Did Anyone Ask?
There was an incident involving a high profile official at the University of Georgia. The official was caught DUI, with a woman…not his wife…in the car. He had red panties between his legs. He no longer holds the high profile position.
Today, an even higher profile position…head football coach…made a few comments about the incident. The last paragraph of the PR piece article went like this: And on speculation about how a new athletics director might affect Mark Richt’s future: “I don’t worry about those things, I really don’t. My focus is to do my job, and my focus is to be obedient to my Lord and Savior. That’s kind of what I do. And if that is good enough, great.”
This rubs PG the wrong way. To begin with, it is already well known that Mr. Richt is a super duper Jesus worshiper. A substantial number of the football fans in Georgia are Jesus worshipers. Mr. Richt is telling people what they want to hear. If his religion of choice were Buddhism or Islam, he would probably keep this to himself.
Second, PG has had a miserable experience with Jesus. This hideous religion has put a hurtin on PG. Having an overpaid jock motivator prattle on about his opinions does not help.
The third commandment says not to use the name of G-d in vain. To PG, this includes talking about religion when it is not appropriate. Statements like this cause ill will for Jesus, all for the benefit of the Football program at The University of Georgia.
The fishwrapper allows comments in the online edition. PG made this comment, using a familiar pseudonym. In the tradition of free speech, and brains for lease, others followed. chamblee54-5:53 pm-“and my focus is to be obedient to my Lord and Savior”. Mr. Richt is talking about his disgraced ex boss…a drunkard and adulterer, with lousy taste in panties. This is not a good time to drag in your religion. richt rules-5:54 pm- Chamblee- you are a complete JOKE!! GO DAWGS!!! Dawg 1-6:04 pm-Not even going to read what I am sure is some garbage in front of this post. You have to love CMR. He means it – he does the best he can and does his best to do right for the Lord. John-6:06 pm- Hey “Chamblee54″ – Richt isn’t “dragging his religion” into anything. He is, as are all genuine born-again believers, answering questions based on his Biblical world-view. It is relevant to the subject matter and (rightfully so) is a proper response given defining quality of his life. Agree or disagree, he is being consistent with his identity as a follower of Jesus Christ. So back off!!! Big D Dawg-6:21 pm-Chamblee 54, if you knew what obedience to the Lord and Saviour is/was you wouldn’t make such a comment. Kevin-6:24 pm-John, good post. I was looking through the comments to see if anyone responded appropriately to Chamblee 54. You did so I don’t have to. Well-said. For followers of Jesus, He is PRIORITY and everything else has to line up under that. Fire Mark Bradley-6:39 pm- I guess you can mumble a few useless words and use the name of Lord and Jesus Christ and all will be ok. I view religion as serious but very personal. Georgia is an evangelical State. CMR and most Georgia fans are a match made in heaven. Pardon the pun. I guess the weedeater bowl doesn’t matter. God, Guns and Political Hate-6:41 pm-and religious intolerance. Can you say the new Georgia Bulldawg nation!!!! Pictures for this feature are from The Library of Congress.
