The Return of The Heet Zone

Hello readers,
     After a long hiatus I have returned back to writing The Heet Zone. And honestly it could not have come at a better time for sports. The NFL just had one of the most exciting weeks that it plays during the season, Wildcard Weekend. Syracuse Men's Basketball is number one in the nation and off to a 17-0 start. The NHL is in mid season and the Rangers are playing like they have something to prove. And not mention the NBA is in full swing, although how many people really noticed the NBA was gone?
     But my first topic to talk about since my long break from writing The Heet Zone is going to be something the NFL fan likely hears everyday, Tim Tebow. Tebow probably has more fans than any other player in the NFL and this is because of his seemingly miracle-like wins that the Bronco's and Tebow put together in the final moments of a game.
     Honestly, I can not say that I am the biggest fan of Tebow but when someone is playing the way that Tebow is you have to give him credit. I am sure that there are many people out there saying that Tebow did not win that game yesterday for the Bronco's. And that his defense helped him or that his wide receivers did all the work on the field and were able to slip tackles and find small holes in the defense to slip through. While this may be true, Tebow won that game for the Denver Bronco's yesterday.
     For people that say the defense won the game yesterday for Tebow, lets take a look at how the scoring was in yesterdays game.  At halftime it was 20-6 in favor of the Bronco's. At this point of the game it is fair to say the defense was winning the game for Tebow. But by the time it was the end of the fourth quarter the Bronco's defense let a hobbled Ben Roethlisberger go down and tie the game at 23-23. The defense had begun to fail. If the defense had played the way that it had in the first half in the second half, it would have been acceptable to say that the defense won that game for Tebow. But for the nay-sayers, the defense did not hold up through the entire game.
     Some people say that the Wide Receivers won the game for Tebow. And while this may be a fair thing to say, someone had to throw to them. Someone had to throw accurate passes to them for them to go and score the touchdowns. The person that threw those passes in this game was Tim Tebow. Tebow threw for over 300 yards against a very stingy Steelers defense, in fact one of the best defenses in the league this season. Not only did Tebow throw for 316 yards and two touchdowns, he ran for 50 yards and one touchdown against this tough defense.
     Then there is others that say Demaryius Thomas won the game for the Bronco's because he took a 20 yard pass to the end zone for an 80 yard reception in overtime to win the game. But once again someone had to deliver that pass to him, someone had to throw an accurate pass to him, that person was none other than Tim Tebow. Tebow threw it to Thomas accurately. Tebow also likely noticed that Thomas was just about even with the safety. Because of the accurate well thrown ball from Tebow the rest was up to Thomas, a simple foot race to the end zone and Thomas won.
     Love him or hate him, Tebow is a winner and always has been. When Tebow is given the chance to win, he will find a way to win. Whether its his skill or having some kind of spiritual power behind him Tebow is a winner and Tebow will likely be around the NFL for a long time.
