Free Agent Tim Tebow Hypes Freedom From Contracts in T-Mobile Super Bowl Ad

Oh it was a match made in heaven. Apparently. Free agent football player Tim Tebow hooked up with T-Mobile for two Super Bowl commercials hyping the brands contract free offering.

In the ads, we experience all the wonderful things Tim’s done without a contract: deliver babies, tackle Sasquatch, save the whales, bring world peace, ride a bull, don a mustache and do his own movie stunts, save puppies and stand in for KISS.

It’s all to illustrate how awesome life can be without cell phone contracts. But, really, T-Mobile, how often does the average cell phone user want to change plans? And I’m not talking about the vocal minority. I’m talking about the settled masses.

You’re not Verizon and you’re not AT&T. But we will hand it to you for spending $8 million on your Super Bowl ads. Hope it works out for you.

And Tim Tebow? Really? We miss Carly Foulkes. Can we please have Carly back? Or even that speed-talking cheerleader?

The loneliest moment in a long marriage isn’t a fight or a silence. It’s when you say something that matters to you and the other person responds with a subject change so smooth you almost don’t notice they never acknowledged what you said.

Right now in a nursing home somewhere a woman who ran a household for 50 years, raised 4 children, buried a husband, survived a cancer scare, and managed a family budget through 3 recessions is being spoken to in a voice usually reserved for toddlers by a 24-year-old who means well but has no idea she’s talking to a general who lost her army
