Ladies & gentlemen…I give you your&#160 2014 Darwin Award winner.

Oscar Aguilar is a man about town in Mexico City, documenting his indulgent endeavors through a slue of selfies on Facebook. Perusing his page, Aguilar is seen posing for pictures in front of sports cars, perched atop expensive motorbikes, and of course the quintessential photos any respectable album must have — your’s truly embracing attractive women.

Aguilar needed to add more bang to his Facebook pictures, so naturally the next step was a selfie with a gun. Knowing how to use it was of lesser importance than impressing his internet friends with the photo — Aguilar accidentally shot himself in the head while posing with the gun that he failed to realize was loaded, United Kingdom’s ‘Metro‘ reported.

The 21-year-old social media phenom died on the way to the hospital in Mexico City.

What.&#160 A.&#160 Dumbass.

Denizens, the “decision” to which I had referred back in April (yeah, yeah, I know…some “next few days”, eh, Venomous?) was going to be to close This Fine Blog&#153.&#160 I have neither the time, nor inclination anymore, to write.

I have a new house.&#160 The workload at my job is ponderous.&#160 Ponderous, man, fuckin’ ponderous! (a little Casey Kasem lingo, there)&#160 And not to put too fine a point on it…certain in the Blogosphere have proven to me that it’s not worth putting up with it.

But, having said all that…I still have one last Perfect Football Weekend&#153 season left in me.

Those of you who’ve read me for any length of time know that about this time every year, I start jonesing for football (not to be confused with Jerry Jonesing for football, which means making stupid-assed decisions year after year, thinking having a Victoria’s Secret© at AT&T Stadium is more important than having a winning football team on that house’s field, that sort of thing), which means everything & everyone else take back seats.

So here we are.&#160 Once more through the breech, dear friends.

Same rules as always: I follow my teams here, you follow your teams in comments.&#160 I don’t give two flying fucks at rolling donut holes how your teams do – just how mine do.&#160 And the football weekend isn’t Perfect unless all my teams win.&#160 (Unless I declare Executive Fiat&#153, which will always come with an explanation.)

Here are the teams I’m following:

1.&#160 High school:&#160 The (Fort Worth) Arlington Heights Yellow Jackets.&#160 Year Two for Phil Young and the Jackets, and the good news this year is that Aledo (a 7-84 loss last year) is not on the schedule.&#160 Thus, a 5-5 playoff team from last year looks to have a better season.&#160 They start with White Settlement Brewer (wait, not Azle? not Birdville?) in four weeks.

2.&#160 College:&#160 The Texas Christian University Horned Frogs.&#160 Year Three in the Big 12 11 10 However Many There Are for Gary Patterson and the Tadpoles.&#160 GP still has the delustional idea that Trevone Boykin is a quarterback, so look for another 4-8 year or so. But he has a couple of new offensive co-coordinators, and he still has a decent enough defense, so we’ll see what happens.&#160 Now to see which teams are crappy enough to lose to them…

3.&#160 Pro:&#160 The Dallas Cowboys.&#160 Another year, another Sean Lee season-ending injury – this time before training camp even starts.&#160 His knee, of course.&#160 Thus, a defense that was already suspect is probably going to be just as bad this year.

One more new piece for the offensive line, plus a new play caller (Scott Linehan), and they’ll have to keep the Cowgirls in games again.

Look for 6-10, and Jason “Red-Headed Jebus” Garrett’s exit from the franchise shortly thereafter.

In addition, this year we’ll play things a little differently.&#160 I’ll pick one or two games at random that interest me – some from past PFW teams, some from teams that have never shown up here before.&#160 (Look for Turner Gill’s Liberty University team a lot here.&#160 And anytime I sense that one of my least favorite teams is going to get their heads kicked in – you know, SMU, Arkansas, Boise State, that sort – it’ll show up in the list.)

Now, I was hoping to at least have a blurb about the Hall of Fame Game&#153 in Canton prior to publication, but that home thing reared its ugly head again.&#160 So I’ll just mention that the NY Football Douchebags beat Buffalo last night – seriously, who doesn’t&#160 beat Buffalo? – and leave it at that.

We’ll return Thursday with the first installment of the season, when I rip the Hall of Fame committee (or whomever picks these guys) for one of their stupid-assed selections.
