Tim Tebow just pointed out a very devilish fact ... tonight's NFL matchup is the 666th Monday Night Football game ... and it just so happens, Tim's team is playing in the game.
As the NY Jets prepare for battle with the Houston Texans ... Tebow just tweeted, "Looking forward to giving God all the glory in tonight's 666th Monday Night Football game. Romans 8:37-39."
Before you head to Google, here's the bible quote Tim referenced:
"No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, [a] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
We called The Devil for comment ... but he was too busy preparing for TMZ Live.

So the 730 number I imagine includes Playoff games and Special Airings of games (Like Season Opening games that have aired on Thursdays etc.) And as far as the Double Headers well it depends if you count that as one program or two.
Here’s hoping that Tebow plays like a beast. ;)
They’re saying it’s the 666th game, so double headers are 2.
This all shows why we should save the counting for the accountants.
See the problem is you have closed out the possibility that its a legitimate 666th something. Like did you consider its the 666th Monday MNF has aired NFL football on a Monday Night?
I used to read a lot of Robert Anton Wilson, which of course means spending time spotting the “rule of 5” and the “mystic number 23”. So yeah, I figure there’s some way tonight is the 666th something somehow, much like last week, and next week, and next year’s season opener. Once you get in practice on this everything fits into whatever number you want.
I forgot about the double headers that began in 2006 best I can figure, that would make this game 668.
But my math could be off.
Sounds like the MNF count is about as complex as federal income tax code....
666 - The Number of The Dyslexic Beast.
Did they still call it Monday Night Football if it was shown on Thursday night? I don’t remember.
I think it might have been shown on Saturday night if Christmas fell on a Monday. (This hasn’t happened too often...the season and playoffs used to be shorter).
I don’t recall when the Thursday night package started and then was sold separately either.
Yeah, Al Michaels liked to poke fun at it. Because MNF is the brand, so when a game is under that contract with that broadcast team it’s MNF no matter when the game is.
The Saturday MNFs were all playoffs, the contract included a wild card playoff game, which was always the 2nd game (Saturday prime time).
The current Thursday package is like 8 years old, maybe 9. There was another one in the late 80s that split games between TNT and ESPN, but you gotta be really old to remember that.
Will Arian Foster score 2 TDs to preserve my undefeated fantasy football record?”
If I could guarantee the answer to that kind of a question I sure wouldn’t be sitting here working on my computer for endless hours trying to keep my business afloat. OTOH, if we must lose a game, I would rather it would be one where Tebow was the winning QB than any other. I really wish he could go somewhere where he would be appreciated and his talents developed.
The account has been suspended, but she had a list a mile long of these things.
To all the people trying to count up the number of Monday Night games, remember that there was no Monday Night game the week after 9/11 and some games were canceled in 1982 because of a players strike.
Will Arian Foster score 2 TDs to preserve my undefeated fantasy football record?”
Sorry Charlie Tuna that we both didn’t win - but Foster did set some awesome records. That should count for something.
You were only 667 passing yards and 6 touchdowns off the mark. Better luck next time.
I plan to ride that horse all the way to my second championship. :)”
Yeah for everybody then. We are so fortunate to have Foster on our offense and J. J. Swatt (well deserved new name)on our defense. And hopefully the Texans will have their first championship!
The Jets need to dump Slowpoke Sanchez and give Tebow some real playtime. It they expect to win games... get rid of Sanchez.
You know we watched that NFL football game with our Congregation and we were all praying for Tim Tebow. But, Tim’s efforts to win the game and throw for all those touchdowns were stopped by that Rex Ryan fellow.
Brother Jed with his acute insightful perception found that Rex Ryan must be possessed by Satanic forces as throughout the game kept on using the F Word!
So, Brother Jed gathered some of us male church elders to gather around the TV set to attempt to cast those Evil F Word yelling forces out of Rex Ryan.
Once those forces were gone, we hoped that Mr. Ryan would see the light and put Tim Tebow in the game.
Led by Brother Jed we yelled at the TV trying to force the F Word out of Rex Ryan! But, the more we yelled and the women prayed for Rex Ryan, the more he would yell the F Word! He even yelled the F Word in front of Tim Tebow!
“Hey you F Word forces! You must cast away from Rex Ryan!”
And when those evil forces did momentarily let go of Rex Ryan, he put Tim Tebow in the game and Tim threw that long pass that was knocked out of the Receiver’s hands by that big mean man in the dark Houston Texan uniform.
We were hoping that the Texans would let Tim’s Chosen Receiver catch that ball and let him run down the field to score a Glorious Touchdown!
Instead, all that did was to cause the Possessed Rex Ryan to use the F Word again and again!
Maybe God is a Houston Texan's fan? He sure doesn't follow the Chiefs.
