New York Jets backup quarterback Tim Tebow hadn’t been in the news for three whole days, so he decided to announce that he was changing his dog’s name, as that is apparently something that people do. Because he planned to play in Denver for the next 10-15 years of his career, Tebow originally named his dog Bronco, but since he was traded to the New York Jets, he wanted to honor the city that he doesn’t live or play in by re-naming his dog Bronx.

And while we could argue the rights or wrongs of changing a dog’s name – it’s wrong, by the way – all day, maybe we should just wait and see if Tebow explains this decision and many others in his very own upcoming E! 30-minute special.

“Tebow is a pop culture phenomenon and the interest in his life expands beyond the world of sports. He’s a compelling personality and has a fascinating story,” a network spokesperson said. (Via NFL.com)

The E! Network, which has also aired specials on Casey Anthony, Lorena Bobbit and Tonya Harding, is no stranger to sports. The network has previously aired specials including, “Which Athlete Should Kim Nail This Week?”, “Mark Sanchez: Teenagers Are The New Lombardi Trophy” and “The 50 Greatest Moments In Locker Room Dick Shots History”.

Tebow also gave the world a glimpse of what his special will really be about – faith, family and hopefully frittatas – when he appeared on Good Morning America yesterday to tell the world how much he loves his mom. Then he changed her name.

Deanna Favre, wife of Minnesota Vikings quarterback and amateur photographer Brett Favre, went on Good Morning America yesterday to discuss a book she just wrote with pastor Shane Stanford, entitled “The Cure for the Chronic Life: Overcoming the Hopelessness That Holds You Back.” Clearly, all of us at With Leather have already added that to our book list behind “Chicken Soup for the Fart Joke Soul” so I’m assuming everyone is cool if we just overlook the book details and get right down to the juicy part of the interview – Brett’s misconduct.

GMA’s Robin Roberts is all like, “Yo Deanna Favre, did your husband really text pictures of his old, wrinkly dong to a butterface that was working for the New York Jets?” And if you’re wondering if Deanna put Robin in her place, well… girlfriend, you know she did:

“Obviously, I’m a woman of faith, and faith has gotten me through many difficult struggles and it will get me through this one. I’m handling this through faith.”

OH SNAP, SON! Those are like chained heat prison fighting words right there. Deanna is, of course, referring to her battle with breast cancer, so I have to imagine that if faith helped her through such a terrible ordeal that she only needs a teaspoon of faith to help get her through something like her pervert husband sending a photo of his Papa Smurf to Jenn Sterger. Well, that and the knowledge that she now controls all of Brett’s money. That probably helps, too.
