And now the origin story — of a trend much less than a week old.
In the minutes following Denver’s astonishing come-from-behind victory more than the Miami Dolphins, Broncos fan Jared Kleinstein and his pals barreled out of a New York City saloon and took this photo, in honor of quarterback Tim Tebow’s prayerful stance after the win.
The Denver Post reported that inside 24 hours, Kleinstein went viral with the photo. You know the drill: Facebook, blog, domain name purchase, and so on.
BANG. World wide web phenomenon.Tebowing.com was up and running, and it’s now netting pictures from all corners, with men, women and children submitting their (often highly awkward) version of the pose.
Yesterday we pinpointed a couple of of our favorites (namely Region Surgeon Who Need to Have His Focus Elsewhere Tebowing). In the hours because, we’ve also fallen for Green Man Tebowing and Overly Significant Meditative Woman Tebowing.
Kleinstein is clear, this is in honor of the quarterback, not a jab, and Tebow tweeted his approval Thursday night.
It’s catching fire inside team walls, too, with Broncos linebacker Von Miller observed Tebowing away the day soon after practice. (Come on, John Fox, your turn.)
“Love him or hate him, but Tebow fever is contagious,” Kleinstein stated. “It’s a lot of enjoyable, and that’s why this worked so properly.”

A.J. Hawk, maintain your locker location uncluttered for the FedEx delivery sure to come from the league this week.
In a sequence of events that each reaffirmed his physical abilities and enhanced his wildman persona, the Green Bay Packers linebacker sacked Rams quarterback Sam Bradford in the second quarter, then leapt to his feet and appeared to flip off his own sideline.
It was confusing.
We’re not sure who specifically Hawk told was No. 1, but it’s a secure bet he’ll be asked that extremely question right after the game. This qualifies as Sunday’s most dramatic subplot for the 5- Packers, who jumped out to a 24-3 halftime lead more than the moribund Rams.

HOUSTON — NFL owners have awarded the 2015 Super Bowl to the Phoenix location.
It will be the third time the location has hosted the game, which will be played in Glendale, Ariz. The Super Bowl also was held at University of Phoenix Stadium in 2008, when the Giants beat the Patriots 17-14. Tempe, Ariz., hosted the game in 1996, with Dallas defeating Pittsburgh 27-17.
The Arizona committee screamed in delight when the announcement was made Tuesday.
Phoenix beat the Tampa location in the bidding on the second ballot. Tampa has hosted the game in 1984, 1991, 2001 and 2009.
Next year’s game is in Indianapolis, followed by New Orleans in 2013 and the New York/New Jersey area in 2014.
The owners also announced that the 2014 Super Bowl in New York/New Jersey has been moved up to Feb. two so as not to conflict with the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.
The 2015 game is the 49th Super Bowl.

It was a rough day for cornerback Antonio Cromartie.
The Jets cornerback committed 4 penalties, lost a fumble on a kickoff, and suffered bruised lungs according to Manish Mehta of the New York Everyday News. He went to an Oakland-area medical center, but returned to the team. The Jets are calling it a “rib injury.”
Cromartie didn’t play the last six minutes of the game. The Newark Star Ledger reports Cromartie is “expected to be fine.” (Which is effortless to say when you are talking about somebody else’s bruised lungs.)
The Jets also reportedly fear that tight end Jeff Cumberland tore his Achilles, according to Mehta.

There are a couple of unspoken roles about trash talking.
1. If you are going to publicly call an individual overhyped, it’s ideal if your talent level is in the exact same area code as the player you are calling.
two. If you are going to trash speak an opponent, make certain you are playing that week.
Jaguars receiver Jason Hill broke each rules this week when he called out Darrelle Revis and the Jets. Revis said he didn’t know who Hill was, and he’s not most likely to find out on Sunday. Hill is listed as doubtful on the injury report. Rookie Cecil Shorts could commence.
“Well, he shouldn’t have been talking in the 1st place since he can’t back it up now,” Revis stated.
Hill is hardly Jacksonville’s greatest injury concern. Big funds tight finish Marcedes Lewis is doubtful to play, even though defensive finish Aaron Kampman is out.
Kampman has to be particularly concerning. He hasn’t been able to recover from his second ACL surgery in as a lot of years. The team has to be worried that he won’t be a lot of a factor this year right after giving him a massive contract in 2010.

The New York Giants’ beginning safeties have been fined a total of $ 30,000 for a pair of hits in Sunday’s 28-14 loss to the Washington Redskins.
Antrel Rolle was fined $ 20,000 for spearing, even though Kenny Phillips was fined $ 10,000 for striking an opponent in the head and neck area.
Rolle was flagged for unnecessary roughness for a hit on Redskins tight finish Fred Davis, and spearing is one of the infractions the NFL takes very seriously: $ 20,000 is the minimum fine. Rolle’s penalty was even costlier for the Giants than it was for him personally, as it gave the Redskins an automatic 1st down just as the Giants’ defense had stopped them on third down. The Redskins led 21-14 at the time, but rather of punting to the Giants and giving them a opportunity to tie the score, the Redskins scored a touchdown right after Rolle’s penalty to seal the victory.
Phillips was not flagged at any point in the game, and the NFL hasn’t said exactly what he did to earn a fine, but it was reportedly also a hit on Davis. Phillips stated today that he plans to appeal.
