The window to my world

Lucky for, and I would thus say say unlucky for us, finding examples of Congress acting in a stupid way is easy to do. The latest is members of Congress deciding they know best how a national champion for college football should be determined. The source for this is a senator from some state that is ticked off because the college team from his state wasn’t in the championship game.

If one stops and thinks about the important issues out there that Congress should be focusing upon, I doubt determining a college football national champion is going to make the top ten list. It wouldn’t even make it on my list at all as I don’t see where Congress has the power to muddle in this area. I think we need a Constitutional Amendment that states that at the start of each day that Congress is in session, each attending member of Congress has to stand up and recite Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution. And I mean one by one. Lets hear that recited 100 teams each day when the Senate is seated, 435 in the house.

I never thought Aaron Curry would have been available, but he was. Curry is a great player and will play well for the Seahawks. If Matt Hasselbeck makes it for a couple of more years then it will be seen as a great pick. But if he goes down again this year and the Seahawks need a quarterback they’ll wish they had picked Sanchez.

I can see three main areas where I think the Seattle Seahawks need help:

1. Quarterback
2. Offensive line
3. Defensive backs

I thought of adding tight end in there but I think they will be set there. The above is in the order I think the Seahawks should draft.

Matt Hasselbeck is going to really start to show his age. He’ll probably make it through this season, maybe next, but the Seahawks better have a plan. They should draft Mark Sanchez from USC to be Hasselbeck’s replacement. He has a good arm, and even ore important seems to show good “smarts” on the field. Get him now and give him a chance to learn the offense before tossing him into the ring.

For the other two positions the Seahawks should go with the best available at that time. I would love to see them get a great tackle but with a second pick it will most likely be a good tackle, unless they their second pick and something else to move up.
