Well, no matter what your beliefs are, isn't it a bit disingenuous to  
thank the "Lord" for their win and proclaim themselves "blessed",  
etc.?  Of course, it's not only Nicky who does this, as most of the  
NFL players do too, but to me it screams arrogance.  It's as if they  
believe they are God's chosen and that God wagers on the NFL action.

Perhaps this is a kooky assumption, but I think the Almighty should  
be engaged in more important things than cheering for his favorite  
football team (or MotoGP rider, for that matter).

And speaking of feeling blessed, how is it that some unfortunate  
people can yet be so darn classy about getting life's shorter end of  
the stick?  For example, rarely we hear/see athletes behaving as  
classy as this:
