Last week Senator Arlen Spector suggested the federal government should force the Eagles to start Terrell Owens. He suggested that Congressional hearings should be held on the Eagle's starting lineup.

Apparently he didn't realize that football is already regulated, by the House of Representatives. They plan to look into how the much maligned Bowl Championship Series (BCS) selects teams to play in college bowls.

Regular readers of this site know that I'm no fan of the BCS system, but Congressional interference is not the answer.
