Last night I watched the LSU game with a friend who had 450,000$ worth of business riding on LSU winning. Half a million dollars has an amazing ability to increase one’s interest in a football game. His company has the license for the official BCS championship apparel, but his region (southeastern) covered only LSU. Needless to say he enjoyed the victory. And we all will enjoy the nice dinner he promised us when his commission check comes in.

Speaking of sports, Congress has called Roger Clemens to testify regarding his use of performance enhancing drugs. I have to wonder if there isn't anything more important for Congress to be doing than chasing down retired baseball players about HGH and testosterone? On the one hand, I understand how pro athletes’ use of drugs affects teenage athletes, and we do need to protect kids. But on the other hand, isn’t there anything more important for our government to be doing than getting retired athletes to admit or deny using steroids?
