Palpably
Unfair Act
 New
Jersey Governor Chris
Christie and the guys who own the coal company in
West Virginia that poisoning the water table should
be all sliced paper-thin and fed to hamsters.
Okay, enough social conscience. On to more serious
stuff.
The wild-card system of the National Football League
is punishably awful. The idea that some teams, even
division winners, have to play an extra game while
the top two divisional winners
play grab-ass
in the training room for a week is
simply
abusive.
(And what did we end up with? Possibly the least
underdoggy underdog of all time. San Fran survived
playing at
zero Kelvin in Green Bay so Seattle ought to be a
breeze, though they'll eventually get chewed up by
Denver in the Big Game.)
For
Landry's sake, just take the winners of the
top four divisions in each conference and
pit
them
against
the next
four teams with the best records. Easy-peasy.
I know
the poor, starving NFL needs all the extra money
it can get but
if money
is
all
it's
interested in then why not just stage cripple fights
at half-time, or throw a few dozen armed toddlers
in a circle at mid-field and see which ones come
out alive? You know, something with a little dignity.
