You’re wrong. Luck is on OUR side and that long haired dude that is always smiling and making commercials is on THEIR side. Get it?
Go Blue.

The same fool who has been on and off the proverbial “bandwagon” so often he had to change his screen name at least 3 or 4 times. Check.

God only gives you the opportunity to play. That illegal forward pass (since he admitted that he “pitched it”) was both lucky and a missed call by the refs.

He was totally smiling while he said this and it was obvious he was being sarcastic. The article doesn’t mention that.

Very true, but since Griffin is religious, I wouldn’t call it “sarcastic” so much as “tongue-in-cheek”. Griffin clearly does not believe that there was really some kind of divine power influencing events on the football field last night, and was merely jokingly using a phrase from his personal life to describe a great team effort and a couple of lucky breaks that led to a huge win for his team. I can’t guarantee it, but I’m pretty sure Griffin believes God is literally on the Redskins side as much I believe that not washing my jersey has literally been responsible for the winning streak.

At least one player from each team has said something along those lines. Looking forward to reading the next 31 headlines!

Well put. Very surprised at how this is a story at all. And given that it is, even more surprised at how it is drawing so many strong responses.

Has no one ever noticed how 80 percent of professional athletes cross themselves after a big play or just before the start of game/race/at-bat? Religion is a very strong force in the South; the Midwest; and the African-American community; and until those segments of our country stop producing athletes, and the majority of our professional athletes hail from upper-middle class Vermont, Long Island, and Southern California, athletes will continue to make passing remarks on religion, as well as inoffensive religious gestures before and after important plays.

He doesn’t believe that God was getting involved in the Redskins game. Everyone knows that God is too busy punishing the Jets for not starting Tebow.

RG3 looked good last night. Him, Luck, and Wilson seem to be doing very well this year and I hope all of them succeed to keep the NFL going strong.

I think we could agree that all 3 can make a strong case for ROTY!!!

RG3 is a great QB but tell him to ask Mike Vick if choosing continual bootlegs & scrambles downfield are prudent to long-term health as a QB.

He made them just like the Gmen players. I believe He wants both to succeed. He even cares deeply for the atheist who put down His believers. That is central to the gospel story!

To quote a movie line, “What a collosal blunder”. This kid, along with Luck and Wilson, could be the face of the NFL for the next 10 years.

Cuz I saw Redskins win thanks to Eli “Mr Personatlity” Manning taking a stupid intentional grounding penalty that backed the G men up 10 extra yds making it too long a field goal for Tynes. Or was it because the long snapper can’t snap the ball. Or was it because Giants allowed 207 rushing yards to two rookies. Or was it because the Skins held the Giants to 17 rushing yards and 3 pts in the second half.
Hmm, I guess I can’t be certain why the Giants lost…

The liberals aren’t going to like that and will probably ask obama to add an amendment the U.S. Constitution which prohibits anyone from saying the word “God” on national or local TV.

Surely those who remain faithful through such trials are deserving of His blessing?
