AARGGHH!!!! Former Black Panther and jailbird, Illinois Rep, Bobby Rush, is part of this mad inquisition.
The image of the fall of the Roman Empire is often represented by Emperor Nero playing his fiddle while Rome burned around him. On May 1, 2009, the House Energy and Commerce subcommittee is holding a hearing to determine why a playoff system hasn’t been implemented to determine the annual college football championship. Their ire is directed at the BCS Bowl system, its methodology, and why non BCS conference teams are frozen out of the competition.
The crowning of the national college football champion has been the subject of debate for ages. What else is new?
Barack Obama was interviewed on ESPN before his election. In another blatant example of the entertainment industry rallying behind Barack Obama and further blurring the distinction between hard news and entertainment reporting, in this instance a sports network, a story segment clearly designed as a touchy-feely promotional presentation bordering on free advertising, Obama spoke of his sports interests perhaps angering a large segment of his Chicago base clearly indicating he was a White Sox fan not a Cubbies fan. He made no bones about it, the one thing he would change if he had the chance would be to implement a playoff system to determine the NCAA football champ.
Should we be surprised his lackeys in Camp Pelosi would take up such an issue and try to come of with some shabby justification to make yet another aspect of American life the government’s business by conducting this ridiculous hearing?
Just the sight of Illinois Congressman, Bobby Rush, one of the stupidest morons clueless on everything but his commitment to an extreme left wing agenda, the former founder of the Illinois Black Panther party who spent six months in jail on firearm charges in 1969, sitting in the power chair talking down to those summoned to this arbitrary hearing is enough to make any rational citizen furious.
The immediate question that comes to mind is don’t these idiots have better things to do?
Maybe given the direction the Democratic led House of Representatives on Nancy Pelosi’s watch has for their big spending habits, attempts to grow government, sell-out to the unions, and meddle in our daily lives, the more distracted they are, the better. The only problem is, it would be a real tragedy if their pressure became the catalyst for some new structure for NCAA football post season play.
No one will argue that the competition for television money is the hottest issue in charting the direction of the championship structure. The networks are interested in programming the most entertaining kind of competition that draws the most viewers and hence provides them with the greatest ad revenue. In turn, the amount of money the consortium of major football programs can receive in return.
Regardless of what one’s feelings are on how the college post season should be structured, this is a matter for the NCAA, its schools, and the television networks to solve. Given many of the universities involved are state schools, political forces already have a tremendous amount of influence.
Now who has the guts to tell these morons on Capitol Hill to mind their own business? WE DO!!! Unfortunately, we’re just average citizens who surely rate being on the Napolitano terrorist list in some capacity.
WHOOPEE!!! We’re more concerned whether our beloved ACC will be in the championship hunt versus the SEC and Big 12 next January. The hell with the politics!!!
