It's Anchorman, Not Anchorlady

Selena Roberts leads the ESPN News Team.


On this morning's Sports Reporters, the NYT's Selena Roberts opined on the fact that an Oregon/Kansas BCS Championship would be a match-up that no one in the country would shive a git about, and as such, diminishes the legitimacy of the whole BCS system. It seems everyone has an opinion on the BCS, but say what you will, this season's college football season has been nothing short of spectacular. Honestly, it's nice to see the South Florida's go on a run, only to be jerked back down to earth. Similarly, it's cool to see the Oregons, the Kansases and the Hawaiis get some pub.

Here's the point, if the system is uniform across the board, I have no problem seeing some new faces make a run or two on New Years. Boise State last year shut a lot of mouths. However, to say that the fact that no one cares about a championship game diminishes the whole league's system and the sport itself cannot be a statement made in a vacuum.

Show of hands, how many cared to watch the Red Sox slaughter the Rockies? Who can name the last 3 NHL champs? Does lack of public interest in these sports' respective championships diminish their luster?
