Caviezel: "When I was on the cross, I was thinking about the Minn. Vikings

[kskiska]

(snip)

"The Passion of the Christ'' was filmed during the 2002 NFL season. It was rough going for the Vikings early on, but they finished with a three-game winning streak, and one way or another, Caviezel followed every play.

"As soon as I got home, I'd get on the Internet and look for scores,'' Caviezel said. "I'd stick my hand over the screen and go play-by-play.''

Caviezel became a Vikings fan when his brother-in-law, Scott Linehan, became the team's offensive coordinator before the 2002 season.

Since "The Passion of the Christ'' came out last Wednesday and became the No. 1 movie in America, Caviezel has had to dig deep to deal with some of the reactions he has received.

"It's overwhelming,'' he said. "People come up to me and call me Jesus.''

I wonder what impact his experience has truly had on his own spritual beliefs...

Oh, you're sharp!

Can't beat the rivarly me and my step-bro have, he's a Packer fan (his dad is from WI), and you have me... every season, like Linus, waiting for the Great Pumpkin to show up, thinking THIS will be the year.
