1.That's right....hardly 1° of separation between the two.

Baseball is right there in Genesis....In The Big Inning....


2. But to see the results of a religious background in folks central to sports, check out the coach who won last night's SuperBowl....Andy Reid.


"Andy met Tammy when they were both students at Brigham Young University in the early ’80s and the two began dating.

Andy’s future wife came from a family of devout Mormons while he “grew up a not-very-observant Lutheran.” However, after meeting Tammy, Andy converted and became a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

The pair tied the knot on Aug. 8, 1981.
Tammy and Andy have welcomed five children: Garrett, Spencer, Britt, Crosby, and Drew Ann. When Andy got into coaching, Tammy became a stay-at-home mom."

Wow, I never knew Reid was such a classy guy. I feel even better now about the Chiefs winning last night.

"'I Want to Thank the Lord': These Super Bowl LIV Winners Give God All the Glory

After the victory, Chiefs Chairman and CEO Clark Hunt said, "I want to thank the Lord for blessing us with all these incredible people to bring this trophy home."

Chiefs Quarterback Patrick Mahomes was named MVP of the Super Bowl, carrying the ball into the end zone on his own for one of the Chiefs' crucial touchdowns. He's easily one of the most electrifying players in the league and he says his faith in God is the source of his success.

The 49ers Running Back Raheem Mostert played a key role in helping his team take the lead earlier in the big game. Mostert says his faith in God helps him weather the bumps and blows of life.

"So I've got a Bible verse on my chest, Psalm 23:4-6, 'Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil. For God is with me, thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.' And that right there in and itself explains my life. Everything that I done went through. I done been through the darkness. And I've been able to come out with the light," Mostert had told CBN Sports before the game.


With a little over two minutes left in the third quarter, Mostert scored a touchdown and San Francisco took a commanding 20 - 10 lead over Kansas City.

Guard Stefen Wisniewski was dropped by the Philadelphia Eagles in late August. At that low point in his football career, he placed his future in God's hands, and God showed up big, allowing him to be picked up by the Chiefs.

"The best place you can be in life is the center of God's will. And the center of God's will for my life was unemployed for 5 weeks. And it was a challenge and He was with me and I leaned on Him during that time and I trusted Him, praised Him. I knew that if He wanted to, He could exalt me again and it was just my job to humble myself before him, and here I am about to start in the Super Bowl. That's all because of God," Wisniewski told CBN before the game. Now he's a Super Bowl champ once again!"
