What a fratboy wannabe jock douchebg he is. But yeah, lets start stringing them up by their own logic. There wont be enough 'rope' to actually do any damage though, so its mostly just for the entertainment value of the thing...

6. NCAA makes about $800 million a year, almost entirely from college football ads

$180 million of that goes back to student athletes.

Frankly, it would probably be in their interest to fund the game, but I think there'd be some legal problems with that.

8. Chuck Todd cannot tell the difference between a sewage plant and an oil refinery.

He has to be one of the most ignorant of the TV "news reporters". I was watching his show during Hurricane Sandy last year. They were showing film from a helicopter flying over the flooded areas. As they flew over a flooded waste water treatment plant, Todd excitedly stated how it was an oil refinery. He had to come back after a commercial break to correct his statement. What an idiot. Todd must never look out the window on all those plane flights he has taken. He reminds me of so many of the no-talent, white boys from the well to do suburbs who think they are brilliant, but only get hired because of mummy and daddy's connections. He could not even manage to graduate from college even though he attended George Washington University from 1990 to 1994.

He is an example of someone placed in a position that only got there by connections or being a sycophant.

I love football and yeah the ncaa makes lots of money. So the nfl makes butt-loads and the owners tons (unless you own the jags) but taxpayers pay for the right for these teams to play in their area. Chuck you pay for the game if you really want it that much, but really is air force vs navy?? Now if the tides schedule was hurt or texas well teabaggers would have their long undies all tied in knots they won't be able to think and we might get an end to this dumb shutdown. But air force vs navy???

I am unmoved by Toadies plea.
