At first I thought his Tweet was just typical overreaction, sure to be blown out of proportions by a sizable chunk of the online sports media, but then my friend Josh made a great point – why don’t more athletes blame the higher powers for their mistakes? So many superstars in college and the pros thank various deities when they win, so we should expect more of them to actually blame those same holy creators when they make boneheaded plays, too, right? I mean, passing the buck is a superstar athlete tradition, so Peyton Manning should be readily pointing his finger to the heavens when he throws four interceptions and Dwight Howard should shake his fists at the clouds when he misses 10 free throws. Maybe it’s blasphemy, but I’m intrigued nonetheless.


Didn’t this guy ever watch the X-Files? It was Smoking Man that made him drop it.
Holy shit, I forgot about Eric Moulds. He was horrendous.
Its about time! I think George Carlin had a bit about this one. He said he was tired of Christian athletes praising God for every touchdown. According to those athletes God is undefeated. You never hear an athlete say that God made me drop that pass in the endzone, or God tripped me up in the backfield. Somewhere Gerogie is smiling.
Why so blasphemous?

//Steve Johnson fantasy owner now losing by 5, instead of winning by 5 thanks to dropped TD
///there is no God
You only ever see players mention God when they’re thanking him for a moment of success. I tip my cap to Steve Johnson for being one of the pioneers in bucking this trend.

haha…I thought the same thing. It’s about time someone shook up the system.
This wouldn’t have happened if Kurt Warner was his QB.
/loves that someone is finally calling out God for something
Did you see what God just did to us?
@OCRT: It was Carlin or somebody else who said, “We were doing just fine until Jesus made me fumble!”
Funny then, prophetic now…
