SNIPPET OF THE DAY – AT 8:46 P.M. ET:

From USA Today:  The Department of Justice has sent a letter to NCAA President Mark Emmert asking why the association does not have a major-college football playoff and it wants to know if Emmert believes some aspects of the Bowl Championship Series system do not serve the interests of fans, schools and players.

Your tax dollars at work.  I have sent to the Department of Justice a copy of Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary with the word "priorities" circled, for their contemplation.
