It set the world abuzz. 

Mentions of 'Tebowing' 'praying' is happening everywhere. Don't believe me? Just check out Tebowing.com. 

After New York quarterback/running back/special punt protector Tim Tebow started 'Tebowing' - it's where you kneel down on one knee and place your head down - Panthers QB Cameron Newton wanted to one up his former Florida Gators teammate and come up with his own celebration.

Packers QB Aaron Rodgers? Oh he has one too. His infamous celebration belt.

Rookie Redskins QB Robert Griffin III is having a spectacular year and oh guess what, came up with 'Griffining'. 

However, unlike all these quarterbacks, Tebow is putting a trademark on his buzz-worthy on-field celebration.

"I knew that this stuff that had been talked about, but I didn't know everything had gone through," Tebow said in a statement Friday. "I knew it was something that was cool for me in the past; but it's not something I do as Tebowing. It's something I do that's prayer for me and it got hyped as Tebowing. I think one, more to control how it's used as well. Make sure it's used in the right way."

It seems Tebow's marketing team is seeing something us fans seemingly don't. While I was a little intrigued why 'Tebowing' is now being trademarked to the quarterback himself, it does make sense. 

There's been a flood of 'Tebowing'-related merchandise, from T-shirts to any other sort of accessories. Tebow's representatives have even sent filed patent requests to Tebowing.com and TebowingGear.com to stop their websites. 

The whole point of this trademark, according to Tebow, is to not make money off 'Tebowing', but rather to prevent others from profiting off his good name. 

Now if I were Tebow, I would probably do the same thing. Thus, Tebow warrants one supportive Strahan.
