ARE YOU SERIOUS???


Reason enough to stay away from golf.........


I understand Representative Joe barton (Texas) has Congress looking into college football and the BCS.... seriously? Is this all we have to do in this country? What happened to the economy, the War on Terror (oops... whatever it is called now) and "manmade disasters" (aka terrorists attacks), healthcare, Gitmo, blah, blah, blah
Congressional inquiries into sports issues typically result in extensive public buffoonery and lengthy bouts of elitist grandstanding. They mispronounce names of athletes, meddle unnecessarily and many times utterly embarrass themselves. Some of them wouldn't know the difference between A-Rod and Selena Roberts.
Now, Congress is engaging in full-throttle hand-wringing when it comes to the flawed, farcical college football non-playoff system. To some people the BCS should stand for Be-Gone Congressional Silliness.
Congress is inefficient when it comes to sports. Fine. There is also a lot more going on in the country that requires its attention. Maybe it's just me... maybe this is important to my generation and the next and the next. Aaargh!
