Once again, it is Sunday afternoon. For many Americans that means it is time to sit down with some popcorn and watch NFL football games.
Does the NFL have a prayer?

Hey, Dallas, meet the evangelicals!
I think it’s time for another fun online game, although with a different, uh, twist than the GetReligion drinking game dreamed up by Religious Left Online.

Is W Bush's faith too liberal?
I realize there are people who read GetReligion who believe that Peggy Noonan is on the payroll of the White House — pick a GOP White House, any GOP White House — and that she is simply a fax machine for NeoCon talking points.

On breaking up
There’s turmoil over at the Christian Coalition. Florida megachurch pastor Joel Hunter, who supports raising the minimum wage, opposes the death penalty and wants to take on global warming, was scheduled to take over Pat Robertson’s Christian Coalition in January. But according to The Washington Post‘s Alan Cooperman, the organization’s chairwoman, Roberta Combs, has decided to rescind that offer.

Covering two stories at the same time
Due to a busy class schedule, I have not had the time to address much of the new coverage of the liturgical meetings between Pope Benedict XVI and Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I, celebrating the Feast of St. Andrew the Apostle. I think most of the symbolism and the substance in those meetings will be included in the major stories tomorrow and I should be able to catch up a bit.

Time, Newsweek in early schism over the pope
Wow. Reader Janette Kok dropped us a note noting the radical difference taken in the Time‘s article on the papal trip to Turkey, in comparison to that in Newsweek, which, in fairness, was written by a ringer — Catholic scholar George Weigel.

Kids today just want to be hip
Shaila Dewann of the New York Times wants every municipal government to know something: get with it or your city will go the way of VHS tapes. While I’m sure Dewann’s article on the competition between cities to attract the young is documenting a response to what could be a very real movement, it fails to challenge any of the stereotypes that are driving what appears to just be trends. The Times can do better.
