Tim Tebow to star in Die Hard with Bruce Willis?

Tim Tebow finally got the starting quarterback job for the Denver Broncos, but is he leaving football to pursue a career in acting?

On Jim Rome’s ESPN Radio Show, Fox Filmed Entertainment CEO John Rothman threw Tebow’s name out to play Bruce Willis’ son in the movie Die Hard V. Willis’ legendary character John McClane, combines grit, determination and fear. Rothman asked Rome, “What do you think of Tebow in the lead?”

Rome argued, “He might be too nice, but no one would work harder to make it work.” Rothmans says he expects many young Hollywood actors to audition for the part. “We have to find just the right guy.”

If Tebow does get the part, will he wear his John 3:16 eye black?

Madonna to play Super Bowl half time show

I am willing to be most NFL fans do not have “Like a Virgin” or “Material Girl on their iPods, but they will be hearing those songs at this year’s Super Bowl.

SB Nation is reporting Madonna has reached a deal with the NFL to play at this year’s Super Bowl half time show. Although Mage’s rep says there’s “nothing to confirm at this point,” the Super Bowl would coincide with the singer’s Spring 2012 album release.

Madonna has built her career on controversy, causing many NFL insiders to be suprised by the move. The FCC came down hard on the league after Janet Jackson’s wardrobe malfunction in 2004. CBS was slapped with a record breaking $550,000 fine, and the NFL banned MTV from ever producing a Super Bowl half time show again.

While Madonna isn’t the easily identifiable sports fans such as past acts like Bruce Springsteen and Tom Petty, the 53-year old singer did have a well publicized romance with New York Yankees Alex Rodriguez!

Ndamukong Suh and Javid Best save football team’s Homecoming

Detroit Lions Ndamukong Suh is known as one of the fiercest players in the NFL, but the defensive tackle showed he has a softer side when him and teammate Jahvid Best saved a Detroit high school’s Homecoming.

On Monday, Detroit’s Frederick Douglas College Preparatory Academy’s locker room was burglarized. The intruders stole over 20 helmets, pads and cleats, leaving the football team with no equipment to practice with and the possibility of having to
forfiet the school’s Homecoming game.

Suh, Best, Quicken Loans, Boby Max Ford, Xenith Helmet, and two Detroit suburban high schools raised money and donated new equipment for the Hurricanes. The new gear was hand delivered by none other than Suh and Best before the game, which Douglas went on to win, 50-0.

“I was so pleased and thankful … because most of these young men, to have things taken from them, it was very personal,” said athletic coordinator Michael Hamlett.
The Detroit Lions are 4-0 for the first time since 1980 after over coming a 24-point deficit against the Dallas Cowboys. Looks like America’s team was just defeated by America’s sweetheart.

Mom’s Facebook post causes sons’ football team to forfeit three games

More Facebook drama that does not include the new timeline layout… A mom’s Facebook post caused her sons’ high school football team to forfeit three games when it was discovered the boys did not live in their school district full time. Rodney and Ryan Belasic were declared ineligible by the Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association after  their mom posted a status, “How can two boys mess up their room as badly as they do when they’re only here on Saturday and Sunday?”

The status triggered an investigation, resulting in the Vikings, who were ranked third in division Class 1A, to forfeit three games. The Vikings had been 5-0 overall.
