John Harbaugh: God Makes Foolish The Wisdom Of The World (Specifically, Vegas Point Spreads)
"Where is the wise man?" John Harbaugh asks his team. "Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age? Does God not make foolish the wisdom of this world? That's what He did tonight, because we're the Ravens."
No, really. That's what he said — that God, in His infinite wisdom, favored the Ravens over the Jets even if Vegas didn't. I really have nothing to say about this except that the next time He sees fit to bestow His grace on a professional football team, He might also consider making the game a little more watchable. Oh, and for you heathens, the text comes from Paul's epistle to Corinthians, in which Paul adviseth to take the dog and the under.
