Tim Tebow has big plans for 666th 'Monday Night Football' game

And so it was that on the morn of the 666th Monday Night Football game in the course of mankind, Timothy Richard Tebow noticed this numerical oddity and took to the mount to declare his righteousness against the mark of the beast.

On the second Monday of October, Tebow took a respite from reading his papyrus playbook to declare his intentions for the eve: "Looking forward to giving God all the glory in tonight's 666th Monday Night Football game. Romans 8:37-39."

<snip>

The Bible verse Tebow references in the 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, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God."

<snip>

Now that he plays for the Jets, we're sure it's also completely accidental that the Bible verse right before Romans 8:37-39 has to do with sheeps being led to the slaughter.

Everytime it says 666, he should stop and do something special to ward off the devil.

the one on the wearer's right says "f**k",
the one on the wearer's left says "you".

or maybe tim can wear "ephesians" "6:5" to inspire his own black teammates.

No, oh, well, never mind. God won't be watching him then anyway, right?

point of football is to out score your opponent. No one gives a crap if your more righteous with the lord when your down 23-17.
