God's Super Bowl Pick

Who is God rooting for in the Super Bowl?

This CNN writer tackles the issue, but of course, not without a gratuitous shot at the Cubs.

And if God's affection for your team translates into more championships, then God really hates the Chicago Cubs. OK, maybe "hate" is too harsh, but there must be a reason the Cubs haven't won a championship in more than 100 years. What did the team do to deserve this much pain?

Even the Cubs crosstown rivals, the Chicago White Sox, won a World Series in 2005. And keep in mind that organization was involved in the infamous "Black Sox" scandal, in which some of its players took bribes in exchange for intentionally losing the 1919 World Series.

And thanks for bringing up the White Sox championship too. I needed another kick in the groin. Gets me going in the morning.

And also thanks for not actually answering the question. Who am I going to bet on now?
