Does God care about sports? Has anyone asked?

As we prepare for The Most Important Football Game Ever (at least outside the SEC) tonight, there has been some thought that perhaps the Broncos have a 12th man the likes of which Texas A&M could never summon up.

But for all this talk, there's one thing I haven't seen ... any comments from Him.

You know ... Him.

I understand He's a bit busy these days with His creation and all, but He has lots of representatives down here. Surely there's someone who should be able to hook up a reporter for a quick Q&A with Him. After all, it doesn't have to be a long interview if He doesn't have a lot of time. It could just be one question:

"Do You have anything to do with who wins sporting events?"
Now, if a reporter manages to score this interview, and there is time for something a bit more substantial there are a few more questions I'd suggest:
(If yes to the first question) "Lots of athletes love You, but they can't all win. How do You decide?"
(If no) "Then why do so many people think You do? Is there anything You'd like to tell them?"
 "How do You explain someone being a great player in spite of the absence of 'God-given talent,' or 'You-given talent,' as it were?"
"Did you ever wish Evander Holyfield would just shut his pie hole?"
"Is the BCS a venial or mortal sin?"
