re: Kirk Herbstreit and Desmond Howard puzzled why NY6 games are "meaningless" to people

Uh, the majority of fans were clamoring for a playoff. You got it, and now you fickle people are crying about it.

The problem isn't the playoff. The problem is how it's executed and how ESPN immediately shifted from covering every game (even if it was just a 15 second blurb w/a single highlight on College Football Final) to cramming PLAYOFF TALK down our throats during EVERY SINGLE fricking game, every halftime, and every show during the year. Then there's the case of the Rose and Sugar demanding they play unopposed on Jan 1 every year like a pair of self important assholes. It's a shite arse set up and screws up the flow of the bowl season. The playoff games should be the last two bowls. Instead we're held hostage by a parade and a sunset and have playoff games crammed into NYE when most of the country is busy doing other shite.
