ADVERTISEMENT IDEAS: TEBOW OR NO TEBOW?

I have been intrigued by Tim Tebow since I first saw him play. I studied his background and found we shared the Philippines in common as well as a passion for life and football. As I watched him throw for 316 yards yesterday I couldn’t help but to recall the Rainbow Man who used to show up at NFL Games with John 3:16. I then did  quick math and saw that he average 31.6 yards per pass, again 3:16. Is this coincidence or is there a message to be be learned here. There are many detractors that will find fault with Tebow.His entire playing career he was doubted. I admire him for overcoming all the naysayers and being a leader on and off the field.

Media Relations: Send The Message

  Media relations is not a sometime thing it is an everytime thing.
