Pat Robertson Shows Off Football Knowledge In Tebow Segment, Show Promptly Segues To Sex Trafficking Story

VIDEO
» 12 comments

After a pre-taped 700 Club segment on Tim Tebow Monday morning, hosts Pat Robertson and Terry Meeuwsen raved about the Denver quarterback’s outstanding performance Sunday night in the NFL playoffs, with Robertson remarking that it looked like Tebow had “lasers on his arm. It was unbelievable!”

Robertson then went deeper into his sports knowledge, noting a bit of trivia about Ben Roethlisberger‘s uniform number (it’s an homage to Denver legend John Elway) and praising Broncos coach John Fox for his play-calling.

“They might just take New England and go to the Super Bowl,” Robertson said, before taking a dig at all the experts who predicted a Pittsburgh win (calling out Fox’s Howie Long by name).

“It was a fun day!” Meeuwsen remarked.

“A-MEN!” Robertson gleefully responded.

Turning to the camera, Meeuwsen then introduced a story on sex trafficking in the U.S. It was one of the weirdest segues — from lauding Tebow and taking digs at Howie Long to sex trafficking — you may see today.

Watch Robertson’s deep sports knowledge, followed by the world’s most poorly-timed segue, below, courtesy of CBN:

    Put your money where your mouth is, Pat!  Oh that’s right: no gambling. Sorry.

    “Pittsburgh’s defense was tight, but Tebow was able to penetrate.  Speaking of which, thousands of young sex trafficking victims, and right here in America..”

    Does God tell Pat who’s going to win the Super Bowl? And does he tell Pat to keep it a secret?

    An intersting investigation would be an attempt to find out how much porn-watching and sex-trafficking goes on the the Bible Belt.

    It is not even close.  What is not on here is the fact that Utah is crazy about porn, per capita number one with a bullet.

    People, stop sending Pat Robertson money. He really needs info on nursing homes and Alzheimer Care units. Send him that info instead, please!

    Along with many of his lies Pat has made statements that he can do leg presses of 2000 pounds claiming that it was all due to his health drinks. I’m sure that many people were fooled into giving him money only to learn that almost everyone can “do” the leg presses that he really was talking about. Pressing the gas pedal of his car..at least that’s what I think.

    I blame it on Pittsburgh’s Tight End, Heath Miller.
