    Here's the nutshell:
    1)  You shouldn't pay any attention to how we vote from week to week, because we'll elevate whoever we want based on rules never enunciated and for whatever reason we decide this year is important.
    2)  There are eleven of us voters so corrupt [...]

    Number of comments: 4
    Last night, the late SportsCenter invited the coaches of several schools competing for a slot in the BCS National Championship Game to come on the show via calling in and state the case for their team.  Here, briefly, is what the three coaches said:

    The Wannstache virus has officially liquefied all of the BCS's internal organs, its body falling limp to the ground with a gory splash of blood, shit, and bile. So many teams have a legitimate argument to be in the National Championship Game. All we know for sure is that the [...]

  • Why do we have polls anyway?

    Polls are supposed to provide an objective analysis where subjectivity is insufficient (or at least that's what people tell me).
    Here's the thing.  Two ATROCIOUS phantom holding calls effectively removed 6 points from Pittsburgh's score tally and gave the ball back to West Virginia undeservedly. (and another excessive celebration penalty [...]

    Why don't referees enforce offsetting penalties at separate times?
