Losing a football game in heart-wrenching fashion to an underdog. Usually an unlikely comeback in the final quarter of a football game. Derived from Tim Tebow of the Denver Broncos.
To suffer a humiliating defeat, especially after outplaying your opponent or a holding a lead for most of the game. Generally involves one or more freak, gut-wrenching plays that lead you to wonder if a higher power was at work.
Brian: "I can't believe we lost..."
Steve: "What happened?"
Brian: "Their quarterback went 0 for 14 until 30 seconds left, and then heaved a ridiculous touchdown pass that sent it into overtime."
Steve: "And?"
Brian: "We got the ball first and were driving down the field easily, only to have our running back fumble it away. Then their kicker booted a 67 yarder to win it!"
Verb: To get Jimmered, i.e., to succeed at something in an exceptional manner. Named after BYU point guard Jimmer Fredette and adapted to Tim Tebow. It is said of Jimmer that he is within three-point range the moment he steps off the bus. Similarly, Tebow has a chance, and perhaps even a likelihood, to win a game the minute that game is scheduled.
