Tebowgetics

/
I’m a cynic and a pessimist by nature. Usually, if “everybody is doing it,” I don’t. I can’t tell you whether it’s my sin nature, my metacultural bent, or a regenerate distrust of fads and mania in general. And maybe in this case it’s my affinity for the Pittsburgh Steelers (who, after all, have the...
