I think it is sad that CNN continues to report all this 'bad news' about Phelps.
You ran a poll and your viewers are basically telling you that this story is not newsworthy.
Still you ladle the point to no end.
There is NO indigenous plant on the planet that has more positive properties than hemp. Yet he can legally drink alcohol which actually destroys brain cells???
Of course, you did not report on either of these facts..so I did.

end the fed
end the nwo
start reporting on real news items!

Wiith the bail outs that lead to the filling of pockets and really didn't do anything to help the US . They could have paid all home owners and others 50,000 or more to equal the bail out money for companies. That would have bailed out banks, cars, and creidit cards and left alittle left over for whatevers and put the US and world back on its feet. Atleast for a time, Not counting the small buesiness that would have been saved. Now having to close and laying off of personal. As it stands now it's depression time and the president nor the
american people can't stop it unless we go to all out war. Sorry for the bad forcast. To much greed.

I think there should be a playoff system this bcs as it stands does not work. besides having a playoff off system will be better for everyone and obviously fair.

couldnt agree more with your article but with the big ten and pac 10 commisioners running the bcs it will never change the money factor controls here those two conferences would lose money annd with the big ten respect how many years do we have to start the year with big ten schools ranked all over the top 20 then end the year with losses out of the conference makes me say ncaa march madness is far superior to college football

A 32-team playoff would be the best solution to all this mess college football got into. I would to see how conference champions from the MAC, Sun Belt, WAC, and Mountain West would do against teams from the Big East, Big 11 (Big 10), and ACC. Right now, all these bowl games other than the BCS national championship game mean absolutely nothing, even more worthless than NFL preseason games.

WIth everything being feel good in our society, why dont wont we just issue a national trophy for everyone and engrave participant at the bottom. Just like in grade school sports. Everyone is a winner. Thats what everything is coming to with all the fighting as to who should be national champ.

I'm loving all your comments on this!

Chris, yours is the funniest I've read so far.

I love the "Kellogg's cereal first down". The advertisements are out of control.

Why is the Utah AG worrying about this? Isn't there anything more important to worry about in Utah? If not, maybe we should find out how they can live in such a happy, peaceful state and mimic them. Sounds to me like the Attourney General needs to be focussing on his job and not on entertainment.

Uh, Div 1 needs a playoff but there's too much money in the bowls for the presidents to abandon them so we will get another decade of meaningless, subjectively significant contests, 'nuff said.

The system is terrible, but there is just too much money involved for the NCAA to change the bowl system. I'm tired of lawmakers getting involved in any way. Stop wasting our money and do the job you are being paid to do!
