Congressman: BCS “Deeply Flawed”; Everyone Else: Joe Barton “Deeply Retarded”

Here we are opening up the next chapter of Thank God There’s Not a War Going On or a Pending Energy Crisis on the Horizon or an Entire Region of the Country Layed to Waste or a Corrupt and Incompetent Administration in the White House that Might Distract Us from this Meaningful Bit of Business at Hand. I think it’s Chapter the Forty-Seventh, though my math could be wrong.

Congressman Joe Barton, a Texas Republican as if that needed to be clarified, has called a hearing on the BCS, college football in general, his insane envy of John McCain’s high profile, and his own need to be seen on Sports Center. Calling the BCS “deeply flawed” and saying that the sport “is not just an exhilarating sport, but a billion-dollar business that Congress cannot ignore,” Barton intends to spur discussion on the matter, according to the AP.

Well thank God someone’s out there trying to drum up interest in the BCS and in a discussion of whether or not it’s the best option for the NCAA.

Joe Barton, doing God’s work there. His penetrating wisdom and passionate desire to better the lives of the American people will be brought to bear on the matter because, he said, “Too often college football ends in sniping and controversy, rather than winners and losers.

“And I want to see if Chris Berman will come up with one of those cool and funny nicknames for me. The Hammer’s already taken, but it’s a good one. Something like that. Maybe Nails, or the Congressmanator or something similar. I don’t know. That’s his domain. I’ll leave it up to him.”
