BIRMINGHAM, Alabama - The largest synagogue in Birmingham has thrown a penalty flag on any talk of football during Yom Kippur, the last day of the Jewish High Holy Days on Sept. 14.
Temple Emanu-El posted a stern announcement in a hand-out bulletin distributed at Rosh Hashanah services Wednesday night and Thursday morning, saying that football should not be discussed at the synagogue on the solemn Day of Atonement.

Somehow I can’t imagine G-d saying the “Rammer Jammer” cheer.

I’m sure that is on the top of GOD’s watch list given all that is going on in the world.

Man: Mort, how are you?
Mort: HAVE YOU SEEN SABAN’S NEW SCHVATZA?
Man: Mort, please.
Mort: HE RUNS LIKE HE’S JUST GOT THROUGH ROBBING A LIQUOR STORE.

Up until 4 years ago, G-d was a Notre Dame fan.
