    yeah, it's always reassuring when im sitting on the couch watching a football game to try and take my mind of what a shit state the world is in and i get reminded by those athletes that, while god isn't doing much for the starving homeless of the world, at least he's keeping an eye on the colts to make sure those millionaires get their due in the big game.

    Odds were that a Christian would win a Superbowl eventually.

    I was damn happy to see him win. He really does seem like a classy guy.

    Leave it to someone to be a jackass and make an assumption that the guy can't be genuine because he is a wealthy celebrity.

    He's Minnesota (U of Minn) nice, but all that damn pontificating is, well...i agree with the above posts on the matter.

    I'm pretty sure he was referring to the athletes thanking God for helping them win like he really cared that the Colts won with all the crap going on around the world. Leave it to someone to make a jackass assumption.

    ive no doubt he is very genuine, and his money matters little to me. i think it every time someone wins a sporting events, grammy, oscar, or anything else. "id like to thank god"... like god was sitting there watching going "you know, the bears have great D, but there's something about those colts... i gotta give some love to peyton and dungy, they deserve it!" it's just funny.

    So wealthy athletes shouldn't thank God for their success because they are wealthy atheletes?

    I would think the all-knowing and all-powerful would be able to keep tabs on the Super Bowl, the homeless, the war in Iraq, and every other little thing in the world because said being is all-powerful.

    It isn't about rules for gratitude. It may be about rules for honesty. Hey, he put the work in, he did a good job, so, if anything he should be thanking himself.

    God is within. We are all capable of godliness. What that has to do with the game of football is practically nil.

    The Bears were obviously on the "naughty, not nice" list.

    Oh c'mon you two.

    I don't think that's what the original poster of the thing of, er, what you're replying to, is, um, centered toward. I think it was a fair question.

    Except for Ladanian Tomlinson. And even Peyton Manning. Gayle Sayers back in the day.

    Yeah. I shouldn't have backed that question actually. I apologize to the thread. It wasn't part of the Dungy program. I have to give him at least that much credit, unlike that particular poster.

    Now go get me a big diamond necklace, dammit.
