When Las Vegas oddsmakers set the line on NFL games, the SportsEye wonders if they factor in which team God is rooting for?
Sound crazy? Not to the hundreds n maybe thousands n of zealot Kurt Warner fans in St. Louis. They might travel to Phoenix to lay palm fawns in Warner’s path when he shows up for Arizona Cardinals training camp later this year. They think that God sent Warner to Arizona to cast a plague on The Pharaoh Mike Martz and his devilish minions at Rams Park.
You can hear in their voices that they believe divine guidance will make Warner’s spiral tighter, his receivers faster and his offensive live stronger. Cardinals coach Dennis Green should hold prayer meetings instead of film sessions.
When Warner returns to St. Louis for one of two showdowns, it will be fitting that the game will most likely be on a Sunday. If the game is on Monday Night Football, Mayor Francis Slay might need to declare a religious holiday.
KFNS “The Bottom Line” co-host Kevin Slaten has offered his Sermon on the Mount and established the Cardinals as “the team to beat” in the NFC West.
There is giddy anticipation for Warner’s return to the Edward Jones Dome. Several sports talk show callers say the stadium will be 50/50 with Warner fans filling half the seats.
While Warner probably won’t ride a donkey into town, if he turns out to be the savior in the desert, it might truly indeed be a miracle.
God must have been busy when Warner barely beat out rookie Eli Manning for the starting position at quarterback for the New York Giants and He certainly was probably dealing with some other matter when Warner was benched.
But this time God will be watching, say Warner fanatics, and the outcome will be a new, glorious chapter in the Book of Bill Bidwell.
