The Tebow Connection: Prop bets, Taiwanese animation, and more Tebow music videos than you can stand

We told you that the Tebocalypse would be here if he ever won a game as a starter, and now it’s upon us. Look, you didn’t pray hard enough for the Broncos to lose to the Dolphins, so it’s your fault. First, some delightful YouTube antics from the folks at Next Media Animation, examining, well, I’m not sure. But enjoy.
Even though sports books generally took a bath on the Tebow-led fourth-quarter comeback by the Broncos over the Dolphins on Sunday, his being a starter is still good news, according to Bodog.com sportsbook manager Richard Gardner.
“With Tim Tebow playing for the Broncos we saw more action on the Denver this week than we have in a long time. It will be interesting to see how the bettors treat the Broncos this week against the Lions since Detroit has also become a very publicly bet team this season. Either way Tebow is good for the game and good for the book, even though he cost us a lot last week.”
