Tebowing -- 'taking a knee' in prayerful reflection in the midst of an athletic activity

 

In part, the article says:

 

"Even the world's dictionaries could soon be forced to take note of Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow.

...The Global Language Monitor announced Monday that it acknowledges that the word "Tebowing" has officially entered the English language."

Isn't it amazing?

 

I watched a bit of the "analysts" trying to analyze what is happening with the Broncos and they just shake their heads.

 

I think it is interesting that something that was commonplace in years past - a kneeling prayer in thanks or asking for guidance- is such an anomaly that a new word is added to the dictionary after knowing this kid for just about 8 weeks.

 

The theme on the sports shows is that there is just something special about him and what the team is succeeding in doing.

 

I am just enjoying watching this team do such great things when everyone says they can't. They seem to be just as stunned as everyone else, but humble. It is fun to watch.
