God Made Johnson Do It

From James Alder, About.com GuideNovember 30, 2010

Follow me on:

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Steve Johnson has emerged as a dangerous threat in the team's passing attack as the 2010 season has progressed, with the highlight of his season so far coming in a Week 11 performance in which he hauled in three touchdown passes. This past Sunday, however, was a day Johnson would just as soon forget as he dropped five passes against the Pittsburgh Steelers, including a wide open opportunity in the end zone in overtime that would have ended the contest in the Bills' favor. Instead the team lost shortly thereafter on a Shaun Suisham field goal.

So who or what is to blame for Johnson's sudden case of butterfingers?

According to the young playmaker, it was God's fault.

"I praise you 24/7!!!!!! And this how you do me!!!!!" Johnson tweeted on Twitter shortly after the game. "You expect me to learn from this??? How???!!! I'll never forget this!! Ever!!!"
On Monday, Johnson tried to backtrack a little.
"No I Did Not Blame God People!" Johnson said. "Seriously??!? CMon! I Simply Cried Out And Asked Why? Jus Like yal did wen sumthin went wrong n ur life!"
Maybe Johnson didn't intend to place the blame on God in his initial message, but it certainly could easily be interpreted that way.

Well, if David (Psalm 22) and Jesus (Mt 27:46) can cry out in anguish, why can’t a wide receiver? To expect a being of lower rank than those two kings not to wail is to display a profound ignorance of the human condition.
