It's also time for the yearly "Bernstein should love the BCS" rant.

Bernstein should love the BCS. He often has complained about how he doesn't like how random playoffs can be. This mostly comes up with baseball, but also with football and college basketball. He uses it to pump up the NBA because the "best team" always wins and you don't get some upstart team that shocks the world. He uses it to hate on the NCAA basketball tournament and all those small little schools that shock the world and win a game or two and knock out "Real damn teams" which means they have a player on them who "dunks a lot" or "is in his NBA mock drafts and isn't named Meyers". The BCS is perfect for him. Pick the two best teams in the country, and let them play. No Cinderellas. No Southern North Carolina knocking out Kansas in round 1. No Butler at all. It's a perfect system. We all knew that Alabama was the class of college football. The BCS gives them the easiest path possible to win a championship.

Oh, but he'll celebrate how awesome the 9-7 Packers and the 9-7 Giants were when they won the Super Bowl. But if Butler had won it! COLLEGE SUCKS!

The future holds the possibility to be great or terrible, and since it has not yet occurred it remains simultaneously both.

The menstrual cycle changes among Hassidic Jewish women was something as well.

They will find some way to blame this on Luke Harangody...

I mean, he's right that college sports suck, but I don't get what he's trying to say.

And can we please have a moratorium on "big-boy" as an adjective?

Laurence Holmes is a fucking weirdo, a nerd in denial, and a wannabe. Not a very good radio host either.

We lose a lot of rights when we look the other way when it doesn't affect our lives or it isn't a cause we agree with.

Conversely, it's worth noting that many of the same people who love March Madness for surprise berths, upsets, and random outcomes are the same people who get their panties in a twist when a mid-major cracks the lowest bowl of the year in the BCS rotation. Northern Iowa beats #1 Kansas in basketball and it's What Makes College Basketball Great. Hawaii or Northern Illinois makes the fourth or fifth BCS bowl but loses, and you didn't deserve to be there and you never deserved to be there and you never will deserve to be there and don't you ever be gittin' none them ideas 'bout comin' round these parts agin ya hear? *chunk-chunk*

I'm looking forward to hear how he dances around Emery interviewing Mike Singletary - reportedly because the McCaskey's wanted to. I thought his boy Phil was in "total control" to hire whomever he wants?

HOLY. SHIT.

This afternoon is must-listen radio. Was Dan wrong about Emery's genius? Wrong about Singletary's idiocy? Wrong about the McCaskeys NOT. RUNNING. THIS. TEAM.? Or will he find a way to be right about everything?

The term big boy anything is gay, Dan uses way too much...also add finite and quantify to his overused list.

This is fair and all as a criticism of Bernstein's crude and contradictory thoughts, but there's clearly a middle ground between upset-ridden variance fests and simply reducing the post-season to a single game on the basis of (highly problematic) numbers.

I do think your point on Bernstein would be fairer here if there was anything close to a useful sample size in terms of the regular season as well, which precludes any conclusion at all about who the best teams are in college football anyway according to any numbers anyway.

I'm interested as well. I feel like the Bernstein I fell in love with would take a humorous right-turn and say 'well, looks like I was wrong!' and make a bunch of jokes about Singletary. With drops.

The new serious one will probably say that Emery is just doing this to gain favor with the meatballs who don't know the real story....who will call in and the show will (pretend to) wish they didn't call in.

Stop being silly about #Bears interviewing Singletary. Simple favor among long, long list, nothing more. Emery will get the guy he wants.
