Tim Tebow officially signed on today to be spokesman for TiVo. It’s the latest in a series of high-profile endorsement deals for the publicity magnet/NFL quarterback since WME snagged him from rival CAA in February to rep his off-field activities: public appearances, speaking engagements, TV, film, books, and his foundation. This video is his first official act as “brand ambassador” for the DVR-maker (insert joke here about how Tebow has more time to watch TV these days stuck behind starter Mark Sanchez on the New York Jets bench):

Televangelist Pat Robertson Slams ‘SNL’s Tim Tebow Skit As “Anti-Christian Bigotry”

It was probably Saturday Night Live‘s strongest skit last week, somewhat inexplicably buried in the last slot before the end of the show. But, if by airing the Tim Tebow sketch at 12:20 AM SNL was hoping to avoid controversy, it didn’t succeed. The skit, in which God asks the Denver Broncos quarterback, who openly professes his faith, to “tone it down a notch,” has gone viral. Yesterday it drew fire from televangelist Pat Robertson, who called it an example of “anti-Christian bigotry” in the country “that is just disgusting.” “If this had been a Muslim country and they had done that, and had Muhammad doing that stuff, you would have found bombs being thrown off,” Robertson said during an appearance on the Christian Broadcast Network, posted online by Mediaite.com.
