Love him? Hate him? Hope he tears his knee in half and ends his career on a single play? Whatever the case may be, one thing is apparent: When it comes to the NFL, Tim Tebow equals ratings. For all those out there who hate Tebow, that's not just a myth, either. According to a writer for the Sports Business Journal, the Broncos/Steelers game last night earned an astronomical 25.9 overnight rating, making it the highest-rating AFC Wild Card playoff game since 1988. Yup. Your man is that popular. And can you even imagine how many folks are gonna tune in next weekend when Tebow and the Broncos take on Tom Brady and the Patriots? Good grief. Your television might explode once the game starts. Sorry, haters. Tebowmania is definitely here to stay...
