Tim Tebow Tweets About 666th Monday Night Football Game - Business Insider



Bad Omen. Seriously, I never thought of Tebow as divisive (polarizing) personally. I get that his public persona causes people to divide, but his leadership skills cause people of different faiths, values and circumstances to come together to accomplish a common goal.

Strangely, I had not heard President Obama described as polarizing in the past, but I guess I must have missed the articles cited below.

I might have to watch MNF instead of the baseball play-offs after reading this article. And the Jets are normally very polarizing to a Giants fans like me. Thanks Timmy boy.

from Business Insider:
Tim Tebow Tweets About 666th Monday Night Football Game - Business Insider:

"And as if we needed another sign that Tebow Time II is almost upon us, it just so happens that tonight is the 666th game in Monday Night Football history, as Tebow reminded us with this pregame tweet:

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

666 is the sign of the beast.

It's the perfect storm.

Tebow has been laying low since joining the Jets last spring. But we all know how much of a polarizing figure he was last year, and this tweet, more than anything, gives us a little bit of nostalgia for the days of Tebowmania."
