Look for "Play Tim Tebow" on downtown Denver billboards

Jesse Oaks and seven of his buddies have been saving their money for almost a year for a trip to this season's Super Bowl in Indianapolis. But after the Broncos lost their opener Monday night, Oaks and his pals concocted a new plan for how to spend that money: Buy two billboards on which to implore Broncos coach John Fox to make a change at quarterback.

"We believe in Coach Fox. We're just tired of Kyle Orton," Oaks said. "We were sitting around after Fox said he didn't hear the chants for (Tim) Tebow and we figured if he's deaf, we hope he's not blind."

Oaks, who lives in Independence, Ky., said he called several billboard companies and was told it would cost $10,000 to purchase two billboards in downtown Denver. He posted his plan on a Broncos message board Wednesday and said he received hundreds of e-mails from strangers, most of them offering to chip in.

"It just feels like we're a team that's settling for mediocrity," Oaks said. "We're not blind. We know when we see good football.

"We see other teams making good plays and we don't see that from our team. We can sink or swim with Tim Tebow. Why wait a few more years?"
