Ed Rendell, former Pennsylvania governor, endorses Eagles signing of Tim Tebow

Only in Philadelphia would a former mayor and former Pennsylvania governor weigh in on the Eagles signing of Tim Tebow.

Rendell, a sports fan who has appeared on the Eagles post game show, endorsed the signing of Tebow in an article he wrote for the Philadelphia Daily News.
