Tebowing: (vb) to get down on one knee and start praying, even if everyone else around you is doing something completely different.
Tebowing is officially funnier than planking.
Maybe it’s because I went to the University of Georgia, or because he starts every statement with “First of all I just want to thank Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior,” but I’m not really a Tim Tebow fan. I took a certain amount of pleasure in watching him cry on television after Florida lost the SEC Championship game to Alabama in 2009 and barely held back a round of dry heaves when he made a Superbowl ad for Focus on the Family. So I thoroughly enjoy watching people make fun of his tendency to bow down and pray at completely random and bizarre moments during games.
This new site, Tebowing, shows people striking the down-on-one-knee, head-on-your-fist pose he’s so fond of on the field in a variety of locations — bars, offices, rooftops, operating rooms. There’s even a toddler getting in on the action.
Because you never know when the need to pray will strike, and it doesn’t matter what is going on around you. When the urge hits, just make like Tebow—kneel down and do it.

#Tebowing – to get down on a knee and start praying, even if everyone else around you is doing something completely different. Love it!
Wonder how God feels about having somebody else’s name on His worship?

I find it humorous that you people are making fun of “Tebowing”. You are drawing attention to the thing you seem to be so scared of – the Christian faith. That’s right, when you want to pray, do it…and don’t worry about what others are doing, or what they will think…which is how Tebow lives his life…something to aspire to, not make fun of – go ahead & keep drawing attention to his praying…it’s a GOOD thing!

FWIW – Tebow is the one drawing attention to his prayer. This website is mocking that particular aspect of it, not the prayer itself.
Matthew 6
5And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are:
for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of
the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They
have their reward.
6But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which
seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
///see…I know my Bible, too.

Now im not a huge Tim Tebow fan by any means, but you cant hide the fact the guys an incredible role model. Would you rather your kids run around with hookers and doing blow, or running around with guns (Extreme)? To put things into perspective, we have an athlete who is an actual positive influence for our youth and all people can do is make fun of him, and attempt to discredit him. Im sure your a good person Liza Eckert, but this is a poor example of your character. It’s a sad day when someone is judged for being a good person.
