BCS PR MONEY CONTINUES TO BE WELL SPENT
Bill Hancock received a letter full of questions from Senators Orrin Hatch and Max Baucus, and what with all his valuable expertise and decades of experience dealing with PR issues--not to mention the money spent on Ari Fleischer's PR company to come in as consultants--you'd take a little challenge like that and DROP THE SMACK HAMMER on a couple of trifling Senators asking about your well-protected cartel fair and open college football championship system inclusive of every team in these fine United States
And oh, you'd be right WATCH BILL HANCOCK UNLOAD A SMACKTIVATION HERE:
WASHINGTON — The head of college football's Bowl Championship Series says Congress "has more important things to do" than look into his group's revenue distribution. That said, BCS executive director Bill Hancock will respond to a question-filled letter sent to him by two U.S. Senators. Hancock says in a telephone interview Wednesday that "the BCS is fair" and "we welcome the opportunity to tell our story."
Excuse me, let me check my chart....did someone get told? Um, no, actually. Not at all. That's the kind of argument someone guilt of embezzling makes, as in "Hey, aren't there arsonists you should be worrying about, or serial killers or some other criminals out there?" It's attacking the attacker, and boy, haven't we finished the first three pages of Weakass Rhetoric 101. The Sandman would sweep your right off the Apollo's stage for that, son.

Just let the government...
take over the college football post season. It’s working out so well with everything else.

Orrin Hatch and Max Baucus are just old white men...
They couldn’t possibly understand how all these young black men need to spend their time….they must be racists!

"I think so, Brain, but how are we going to get the bacon flavoring into the pencils?"
Not a strawman...
it’s sarcasm-speak for ‘government should stay the hell out of it.’

Even they can't screw this up
Famous last words, I know. But short of a 120-team battle royale including a three-way game on a triangular field for the championship, they can’t possibly come up with anything worse.
Do not challenge our government like that
You have no idea how badly they can screw it up if they try.
It never gets to be easy

Chapter 5: The Inverse Error
If 2-loss LSU can not win the national title, then the BCS does not suck.
2-loss LSU can, in fact, win the national title.
Therefore, the BCS sucks.

Hancock continued
“I don’t understand Congress’ concern. We are not asking for a bailout. We actually make money. I don’t know of anything that is more American than making money. I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m not going to sit here and listen to you bad-mouth the United States of America!”

Honestly, he is just being smart...
Nobody listens to rhetoric. People want sound bites, not deep discussions. Why do think that our last presidential election boiled down to “Change”, “Hope”, and “Drill Baby Drill”.
Ari is just continuing his brilliant counsel
This is the same consultant that thought Mark McGuire should be interviewed by baseball expert, purist and damn fine journalist Bob Costas after McGuire’s “yes, I am a lying sack of shit cheater” admission.
Perhaps he thinks “Thank you for Smoking” was a how-to manual.
You're misrepresenting his argument, Orson
In fairness, you’re missing the point here because you think his response is addressing a different question than it is.
You characterize the question he’s arguing for as, “is the BCS wrong?” Really, the question he’s addressing is, “should Congress get involved in the BCS?” To that extent, his conclusion (Congress has better things to do) is right on point. Implicit in his argument is that Congress has much more important issues facing it than college football regulation, and that Congress has limited resources to deal with those issues. So it should be working on the more important things.
He's not addressing anything.
That’s his job.
