Tebow To Trademark Tebowing

Dropping to your knee like Tim Tebow might cost you.  The New York Jets backup quarterback is trademarking "Tebowing," a move in which he goes down on one knee and holds a clenched fist against his forehead while praying during games. After Tebow led the Denver Broncos to a handful of fourth-quarter comeback victories last season, "Tebowing" swept the country, with actor Robert Downey Jr. Even doing it at the Oscars. Tebow, is a devout Christian and says the "trademarking of tebowing" is not for financial gain, but "to control how it's used, and make sure it's used in the right way."
