Yes, yes, I realize that the above is not really an Orthodox cartoon, but I could not resist it. As you know, the Denver Broncos won against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday during their playoff game. Now the Broncos go on to face the Patriots. What I had not caught was that:
Tebow completed 10 of 21 passes for a season-high 316 yards for a passer rating of 125.6 that is the highest in Broncos postseason history.
Yes, I had read that line. But, I must admit that it had not connected with me, as it did with the cartoonist who drew the above cartoon, that the 316 yards is a perfect analog to Mr. Tebow’s wearing of the 3:16 allusion to John 3:16 in the black sun protection on his lower eyelids. Also, I suspect that I would not have included Bill Maher in the cartoon. While it is true that he has been the anti-Tebow during the season, this appears to be a mite of inappropriate gloating.
Was God involved in that particular statistic? Frankly, I have no idea, but I know that it is dangerous to attribute matters to God unless there is clear and definite proof. Nevertheless, I cannot help a small giggle in my throat along with a sidelong glance up toward Heaven.
