Did I just see something about Congress investigating the Bowl Games???

[MaineDem]

I swear the ESPN crawl said they would be covering the Congressional hearings into the college football bowl series. Why is Congress taking time out of doing things like, ummm maybe balancing the budget, to discuss college football?

I think I've seen it all now. This is really blowing my mind.

this is all within the subcommittee for athletics regulation or something like that, so it's not like its on the floor

2. I think Nike greased some congressman's palms!!

Team Nike (the Oregon Ducks) got the shaft by the way the BCS is set up. Now 'Uncle Phil' is mad!

Sort of like baseball

4. Not yet. First they have to save Christmas.

Then it's on to the important things like the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl.
