TEC: I don't know why anyone would get all annoyed or offended by it, unless they want to be offended. (or perhaps unless they were the ones who failed to stop the touchdown, lol)
From the Christian perspective, do you think Jesus just wanted to be annoyed or offended and that's why he counseled against showy displays of public prayer?
BTS:"And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full." http://bible.cc/matthew/6-5.htm
TEC: In either case, it doesn't sound like its Tebow you have a problem with... just God, if God answers that prayer and not others that involve people being hurt.
My problem isn't with god, it isn't even with those who invented the different gods, since I could expect that from primitive man.
"In dark ages people are best guided by religion, as in a pitch-black night a blind man is the best guide; he knows the roads and paths better than a man who can see. When daylight comes, however, it is foolish to use blind old men as guides."
- Heinrich Heine (Quoted in God is not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything - Christopher Hitchens)
"I believe religion, generally speaking, has been a curse to mankind — that its modest and greatly overestimated services on the ethical side have been more than overcome by the damage it has done to clear and honest thinking." HL Mencken
Swap "religion" for "uncritical belief in a detailed description of an 'ineffable' being." Tebow is just a bold manifestation of a... notion that robs me of peace.
