large in spotlight Tim Tebow’s ego grows and What was your favorite commercial?

Posted by parvin at 20:43

Former Florida Gator Tim Tebow is fast, powerful and makes a great deal of noise — and he has had his fair share of publicity. Whether he is crying on national television or nuzzling coach Urban Meyer, the nation is fascinated by him.

However, many of us have had enough of the controversy over Tim Tebow’s much-anticipated Super Bowl ad Sunday night and his unending off-field commentary.

Did your favorite win?

No, silly, not the New Orleans Saints (who did win) nor the Indianapolis Colts (who did not). We're talking about the important stuff for this morning's coffee-break gabfest. Who produced the best commercial for Super Bowl XLIV?

Was it one of the annual powers such as Budweiser, Doritos or GoDaddy.com? Or did an underdog sneak to the top, such as 2009's "Crazy Pets" spot for Pedigree Food For Dogs -- its first attempt at cashing in on Super Bowl fame.

The most pregame hype went to Tim Tebow and his mother, Pam, for their 32-second statement on abortion. The controversy was that the (actually quite subtle and, truthfully, a little cheap-looking) message was against abortion, as Pam Tebow had been advised by some physicians to have an abortion to protect her health. She (and all Florida Gators) were glad she chose to give birth. Tim Tebow made it clear that he was happy, too.
