New York’s latest Jet is sure to be a big hit on Broadway and if he can draw fans to the Meadowlands like he does on his personal time you can bet the Jets will be the most popular team in the NFL next year.

The Tebow of Liberty!

That’s crazy!  It’s not like he hasn’t talked to Jesus before.

[via KUVE.com] One of the biggest names in sports who also happens to be a devout Christian is heading to Georgetown for Easter Sunday.

On Wednesday, the first signs of Tim Tebow fever hitting Georgetown could be seen on 60 acres at the Celebration Church. Scaffolding and trellises were erected Wednesday on the church’s property for the Tebow visit.

The New York Jets quarterback will speak for 20 minutes during an outdoor worship service that could draw as many as 30,000 people for the Easter Service beginning at 10 a.m.

The NFL’s exclusive contract for NFL gear with Reebok is set to expire April 3rd. That gives you just a week to grab up some gear before Nike gets their hands in the gears and most likely will start messing with things. So look forward to 184 different Cincinnati Bengals jersey variations and fluorescent green Seattle Seahawks unis on a weekly basis.

Reebok is wise enough to see the deadline on the horizon and they have started to quickly churn out the official New York Jets Tim Tebow jersey to capitalize on the popularity of the newest Jets player.

So if you’re looking to grab a Tebow Jets jersey you might want to wait until the switch. The new Nike’s might be better but worse case scenario is that there are some old Reebok versions on clearance.

[via Advertising Age]Seven major apparel partners will start new contracts with the NFL on Sunday, April 1. On Monday, April 2, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell will cut the ribbon and ring up the first sale as the league opens an NFL pop-up shop in Manhattan to herald the launch of its new apparel deals.

Finally, on Tuesday, April 3, in Brooklyn, Nike will unveil all 32 team NFL jerseys at an invitation-only event.

According to several executives with knowledge of the deal that was finalized in October 2010, Nike is paying between $1 billion and $1.5 billion for its five-year agreement to be the league’s official uniform and on-field apparel provider, as well as to produce sideline-personnel apparel and fan gear.

Matt Powell, an analyst with SportsOneSource, a Charlotte, N.C.-based online sporting-goods industry newsletter, said Nike could make half of that back in year one.

“Reebok did about $500 million [annually] at wholesale at the height of the deal, and last year did probably half of that, what with retailers winding down and nobody wanting to get stuck with product,” Mr. Powell said. “With the new uniforms, and refilling the pipeline, Nike could do as much as $750 million this year.”

Personally, I think the 40-yard dash is highly overrated and one of the most misued guides at the NFL Combines. That’s not to say it’s a completely worthless stat but for some odd reason over the last decade or so it’s just become the go-to stat to shout out when comparing players.

Robert Griffin III, the Baylor Heisman Trophy winner last year, shows us why the 40-yard dash might still be an important measurement. Check out RG3′s crazy 40 time here. He’s a former track star and it shows. This run clocks in at an explosive 4.38 seconds. Crazy.

For comparisons sake, check out the overlay of RG3′s time this year matched with Andrew Luck’s and Cam Newton’s time of last year. And we all know that Cam can book it in the open field but this kid if off the charts!

The last guy to run this fast, and the guy who still owns the record at 4.33 seconds, is Michael Vick. Not a bad comparison at all. Let’s just hope that RG3 doesn’t go down that same path as Vick. This kid’s got some heavy potential and with moves like this he’s sure to beef up his draft presence in the next month. [via]

Of course, not all studs have their best days at the combine. Check out the stumble and bumble by Vick Ballard of Mississippi State. Ouch! [via]

Fans in Miami with a good skill at Photoshop have created a billboard featuring Colts QB Peyton Manning decked out in Dolphins gear and a web address to a site dedicated to bringing the All Pro QBs skills to South Beach.

The Dolphins have had a conveyor belt of bad QBs running through their stadium for quite awhile and some fans believe just having someone as skilled and talented at Peyton can help turn the floundering franchise around.

So if you want to help out the cause, hit up Bring Manning to Miami to see if the Dolphins can finally land a QB that can get them into the playoffs. They’re not the first city to try to lure the injured QB.  Tennessee Titans fans pulled a similar stunt last month.  Come Home Peyton was a website created to bring Peyton back to the state he played college ball.

Personally, I think it would be silly for the Colts to ditch Peyton so easily but I’m amazed at the popularity of the guy still.  Not many people can just hint at being a free agent or trade bait and get several towns to start throwing money at websites and billboards to get their attention. Impressive.

Be Part OF “The Movement” and Make History – BRING MANNING TO MIAMI – This site has been created to help influence Peyton Manning and the Miami Dolphins that “Manning to Miami” is a movement and marriage that the entire South Florida community is behind. Tell family, friends (even enemies), tell co-workers, business associates to cast their vote and make a difference in Bringing Manning to Miami.

How many wins is Manning worth? When’s the last time we the fans have had an “impact” quarterback? What about the most cerebral quarterback of all time?

Get behind this movement and let your vote be your voice and make a difference!

