There has been a very disturbing trend going on lately with legistlature trying to stick their heads into the sports world. I find it very disturbing that the have nothing better to do with their time. Time that we pay for. Could they work on the whole Energy Crisis that they always speak of? Apparently not. What about trying to fix a Social Security System that is FUBAR? Na....
Let's take a glance look at a few examples. First would be the whole steroid fiasco in baseball. Congress figured it would be a good use of their time and resources to intervene. Call Bud out, players out, Fehr out... Ask them questions we already knew the answer to. Chew out poor old innocent Bud in front of the country.
Then we had Congress getting involved with whether or not the Patriots v. Giants game would be on "free" network television. Yea, that is certainly something that warrants their time and energy. Sports Bars everywhere were pissed off about that one. Who the hell is looking out for the Sports Bars!?!

And now the State of Georgia has decided to "call for a playoff system" for NCAA Football. That means that the Georgia taxpayers spend the money for 160 legislators to sit and come up with a "call for a playoff system". The best part is that the NCAA could give a shit less what the Georgia House calls for! And they can also give a shit less that the UGA President came out the DAY AFTER the Amazing and Glorious LSU Tigers won the National Championship and made a plea for a playoff system, shaming the SEC. Its amazing that all of this comes from Georgia and after Auburn went undefeated without a shot at the title, you heard nothing from Alabama. The State of Georgia is one large, whining bitch!
