End zone displays of piety during the playoffs

[Bragi]

I can't stand it when players kneel and bow their head to thank God that he/she/it allowed that TD pass to be caught.

Drives me nuts.

On a similar note, I wonder who God wants to win on Saturday night?

Thanks. Your call is important to us.

1. I only care who god wants to win in NASCAR

I'm a elitist like that.

2. Just once, I'd like to hear...

"I woulda made that touchdown, but Jesus twisted my ankle! Fuck you, Jesus!"

[Bragi]

3. Or how about a challenge decided because...

The receiver made a football move before they made their religious move, it was completed pass followed by a fumble and recovery, so the team Jesus now likes more has possession, first down.

4. I'd like to see them drop into prayer formation after the hike

and wait for the ball to be delivered into the end zone. Who are they to doubt their Lord? Ask and you shall receive, faith of a mustard seed, and all that happy shit.

"Hut, hut, hut... NOW PRAY LIKE MOTHERFUCKERS!!!"

7. Good one! /nt

5. If it gets much worse...

I am going to start boycotting football.

6. It got very bad

after the NCAA championship game. Gene Chizik (Auburn head coach) and his players all made sure to say that gawd is the reason they won.

8. And who knew that Jesus hates the Pats

I thought everything about the Pats screamed "Jesus Saves" but apparently not.

9. Then there's Steve Johnson.....

Hey, if people can thank God for the things no supernatural deity would ever give a shit about, then I say Stevie can blame him for it too!

And BTW, how is it that God gets ALL the credit for the awesome but none of the blame for the crap? And how does one go about getting that gig anyway????

10. It helps to be imaginary. n/t
