He attracts non sports fans which is a demographic they don't normally get.

Can you just go away?

Go to ShaggyBevo like you said you would, and don't come back

OP, Do you really need a scientific explanation for this?

Tebow = viewers, viewers = ratings, ratings = money. It's really not that hard to figure out.

it seems like you've been here long enough to know this has been discussed ad nauseum around here...so one wonders why you really started this thread?

Tebow is in North Jersey, "representing" NYC.

add North Jersey and NYC population: bigger than Louisiana, Miss, Alabama, Ark all together.

TV sets = NYC + North Jersey

Does Tebow really equal viewers, though? Everytime I see his face I want to punch a litter of down syndrome kittens. But that might be more a factor of ESPN than Timmy himself.

holy shite, this is getting ridiculous. Are they really having a B-Day special for Tebow? They do realize this not only makes people tired of him but the network as well..

That's the question I've had for a while. Take out the whole being in New York thing, who are these viewers? Maybe I just don't hang out with a lot of religious people, but I don't know anybody that enjoys this Tebow overload.

This plus now that he's in NY, especially, now that he's a member of the Jets (for some reason ESPN favors the Jets over the Giants).

Well even though you and lots of people I know feel the same way, ya'll don't outnumber the people who love watching this...ESPN sees the ratings...we don't. They know what they're doing. Makes it less entertaining for us, but unfortunately, we don't matter.
