A Guide To Determining Your Stance On Tim Tebow
01.01.70
Think about it. There's no way God isn't some kind of all-knowing Internet troll. He wrote a handbook for people with hundreds of conflicting instructions. He sends plagues. He kills the innocent at random. He is SEXISS. He's clearly just trying to get our goats. I bet he sees Tebow praying to him after a touchdown and he just sits there laughing his ass off, knowing how much Tebow's success is grating on most of us.
As much as I'd like to join you in your quest to see Tebow irritate the masses, I can't. I still want to see him fail. The praying after that Jets TD was too much for me. Like that guy doesn't know there will be cameras on him the second he drops to one knee. He's showing off his piety, dammit. If I were a Jesus freak, I'd be pissed at him for rallying all the Jesus haters to a common cause. No one sees Tim Tebow score a touchdown and then is like, "Whoa, he scored! I better get my ass to church!"
Also, Easterbrook and Simmons have conspired together to love Tebow, and I can't get on board with that. Simmons even used the term "saber nerds" last week. Soon he'll be going off his meds during HBO roundtable discussions.

Longshoremen help set up Salvation Army's Christmas center
01.01.70
Volunteers at the Salvation Army Community Christmas Center
learned this year that a little muscle goes a long way.
For the first time, members of the International Longshore and
Warehouse Union Local 21 unloaded trucks, set up tables and hauled
in boxes of supplies, toys, clothing and other items to set up the
center.
Beverly Gilmore, longtime center organizer, said the help was
welcomed this year because the state Department of Corrections was
unable to send parolees over to help, as it has in years' past.
"They couldn't have offered their help at a better time,"
Gilmore said of the longshoremen.
For decades, the Christmas Center has served hundreds of needy
families, who get clothes and toys for children and a food box or a
voucher for a holiday dinner. This year, the center will start
taking reservations Monday (applicants must come in person) and
will start distributing food and gifts after a community open house
on Dec. 5.
Last year, 935 families received help through the center, and
more are expected this year, Salvation Army Capt. David Davis
said.
