Just to fill you in on who Tim Tebow is, he is God’s current gift to American Football. And I mean that in more ways than one. In particular, he is a highly-religious man and often thanks God in interviews for his performance as quarterback for the Denver Broncos. That is quite normal amongst successful public figures, but Tebow has been known to take it further:

In 2010, a new rule for the next NCAA football season, dubbed “The Tebow Rule” by media because it would have affected him, banned messages on eye paint. During his college football career, Tebow frequently wore references to biblical verses on his eye black. In the 2009 BCS Championship Game, he wore John 3:16 on his eye black; the verse was the highest-ranked Google search term over the next 24 hours, generating over 90 million searches. Additionally, later, when Tebow switched to another verse, there were 3.43 million searches of “Tim Tebow” and “Proverbs 3:5-6” together. Tebow stated of the searches “It just goes to show you the influence and the platform that you have as a student-athlete and as a quarterback at Florida” [more here]

You get the picture.

It is for reasons like this, that top US talk show host, Jimmy Fallon, dressed up as a David Bowie / Tim Tebow hybrid and sang a re-hashed version of “Major Tom.”

It’s a quality performance, whether you know anything about Tim Tebow or not.
