So, I just watched the end of the football game between the Saints and the Vikings this evening.
With about 15 seconds left a receiver for the Vikings made a great catch for a touchdown to win the game.
When interviewed he was asked how he did it and he replied: "It was all god, he put me in the right place to beat the devil".
I guess his god had nothing better to do than get him that touchdown.
It annoys me a little when I hear that, and they say it a lot.
Does this bug anyone else?
Well watching the highlights you have to say the defending player missed his tackle by a mile,it looked like the devil made him see two recievers and he went for the wrong one,
God comments, pointing to the sky, etc, by athletes thanking god for spectacular performances annoys the “hell” out of me... but never blaming god for their failure to hold onto that winning catch or striking out to lose the game.
However, it was a spectacular 2nd half... now let’s all pray that the Phila Eagles beat those sissy god fearing Vikings next weekend.
I saw that game, and it was a really good, high scoring game. It does bug me when they say that. The amount of work they go through, strength training, game reviews, play reviews and practice, just to name a few, is amazing. That's why they can make plays like that. They don't blame God when they fumble the ball or miss a field goal. It makes no sense.
Yay! An Arian Foster quote. One of the few big/semi-big name NFL players to openly profess his non-belief.
Haha my brother in law was watching the same interview on his phone and I overheard the player make the same statements. I proceeded to tell my brother in law and my sister how I hate players and teams that pin their winning on god, it’s like he has a different favorite team every week.
Not at all, is his brain, his pulpit. What ever.
Don't watch it anymore. Sounds interesting though.
It's silly. It's bad and they should feel bad. I wonder how much of it is bullshit they say to please the bible thumpers.
I wonder if it's to please their mother or grandma.
