It just gets curiouser & curiouser at Valley Ranch.
Last night, 911 Services received a call from Widdle Terri Owens’ publicist, stating that Bambi was “not in his normal responsive state”.  This morning, WFAA/Channel 8, KTCK 1310AM and the Dullest Moaning Snooze all reported that the Cowboys’ resident prick had tried to off himself – a story which would seem to have been borne out by this police report (note:  you’ll need Adobe reader to see it).
Today, Bambi denied the whole thing.
“There was no suicide attempt,” Owens said during a packed news conference at the Cowboys’ Valley Ranch headquarters.
Asked why he told Dallas police that he had tried to harm himself, Owens said, “At this point, I really wasn’t as coherent as they probably thought I was. There was a number of people asking me a lot of questions.”
What.  The.  Fuck.  Ever.
On to the PFW.  Thursday night, the 17th-ranked TCU Horned Frogs are at home to play the Brigham Young Cougars.  Gotta tell you, this game scares me.  Give me the Frogs and seven wives…uh, points.
Also tomorrow night, my Arlington Heights Yellow Jackets are “home”, so to speak, against Kennedale.  Kennedale’s 2-3, but they beat Azle, so…
It’ll depend (as it likely will the rest of this season) on how Donnell Dickerson plays.  As he goes, so go the Jackets, apparently.
Saturday afternoon, Sylvester Croom and his Mississipi State Bulldogs visit Baton Rouge for their annual whipping at the hands of the ninth-ranked LSU Tigers.  MSU ain’t Tulane, but they ain’t Auburn, either.  Vegas has ’em at +33, but I’ll be charitable and give you 38. (grin)
Sunday afternoon, the Dallas Cow-Interventionists (???) travel to Tennessee to take on the Titans.  This should be a Cowboys win, even if Jeff Fisher caves in and plays Vinnie Young – and even if Parcells doesn’t and leaves Widdle Terri at home with his shrink.
Which would suit me just fine – I’d love to see the Cowboys give Vinnie his “Welcome to the NFL, rookie” initiation.
OU and Turner Gill’s UBuffalo Bulls are off this week.  Probably couldn’t come soon enough for Mr. Gill, given that Bataan Death March schedule he’s been forced to go through to this point.
We’re back Monday or so with the recap.  In the meantime, let the trash-talking commence.  (LC John Wardle, how’s it feel for the ‘Skins finally being able to beat a Texas any team? )
