It is Tony.  Great to have you on the EIB Network, sir.  Hello.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Mega dittos, Happy New Year.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Thank you very much, and same to you, sir.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Rush, I hope you\u2019re coming to Denver for the Broncos-Steelers game this weekend.  Please, Rush, will you handicap the game?  Tim Tebow (unintelligible) pull off the upset?<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_57695\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/TimTebow_large.jpg\"\/><BR\/>RUSH:  This is gonna be a long shot.  This is not the defense that you want coming to town if you\u2019re the Broncos at this stage of Tebow\u2019s development.  Oh, it\u2019s not gonna be pretty.  The Broncos, they\u2019re on a three-game tailspin here.  This is the number one defense, number two defense in the league.  There\u2019s plenty of tape now on containing Tebow on the college-style option offense. Pittsburgh has great corners and safeties and defensive ends to containment.  Anything is possible, and we get to the weekend, I might actually pick a couple games, point spreads.  As of now, I don\u2019t have plans to be in Denver.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Hm-hm.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  I don\u2019t have any plans to go to Denver.  My whole life is spontaneous, so who knows, but right now no plans to go to Denver.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Well, Rush, the media hates Tebow because of his faith.  The only way to make the media hate him even more is a picture of you standing next to him this weekend.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  (laughing)  Yes.  (laughing.)<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Hey, Rush, thanks for taking my call.  Love your show today.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  All right, appreciate it. (laughing) That\u2019s true.  The media, to be fair about this, at the outset was caustic and vitriolic toward Tebow back in the summer during the lockout when people were looking at Tebow working out on his own and supposedly not succeeding changing the throwing motion, he doesn\u2019t have a quick enough release, all these things.  And, of course, there was no question, the reason Tebow makes people uncomfortable is because he shows you your shortcomings. It\u2019s no more complicated than that.  It\u2019s why the left doesn\u2019t want any morality. They don\u2019t want any judgments \u2019cause they will never measure up.  If you look at the left\u2019s heroes, sports or otherwise, they\u2019re the people that are constantly getting in trouble, the bad boys, the guys crossing the line, the risk-takers. <\/p>\n<p>Tebow\u2019s dull, Tebow\u2019s boring, plus he\u2019s a Christian, he actually believes and they just don\u2019t want someone like that doing well.  Then they were overwhelmed by public opinion and the Broncos fan base, which clearly loved Tebow, wanted him to do well, and Tebow and the defense, the Broncos, got that team in the playoffs, barely, but they\u2019re there, wouldn\u2019t have happened probably had Tebow not taken over, and the media did start soft-pedaling their opposition.  I commented on it on this program that there had been a 180 in many places of the sportswriter community, now writing favorably about Tebow and so forth. <\/p>\n<p>But I\u2019ve known that deep down they\u2019ve been hoping for a major failure, an embarrassing blowout.  And that\u2019s what they\u2019re gonna be hoping for this Sunday so that the Tebow experiment as a quarterback is finally over with.  I\u2019m talking about national sportswriter people, not people in Denver.  There may be some in Denver, too.  But it\u2019s gonna be the Steelers defense, they\u2019re gonna be minus some players, but most of the Steelers\u2019 injuries are on offense.  So this has a chance not to be pretty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: We got somebody on the phone from Denver. It is Tony. Great to have you on the EIB Network, sir.
