Super Bowl 2012: Tim Tebow Would Make Biggest Game Even Bigger

Forget Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers and Ray Lewis. Those men are old news. Tim Tebow rules today's sports world and would make the biggest game of the year even bigger.

Super Bowl XLVI sells itself. We all know that. Still, it needs a man of his caliber as the focal point of Super Sunday to drive unthinkable numbers and interest.

Imagine the two-week media storm that would engulf the world leading up to the epic game. You wouldn't be able to contain yourself.

Neither would I, and I'm loving the thought of it.

Tebow is more than a quarterback, more than a Denver Bronco and more than just a sports figure. You can't go a day without hearing about Tim Tebow. It seemingly doesn't matter who you are—sports fanatic, politician, kindergartner, middle-aged housewife or elderly person—you know who Tim Tebow is.

If he willed the Broncos to the Super Bowl, it would undoubtedly lead to record numbers. The NFL and all potential sponsors are having trouble wiping the drool away from their mouth. With every magical and heroic comeback the phenomenon grows and eyes are opening.

Tebow is the real deal. He's not a fluke or a farce. He is a legit quarterback and sports figure, but he's more than that. He's the epic "American Dream underdog" story we all love. Day in and day out, he is doubted by millions of haters. 

Nobody drives interest like Tebow does right now. He is Brett Favre, LeBron James, Tom Brady and Tiger Woods rolled up into one highly gifted young man. It doesn't matter who you are, you have an opinion of him. No matter how hard you try, you can't look away. No matter how much you wish he wasn't around, he is great for the NFL's continuous growth.

After a lengthy lockout, Tebow was exactly what the NFL needed. Now, they need him to be the driving force for this year's Super Bowl to expand the NFL audience like never before.
