LOL! Always wondered what that “sheen” was. See more Vikings/Broncos game day tweets from the very excellent Purple Jesus Diaries.

Packers 12-0, Vikings lost again.

Tim Tebow did it again, leading the Broncos to a fourth quarter victory over the Vikings (and their helmet-less DE Jared Allen). The Broncos, who now lead the AFC West with a 7-5 record, are 6-1 since Tebow took over as starting quarterback. (Rich Gabrielson/Icon SMI)

#69 don’t need no stinking helmet! Great shot.

Broncos, Tim Tebow rally to beat Vikings 35-32; now tied atop AFC West

Broncos, Tim Tebow rally to beat Vikings 35-32; now tied atop AFC West:

dysfunctionarian:

I am LOVING the player quotes in this article.

Percy:

“When I hear all those ESPN commentators say, ‘He can’t do this,’ I laugh. After the game, I whispered in his ear, ‘Let ‘em keep hating. Keep ‘em hating on you.’ “

Marcus Thomas:

“You know I’ve always been a Tebow man. He’s always been going through this where people didn’t believe in him. I was criticizing him his freshman year in college.”

Wait a minute. Tebow was getting knocked by his fellow Gators?

“Everybody was,” Thomas said. “But he always proved us wrong. It was the way he threw. We had Chris Leak and Tebow would come in throwing the way he throws. We’d be like, ‘Oh, man, he can’t do this.’ But everything about him is a winner. Ever since his freshman year, we all knew he was the real deal. He proved us all wrong.”

Eric Decker:

“I want to take the Comeback Kid name away from the 100 other guys who had it and give it to him.”

Jared Allen:

“I mean, the dude lit us up,” Vikings star defensive end Jared Allen said. “I would have bet my paycheck that he would not have beat us passing the ball. Hats off to him. He’s a competitor.”

That was one of the most fun Vikings games I’ve ever been to. Cheering for both sides and not coming up disappointed certainly helps. And to be honest, I was really rooting for another W for Tebow. As much as I love love love my hometown squad, I just want to see what happens.

According to a listing from Warburg broker Robert Schulman, “The master bedroom and marble master bath provide a quiet Zen-like retreat,” perfect for meditating over that disastrous mid-season trade of Randy Moss last year. With three guest bedrooms, the Wilfs can surely have Adrian Peterson stay with them during his convalescence! Featuring park views and 12-foot ceilings the home is the opposite of Brett Favre—which is to say far from an overpriced disappointment. [via]

LOL. Nice PR move, Wilf. He could be a hero in MN if he just built the damn stadium himself. #SadTrombone

wheezy:

Why was I remotely worried about the outcome of this game? Oh, rivalries.

Greg Coleman quoted from memory on MN Sports radio KFAN, before the game:

“The Green Bay Packers are sitting at the top, they’re living fat. The Vikings are HUNGRY. They’re in a good position to knock off the reigning super bowl champions.”

We were buying what Greg was selling. What the hell happened.

“

28. Donovan McNabb

You know what’s strange? In this day and age — when NBA stars like Dirk Nowitzki are peaking in their mid-30s, when 34-year-old Tom Brady is playing as well as ever, when training and dieting has staved off the aging process for great athletes by a couple of years — how in God’s name was Donovan McNabb (born on November 25, 1976) washed up two years ago? It’s not like he suffered a major injury. It’s not like his personal life fell apart. Shouldn’t he still be thriving? Mike Lombardi’s recent report about McNabb’s poor work ethic was pretty telling — even though he gave Philly 10 quality years, made six Pro Bowls, finished 98-62 as a starter and goes down as one of the most talented QBs of that decade, it feels like the ancillary stuff (that he didn’t stay in shape, that he wasn’t prepared, that he wasn’t enough of a leader, that nobody will ever totally know what happened in the fourth quarter of that Patriots-Eagles Super Bowl, that three teams quit on him) will become a bigger part of his legacy than anything else. He’s one of those rare athletes who was handed the complete car wash package and never totally appreciated it. You know what Sonny from A Bronx Tale would say.

(Btw, Christian Ponder is ranked #30 on the list…)
