We just witnessed a great sports weekend both in high school and professionally. Six local basketball teams took each other on at New Rochelle’s Monroe College in a Hoops for a Cure Tripleheader.

The first game pitted unbeatens Tuckahoe and Blind Brook against one another and Tuckahoe came out on top 55-26. New Rochelle took the second game with ease as the Huguenots beat Scarsdale 63-39, and Eastchester came from behind to win the nightcap 66-57.
The weekend was also phenomenal for local fans who were interested in the pros because the Knicks finally got back on track with two wins in Washington and Detroit and the Giants cruised passed the Falcons 24-2.

The final game of the NFL’s Wild Card Weekend was the best of them all as the Denver Broncos beat the Pittsburgh Steelers in the first overtime game in the playoffs under the new rules. The Broncos were led by controversial quarterback Tim Tebow and we have all seen the skit on Saturday Night Live and read about the former Gator but one thing is for sure; the man’s competitive fire can help heat the city of Denver throughout the winter.
Tebow threw for two touchdowns and 316 yards yesterday which is undoubtedly a great day but it should be noted that the number ‘316’ has its own special place in sports and religious history.
3:16 is a passage in the bible that has been referenced on signs and shirts at sporting arenas for decades now. We all know that Tebow’s faith is always referenced when his football skills are discussed but he himself has worn this passage on his eyes during college games.
The passage reads:
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
The Broncos seems to be imperishable this season as Tebow is now 8-4 since taking over as starter.
Next week the Broncos will head into New England while the Giants will kick off in Green Bay. Both the Patriots and Packers will be the favorites but the way the Giants and the Broncos are playing right now I wouldn’t be shocked to see Eli and Tebow advancing after next weekend.
