"I didn't throw that INT, god made me throw it."  Is he not claiming that a higher power made him throw the interception because said higher power wants him to show everyone how he responds?

'I'm using you ... I want to see how you respond. But most importantly, I want them to see how you respond.'"

That is the quote...so he's saying that god directly influenced that play and made it an INT.  That is downright blasphemous when you get down to it and it really seems like the "nice guy" way of inadvertently(?) absolving himself from the blame.  Can't blame him for throwing it, god made it happen.  So there.  I guess it's all about the perception of the person involved.  If Terrel Owens drops a Super Bowl-winning TD pass and says "God spoke to me and said I made you drop that pass because I want to test you" people would have literally crucified him.

How he reacts is the only part i agree with in what said.

Everything else....ugh.
