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

This edition of the Perfect Football Weekend begins with an interesting article concerning the Limbaugh-St. Louis Rams outrage (hat tip:&#160 LC Rurik):

In the first segment of today’s broadcast (update: transcript here), Rush Limbaugh revealed that he was approached by Dave Checketts about becoming a member of the group bidding for the St. Louis Rams, and that he warned Checketts of a political backlash. He was told that the deal was “wired.”

Rush said nothing implying that he was set up. I suppose it is possible that Checketts and company never thought that Sharpton and Jackson would get involved. Checketts does control a major league franchise, the NHL St. Louis Blues, but the NHL’s black players are not a very powerful force in the league.

However, Rush also announced that George Soros now is part of the Checketts investor group, citing Reuters.

So the question has to be asked: was Rush lured into a manufactured controversy?

One has to wonder – doesn’t one?.&#160 Given that:&#160 1) leftards have an irrational hatred of conservatives, 2) Soros is the leftards’ primary financier at the moment, and 3) Soros, in almost all probability, knew from Checketts that Rush was in on the deal…it stands to reason that widdle Georgina couldn’t resist the temptation to pull a few strings.

Yet another indictment of the pussies on the Left.&#160 Another one that we won’t forget.

On to the PFW.&#160 Gary Patterson’s eighth-ranked Texas Christian Horned Frogs have a home(coming) date with the Colorado State Rams Saturday.&#160 Now, CState’s only 3-3 – but one of those wins was over the Big XII’s UColorado Buffaloes, who can pretty much hold their own against anyone.&#160 Still, TCU usually plays the Rams well here, so even though I don’t think it’ll be the 20-point win Vegas thinks it does, I like the Frogs in this one.

Earlier that day, the Akron Zips (did I get that right?&#160 I can never remember whether it’s them or Toledo) pay a visit to Turner Gill’s bunch at UBuffalo.&#160 Vegas has the Bulls as an 8&#189-point favorite, which I think is about right.&#160 Look for UBeefalo to get its second straight here.

At the same time, Bo Pelini’s 15-ranked Nebraska Cornhuskers will be hosting the Texas Tech Red Raiders up in Lincoln.&#160 Tech is always dangerous, even though Graham Harrell & widdle Mikey Crabtree are no longer there – but at the same time, these are the same guys who lost to UHouston on the road.&#160 (Yes, Houston’s beaten them & Okie State, but they also lost to UTEP.&#160 Go figger.)&#160 Vegas likes the Huskers by 11, but I think it’ll come down to a field goal.

Our first game of Saturday also is our marquee game of the week.&#160 Once again, the Cotton Bowl in Dallas will provide the backdrop for OU and TU in the Red River Shootout – or, as the pussified amongst us are wont to call it now, the Red River Rivalry.&#160 Presumably, these wimpoids will pass out at the first blasting of Colt McCoy.

The Shortdicks – or, as I like to call them, Texas’ third pro team – are favored by three in Vegas, but lines are usually thrown out the window in this game, so we’ll see.

Now, I did promise you that I’d explain why the Dallas Cowgirls were guaranteed not to lose this week.

MERLIN:&#160 It’s because they don’t play, isn’t it?

VENOMOUS:&#160 Well, yes.&#160 They, plus my Arlington Heights Yellow Jackets, are off this week.

OZY MCCOOL:&#160 You pull this every year, y’know.&#160 Gets a bit boring.

VENOMOUS:&#160 Perhaps if your agent could come up with better scriptwriters, y’know?

OZY MCCOOL:&#160 I’m still waiting for him to get me a role in One Of Our Klingons Is Missing.

VENOMOUS:&#160 Okay, okay, I’ll see what I can do.

Anyway, we’re back, probably Sunday, for the recap.&#160 In the meantime, Bucky is favored by 2&#189 at home versus eleventh-ranked Iowa, and my question for HDD is – why?
