I Think We All Called This One

We predicted that Tim Tebow's saccharine, garish religiosity would be seen as irksome and puerile by the NFL. And it's already started:

At the Scouting Combine, the Wonderlic exam is administered to players in groups. The 12-minute test is preceded by some brief instructions and comments from the person administering the test.

Per a league source, after the person administering the test to Tebow's group had finished, Tebow made a request that the players bow their heads in prayer before taking the 50-question exam.

Said one of the other players in response: "Shut the f--k up." Others players in the room then laughed.

Those were, I insist, the appropriate responses. By all means, let Tim murmer to whatever magical being he fancies. But to assume that everyone else in the room wanted to join him--and were sheepishly waiting for a righteous, brave Christian like Tebow to take the spiritual lead in the cosmically significant event of taking a standardized test--is as ostentatious as it is presumptuous and ridiculous.

And, as Christopher Hitchens says, rightly are the simple so called: Tebow scored a below-average 22 on the Wonderlic test. Seriously, that's pathetic. It's a test I could have aced in middle school.
