We start this edition of the Perfect Football Weekend by noting, with a modicum of surprise, that Warshington Deadskins owner/spoiled brat Danny Snyder did not&#160 fire head coach Jim Zorn after the ‘Skins surrendered the first win of the year for the previously 0-and-5 Kansas City Chiefs.&#160 Coming on the heels of giving up the Detroit Lions’ first (and, we might add, only) win in nearly two years, and noting Danny Boy’s tempestuous nature, one would have supposed ol’ Jimbo would have been searching the classifieds for an offensive coordinator’s position by now.

Instead, Danny Boy simply told Jimbo he’d no longer be calling the plays.

Zorn was told after a 14-6 setback to the previously winless Kansas City Chiefs that he will not call offensive plays anymore. Executive vice president of football operations Vinny Cerrato met with Zorn and told him that he has too many responsibilities right now, Redskins’ director of communications Zack Bolno said.

A league source told ESPN.com’s Matt Mosley that Sherman Lewis, who was hired Oct. 6 as an offensive consultant for the Redskins, will assume play-calling duties. Lewis was the play caller during his tenures as offensive coordinator in Minnesota, Green Bay and Detroit.

Good luck with all that.&#160 According to the linked article, Warshington – and yes, the spelling is deliberate, thank you – is…

the first team in NFL history to face six consecutive winless opponents, but they haven’t managed to take advantage.

Suddenly, I feel a little better about the matchups with the Cowgirls this year.&#160 Not much.&#160 Just a little.

On to the PFW.&#160 Back to action for my Arlington Heights Yellow Jackets, as they take on the South Hills Scorpions tonight on the southeast side of town.&#160 The Scorps have had a tough time of it this year, giving us a big oh-fer (0-7).&#160 I don’t look for anything to change; give me Heights to win comfortably.

After a two game win streak, it’s back to reality for Turner Gill and the UBuffalo Bulls, as they travel to Western Michigan for a Saturday morning tilt.&#160 All Turner’s running backs are hurt, so Zach Maynard is going to have to have a monster game with Naaman Roosevelt if the Bulls are to have a chance.&#160 WMU is favored by five at home, which sounds about right.

Bob Stoopes and the 25th-ranked Oklahoma Sooners could have picked a better opponent for the post-TU debacle hangover.&#160 Unfortunately, the schedule has them at 21st-ranked Kansas to play RockChalkJayhawk&#153, who’s a 7&#189-point home dog.&#160 A betting man will take Kansas straight up and be happy; I’m not terribly convinced that last week was OU’s last loss this year.

Fortunately for Bo Pelini and the Nebraska Cornhuskers, their own hangover for the TTech loss will be somewhat easier, as Iowa State comes in to offer up their virgin sacrifice.&#160 It’s an 18-point spread in Vegas; look for the Huskers in a romp.

The marquee college game of the week occurs in Provo, Utah tomorrow – so much so that Kirkie Herbstreit, Lee Corso and the rest of ESPN’s College Gameday crew will set up shop there for the broadcast, as seventh-ranked (BCS) Texas Christian goes up against the 16th-ranked BYU Fucking Mormons in Big Game Of The Year Number One&#153.

If this is to be the magical year that everyone’s forecasting for TCU, Patterson’s boys have&#160 to win this game.&#160 Dalton & company are favored by 2&#189 on the road, so it’s really a pick’em.&#160 The over-under on number of fingernails I have left afterwards is two.

In the Anti-Climactic Game Of The Year&#153 on Sunday, the Cowgirls will return to their get-the-crap-beaten-outta-them ways by the Atlanta Falcons.&#160 That is to say, unless Miles Austin has another lights-out game…?

Nah.&#160 I don’t think so, either.

We’re back Monday for the recap.&#160 Meanwhile, Bucky is off this week, so the question for HDD is:&#160 What went wrong against Iowa?

One response to “PFW:&#160 Not&#160 fired…???”

  1. HDD says:

    What went wrong against Iowas is that Iowas is a top 10 team, and Wisconsin isn’t. While a lot better than I thought they were going to be (I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but, my criticism of the Badgers has tapered off. It’s rather silly to second guess success.), the Badgers still aren’t a national power, as they were under Barry. But, this team’s early successes are making me think that maybe, just maybe, Coach Bielema isn’t the buffoon I thought he was. The Badgers early growing pains under him *may* have just been the team adjusting to new systems and coaches.
