Hm.  Maybe I should turn this into a football blog.
(Oh, BTW – you didn’t hear from me last night because I had company at Chez Spatula.  And she  takes priority over any of you. )
Anyway, I’ve been shamed into doing a bonus PFW by our good friend, LC & Denizen Robert Huntingdon.  So once more into the breach, dear friends, as Korrioth’s dear godson Chang told Kirk once…
LSIK&T:  Waitaminnit.  That damnfool Chang was your godson???
KORRIOTH:  Eh.  Father liked him and made me promise.
LSIK&T:  Couldn’t Kang have picked someone a little less smarmy, like maybe Klaa?
KORRIOTH:  He was Korax’s nephew.  It would’ve began a blood feud.
LSIK&T:  (rolls eyes) Another  one?
KORRIOTH:  That’s why Father mated with T’Pring.  He was tired of all the feuding.  Besides, Father says she was better in bed than Mara.
LSIK&T:  Point.  I s’pose that as long as you’re not related to Lursa or B’Etor… (snicker)
KORRIOTH:  (grunt)
Okay, where was I…?
Oh.  Saturday at 2:00, Texarkana Liberty-Eylau takes on Canyon in the quarterfinal round of the state UIL playoffs.  TLE took out a pretty good Royse City team, so I like their chances here.
Sunday, we have Cowboys versus Cowboys Southeast.  Sean Payton’s New Orleans Saints come to town to take on Payton’s last team – y’know, that one coached by the Noo Joisey Con Man…?
Dallas and NO are pretty much mirror images of each other.  Both rely on an offense led by a dynamic quarterback, a solid running game and a stellar defense (NO’s, in fact, is based on more than a few former Cowboys.)  Both have identical 8-4 records, but Dallas’ was crafted against better competition, if for no other reason than that the NFC East is tougher than the NFC South.
Yet, N’awlins has owned the ‘Boys the last few years in the regular season, so we’ll see.
We’re back Monday for the recap, assuming Korrioth hasn’t shoved a painstick up my ass for that Lursa/B’Etor remark…
