"I PRAISE YOU 24/7!!!!!! AND IS THIS HOW YOU DO ME!!!!! YOU EXPECT ME TO LEARN FROM THIS??? HOW???!!! ILL NEVER FORGET THIS!! EVER!!! THX THO . . ."
It has long been a source of annoyance to me to see an athlete praising God when he wins, thanking God for giving him the talent to win the game. If there actually were a God, the rest of us should not be worshiping him, but asking him why he hates most of us, and loves the Heisman Trophy winner so much.
And until now, you never see a guy from the losing team say "God really screwed us today." or "God must just love the Patriots more than the Buffalo Bills". So, I find Johnson's rant against the imaginary invisible man in the sky quite refreshing. Hopefully, we will see more of this. Why would you worship a guy who gave someone else way more than he gave you? You would have to be an idiot!
I have always subscribed to the idea that "A good athlete always blames his equipment". Well, now let's just change that to "A good athlete always blames his deity". And be sure and ask your religious adviser who God likes this weekend, before you call your bookie!

I've often thought of a corollary to this that's more serious, in the great scheme of things, to a football game. When there's an accident of, say, a church bus, 3 kids are killed and 6 survive, a parent of one of the survivors inevitably blathers into a microphone, "God loves my child and wanted him/her to live." In their grief, you never hear parents of youngsters who didn't survive say, "God hated my kid and caused the van to roll over just to kill him/her."
