Take FIVE Tebow

The last few weeks of my life have accompanied many questions, and in turn thoughts about the future. 

"No, grandma, I don't have a girlfriend. And thanks for the offer but I think I can solve that issue on my own," I would say. This is becoming a Holiday tradition, a seminar or serenade by numerous family members (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!) about the not so distant future. 

But the one question, and I promise it will ultimately lead me back to my main point and sports, is the ostentatious '5 year plan'. "Where do you see yourself in FIVE YEARS?" And that, for me, is the one that is the most frightening propositions.

This upcoming spring is set, I can do all I want but something will give or it won't and I know that to be true. That is set in stone the same way Excalibur's sword is.

And this, will be where I come back to sports, and (would you have guessed it to be different?) back to Tim Tebow.

"Where do I see myself in 5 years", and "Where will Tebow be in 5 years?" aren't that different at all. The Broncos heartthrob (Thought; can you imagine if Tebow ever gets in a relationship? The Internet may explode.) is continually getting better. That fact is undeniable, but its only one game, even if it was a playoff game and one of the most captivating finishes in a city that has seen its fair share of drama. 

Tebow stole our grade school lunch money but he's giving us half of a Zebra Pie brownie that he bought with it.

In five years time, frightened as we may be, will that, now puberty stricken Tebow (in football years) still be able to woo us at the Sadie Hawkins dance? Can he become the Broncos quarterback of the future?

I still, although I am completely and utterly on the bandwagon, hesitate to say 'Yes'. We'll see in five, tremendously long years.

["No, grandma, still no girlfriend."..... Also, I hope I'm wrong but I don't know if Denver can handle TNT type drama every Sunday for very much longer.]
