Since Tim Tebow's team was eliminated from the playoffs this weekend and today is Martin Luther King Day, I thought it would be worth dusting off this exchange I had over whether the Tebow controversy was significantly racial in nature. (I say no.)

Racial in nature? I say no, however, it is (was) indicative of the over the top, secularist, militant atheist culture we live in today. Hatred of anyone who holds some faith in God and in the pursuit of trying, repeat, trying to hold to some religious principles.

Of course the hate is reserved only for native born American Christians - foreign born Muslims are bowed to and worshipped at Superior Beings.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- They're back. Ski masks in hand, hatchets gripped, mercy gene removed. The Patriots are back to destroy, plunder, choke out.

"I don't know if there's a defense that can stop that offense the way it's playing right now," Denver's Champ Bailey told me, speaking of the Patriots.

Bailey would know. He witnessed the Patriots' 45-10 rout in the AFC divisional playoffs first-hand.
