Rejected Tim Tebow Super Bowl Ads

University of Florida QB Tim Tebow is the star of an ad for right wing, right-to-life organization Focus On The Family that will air during this Sunday’s Super Bowl.  The ad will tell the story of Tebow’s mother who was urged by doctors to have an abortion due to health complications, but pressed on and gave birth to one of College Football’s most successful Quarterbacks, not to mention a two-time Heisman Trophy winner.  Before settling on the idea that will air Sunday, Focus on the Family probably disposed of a few potential commercial treatments. Here are just a few they may or may not have come up with:

1. The Option- Tebow is in formation with a pregnant woman as center.  The Florida QB calls out his cadence and snaps the ball as a mother is giving birth.  The ball in this case is a baby and as Tebow cradles the baby and runs out wide he has the option of keeping the baby or pitching it to an adoptive family as a defender whose name plate reads “abortion” bears  down on him.  The screen cuts to black asking, “Which one will you choose.”  Fade up from black to see Tebow standing in the end zone with his family celebrating a touchdown.

2. The Backup- A starting QB gets sacked and injured in the final minute of the game.  On the sidelines is Tim Tebow.  His coach tells him he’s going in.  He straps on his helmet, but when he joins the huddle we see an aborted fetus in his place with a mini Tebow jersey on.  The team breaks huddle and goes into formation. The ball is snapped over the head of the aborted fetus and the defense picks it up and runs in for the touchdown.  The screen fades to black and reads…”Abortion means game over.”

3. The Draft- Tim Tebow is at the NFL Draft. The commissioner repeatedly steps up to the podium announcing other players being taken by teams in need, most of them QBs.  Through time lapse photography we see the draft wearing on and the venue becoming more empty until Tebow is alone.  He becomes translucent so that he appears to be a ghost or at least an unsigned free agent.  The screen fades to black and reads “Choose Life…and please draft Tim Tebow. He’ll do okay in a pro-style system.”
