Additional Thoughts

1. I am so sick and tired of Power Polls or NFL Rankings. This isn't the retarded and backward NCAA football we are talking about. I don't care where Peter King, the person who calls himself DR. Z, who I will just call Mr. Irrelevant, ESPN, or any other website ranks NFL teams. As Mike Golic would say. Stop it. Just Stop it. Fill your pages with something more meaningful.

2. With respect to the retarded NCAA football, could someone with a real voice make the argument that a non-playoff NCAA football championship actually makes the regular season LESS important. Here is the simple argument. Do we care what happens to Penn State now? They aren't getting into the BCS Title game, THUS EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEIR REMAINING REGULAR SEASON GAMES IS MEANINGLESS. And that's the weakest example. What about the 90% of teams who lose a game or more within the first 4 weeks of the regular season? Your telling me that Ohio State is still playing meaningful games with 2 losses? Or worse that Michigan has played a single meaningful game this year? Basically the BCS system makes the regular season important for about 5-8 teams each year. And as we approach the end of the year, that number gets further whittled down, to about 2-4. To the contrary, an 8 team playoff would allow the 1 and 2 loss teams of the world to play meaningful games even in October and November. If I hear one more moron make the argument that a playoff system would hurt the regular season I am going to scream. Please somebody make this counter-argument!!!!!

3. Lastly, the Giants Lincecum just won the Cy Young Award. Only about 2 months since the last day he played a game of baseball. Way to stay relevant baseball.
