Congressfolks should be focused on more serious matters.

No matter how you come down on the Gov't Shutdown (Personally, I'm for far less gov't), those a'holes should be engaged on that issue and others and not trying to preach to the crowd about foosball...

I'm for far less government, as well, which is why I'm not particularly concerned when any part of it shuts down. But this isn't just a couple of guys talking about how they're bummed that their team lost. I listed the potential scams that could be going on, and the huge ramifications it would have.

If Congress could grill baseball players about steroids, I think they can do this. Football is a game. The NFL is a mob. I'm all for investigating them. As far as everything else that Congress could be doing, it's going to be a stalemate for the next two years, with Democrats controlling the House. They're going to push their ludicrous agendas, and the Senate is going to block them. I'm sure they spend plenty of time talking about other things, all the same.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
