Our resident Sports Columnist, John Reidy is back at it this week with another edition of his AV Club Denver / Boulder feature, Jock Itch. This week he gets on his knees for Denver's new football god, Tim Tebow.

Colin is the emcee of the South Stands Denver Fancast and maintains our Twitter and Facebook accounts.
