CBS Reacts to Controversial Tebow Super Bowl Ad

I am not a Florida fan but I am a Tebow fan. I met him at the Jacksonville Pastor's conference 2 years ago and he is as real as can be. That dude anint scared of anything. He knows that saying the things that he says and doing the things he does for his faith could devistate him in the press, but he keeps swinging. War Tebow, I just hope he dont end up on some lame NFL team like the Raiders, Eagles, or Falcons.

I would love to see Tim Tebow come into the league guns blazing and prove all the critics wrong. He seems like a great guy.

However, if I were a GM he wouldn't be anywhere near the top of my list come draft day.

while maybe on paper something like this may look good.... in practice i think it will be anti productive.
most of the people watching the super bowl will be males and of those a very high percentage will be drinking and any sort of message like this will be lost on them,they only want to be entertained,they really dont want to be preached to....i mean come on...it is the super bowl after all.

besides,this sort of thing is something PETA would do and although i agree with PETA on their message i disagree with the way they deliver it most times and for that reason i find it difficult to support them....i just hope the pro life people dont go that way as well.

Nah man, the Super Bowl this year will probably be watched by over 100 million people. It's not all fat sweaty drunk guys eating polish sausage and Doritos. There is a reason that ads cost like 2.5 million dollars for 30 seconds during that game.

I guarantee this ad will not be anything nearly as tasteless as the wackos from PETA would do.

so let me see if i understand what you are trying to say here...
its not all fat sweaty drunk guys like ME that watch the super bowl ?
well if you came to my place to watch the game you might just leave with a whole new perspective.

I remember reading this on MSN the other day. I don't see how murder of the innocents and the defenseless is controversial.

I know what you are saying, but when you are talking about the Super Bowl it's completely different because there are so many more people watching. During the regular season, I would say about 75% of the fans you described are the ones tuning in. However, in the playoffs and in the Super Bowl, you get all the casual fans on board.
