The Christian group Focus on the Family says the Tebows will share a personal story centering on the theme "Celebrate Family, Celebrate Life." "The group isn't releasing details, but the commercial is likely to be an anti-abortion message chronicling Pam Tebow's 1987 pregnancy." Whether it is a national or local buy is unknown.
Papa Johns International - Considering spots in-game as part of its agreement as the NFL/Super Bowl official pizza sponsor.

Good question. I'm guessing theirs might be one of the top. Maybe tied to Happiness Factory again? We'll see.
