Finally, we can thank the brave souls in congress for the courage to break the stranglehold that the BCS has on college football. You need only look at the front page of any failing newspaper in the country to see how this issue continues to dominate the headlines. The cable news networks, Sunday shows and political blogs are filled with story after heart-string-tugging story about the detrimental affects of not knowing who the true college national champion is. How many of us have sat at the kitchen table, opening up bills and re-adjusting our family budgets, looking across the table at your spouse, uttering, "If only there were a collegiate football playoff system, things would be so much easier".
Everyone in this country should be insulted by this. This further illustrates the disregard the ruling political class has for the citizens of this country. No wonder their approval percentage can't break 30.
Illinois Democrat Bobby Rush don't you have bigger fish to fry?
"We can walk across the street and chew gum at the same time," said the subcommittee chairman, Illinois Democrat Bobby Rush, one of the bill's co-sponsors. "We can do a number of things at the same time."
Really? Bobby, I'd wager you folks can't even do one thing at a time.
"What can we say _ it's December and the BCS is in chaos again," said the bill's sponsor, Rep. Joe Barton of Texas, the top Republican on the House Energy and Commerce Committee. He said the BCS system is unfair and won't change unless prompted by Congress.
Ah, Joe, under what mandate does this issue fall?
The legislation, which goes to the full committee, would make it illegal to promote a national championship game "or make a similar representation," unless it results from a playoff.
Hey Joe and Bobby- ITS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS! IT'S NOT YOUR FUNCTION! How they can do these things with a straight face is worthy of an Oscar nomination.
Tell ya what....
When you can solve the housing problem, the falling dollar, raging unemployment, trillion dollars of debt, the rise of China's military, North Korea's nuke issues, Iran's nuke issues, Russia, oppressive regulations, Medicare/Medicaid fraud and rising energy cost- when you get a handle on all that and prove that you can or have solved them, then I'll listen to your arguments on a football championship.
When you can walk across the street and manage to actually make it to the other side of that street, they worrying about whether to chew gum or not.
Until you can get the things you are supposed to do done correctly, stay out of things you have no business tinkering with.
It's already put this country in the shape it's in now.
Congress- the largest group of 'C' students assembled.
