Somewhere underneath with his arms extended ran Eric Decker, a kid from  Minnesota who is dating a pretty country singer by the name of Jessie  James, but that&#8217;s another story. Everywhere around them, in every  section of this old concrete monastery to sub-par football, the Tebow  faithful held their arms out wider still and sniffed, as if breathing  the same bratwurst-infused air as No. 15 was going to get them closer to  Our Lord and Savior, or something. They were not visiting, the  faithful. They were already home, looking for what they did not know.  The Denver Broncos were in field-goal range, and one of them cried&#8230;</p></blockquote>

I&#8217;ve been a bit busy (ok, lazy) and I haven&#8217;t had a chance to update <a href="http://www.garyandrewpoole.com">In the Fray</a>, but here are some of my post-fight articles from Pacquiao-Marquez III.    </p>
<p>I wrote four separate pieces (Bud Light and chocolate covered pretzels powered me through) about the fight, and I talked about the UFC on Fox (to the &#8220;consternation&#8221; of many) in my much <a href="http://bit.ly/vGe64F">loathed</a> (by the super touchie MMA crowd) Esquire U.S. piece&#8230;Yes, yes, my Pacquiao-Marquez pre-fight <a href="http://ti.me/sbnZcL">prediction</a> was dead wrong but please realize it was written before knowing about the pre-fight cell phone throwing incident <em>and</em> the pre-fight all nighter and some other stuff (some of you know what I am talking about, right?).  Annnnnnyways.  Enjoy some boxing writing.  There isn&#8217;t much of it out there anymore.  I work hard, I write hard, for you, the fans.  You&#8217;re welcome.</p>
