Deadspin commenters: they'll be here all week...

... well, at least for today.


If you hadn't heard the news, John Parr is re-racking his hit "St. Elmo's Fire" to honor Tim Tebow. Here's the set-up:

The song originally written to honor Canadian Paralympic hero Rick "Man In Motion" Hansen is now paying tribute to another athlete who's on a roll who's inspiring people worldwide. John Parr, who earned a Grammy nom in 1985 for "St. Elmo's Fire," released his updated version yesterday featuring lyrics like:

You know I'm out there
Down on one knee
A prisoner
And I'm tryin' to break free

To which commenter Gamboa Constrictor responded:

That's funny.
"Canadian man in motion" is often projected as Tebow's future position.

Here it is, in all its mid-80s synthetic horn section glory.
