunning ability to throw the perfect pass at the perfect time. For that took divine intervention. And divine I am not! I te-bow to Gabriel on that ONE.

The country will be buzzing about this game for the week...or until the next miracle in Foxboro on Saturday against the New England Patriots. Can it happen again? Yes. Will it happen? I'm not going there.
