I started this post under the assumption that I had heard something. But I heard it slightly wrong. I'm not as annoyed as I was, but I still find all the Jesus stuff irksome.

Here's what I was writing before I double-checked the quote in question:

Okay, I know this is gonna make me sound like some kind of hateful, atheist bastard. But I really don't want it to come across as that. I really don't care if people are religious (unless they're scientologists, and then I have no respect for them).

Tonight Tony Dungy (the head coach of the Indianapolis Colts, you sports hating bastards) said something during his trophy acceptance speech that irked me. When he was asked about how it felt to be the first African American coach to win the Super Bowl he said some of the same stuff he's said all week about how it feels -- nice stuff about he's not the first who could've won it. But then he said this: ""But again, more than anything, Lovie Smith and I are not only African-American but also Christian coaches, showing you can do it the Lord's way. We're more proud of that."

Hrmph. I could have sworn that when he said this, he said you can only do it the Lord's way. So, maybe I'm just a hater. But still, who the fuck cares? Is it really Jesus that made Addai and Rhodes unstoppable today? Is it really Jesus who made Rex Grossman have his regularly scheduled bad game? Did Jesus make it rain, causing 4 fumbles? Did Jesus get Hester to run back the opening kickoff -- the first time that's ever happened in a Super Bowl? Did Jesus decide that was to be the highlight of the Bears' night? Did Jesus make the MVP voters vote for Manning when he was not the MVP? Did Jesus make Vinetari shank that field goal?

Screw all this Jesus stuff. Maybe Jesus helped Dungy and Lovie Smith become nice, good people. But that's not what won and lost the game. Everyone knows it was the Miami hookers that infected the Bears defense with an STD that makes it burn when they pee. Combine that with the fact they were on the field for about 45 minutes in the first half (which is only 30 minutes long) and you can see that Jesus had nothing to do with it.
