The NFL season starts in just a few minutes with a nationally televised game between the New York Giants and Washington Redskins. The game may overlap with John McCain’s speech to accept the Republican presidential nomination.

Since Rep. John Boozman, R-Rogers, is a huge football fan (and a former Arkansas player) the question was posed as to what he would choose to watch if a Razorback game was scheduled head-to-head with a presidential nomination acceptance speech.

Here’s what he said:

“If the Hogs were playing tonight, I’d probably have one eye on one thing and one on the other, but most of my time would be spent with the Razorbacks. There would be no doubt about that one.”

It’s a safe bet to say Boozman speaks for his constituents on that issue.
