Redskins QB Robert Griffin III after big win: God is on our side

Can't begin to explain how idiotic RGIII sounds saying stupid shit like that. God is on our side? So I suppose he's not on those kids side getting blown away in Syria, or on the side of those starving kids in Africa. I guess God wasn't on his side in the Seattle game when he tore his ACL, causing us to lose the game. Guess god had money riding on Seattle.



I have to admire what Sonnen had to say about praising "god" after a victory.

"You know, these guys want to talk about God. 'Oh, I want to thank God. I want to thank God.' Listen, I'm a God-fearing man, go to church every Sunday and have since I was a boy. But if I ever found out that God cared one way or another about a borderline illegal fist-fight on Saturday night, I would be so greatly disappointed that it would make rethink my entire belief system."

You do know he is not actually saying God is on the field playing the game.

Thanks Captain. I think that's quite obvious and I never implied such a thing.
