Reacting to crticism that the bill was a completely frivolous waste of time Barrow, the subcommittee chairman said, "We can walk and chew gum at the same time."
Well, perhaps, but the question isn't about walking or gum chewing, it is about wasting time writing insane laws. If for no other reason, exactly when did creating playoff brackets become a Federal matter? At any rate, the bill has little chance of passing.
However, in my overheated imagination I began to wonder what would happen if it were to dawn on the present group of Congress Critters that once playoffs were mandated they would then need two or three new Departments to regulate the whole affair. A mere 10 or 20 billion dollars later and we would end up with office buildings stuffed full of brandy-new bureaucrats pushing pencils and suckling off the public teat.
Then I suppose they would have to tinker with the sport to make it more politically correct. Soon, just like in youth sports, all of the players would get trophies for participating, because egos must not be bruised.
Oh well, I don't watch college football anyways.

talusI was thinking of posting on this. I found this exercise by Congress enraging. I like college football and wish there were a playoff system. But what I wish even more is that these a-holes simply go home and shut the hell up. What utter BS. What an utter waste of taxpayer money. They have no business whatsoever weighing in on this. They have jumped the shark and landed in Fonzie's pants.
Notfuhnuttin, but these loons are determined to destroy things. I'd rather they destroy college football postseason than the entire freaking US economic and political systems. Just sayin'.
