Waiting on the red carpet at the ESPN magazine event Friday night, you would have thought Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt arrived when Tebow walked through the metal detector and set off a shutterbug frenzy.

Deciding not to do any interviews, but rather just pose for photographers and video crews, Tebow had no idea that the real fan mob would descend once he stepped foot inside the party.

No one was more aggressive when it came to getting the young football star’s attention than “Extra” TV host Maria Menounos. The Tebow enthusiast talked with the player for more than two hours before convincing him to “Tebow” with her.

“I was his first,” Menounos told me the following day. “He told me at the party he had never ‘Tebowed’ with anyone else before, ever.”

TIM TEBOW and MARIA MENOUNOS tebowing

The ‘Firework’ singer’s Christian pastor parents, Mary and Keith Hudson, reportedly want to set her up with the Denver Broncos player following her split from husband Russell Brand in December and Katy gave a flirtatious shout-out to the sportsman by dedicating her song ‘Peacock’ to him on Saturday (04.02.2012).

Before singing the lyrics which include the words “I wanna see your peacock, cock, cock, your peacock, cock”, Katy said at the performance at DirectTV’s Super Saturday Night, “This goes out to Tim Tebow”.

Katy, 27, also hinted she is ready to move on from her 14-month marriage, by saying “Everything feels brand new.”

Katy’s parents are said to have targeted Tim as a potential new son-in-law because he is “above all, a good Christian”.

A source said previously: “Katy’s mom firmly believes the best cure for heartache is to quickly fall in love again. In her mind, Tebow is the perfect guy for her daughter. He’s handsome, charming, intelligent and above all, a good Christian.”

However, Tim wasn’t the only footballer Katy flirted with on Saturday, Cam Newton of the Carolina Panthers caught her eye as she presented him with the award for Offensive Rookie of the Year at the National Football League Honors.

She said: “You’ll be the first straight man I’ve had a photo with in a long time, so live up to it.”

“I know for a fact that Tim is not going to be a part of it,” Robbie Tebow said. “That’s being resolved.”

Parsley teaches that God wants the faithful to be rich. Last year, he asked followers to donate more than $1 million to ward off satanic attacks. In the 2008 presidential election, Republican Sen. John McCain disowned an endorsement from Parsley after learning the pastor called Islam an “anti-Christ” religion.

Parsley’s gathering is called “Contending for the Faith Weekend.” Texas televangelist Kenneth Copeland, who also preaches the prosperity gospel, is another featured speaker, according to the event website.

Mark Youngkin, a spokesman for Parsley, said the quarterback has a contract with the event organizers, who have asked Tebow to reconsider. Youngkin said national advertising for the event had just been approved Tuesday.

“The ball’s in their court at this point,” Youngkin said.

Also, on Tuesday, TLC said it would produce “Preacher Wives” about the women behind the men who run congregations and hold some pretty big sway themselves. The show should have plenty of entertainment value considering the producers are also behind “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” but EW reported some of the women step up to “sermonize.”

The show presumably won’t have an advertiser like Lowe’s making the high-profile decision to pull ads as it did with TLC’s “All-American Muslim.” Which leads to the suggestion that Tebow and a marketer like Lowe’s would do well together in an ad that preaches an uplifting tolerance angle.

Tebow, who led the Broncos to the playoffs for the first time since the 2005 season, comes in at No. 5 among NFL players in marketability in the survey.

The event will be held on March 15, at Christ’s Church-Mandarin on Greenland Road.

The evening will feature a sponsor dinner, silent auction and pre-program tailgate, and a live program with Tebow.

Advance ticket purchase is required for attendance, and tickets for the public go on sale at 6 p.m. today through www.ccajax.org

 
From Tebowbelieve.com:
Join us for an unforgettable evening featuring Tim Tebow, Heisman Trophy winner and Denver Broncos quarterback. As special guest for our 17th Annual Auction and Fundraising Gala, Tim will share how to BELIEVE in the unbelievable. Born to Christian Missionaries, Tim has been open about his faith during his extremely successful career on the football field. Despite his love for the game of football, it remains third on his priority list in life, behind his relationship with Jesus Christ and his family.This motivating, educational and entertaining evening with the two-time NCAA National Football Champion is a fundraiser for Christ’s Church Academy, and all proceeds go towards fulfilling our mission of making disciples through excellence in academics, athletics, and the arts.

“Due to the injuries, it looks like he’s a no-go,” Worthy said.

Tebow played through rib, lung and chest injuries he suffered in Denver’s 45-10 divisional-round loss at New England.

At the start of the third quarter, Tebow tore cartilage on his first rib where it attaches to his sternum, bruised his lung and had fluid buildup in his pleural cavity, an NFL source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

He won’t need surgery, is expected to make a full recovery with some downtime and his offseason training program shouldn’t be affected in any way.

I was delighted to be asked by Denver’s NBC news affiliate, KUSA – 9News, to comment on leadership qualities that business professionals can take from watching this emerging sports star. Here are some of the qualities I think most notably reflect Tebow’s personal brand:

1. Conviction and Values
In any interview of Tim Tebow, we see him communicate with strong conviction. He is passionate and committed to his faith, his team and the strength of his personal values. As we talk about in personal branding, being able to articulate your personal values and show consistency in action towards living them builds your credibility.

2. Authenticity
When interviewed after a win, or a loss, Tebow shares a genuine and authentic appreciation of the situation. We don’t believe he is hiding behind a facade or putting on a “game face” when addressing audiences – from the media, to fans to fellow team members. We feel we are seeing his authenticity.

3. Consistency
Similar to his authenticity, Tebow represents himself consistently with his values. He believes in Christian principles, and they guide his actions towards the people he interacts with. Always. He tells us that he believes in community and giving back. We see evidence of this in the numerous hands-on efforts he delivers through his charity work and philanthropy. His consistency makes him believable and trustworthy.

4. Humility
There is a vulnerability and humility when Tebow is interviewed that makes him very likable. When complimented on a win, he immediately thanks others – from his Lord, to his team to the fans. He doesn’t hog the spotlight; instead he celebrates the success of others. The business leaders I work with strive for conviction of values, authenticity, consistency in actions and humility. In the professional community, we know that collaboration, buy-in and healthy competition come from being able to form relationships that are focused on a common goal and are achieved by acting with integrity. As business continues to navigate the turbulent economy, and particularly with the exciting election season beginning, we can remind ourselves that similar to Tim Tebow (and the entire Broncos organization), there is no predicting the outcome of the game. We can, however, ensure we live and act with integrity, share responsibility and move forward in building our personal brand from a position of strength. When we stay focused on the personal qualities we bring to the table that make us unique, compelling and relevant to target audiences, we build the desired reputation that attracts the opportunities we desire.

The Patriots defeated the Broncos 45-10.