By filling out this form you are casting a vote to bring Manning to Miami and a list of names will be presented to the Miami Dolphins and representatives of Peyton Manning.

BRING MANNING TO MIAMI

Not being a big sports fan and living in the city hosting this year’s Super Bowl provided Dustin Frey with a unique opportunity to capture the events and not feel like he would be missing out on all the fun.

This time lapsed video shows the downtown city of Indianapolis as it prepares for the Super Bowl including all the special events and concerts fans had to enjoy near Lucas Oil Stadium.

Proving that we can over-analyze the Super Bowl just as much as anyone, here is the ‘Five Crazy Super Bowl Predictions.’

5. You will hear and see Peyton constantly during the game.

NBC is carrying the Super Bowl this year and if you’ve ever watched a big game on their channel before or even the Olympics you know that they have a knack for drilling into the ground stupid story lines and constantly showing people during the game over and over and over like someone’s mom who flew into the event or an injured player.

Watching the Olympics on NBC is just painful sometimes and it doesn’t help that the Colts franchise QB, Peyton Manning, is due to be cut from the team in March.

This year expect the announcers to talk constantly about Peyton Manning. It’ll be worst than 3 years ago when Peyton’s endorsements caused every third commercial to star him.

The Super Bowl is in Indianapolis after all and Peyton’s kid brother is playing. But don’t focus on Eli too much, guys. Just keep talking Peyton as much as possible.

Expect the camera to constantly cut to Peyton watching the game from his suite every time something critical happens during the game or his brother Eli does something silly like throw an INT. You’ll probably see more of Peyton during the game than Eli.

4. There Will Be Tebow

Despite not making the big game, you can expect talk about Tim Tebow of the Denver Broncos. It’s just bound to happen.

There might even be some more Tebow Jockey ads airing during the Super Bowl to boot. But Tebow is a polarization talking point and the announcers are sure to keep bringing him up and show some clips and discuss his future despite the guy not even playing.

3. You will Turn to the Puppy Bowl at least once

C’mon man, at least one flip the channel over to Animal Planet. They’ve got the Puppy Bowl and this year there’s a twist. Piggies! If nothing else, turn over during the lame 2-hour halftime event and catch some real action.

2.Rob Gronkowski Will Break or Tie records

New England’s Rob Gronkowski is a beast. He’s one of the best TE’s in the business and if he keeps this up he’ll go down as one of the best of all time. Our prediction is that Gronk will challenge some of the receiving records in the Super Bowl history books.

To the best of my knowledge, the TE Super Bowl records that stand up to being crunched by Gronk are 11 receptions for 104 yards and 2 touchdowns, the most ever by a tight end in a Super Bowl by Cincinnati’s Dan Ross. His receptions, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns were all the most by a tight end in Super Bowl history.

1. Vince Wilfork Will Run With The Ball

In my opinion, one of the most underrated guys in the Super Bowl is New England’s Vince Wilfork. The 320+ lb defensive lineman is one of the key reasons the Pats are back in the big game and if there is a God up there I hope he grants us all this final prediction.

Let’s see Vince run the ball, either by INT or fumble or possibly a “Fridge” moment at RB. The big guy has run in the past and it’s a great site to see.

Eli Manning’s postgame interview after the Giants upset the San Francisco 49ers include a clip of the younger Manning using the phrase ‘You Know’ 29 times in the two-minute interview. Just three more and he would match the 32 completions he had during the game.

Baltimore fans are still in shock and I don’t blame them.  After holding in for a close game with the New England Patriots, the Ravens had a chance to go into overtime but Ravens kicker Billy Cundiff pulled a Scott Norwood after missing a 32-yard field goal with 11 seconds left.

Here’s one Ravens fan reaction to Cundiff missing the field goal.

Replays would show that the snap and hold were not perfect. Say what you will about Cundiff but the game is 60 minutes long and what happens in last 20 seconds isn’t what won or lost the game. The Ravens had several opportunities to take the game and they fought hard. I feel for Cundiff for being the brunt of the blame.

Millions of Tebow fans will be on the IR for the rest of the season after collectively jumping off the Tebow bandwagon all at one. The polarizing QB has struggled at the position and despite being a great runner and leader, he’s just not a good passer.

Maybe he’ll work on it in the offseason. And he can kick back at the local bar and enjoy his own Tebow Drink Special. It’s dead on, unlike Tebow.

Personally, I’d like to try that Bacon Bloody Mary. [via Reddit]

I think it’s only fitting that the media magnet of Tim Tebow is heading to New England for his next game because if there’s one team and fanbase that’s willing to knock the Tebow train down the ladder a bit, it’s the opinionated Pats fans.

Felger & Mazz have been getting ready for Tim Tebow’s arrival by starting off their show all week with “Awesome God”.

[via Musket Fire] With the “Our God is an awesome God” song being played on nearly every sports radio station because of Tim Tebow, the guys at 98.5 the SportsHub in Boston came up with their own version of the song, but with the words, “Our Tom is an awesome Tom.” They also changed the words to have a Patriots ring to it.

With only a day remaining till the game, this song should get you in the Patriots spirit.

Listen to the full three minute version here.
