A huge game for the Denver Broncos this Sunday has become an even bigger event with the news that Jesus may be attending to watch Tim Tebow make his first start at quarterback of the season.

"Yep, from what I'm hearing, He is coming down for it," said Broncos media relations director, Jimmy Lester. "He would be watching it anyway, of course, but He wants to experience the atmosphere in the stadium firsthand."

The game will be held in Miami in Tebow's home state, and tickets were already hard to come by. Now prices have skyrocketed with word of Jesus Christ's planned attendance.

"I'm so pumped for this game!" said one Dolphins season ticket holder. "I want to tailgate and party with the J-man! Can you imagine how awesome he'd be at a tailgate? Making water into wine, growing your food exponentially … the dude parties like a rock star!"

Sales for Tim Tebow's Denver Broncos jersey have descended from the heavenly No. 1 spot it has occupied since he was drafted back in April 2010. Poor play and a backup role have contributed to the second-year player's fall from grace. But while Tebow's No. 15 may no longer be in the Top 10 in jerseys sold, it has reached the summit a somewhat less prestigious designation: No. 1 in jerseys handed down to younger cousins.

The exponential rise of the now Kyle Orton backup — and also Brady Quinn backup and possibly Adam Weber backup — to the top in the jerseys handed down to younger cousins rankings, while incredibly rapid, is not unprecedented. After Tom Brady led the New England Patriots to victory in Super Bowl XXXVI, older cousins could hardly wait to unload their Drew Bledsoe jerseys on their younger, unknowing relatives.

"I was a fan of [Bledsoe's] for the longest time," said former younger cousin, Mark Tanner of Waterford, Conn. "All because of that one stupid jersey. I don't even like the Patriots."

Luckily, for Mark, he was smart enough to cut ties when the battered veteran's erratic play led to Tony Romo becoming an NFL starter.

"I don't want that on my conscience. I can't even imagine what those kids having Tebow forced on them are going to have to deal with when they're my age," he said. "I'd pray for them, but that's just what that Tebow wants."
