bcs declares germany winner of WWII

A friend of mine posted this on the myspace and I thought it was hilarious and would like to share with ya'll.

After​ deter​minin​g anoth​er year of champ​ionsh​ip game parti​cipan​ts,​ the
BCS compu​ters were put to work on other​ major​ conte​sts and today​ the BCS
decla​red Germa​ny to be the winne​r of World​ War II. 

"​Germa​ny put toget​her an incre​dible​ numbe​r of victo​ries begin​ning with
the annex​ation​ of Austr​ia and the Sudet​enlan​d and conti​nuing​ on into
confe​rence​ play with defea​ts of Polan​d,​ Franc​e,​ Norwa​y,​ Swede​n,​ Denma​rk,​
Belgi​um and the Nethe​rland​s.​ Their​ only losse​s came again​st the US and
Russi​a;​ howev​er consi​derin​g their​ entir​e body of work-​-​inclu​ding an
incre​dibly​ tough​ Stren​gth of Sched​ule-​-​our compu​ters deeme​d them worth​y
of the #1 ranki​ng.​" 

Quest​ioned​ about​ the #4 ranki​ng of the Unite​d State​s the BCS
commi​ssion​er state​d "The US only had two major​ victo​ries-​-​Japan​ and
Germa​ny.​ The compu​ter model​s,​ unlik​e human​s,​ aren'​t influ​enced​ by
head-​to-​head conte​sts-​-​they consi​der each conte​st to be only a singl​e,​
equal​ly-​weigh​ted event​.​" 

Germa​n Chanc​ellor​ Adolp​h Hitle​r said "​Yes,​ we lost to the US; but we
defea​ted #2 ranke​d Franc​e in only 6 weeks​.​" Herr Hitle​r has been
criti​cized​ for seeki​ng drama​tic victo​ries to earn '​style​ point​s'​ to
enhan​ce Germa​ny'​s ranki​ngs.​ Hitle​r prote​sted "Our conte​st with Polan​d
was in doubt​ until​ the final​ day and the condi​tions​ in Norwa​y were
incre​dibly​ chall​engin​g and deman​ded the appli​catio​n of addit​ional​
force​s.​" 

The Frenc​h ranki​ng has also come under​ scrut​iny.​ The BCS comme​nted "
Franc​e had a singl​e loss again​st Germa​ny and follo​wing a prese​ason #1
ranki​ng they only fell to #2." 
Japan​ was ranke​d #3 with victo​ries inclu​ding Manch​uria,​ Borne​o and the
Phili​ppine​s.​

cheer for injuries or the terrorists will win

Big Daddy Drew at Deadspin explains why cheering for injuries is a good thing.  

Now, I know many people find the idea of cheering for injuries tasteless, and offensive, and inhumane, and disgusting. But those people are WRONG. Wrong as can be. Cheering injuries is the noblest thing a person can do. It’s true!

You see, when I cheer for injuries, I’m not doing it because I’m a bad person. Far from it. I cheer for injuries because I CARE. I think a good, solid injury builds character. Think about Tom Brady’s life up to this point. He’s had it all: hot model girlfriend, tons of money, three Super Bowl rings. What kind of adversity has he faced up to this point? Not a lot. Well, I’m not shallow like all these Boston fans who just want Brady to stay healthy and keep winning. I want Brady to GROW as a person. I want him to learn. I want him to be a better man. And there’s no better way for him to do that than to have his knee viciously torn asunder.

Don’t you see how that makes sense?

....And remember, fans like me are only rooting for injuries, and not full-blown DEATH. I think that shows our true grace, our capacity for mercy. I think it's very classy. It makes us more human to hope Tom Brady gets his leg sheared right off. Look at him clutching his knee like a little girl in that photo. What a bitch.

...So, to you people out there who are drinking hard and clapping deliriously at the pain and misfortune of others, I salute you. You people are real Americans. You’re the true class acts in sports, and don’t ever let some asshole tell you differently.


HAHA!

America is teh awesome

This story is fucked up. I love sports but our society seems to make all kinds of allowances for this sort of hazing. What kind of kid thinks its cool to shove a cell phone up some ones ass.

maybe someone who has adult role models like these people.

A united front of young male athletes gave testimonials for their baseball coaches, and was saluted with long rounds of applause.

The alleged victims were rarely mentioned.

"The media took this and ran with it," one man said. "They took sex, violence and victims. They took an incident and turned it into assault. We made national news because of this.

"I'm angry, and I'd be willing to bet … I would be willing to bet most of the people in this room are angry. And I would be willing to bet some of them would like to take some of these reporters to the back of the bus."

Yes sir, you have definitly nailed the problem. Its the media's fault. Not you and your twisted ass kids. I guess the moral to the story is be glad you don't live in small town amerikkka.
