Tebow used 666th Monday Night Football game as battle between good and evil

Yesterday, on the morning of the Jets-Texans game, Tim Tebow took the opportunity to turn a broadcast of Monday Night Football game into a holy rolling tweet.

Leave it up to the New York Jets Bible-thumping quarterback to go on Twitter and tweet Jets fans:

"Looking forward to giving God all the glory in tonight's 666th Monday Night Football game.  Romans 8:37-39."

It really was broadcast No. 666.  What were the chances?


Tebow may have used the Bible to help rally his team by publicizing the evil number 666 — historically known as the sign of Satan — but his preaching did nothing to help the Jets find salvation.

Playing in a game numbered with the mark of the beast proved to be an bad omen for the team.  The faithless fans watched the Jets lose.  NFL verse: Texans 23-17.

Tebow did get to carry the ball five times for 19 yards and a long throw to Jason Hill was dropped.  No water to wine, but enough to get fans calling for Tebow to start.



The Bible verse Tebow referenced in his tweet says: "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, not anything else in creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God."

I'm guessing that by "depth," it doesn't mean the number of Jets receivers on the roster.

If Tebow wants to focus on a number he should start with the single No. 6.  The jersey number of Mark Sanchez — the quarterback separating the Jets from good and evil.
