Denizens, as we start another Perfect Football Weekend™, talk in the world of College F’ball, You Bet!™ is on Johnny Football Johnny Signature Johnny Manziel, the defending Heisman Trophy winner, and Signature-gate, where multiple “brokers” (read:  pissant swine) are claiming that he sold his signature for approximately seven large.  (That’s $7,000 for those of you in Mykki Chickenshit’s Church of the SubTarded.)
There’s talk of suspensions & whatnot, but one Moaning Snooze columnist seems to think nothing’ll come of it:
The rub might be if Texas A&M decides to suspend him pending a finding by the NCAA. If he plays before the NCAA makes a ruling, they might make the Aggies void any wins he plays in. But I think the Aggies might be willing to roll the dice on that.
My take on it is, what’s the big deal?  He’s making money doing something he’s done, independent of the NCAA, for nearly his entire life – signing his name.  There are some things the NCAA just can’t control, and this is one of them – or should be, anyway.
On to the football.  Right now, Raven is coming back on Panther in Baltimore (it’s 34-24, Carolina, as I write this).  Baltimore’s apparently contracted a case of the Dallas Oopsies™ (in other words, they’ve coughed up the ball a few times), but they seem to be coming back.
Friday night, CBS will have Seahawk-Packer from the frrrroooooozzzzzennnnnnnnn tunnnnnnnndrrrrrraaaaaaaa  (a little Chris Berman lingo, there)
Saturday, this house will be watching Cowgirl-Bengal.  My first chance to see Andy Dalton.  Woo hoo!    In addition, CBS will have Ram-Bronco from Denver.  Peyton should have a field day.
Saint-Texan and ViQueen-FairyWhiner on Sunday round out the schedule.
As usual, I’ll have comment on anything I get to see.  Recaps with links if not.  And I’ll try to make it on Monday if I can.
See you then.
