It Pays to Pay Attention

You probably won’t be surprised to learn that not only do I watch football, I read about it. Books, magazines, web sites, and even my competition in the blogosphere.

Right now, I most enjoy Get the Picture because it’s author and I focus on similar subjects but are almost complete foils. In this post, he rants against play off proposals in menacing manner. I don’t feel the need to rebut his every point, but I do wish to highlight this:

Sadly, I haven’t even gotten to the dumbest part of Staples’ piece. That would be his insistence that the bowls wouldn’t be hurt by being bypassed by this new tournament. For example, the Sugar Bowl would be just as happy hosting Ole Miss as it would Florida. Happier, even.
… Since they never were about determining a national champion, one would think bowl organizers and civic leaders would prefer a thrilled eight-win team (Ole Miss) over a disappointed 12-win team (Florida).
Yeah, not hosting Tim Tebow in his final game as a collegian would go over great, one would think.

Guess he missed this memo.
