Despite being named the Denver Broncos’ backup quarterback this week, Tim Tebow isn’t hurting for endorsements. In addition to deals with Nike and EA Sports, this offseason he made his commercial debut as a Jockey underwear spokesman.

The overrated signal caller, known for his weak arm and strong religious beliefs, modeled the man panties in both print and TV advertisements to the delight of Denver fans.

Not everyone was excited to see the ads, including former Bronco John Elway.  “I personally think (cornerback) Champ Bailey has the nicer body,” said the Hall of Fame gunslinger. “I’d much rather see what he’s working with underneath those shoulder pads.”

Despite his critics, Tebow seems excited by the buzz surrounding the risqué underwear campaign.

“I love getting to show off my pecs,” said the former Heisman winner.  “It’s what Jesus would’ve wanted.”

The past two years haven’t been kind to Tiger Woods.  After being the #1 golfer in the world for 331 weeks in a row, he’s currently ranked 28th.  And despite being a swinging ladies man while married, no one seems to want to date the mega-rich athlete now that he’s single.

As OMdoubleG previously reported, the 35-year old golfer was spotted at a speed dating event in a South Florida Holiday Inn last month.  Well apparently Woods didn’t meet his match, because his profile popped up on eHarmony last Wednesday and Zoosk today.

Tiger’s publicist was mum on the subject, stating, “Whatever or whomever Tiger does off the golf course is nobody’s business but his own.  And maybe Nike’s.”

Lakers forward Ron Artest, who was arrested for domestic violence in 2007, recently changed his name to ‘Metta World Peace’… and Jerry Buss isn’t happy about it.

“Ever since we locked out the players last month, they’ve been doing whatever they can to improve their image and gain fan support,” said the Lakers’ team owner. “I read that Lamar Odom went rollerblading with the homeless last week, and Derek Fisher just adopted a cat.”

So far, team owners are getting little flak from fans for trying to shave player salaries as part of the new collective bargaining agreement. An ESPN poll shows the public isn’t sympathizing with millionaire athletes in this down economy.

NBA Commissioner David Stern encourages fans to stay strong and not fall for blatant manipulation by their favorite players. “Artest is just one of several guys who’ve tried the whole ‘name change’ scam this offseason.”

“We have no ulterior motive,” insisted Flowers McSunshine, the player formerly known as NBA bad-boy Zach Randolph. “But I do encourage everyone to support our right to higher salaries so I can continue to fight terrorism.”
