Congress has done it again!!
Dec 12^th, 2009 at 7:16am

With two wars going on, the economy in the pits, healthcare up in the air, terrorism at a high level, our Congress in it's WISDOM is taking on an all important task....

Yep, they're going into a debate on HOW FOOTBALL BOWL GAMES SHOULD BE RUN!!! This stuff can't be made up -- check it out...

And I thought just spending time giving out certificates for turning 90 or helping 1000 children across the stret was a waste of time, but ......

If you need a good laugh in the mornings just go to the Congressional Agenda each morning and SEE what our Elected officials are really doing on OUR time!!!

When these helpless clowns run out of steam screwing up serious issues, they set themselves on idle until lobbiests wind them up again. While in this mode they grab stuff from a file set aside for this purpose....anything not needing attention or none of their business trying to appear relevant.

We're in deep.

He voiced early in the year that he didn't like the current system and would like to see them switch to a playoff system. Either he's pushing it or Pelosie is kissing his ass again.

Leave it to these idiots to make the BCS worse.

I can imagine something like this:

1. The favored team will have to surrender the point spread before the opening kickoff.

2. Should the favored team attain a two touchdown lead by halftime than that team must surrender one of their to their opponent.

3. Should the team in the lead be driving for a two possession lead after the two minute warning, they shall surrender possession of the ball. The ball shall then be placed on the opponents two yard line. Five downs shall be allowed to score and neither a fumble or an interception shall be allowed.

4. If after five downs that team has not scored, than a sixth down shall be allowed and their opponent can only field three players.

5. At the end of the game points shall be awarded to the team with less points in such an amount that the game will result in a tie. No overtime is allowed.

6. Both teams will be awarded trophies for the respective bowl game and all teams that were not chosen, by Congress, to participate in said bowl game shall also be awarded a trophy.

7. A 100% value added tax shall be instituted on the fans in the lower seats, a 70% tax on the mid-level fans and the fans in the upper level seating will pay no tax.

8. All players will receive an Congressional Award for uncompetitiveness and all teams shall be awarded the National Championship Trophy.

9. The Heisman Award is hereby abolished.

I'm sure y'all can come up with some more.

Steve Go Saints!

Reply #11 - Dec 13^th, 2009 at 6:33pm Someone once suggested within my hearing that we should take Congress out and line them up, then shoot every third one once a month until we were happy with the job they were doing, or ran out of politicians. There are times I almost agree with him.
