This wasn't about football even though he may have used a football story to relate to uhhhhh....football players? So no....I don't find it strange that Gibbs would accept an opportunity to speak to a team that came to town about his faith. He even said he was a Redskin he wasn't there to give them a pep talk. What's over the top is to try to make more of this than what it is.

First of all the place has nothing to do with it - it could have happened on Mars. Second of all who is trying to make more of it than it is. Its Frikkin Joe Frikkin Gibbs talkin to the Frikkin Dallas Cowboys. In my world that is bizzaro - not criminal - not blasphemy - not im gonna write off everything Gibbs ever did good for the Redskins.
Third of all you are making it sound like the Cowboys came to town on a pilgrimage. Lol. The Dallas Cowboys were here to play a football game and if there was no football game on Sun they arent in a chapel. There are plenty of priests in and around that city that could talk to Dallas about God that are alot more qualified to do so than Joe Gibbs. It had everything to do with Football and if you read what he said he talked about football and specific moments in games where he made mistakes but u have to overcome those mistakes. Mentally challenging the Dallas Cowboys to keep the faith on SUNDAY and everyday. Was he shouting - now go beat those Panthers- of course not, but make no bones about it this was in some way shape or form a spiritually uplifting pep talk the day before a game. If you are going to try and tell me that Jerry Jones just wanted his players to be quoted the scripture by Father Gibbs and it had absolutely nothing to do with the fact there was a game the next day well no - just no. And I have pointed out the fact that Gibbs is the type of person that i dont think would say no. Ultimately i have no problem with him obliging jerry jones request to speak to the team.
