Local time where you're at. ("Where you're at"?)

High school – (Fort Worth) Arlington Heights Yellow Jackets:  The Yellow Jackets will once again be led by coach Duke Christian – which is a puzzle in itself as to why he’s still there.  Oh, well, as long as he keeps taking the Gold & Blue to the playoffs, I guess it doesn’t matter that they get their asses handed to them in the first round every year.

Don’t know any names of players yet, so I’m not sure if last year’s pseudo-phenom, Donnell Dickerson, is still even there (he might have graduated, not sure).  Hope to have more before their first game.

College: – Texas Christian University Horned Frogs:  Gary Patterson marks yet another year as the Tadpoles’ head coach, and brings back eight starters on offense and six on defense.

TCU’s fortunes this year will all depend on the cannon arm of sophomore quarterback Andy Dalton.  They’re gonna have to score a lot to win, I fear – the defense is once again undersized, but unlike last year, it’s also now inexperienced.  Let’s hope Dalton’s freshman-baptism-by-fire has tempered his abilities to a fine edge this year – he’s gonna need it.

College – University of Oklahoma Sooners – I’ve come to respect (and even admire) the will to win that is embodied in Bob Stoops.  Plus, he’s matured some over the years, and is a little more humble nowadays, which is good.

Stoops will bring back Sam Bradford, Jermaine Gresham and a cast of thou…well, dozens (grin)…as they try yet again for a national championship.  Or at least to not be embarrassed in their bowl game. 

College – University of Nebraska Cornhuskers – SCBBS welcomes home the Huskers after a five-year absence.  Having deep-sixed Failed Bit™ Bill Callahan, Big Red made the hire it should’ve made five years ago and brought former LSU defensive guru Bo Pelini back as head coach.  As the defensive coordinator for the Huskers, Pelini got his players to run through brick walls for him, and doubtless he’ll bring that same intensity & passion to the offensive side, as well.

College – University of Buffalo (NY) Bulls – Turner Gill, former Arlington Heights & Nebraska quarterback, coached this motley crew last year to a 5-7 record (5-3 confernce, 4-2 division and a share of the division title) and a Mid-American Conference Coach-Of-The-Year award.  The Bulls are picked to finish third in the MAC East this year, and even received three first-place votes.  Not bad for a third-year coach.

As usual, we will give Turner the benefit of the doubt in his games, allowing them a little extra slack when it comes to the Vegas line.  This year, as long as the Bulls (when they’re the underdog) can hold the opposition to within 10 points of the line, that will count as a victory in the PFW.  (May do something similar with Arlington Heights, too – still thinking about that one.)

Pro – Dallas Cowboys – Wade Phillips led the C’boys to a 13-3 record and what should  have been a playoff win against the NY Football Douchebags and their pussified quarterback, E-why Manning.

This year, with a re-tooled secondary, the addition of Zach Thomas at linebacker and an even stronger DeMarcus Ware & Anthony Spencer, the ‘Boys should be favored to play in Tampa for Super Bowl XLIII.

Tony Romo returns at quarterback with the same offensive cast of characters – Terrell Owens, James Witten and Marion “The Barbarian” Barber, protected by a massive offensive line.

Once Adam Jones is reinstated to football, he will make a strong secondary even stronger.  (And when was the last time you could say “strong secondary” and “Cowboys” in the same sentence, hm?

Now, the rules for the PFW are simple:  All my teams which are playing on a given weekend have to win (or in Buffalo’s case, cover) for a Perfect Football Weekend™ to be declared.  As usual, I just care about my teams – I don’t give a flying fuck about your teams; that’s what the comments are for.  And participation in PFW threads are most welcome.

We’ll crank up things tomorrow for the Hall of Fame Game on Sunday.  (There may be more games on the toob; I just don’t know about ‘em yet.)  See you then.

Okay, all you in the Holier-Than-Thou Club™, front & center.

Listen up.  There are some things you need to take into consideration here:

Now< I will readily grant you that Our Man Pete™ probably  could have picked a better place to hold a fund-raiser.  Probably.  Having said that…

1) The thing was damned near 18 effin’ months ago, for fuck’s sake!  The damned thing has been freakin’ public knowledge  for about that long.  Meaning that the Lame Stream Mediots™ and the Demoscum (but we repeat ourselves) have had access to that information for that long.  (And I think you can safely trust me on this:  Pete Sessions can’t take a dump without the Donktards knowing about it.  No Republican can – just ask Larry Craig.)

Has it not occurred to you that if there was political hay to be made about this, it woulda been made a helluva lot sooner?!?!?!

2) Take a look at this blurb:

The Forty Deuce is a popular Mandalay Bay spot that features a burlesque show. Such routines are considered classier than pole dancing and generally attract just as many women as men. They feature elaborate costumes, but dancers do eventually strip to near nudity.

And later:

A review on the club’s Web site states: “Jaws drop and drinks are ignored as the tempo picks up and the dancer steps up, shedding boa, gown and gloves towards the electrifying finale. After the show, our celebrity DJ drops in a dance groove and it’s dancing ’til dawn!

Okay, define for me “near nudity”.  Verily, verily I say unto you, I’m willing to wager that there’s more skin shown at a TCU football home game.

And speaking of showing skin…

3) Get a load of this load from a local Demoscum Cupid Stunt™:

Democrats were happy to pile on the congressman.

“He’s such a boring guy that a little pizzazz may help him,” said Darlene Ewing, chairwoman of the Dallas County Democratic Party. “I thought they were the party of family values, but they are having fundraisers at burlesque shows.”

Oh, really?  Someone wanna tell me where these Demoscum were when See-BS was getting off scot-fucking-free over Janet Jackson’s little “wardrobe malfunction”?  Anyone?  Bueller?

I’ll tell you where they likely were:  Boozing it up in fucking celebration  that the FCC got its ass handed to it, that’s where.  The whole effin’ world got to see Miss Nasty’s tit and they were creaming their panties over it, but they’ll throw Pete Sessions under the bus for a show where there were more naughty bits covered up!

Fucking hypocrites, the whole lot of them.

Which leads me to point 4) If the average person thinking with their head, rather than their ass – when the hell did anyone start believing the LSM or  the Demoscum (but we repeat outselves) on anything?????

I’ll repeat again, for those of you who haven’t been paying attantion:  If the LSM tells me the sky is blue, I’m going out and double-checking.  I don’t take the LSM’s word about anything.

Ever.

So, Cathie Adams and the rest of the evangelicals – let’s try to remember the good that Pete Sessions is doing for the state of Texas and the nation, and remember the source of this attempt to throw him under the bus, and just take it fucking easy, okay???

Geeze.
