Ask and ye shall be rebuffed?
An Indianapolis couple is banking on divine intervention for tickets to carry them to Super Bowl XLI.
"I am a big Colts fan and my husband and I would love to be there," their EBay listing states. "It says in the Bible, 'Ask and ye shall receive.' So, I'm asking!!!"
As for those fans dependent upon more Earthly means of gaining access to Miami's Dolphin Stadium on Sunday?
