Back in the early 90s the Jacksonville Jaguars made a run in the AFC and got to the AFC Championship game against the Patriots.
After each win Boselli would give thanks to God and spout all of the language listed in the post. However after they lost to the Patriots he said absolutely nothing about God. My first thought was I guess God only loves winners. Sadly no one ever calls these athletes out when they do this. I have no problem with faith but at least the athletes could be consistent with thier praise of God whether they won or lost.
