Everything Was Going Great, 'til Jesus Made Me Fumble.

I'm trying to wean myself off sports, it's too time consuming. I don't watch football anymore, I gave that up. I got tired of the interviews after the games, because the winning players always give credit to God, and the losers blame themselves. You know, just once I'd like to hear a player say, 'Yeah, we were in the game, until Jesus made me fumble. He hates our team.' - Jeff Stilson, comedian

I remember a player in the NFL (a receiver, I think) publicly denounced god after missing a pass. He was raised to believe that Jesus was the reason he won games, and since he lost, that logically meant that there was no god.
