    God cares about college football.

    Allah only cares about cricket.

    What about Dearborn, Michigan, huh!

    They practice in the middle of the night during Ramadan! I bet their coach prays to Allah!

    He probably wouldn't bake a cake to celebrate Caitlyn Jenner winning an ESPY either!

    Further proof that religious texts cause more trouble then they solve.

    I think these coaches would be all right if they'd just say that they're off the clock the last five minutes before kickoff. Then, if someone has a problem with them praying, or not praying, they can simply say, "Hey, I'm not on the clock then. If you want to tell me what I do with my time then, you're going to have to pay me overtime."

    I always go back to "just ignore it like the guy isn't even talking." Got me through 17 years of Catholic Mass.

    Wrong kind of football and that's only for the refs.

    Come to think of it, shouldn't players earn extra for overtime sessions or extra innings?

    A coach can't go "off the clock" five minutes before kickoff. Especially when he's directing his team.

    Good point, but can I still tell Sharon Gaber to shut the fuck up?

    Heck, there are still some small towns where a preacher does an invocation before high school football games. Though they never do one before basketball, baseball or other sports. I guess Jayzus doesn't love those sports.
