Hope Goodell did not hear that.

And at least one of his players did the same thing!

This was right after they awarded the trophy - It was the first thing out of the coaches mouth - and pretty sure the 2 guys who came after him also expressed similar sentiments.

I’m not sure the Lord cares who wins a game. But proclaiming Him your Lord and Savior is outstanding! Case Keenum proclaimed his faith loud and clear, too.

Amen.

Coaches should proclaim Him when they lose too.

Life, the game, and being able to play at that level are all gifts.

Couldn’t have escaped Goodell that two in-command white quarterbacks threw for nearly 1,000 yards to multiple sure-handed white receivers, while being guarded by quick-thinking white interior linemen in an offensive shootout. The horror.

Folk certainly did and he wants to be a Minister when he retires

I believe Ertz also thanked God in his interview

But the owner was vocal about the NFL protests too . . .

He did

Winners - pink, eagles - pink was incredibly professional and eagles played a good game.
Losers - Justin Timberlake and the patriots - sad to say the patriots played a horrible game. Justin was a bore

It was no coincidence that Hall of Fame cornerback Darrell Green was the one who brought out the Vince Lombardi trophy. He is one of the greatest men ever to step on an NFL speech, and gave the best Hall of Fame induction speech I've ever seen:

"To Jesus be the Glory. Thank you!"

This is so heartening to hear.

So all the NFL and Cupcake Kaepernik and Kneelers have done is forgiven now?

I saw a post-game interview with the player who came from Miami. He said the Eagles were the most faith-based team he's seen.

One cannot say that about the Jets, if their treatment of a prior quarterback is any indication.

I thought I was the only person who thought halftime was a big bore. Glad I wasn’t the only one.

Plenty of black interior offensive linemen on both sides, no? Dems are party of race and identity politics. Not GOP. Don't fall into that trap just to over-reach to make a cute point.

Further, there are non-white QBs who are elite in every sense of the word.

I'm a Pats fan but that is just awesome - I know that both QBs are vocal Christians, too.
Too bad Philly fans are the nations worst.
