re: Tebow to appear in Super Bowl commercial

It's thought to be an anti-abortion ad. Don't know the full content of it yet but here's a little more info...

Focus on the Family will air a 30-second television spot featuring University of Florida star quarterback Tim Tebow and his mother Pam, during the Super Bowl Feb. 7.

The Colorado Springs-based media ministry shot the ad with the Tebows Tuesday in Orlando, Focus spokesman Gary Schneeberger said this morning. It is set to air before and then again during the CBS broadcast of the game from Dolphin Stadium near Miami, he said.

Tebow and his mother will share one of their many personal family-affirming stories, Schneeberger said, but he wouldn't reveal which one. One such story could be her decision to carry him to term despite a life-threatening pregnancy in the Philippines where she and her husband Bob were serving as Christian missionaries.

Now, before we get all our panties in a bunch, let's keep in mind that CBS has the right to reject the ad, and has done so before with similar messages. And being overtly religious wouldn't make Tebow an anomaly in the NFL. Still, one wonders if a player whose talent will be considered borderline come draft day wouldn't be wise to keep out of any controversies in the meantime.
