DENVER -- Tebow Mania continues as we get closer to the Denver Broncos - New England Patriots matchup on Sunday.The talk started more than 10 days ago when NBC asked to "flex" or move the afternoon game from CBS to Sunday Night Football. Ultimately, the NFL decides whether games will be flexed and decided to leave the Broncos-Patriots game on CBS in its original time slot.CBS responded by saying it would send its No. 1 play-by-play man, Jim Nantz, and analyst Phil Simms to Denver for the game, according to AzCentral.com

Two New York high school athletes have been flagged with a penalty for paying tribute to Tebow.Twin brothers, Connor and Tyler Carroll, got students together at Riverhead High School to "tebow" in between classes.

Rick Perry said he wants to be the Tim Tebow of the Iowa caucuses.At Thursday's debate in Iowa -- the last before voters in the state vote Jan. 3 -- Perry said that, like the Denver Broncos quarterback, he's been underestimated."There are a lot of folks that said Tim Tebow wasn't going to be a very good NFL quarterback," Perry said. "There are people who said he didn't have the right throwing mechanism, or that he doesn't play the game right. And he won two national championships. And that looked pretty good. And we're national champions of job creation back in Texas." Read more about the story.What Does Tim Say?
"I don’t turn on my TV too often right now. It’s exciting to be a part of, not because of all the hype or anything, but just to be a part of a team that has such great camaraderie and great chemistry and cares about each other, works together and supports each other -- offense, defense, special teams. That’s definitely something special, and I’m blessed to just be a part of it -- and very thankful as well," Tebow said on Wednesday."There is definitely a lot of hype around it [the Patriots game] now, which is a good thing if you use it as momentum and fuel," Tebow said. "Obviously, we know our crowd will be fired up for this game on Sunday, and that will definitely be exciting. But bottom line is, you have to kind of try to block it out and just try to focus one day at a time and try to improve and get a little bit better."Report a typo or inaccuracy
