Yes, Denizens - I know it's Cafe Press. Yes, I know that they're a liberal-owned company. Yes, I'm aware that the quality of their garments may not be quite as good as ThoseShirts.com.
But unlike ThoseShirts.com, Cafe Press ACTUALLY ANSWERS THE EMAIL I SEND THEM!!!!
Got clue, ThoseShirts???

This week’s edition of the Perfect Football Weekend™ begins by noting the passing of the Matt Millen “Draft A Stud Receiver Every Stinkin’ Year*” era.
(*except for when they drafted Joey Harrington, after which they probably wish they had  drafted a receiver)
Damn.  There go the Lions-as-laughingstock days. (sigh)
Of Millen’s nine first-round selections, eight were offensive players.  In the Lions’ first three games this year, they fell behind by at least 18 at some point, and by 21 twice.  (For the baseball-minded among you, that’s like the Texass StRangers trading away four-fifths of what could have been a damned good starting rotation, then getting their brains beaten in by scores like 19-17 and 15-13…what?  That actually happened?  Why is Jon Daniels still here?)
On to the PFW.  My Arlington Heights Yellow Jackets open district play tonight agasint the Dunbar Wildcats.  Dunbar is 3-1, just like Heights, except they’re ranked top 5 in the area in 4A.
Then again, so was Birdville.  Guess we’ll see what happens.
Saturday, Turner Gill’s UBuffalo Bulls are a 6½-point road dog to Central Michigan, meaning the SpatulaLine™ is anything under 17.  But who knows?  The Bulls have been full of surprises this year, so it’s not out of the realm of possibility that they actually win this one.
Also Saturday, the Nebraska Cornhuskers face their first real test of the season against Virgina Tech and College Football’s Second-Ugliest Uniforms Ever, Ever™.  Same outfit that East Carolina upset in Week 1 of the season.
But one thing East Carolina has that Nebraska doesn’t is overall team speed.  So the Huskers, who are favored at home by seven, probably don’t get the win here, but we’ll see.
Our marquee game for this week means that I don’t have a Snowball’s Chance In Hell™ of having a PFW thie week, because two of my teams play each other.  Gary Patterson’s 24th-ranked Texas Christian Horned Frogs are going to play Bob Stoopes’ 2nd-ranked Oklahoma Sooners and their “new” no-huddle offense.  And they have about as much chance with the Sooners this  time as Heights did last week against Celina.
Oh, well.
Sunday’s game is the Dallas C’boys hosing the Warshingt’n F’skins.
MERLIN:  You mean “hosting”.
KORRIOTH:  You mean “Redskins”
VENOMOUS:  No and no.
(If that doesn’t smoke out LC John Wardle, nothing will.  
)
Washington’s defense, looking for all the world like it was overrated to begin with, is now missing star acquisition Jason Taylor, who underwent surgery to repair an injured calf and is out indefinitely.  The secondary is still a bad-assed unit, but Terrell Owens torched them for four TDs last year, and when you double Owens, you run the risk of getting killed by Witten.  Add to that a quarterback trying to learn yet another new offense, a rookie head coach, and it could be a long afternoon for the Burgundy & Brie.
Which is fine.  Just fine.  
We’re back with the recap Monday or so.  In the meantime, Bucky is a 6½ road dog to Michigan – and my question, HDD, is “why?”.

Nutscrape,
if you so desire - but why in blazes would you want to use a browser from a company that had to hide behind Janet El Reño's skirt to be successful?
And don't even get me started on Opera or Chrome. I'm not about to trust any browser that won't let me change its color scheme.
The answer is “They’re not.”
The Badgers are a 5 1/2 point favorite against the Wolverines.
It’s still the Big House, and the Wolverines are still the Wolverines, and it’s still the Big Ele…err…Ten, so, this is still a tough game for the Badgers. But, with Rich “the Mercenary With No Class” Rodriguez as the coach, this Michigan team doesn’t scare me that much.
I’ll take Bucky, and you can have the points. Installing a spread offense with out spread offense players, and forgetting about defense, is a really good way to get pounded in the Big Ele…err…Ten.
That was one of 50 worst officiated games in history. Exactly how, pray tell, can a lineman be ‘illegally downfield’ on a quick slant?
