The NFL Network is running a documentary on the phenomenon
of Tim Tebow called "The Faces of Tebow." As a die-hard pro-
fessional football fan and a card-carrying Dr. Who devotee (since
Tom Baker), I am fascinated by the nexus where two lumps of
granite: Tim Tebow and the Face of Boe can come together in a
populist punchline. I love the linguistic gymnastics involved in
"The Faces of Tebow"; I wonder at the mind of the football loving
sci-fi geek whose brain connected the disparate dots to make
such a psychic connection; and I wonder how many die-hard
Tebow fans could (or would) make the extrapolation to the
iconic "wanderer without a home"...and vice versa.
