The NFL Loves Those International Roiders

Rockies Still Aware They're The Chosen Ones
So you remember how the Rockies talked about how they're a Christian clubhouse, and how it raised a big stink and they backed off and lowered their profile? Well, they're at it again, and they're legitimately claiming that their amazing late-season run is the result of God's will....
