    Tim Tebow Had 'A Great Time' With Jimmy Fallon

    Weeks after Jimmy Fallon mocked Tim Tebow in a parody performance of David Bowie's "Space Oddity" (as "TeBowie"), the Denver Broncos quarterback appeared on the late night show and deemed Jimmy's performance "pitchy."

    "I tried to have fun with it," Tim told Access Hollywood, during an interview in Indianapolis on Thursday of his "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" experience. "I think we gave each other a hard time and it was just something that was real relaxed, real casual and very enjoyable."

    Adding, "I hope he just didn't take offense to it. He was very funny, and we just sat back there and had a few laughs and it was pretty cool."

    The NFL star said he had a great time with Jimmy and his audience.

    "It was a lot of fun and what a great guy," Tim said. "He's extremely nice and very funny, and it was a great crowd as well. [I] had a great time."

    The 24-year-old outspoken Christian also weighed in on spurring the phenomenon of "Tebowing" - (striking a prayer-like pose on one knee) -- a position he can often be seen assuming on the sidelines during games.

    "I think it's cool," he told Access. "It's something that people are thinking about and I'm just proud to be part of it and people thinking about prayer. A lot of pretty cool people have done it, so it's been fun."

    As for his amazing first year in the NFL, Tim said despite all of the fame and attention, he keeps his ego in check.

    "You know, something I realized a long time ago was just because you play football doesn't make you any better or any more special than anybody else," Tim told Access. "We're just blessed to play a game that we love and I'm very thankful to do that."

      So nice to see a class ack like Tebow. What a refreshing change.

      Uh maybe because he put his football talent & goals ahead of his #$%$ Sometimes it's far better to be successful than laid! Anyone can get laid....but not all can live their dream & be successful!

      Correction in the article: 2011 was Tebow's second year in the NFL... he did get a lot more playing time than he did in his rookie year of 2010, giving the misconception that 2011 was his first year.

        Bob,
        Do you masturbate thinking of Tebow cupping your balls?

        2nd year in league but he actually has started less than 1 year in the league!! He started 4 games his first year and 11 his his second not counting play off,I think this is right!! So actually he has started no more than Cam Newton.. Congratulations to Cam for Rookie!!

      There are literally thousands of gorgeous women in Indianapolis who would have sex with Tebow at the drop of a hat. The man has incredible will power.

      I lived in Wellington, FL while he was playing for the Gators. He was dating a girl in town and I had the occasion to talk to the man. He was quite possibly the nicest person I've met. Even though I liked Notre Dame and said I hoped the Gators lost he still offered tickets to a game and later won the BCS title. Class act who deserves nothing but the best in life, yet doesn't expect it. Very refreshing.

      Dylan W, I do agree with you, Cam is one of the most talented Rookie that I've seen in a long time, maybe ever, but Tebow has the "It" Factor on & off the field, his faith & deeds are unlike any other that I have seen playing in the NFL, Off the field he has helped to start 13 Hospitals around the World, and an Orphanage in the Philipines, and Tebow is only 24 years old! He has probably done countless other good deeds that we don't hear much about. On the field, even with the raw talent & no offseason training, and coming in mid season, he has won more games than Cam has, it does take a team effort but remember, when Tebow became the starter, the Broncos had a Defense that were ranked 25th,and were 1 & 4, or 4 & 17 (If you count last years record also), and Tebow did get them to the Playoffs! I think that another reason could be that everyone expects Cam to be a winner, with the talent that he has, every one has high expectation of him, and anything less is unexciting. For Tebow, no one gave him the time of day yet he had a stretch of miraculous comebacks, a stretch that I have never witnessed in all my years of watching football, Tebow became a symbol for all those were ever told that they can't do it, and then proved everyone wrong, and that is what Heroes are made of! I'm quite sure in the long run, Cam will win more Super Bowls than Tebow, Cam is so talented that it's spooky, but Tebow will always be that guy that may not be the most talented, but people love cheering for him due to the fact that most average people have experienced naysayers telling them they're not good enough, and deep inside we all want to prove the naysayers wrong! Tebow will probably improve in the offseason, by how much, we have yet to see, but I do look forward to the start of next season, and what it may bring!
      Go Tebow! Go Cam!

      Tim Tebow is just another NFL quarterback. Does he really rate all this publicity? I don't think so. I don't think these little stories are all that imporntant. Yawn...let's move on!

      how is this news? cam newton had insane rookie season and this guy, who can barely throw a ball, gets attention.
      • Ninja Hacker 3 mths ago
        Cam Newton won less games, and Cam played the whole season! Yes, Cam probably has better talent than Tebow, in fact Cam is probably one of the most talented Rookie QBs that I have ever seen, but Tebow has the "It" Factor, and he wins games!

      Saint Teeboow is in love with God so if he ever marry to a young lady he will ask god for a virgin birth.

      People give him a hard time about his beliefs but he appears to take it all in stride. He seems well spoken and down to earth - can't fault him for that (plus he's darn cute!).
