(CBS News)Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow has Americans standing up and taking notice.
More than 42 million people watched Tebow’s thrilling game-winning touchdown strike last Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers. It was the highest-rated NFL wild card game in 18 years, and set a record for the most sports tweets – with more than 9,000 per second.
Tebow’s the talk of the town, from Denver to “The Late Show with David Letterman” (“Top 10 little-known facts about Tim Tebow . . . Number 1: Can turn water into Gatorade”).
With a series of improbable comeback wins this season, Tebow’s devout (or devoted) fans have come to expect miracles. But Tebow’s now well-known propensity for praising God has made many fans weary, preferring a separation of church and game.
