Philly welcomes Tebow with pretzel shaped in his trademark pose

Tim Tebow, the quarterback best known for his evangelical head, nimble feet and inaccurate arm, is coming to the Philadelphia Eagles.

The saga of Tebow, who’s had a spotty National Football League career aside from a glorious (pun intended) run with the Denver Broncos four years ago, has been well-chronicled. It’s spawned a word, “Tebowing,” referring to the act of getting down on a knee and in a prayerful pose, often in unusual locations. (Visit the website devoted to Tebowing.)

Philadelphia is known as a town that, among other things, likes its salty foods. So it’s little surprise that an entrepreneurial pretzel-maker has already immortalized Tebow’s Philly phase in a savory treat:

No word yet of a Tebowing cheesesteak, with TMZ reporting that both Pat’s and Geno’s are less than high on the signing.
