Terry Bradshaw

While watching the NFL Network, they were doing a show about Football & Religion. It was interesting.

Kudos to Terry Bradshaw, telling us how he doesn't like the whole invocation of God and personal religion displays during games - the type where the players praise the lord or jesus after a touchdown or good play. He asked why they don't do the same thing when they don't win or make a bad play. Good point Terry. See my post: "Miracles" a couple of posts ago for my same analogy about 12 of 13 miners dying. God got the credit for one saved, but doesn't get the credit for the twelve who died. Why not?

Mike Holmgren asked his players to do their little religion schtick back at the hotel, not at the stadium. I guess they were gathering together just before the game at the stadium and some of the players would be left out due to not wanting to participate or whatever reason. Instead of just banning it, he came up with the good solution to just have them hold their little prayer service back at the hotel. That way, the "team" would not be divided just before the game.
