NCAA Weekend Primer: Can a Simple Secretary of State Grasp Football?

After holding the menial position of Secretary of State, can Condoleezza Rice handle the complexities of watching football?
 By Joe Parello  @HerewegoJoe

In case you hadn't heard, ESPN college football analyst and former Georgia Bulldog David Pollack began a statement on College Gamdeday Saturday with "now I'm gonna stick my foot in my mouth, probably."

Yeah, when you start a sentence like that, the next thing out of your mouth should probably be, "you know what, never mind."

Pollack was beginning to voice his displeasure with former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice being appointed to the College Football Playoff Committee, and getting a vote to determine which four teams will play for a national championship each year.

He continued to say that he wanted members of the committee to have played football, be able to break down game tape and know more about the teams than just what's on paper. Host Chris Fowler, sensing what Pollack was trying to say, asked him bluntly, "so, no woman belongs on the committee?"

Pollack's response: "You said that."

How do you get paid when you make over $40 million for one fight? You might think they slowly deposit $1 million into your bank account electronically for the next few years, but you would be incorrect. Nope, they just give you a check like the one below.
