Clearly god can't let both teams win. It all depends who prays the hardest or before the other team. Ha ha! <br /> Seriously, though. You'd think these big husky men who put on such a tough persona wouldn't be afraid of an invisible man in the sky. Just like evangelicals in the military. I think these are the weakest of the bunch. <br /> <br /> I give kudos to those teammates who refused to participate. Prayer is something that should not be allowed in public like seeing someone poop. What!?

Then humans fix the problem Kurt’s nonexistent god could not.

Hey, Andre Wadsworth even has a small Church right at the Scottsdale Airpark that I used to go to and they have a lot of crazy beliefs (cool events/activities though). I still like the people that go to that Church though, very friendly or at least I think they still are. I'd still have to go chuch with them to hang with them though or else somebody there would probably tackle me. Hehehehe, it’s exactly that reason why the Cardinals lose so much.

They always lose because they are so spiritual or what-have-ya. Hey, the Cardinals don’t get paid to pray for victory, they get paid to practice for victory.
