Government and the BCS?!

The Justice Department says the Obama administration is considering steps that would look into the legality of the controversial BCS system.  This is an absolute outrage.  I am a firm believer in shortening the NCAA football season by a game and implementing a playoff system. (top 8 teams, at each BCS bowl site for the opening round, all other bowls can still be played).  What I do not like is that our government is trying to put its' hand in forcing the NCAA to abide by their rules.  Our government has no place in sports, and it just seems to me like it is something else for them to take control of.  What will the NCAA be called in 10 years?  The GCAA (government collegiate athletic association?)  I would love nothing more than for there to be a playoff system put in place, but do we really want the government to be the ones to change what we have?  Its a terrible sign of things to come.

Tiger you will never learn

      After watching the first 4 minutes of the Tiger Woods staged "press conference,"  I realized that this guy just doesn't get it.  Calling out the Media for intruding in your personal life?  Your right to privacy went flying out the door when you agreed to the terms of becoming the most Iconic figure in the world of sports. Even if you had privacy then, it definitely went out the windows your wife beat in with a 9-iron in the middle of the street in a neighborhood.
      I repeatedly hear people saying he should be left alone and what happened is none of our business.  What is it with athletes that cause us to go blind?  With shows like; "cops," "cheaters," "Campus PD," where are these peoples right to privacy?  The second Elin "allegedly" took a nine-iron to his face or even his SUV, your story became public.  Sorry Buddy,  the price of fame.  I'll listen when you step up and answer media questions in a "conversation-oriented" PRESS CONFERENCE.

I'll be back next week for my thoughts on things political, sports, or anything else.  Stay Tuned.
