It's blasphemous when the quarterback reaches under the center's butt.

Not really.

Blasphemy is speech, thought, or action involving contempt for God or the Church, or persons or things dedicated to God.

Calling a prayer of a pass by the name of a prayer is not showing contempt for God, the Church or Mary.

Occasionally God even answers the prayer.

With love in Christ
