Michael Medved on why Tebowmania is kosher

I'm no particular admirer of the Denver Broncos. In fact, as a Bears fan, I wish they'd come up with their own colors instead of stealing ours. Nor do I go ga-ga over Tim Tebow's late-game heroics this season, which actually fall considerably short of the hype they've gotten. The jury is still out as to whether this guy is the next coming of Johnny Unitas or of Rex Grossman; time will tell.

But I'm a big fan of Michael Medved, who has written quite perceptively about the wave of anti-Christian bigotry inspired by Tebow's frank and open "evangelical" piety.

A surprising number of Jews, it seems, are Tebow fans. In fact, Mr. M- an orthodox Jew himself- points out that Hebrew is read from right to left- and that 613 (3:16 read backwards) is the number of divine commands in the Torah, and thus a holy number to Jews.
