In honor of yesterday's(Tue) presidential inauguration we appointed you Sports Dictator For Life and gave you an iron hand with which to rule. Well done!
One area we agreed on was that to qualify to win football's national championship a team had to play a more formidable out of conference schedule. It's okay for a powerhouse program from a major league to put one gimme on the slate, especially a smaller in state school who could use the payday for their athletic budget. But for say Texas Tech, with Eastern Washington and UMass, perhaps that's why the BCS computers laughed at you when compared with Oklahoma who took on one punching bag.
Ironically, the Pac 10 was the only conference where not one team played more than one obviously inferior opponent. Half the league, USC, Washington, UCLA, Oregon State and Cal did not have even one game of that nature! It was all against BCS schools, or highly credible opponents from the Mountain West or Western Athletic Conference.
Many favored making the regular season shorter in baseball and the NBA putting more value on the regular season. The NFL has to cut out half their pre-season games but keep the counting schedule at 16. Notre Dame football has to join a league, their self righteous existence is over! No one in this country is allowed to call 'soccer' 'football'. Players now get to vote for baseball's Hall of Fame, the writers can't be trusted. Pass interference must be called the same in college as the NFL. We hate a college defensive back being able to tackle a receiver to save a 90 yard touchdown and just paying for it with 15 yards. ESPN is no longer allowed to show major events until they stop with the gossip oriented crapola and trying to pass off poker as a tv spectator sport. Most of you seem to want to alter the NFL rule governing Sudden Death for the playoffs. I'm putting my foot down here. Sudden Death rules. It's the ultimate sports drama. Knock each other's brains in for 60 minutes with a "loser go home" penalty, then first score wins! We would also enjoy more outdoor NHL games like the Blackhawks/Red Wings did over the holidays.
Quick inauguration note. Could Dick Cheney have looked more evil getting wheeled around in that chair? Apparently he hurt his back moving boxes from his office. Really? Doesn't have someone to do that? Guess he didn't want anyone to see the contents. Bye Bye Dirt Bag!

Give Cheney a white cat and a control panel on his wheel chair with large blinking lights and he would have been Blowfeld from the early Bond films.
They said he hurt his back lifting boxes...which tells me all the billions that simply "went missing" were stashed in Cheney's man-sized safe.
