09:58 AM ET 04.07 | New Jets quarterback Tim Tebow is really elevating his game. The wildly popular and outspoken Christian QB will deliver an Easter sermon at a Texas church Sunday, a spectacle expected to draw 30,000 people. Tebow, perhaps as much known for his public demonstrations of faith as his game-changing scrambles from the pocket, will give the 10 a.m. address at Celebration Church in Georgetown, Texas, local TV station KVUE reported. "Obviously it's our Super Bowl," said Joe Champion, pastor at the Celebration Church. "Easter is the resurrection of Christ, which we celebrate in our faith. We feel like it's going to be a testimony to the community. We want it to be a family event." Champion told the station he's not sure why Tebow picked his church, but did say the quarterback did not request to speak on Easter Sunday.

So Tebow's a minister now? And what exactly does this have to do with Jets or even the NFL for that matter?

Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition, boys: we are in TEXAS! Home of Hail Mary's and Prima Donnas, but not the Immaculate Reception! Suck eggs. Pittsburgh owns that one!

Is Tebow an ordained minister? I think the late great Reggie White was.

Yes, White was, Wamu. You're correct!!!

Right on DJ. Personally I think Tebow is using his faith to cover up the fact he thinks girls are yuckie(ha-ha).

Some obscure pencil sucking reporters at the New York Post can't let go of their jealousy. That's all. Tebow is famous and they're not!

While I do take more than my fair share of pot-shots toward You Know Who truly as a person I have nothing against him. Now as a starting NFL QB, well that's another story.
