Tim Tebow, the Denver Broncos quarterback of Tebowing fame, had a hard game, and he is getting some digs from the unbelievers, especially Bill Maher.

Even in defeat, Tim Tebow creates controversy -- this time in Tinseltown. HBO's Bill Maher created a firestorm over the Christmas weekend with a scathing reaction to Tebow's subpar performance in Buffalo. Shortly after Tebow threw four interceptions in the Broncos' lopsided defeat to the Bills, Maher turned to his Twitter page to poke fun at the very religious NFL star. (And a warning: Maher's tweet includes harsh language and divisive references.) "Wow, Jesus just [screwed] #TimTebow bad! And on Xmas Eve! Somewhere ... Satan is tebowing, saying to Hitler "Hey, Buffalo’s killing them," Maher tweeted. Maher, a proud atheist who supports legalizing pot, same-sex marriage and is a board member for PETA, upset a number of conservatives, according to Entertainment Weekly. Eric Bolling of Fox News responded to Maher by calling him "disgusting vile trash," among other things.

You know Maher was just waiting for such an opportunity, itching for Tebow to fall. Hey, when you wear your heart on your sleeve, you have to expect the daws to come and peck at it.

But other teams now have game tape of him in action and can prepare their defenses accordingly. A new QB in the league can often get away with "miracles" when no one knows what to expect from them - especially if they possess great running skills like Tebow. But the party is over.
