DJ Gallo on the Tebow haters


Week: 6

Tebow performance: Filling in for the ineffective Kyle Orton in the second half, Tebow nearly rallies Denver to a victory over the Chargers.
Haterus Tebowis comments: "That was adorable. But if John Fox listens to these stupid Denver fans and starts Tebow in a game next week, he needs to have his head examined."

Week 10

Tebow performance: Tebow goes 2-for-8, and Denver beats the Chiefs 17-10.
