Per the Facebook page of the former Broncos quarterback, Tim Tebow is not speaking at the Republican National Convention.

“I just got back from the Philippines and I wake up this morning to find out I’m speaking at the Republican National Convention,” Tebow said in a video on his page. “It’s amazing how fast rumors fly, and that’s exactly what it is: a rumor.”

A rumor reported by the New York Times based on a leaked roster confirmed by two sources who may have been mistaken or who may have been having some fun.

Tebow said he wants to make a difference in the biggest way possible. Maybe one day that will be in politics, but not yet.

But Colorado still has Republican Senate candidate Darryl Glenn, who is a confirmed speaker.

Glenn wowed with a speech at the state convention, and maybe he’ll wow again on the national stage.
