Tim Tebow, QB, Denver Broncos, and Joe Haden, CB, Cleveland Browns are both up for NFL Rookie of the Week.

Tim Tebow led Denver to a 17-point come-from-behind win against Houston: 16/29, 308 yards, 1 TD / 1 INT, 1 rushing TD.

Joe Haden made 5 tackles, forced 1 sack, recovered 1 fumble, and had an interception in the Browns' loss to the Ravens.

It's pretty cool to see two Gators, on both sides of the ball, up for Rookie of the Week. (Although Joe Webb looked really good against the Eagles.)

Quarterback controversy?

To begin Denver's 3-10 season, Kyle Orton showed much promise and plenty of fire, and his playing clearly stated, "I am the starting quarterback". He led the league in passing yardage (sometimes compensating for a poor rushing game). Through the first 8 games, Orton's statistics are 195/316 (61.7%), 2510 yds, 12 TD / 5 INT, and a 92.7 rating.

As the season progressed, the passing offense, including Orton, regressed. His statistics for games 9-13 are 98/182 (53.8 %), 1143 yds, 8 TD / 4 INT, and a 78.6 rating. Recently the QB controversy has intensified.

Orton supporters cite his experience, noting that the veteran quarterback would give Denver the best chance to win. Tebow supporters cite his potential, noting that his mobility may give Denver an extra edge on offense.

I am not here to debate who should start (barring Orton's injury, of course).

Instead, I ask what do you expect from Tebow tomorrow? More after the jump.

Now they're starting to come around:

There's no love lost between Tennessee fans and Lane Kiffin.

Knoxville attorney Drew McElroy has filed paperwork with the Knoxville City Council's Public Properties and Facilities Naming Committee to rename a waste water treatment plant the “Lane Kiffin Sewage Center,” according to the Louisville Courier-Journal.

“It dawned on me -- Lane Kiffin told us that he hoped the fans would understand. I thought 'Well, naming the wastewater plant for him would let him know, I think very clearly, we do understand,'“ McElroy told the paper. “We want to memorialize his stay here, and I think this would be doing it appropriately.”

WebMD describes a midlife crisis as a transition concerning one's life structure. For many people, the life structure centers around family or work, but other factors such as religion and economic status may also apply. This transition normally occurs between the ages of 37 and 50 (*cough* 45), and is generally triggered by a "life event", such as a child finishing college (or, ahem, entering college).

Below is an excerpt where WebMD discusses how a midlife crisis may overlap with serious depression:

In midlife, people need to be aware of symptoms of serious depression, such as:

• Change in eating habits
• Change in sleeping habits, fatigue
• Feelings of pessimism or hopelessness
• Restlessness, anxiety or irritability
• Feeling of guilt, helplessness or worthlessness
• Loss of interest in activities once enjoyed, including sex and hobbies
• Thoughts of suicide or attempts at suicide
• Physical aches or pains such as headaches or gastrointestinal upset that don't respond to treatment

Others have posted that Tebow should wear Ezekiel 25:17 (from Pulp Fiction) against Tennessee.

How about seeing Ezekiel 26:19-21 against FSU?

For thus says the Lord GOD: When I make you a city desolate like cities that are no longer inhabited, when I churn up the abyss against you, and its mighty waters cover you, 

then I will thrust you down with those who descend into the pit, those of the bygone age; and I will make you dwell in the nether lands, in the everlasting ruins, with those who go down to the pit, so that you may never return to take your place in the land of the living.

I will make you a devastation, and you shall be no more; you shall be sought, but never again found, says the Lord GOD.
