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

This week’s episode of the Perfect Football Weekend begins with this blurb about former Ar-kansas Piglet and current Jacksonville Jaguar Matt Jones having been busted and arraigned on a cocaine charge.

The curiosity is that this wasn’t more widely disseminated & trumpeted throughout the news-o-sphere.

Oh, sure – google “Matt Jones” and “news” and you get all sorts of hits – but something like this usually makes a bigger splash in the broadcast media than this.&#160 As it was, the SpatulaGoddess (long may she exude ginormous quantities of hawtness (grin)) was the one to alert me to this, and then only by accident – she was, at the time, pointing me to a sports-oriented blog across which she’d stumbled.

Now, I’ll be the first to admit I don’t know how it’s playing either in Jacksonville or Little Roach – neither burgh has ever been a fixture on my world-traveler (*cough*) itinerary.&#160 I simply find it curious that I’d not heard about the story at all until this week.

MERLIN:&#160 Don’t suppose it’s due to the color of his skin, do you?

LSIK&T:&#160 Honestly, Wizard, I don’t know.&#160 This whole thing was kept quiet, compared to what Michael Irvin, Erik Williams, et. al, received – but then again, C’boys are, as a rule, of a higher profile than Jacksonville Jaguars.

MERLIN:&#160 Point.

Okay, on to the PFW.&#160 We’re still in preseason, so tonight’s matchups are thus:&#160 Steel & Bill (read:&#160 the Steelers & the Bills) will demonstrate superior football to the ‘Norks in Toronto (look for a Pitt victory here) and Philthy will host the Carolina Panthas (a little Mike Rhyner (KTCK 1310/The Ticket) lingo, there).&#160 The Beagles should win at home.

Friday evening, the whole nation (minus, perhaps, HDD (grin)) will be tuned to Fox to watch Da Raiiiiduhs&#160 (a little Chris Berman lingo, there) visit the Tennessee Titans.&#160 Has anyone seen JaMarcus Russell recently?

Saturday’s games include the Deadskins traveling to Hoffa’s Mausoleum, aka the Meadowlands, to take on Favre Almighty and the NY J-E-T-S-JetsJetsJets!!!&#160 If that O-line can’t do any better than it did last week, Favre may re-retire after the game.

In addition, we also have Colts-Falcons, ViQueens-Baltimore Thugs (as long as unconvicted criminal Ray Lewis is still there), Fins-Jags, Tex-annes – Aint’s, Bolts-Rams, Cards-Chiefs, Bears-Seahawks, Packers-FairyWhiners…and my game, the C’boys at Denver to take on the Broncos.

Last year, the Broncs were a mite peeved that Dallas actually came to play.&#160 It’ll be interesting to see if they remember that.

Romo & company will likely play a little more than last week – that is to say, two series instead of one.&#160 Yawn.

Sunday we have Lions-Bengals (oh, my!), and the Pansies will migrate south to take on the Bucs in Tampa.&#160 Monday has the Browns at the NY Football Douchebags.

We’re back Tuesday for a limited recap.&#160 In the meantime – anyone seen Mr. Wardle?&#160
