Joe Gibbs news

[Mississippi Hog]

I know he isn't the coach anymore, but he is still a Redskin, so this is relevant, I think. Watch the Republican National Convention tonight after the game. I was told that Joe Gibbs will be speaking tonight, I guess before McCain. I thought y'all might be interested.

[riggofan]

Further proof that the Republicans are now the evangelical party. Oh boy.

[Chris Luva Luva]

Unless Joe is talking Redskins football, I don't see how this is relevant to the Redskins franchise.

[Irn-Bru]

Did he?

Hey what happened with Joe Gibbs did he speak?

ST. PAUL –- John McCain and Sarah Palin’s election “would be a return to God’s word” and bring the U.S. “back to a spiritual revival,” Joe Gibbs, former head coach for the Washington Redskins and NASCAR race car owner, told the Republican National Convention Thursday.

In the most religious-themed primetime speech of the four-day convention, Gibbs, a grandfather of eight, compared a spiritual life to football.

To win in football, he said, one must have a game plan, and God’s game plan is the Bible.

“If you follow God’s plan, his Bible, his word, it leads to success. When I followed that game plan, I was able to have some of the greatest experiences in the world. Bad game plan leads to disaster. I can attest to that.”

Gibbs closed his remarks with one piece of advice: When tackling the big issues, “Wouldn’t it be great for someone to say, ‘I wonder how God would think about this?”

Wowwwwww...

If McCain is a return to "Gods word"... then would that make Obama the devil?

I thought we separated church and state hundreds of years ago....

I thought we separated church and state hundreds of years ago....

That's why our currency and our Courts read "In God We Trust"
Personally, I think Joe Gibbs has lost his mind. There's no way in heaven or hell I would back either one of these candidates as being a "Man Of God."

I haven't seen any Catholic priests and little boys in the Senate lately...

Personally, I applaud Joe for having the conviction to share his views, regardless of the venue.

I also applaud the McCain/Palin ticket for having the stones to allow such a "controversial" speaker to take the podium. Instead of steering away from faith-related issues, the openess (to a Christian voter like me) is refreshing.

Does it make them perfect? By no means.

Does it make them more fit to run this nation to openly display their faith? Not necessarily.

That being said, I prefer someone who backs their faith in God, and doesn't run away from it the moment it threatens their political career.

Thanks, Joe, for sharing your faith.

r,

Unlike you Christians, we Indians believe in only one God. However, we do hold to your Biblical commandment: Thou shall not take the name of the Lord, thy God, in vain, which means "in vanity," though some think it means cursing. We don't call attention to ourselves by proclaiming our faith before all mankind. How can this man, Joe Gibbs, break a commandment and still be thought a holy man? Will he be punished by his people for his vanity, which is worse than any I have heard of before.

Can he be forgiven for playing Mark Brunell because he and Brunell were sinners of vanity together? Why did this man Joe Gibbs break his promise to the quarterback Ramsey, who was better than Brunell and better than Campbell, who cannot find open receivers and fumbles many times. Why did not Joe Gibbs' God not tell him to draft young linemen. Was it because of Gibbs' vanity?

[JansenFan]

What does his bathroom sink have to do with anything. I have a vanity in my bathroom. Am I breaking a commandment?

[SkinsFreak]

God follows football and has opinions on the draft? cool.

[NC43Hog]

God follows football . . .

Yeah, just as much as he follows elections.
