The Super Bowl is finally over and I have to admit that I'm glad it's over.  The hype over the two African-American coaches is done.  We should never have to address the issue of a coach's ethnicity again.  By the way, anyone remember how much media coverage there was of Tom Flores, the first Hispanic head coach to win a Super Bowl, and his ethnicity when the Raiders beat the Eagles in the early '80s.

I was extremely happy to see Tony Dungy and Peyton Manning finally get what they richly deserved, but there was a moment that made me cringe.  When Dungy was talking about being the first black coach to win a Super Bowl, he said that it was more important that he and his friendly adversary Lovie Smith were Christians and there were several mentions of the Almighty and the Lord. 

Yes, I consider myself a Christian, but one thing I don't do is put that on display for everyone to see.  I would never deny anyone the fundamental right to worship as they choose fit, but by the same token, I don't expect to have to listen to them testify about their beliefs either.  Religion - like politics and sexual preferences - is a private matter. 

Besides with the problems in this country and on this planet, I don't think God much cares about football.
