Steely Dan Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 From bag boy to probable HOFer the guy is just a great story. I'm surprised nobody in Hollywood has thought about making a movie about him. Maybe after his playing days are over they will. He's a little over-religious but hey I might think divine intervention if my life was like his. He's fun to watch play. It's like rooting for the underdog.

stevestojan Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 If he would stop with the Bible thumping after every game it would be great. I cannot stand players that thank God after a win. Do you think God gives two flying craps about the outcome of the football game? And moreover, why don't you every blame God after a loss? Keep the Church stuff at, well, church. It makes the reporter uncomfortable, it makes the audience uncomfortable. How about thanking your offensive line and going to the locker room.
bartshan-83 Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 For some reason he rubs me the wrong way. Don't ask why cuz I don't know. Maybe because he married Gozer? Besides that, I've always liked him.

You know, for the first time, I saw a player do that this week...Colt McCoy. He didn't blame God for a loss (or in his case, his injury) but he did acknowledge that it was God's doing. Until that moment, I think the tally of "God invocations" was about 6 billion to zero in favor of wins vs. losses. But FWIW, doesn't really bother me either way...it was just nice to see some consistency.
Dan Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 I'd rather see him be a little over the top with religion and thanking God, than see him all thugged out, pimpin up to his pose.
Simon Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 Maybe because he married Gozer? Besides that, I've always liked him. If I drank coffee, it'd be on the monitor.
jwolf02 Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 I've always loved Warner. The Bible beating doesn't bother me although I understand why it would rub others wrong. But honestly, how many times a year do you hear it? Once? And thats when he does make the playoffs? Mainly, he's a great guy, great story, and a total gamer. Hard to not like that combo.
apuszczalowski Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 Maybe because he married Gozer? Besides that, I've always liked him. I always thought she looked more like Ma'am from Webster
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 Even though he's a "Christian Poseur?" You'd think a hater of belief such as yourself would be running for the exits when Warner takes the field.
loyal2dagame Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 Maybe because he married Gozer? does that make kurt the gate keeper?
bartshan-83 Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 does that make kurt the gate keeper? I think Sigourney's the gate keeper. Kurt is the key master.
The Dean Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 For some reason he rubs me the wrong way. Don't ask why cuz I don't know. I'm with you. The story and his act were somewhat interesting when he first joined the NFL, but I've had enough of it. He seems like a bit of a douche and his wife seems even worse. I don't know him, and I may very well be wrong. Just a feeling I have.

Total class act is Kurt Warner.

Yeah, it's not something you can put a finger on, but something about him seems inauthentic to me. He plays this part of of the humble altruistic man and then I keep seeing him acting like an asshat on the field, whining at refs, arguing with coaches and calling out his own teammates in front of the entire world. I don't get the sense he's the noble, selfless guy he tries to portray.

It is pretty pathetic, this board will go to no ends to support & justify the actions of a thug like Lynch; & that is exactly what he is, but people nitpick because warner brings up religion once in awhile. This guy is a hall of famer & one of the best that has ever played the position, & he has always done it with class & dignity. i usually agree with you deano, but your off base on this one imho. Good to have you back brother.
