But football is over, I'm going cold turkey, until this afternoon when I start thinking about the draft and tweaking an under front to accommodate quarters...there I go again.
Today's shit storm is going to deal with pork. No not the Bacon Explosion, I'm talking pork barrel spending.
We won't go into politics, but suffice it to say that some of these earmarks are downright hilarious.
(Still don't know why the Lattimer foundation for the economic advancement of Lattimer, has yet to receive any type of help)
Anyway I was thinking, what would it look like if we started earmarking sports.
For Example: If I was in power I would most definitely set aside $20 Million for Virginia Tech football passing game development.
Don't get me wrong play action passes and "throw to the fast guy" are cool, but we could use a little help.
So for the shit storm, imagine we have a bill, and we want to stuff that thing with as much sports pork as possible.
What we need:
1. Amount of money.
2. Sports related.
3. Purpose. (make up a foundation or something)
And as always take your flame wars elsewhere.
Ok, let's earmark this mother.

ReplyDeleteAnon, this has nothing to do with the topic at hand, however I'm always amazed with Pittsburgh's ability to jump on and off bandwagons with F-117 stealth like ability. I'm sure you were wearing your 88 Swann jersey last night.
