Denizens, this week’s episode of the Perfect Football Weekend™ opens with that Mickey Mouse network, ESPN (and I mean that literally; they’re owned by Disney), infringing upon the free-speech rights of one Hank Williams, Jr.
BOSTON (Reuters) – ESPN pulled Hank Williams Jr.’s theme song from its “Monday Night Football” broadcast in a rebuke to the country music star for comments earlier in the day comparing President Barack Obama to Adolf Hitler.
Williams, a Republican, had appeared on a Fox News’ morning television show “FOX and Friends” on Monday, and was asked which of his party’s presidential candidates he liked.
Obama and Boehner played side by side that day against Vice President Joe Biden and Republican Ohio Governor John Kasich at the height of the congressional budget debate.
Asked what he did not like about the friendly bipartisan golf match, Williams replied, “Come on! It’d be like Hitler playing golf with (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu.”
For Hank’s part, he wound up apologizing for the comparison – which, if you ask me, he absolutely should not have done – and the four-lettered bastards wound up making the removal permanent.
Now, I seem to remember a helluva lotta libtards comparing Bambi’s predecessor to this Hitler character beginning sometime around November 2000.  And it continues to this very day.  But you don’t hear any angst – mock or otherwise – over that, now do you?
(crickets)
Nah, didn’t think so.
Memo to the four-lettered:  I don’t have to watch your network.  I don’t have to do business with your sponsors.  And I don’t have to apologize for happening to agree with Hank Williams, Jr’s first impression on the matter.
For the record, yeah – I think Bambi is  another Hitler.  Come do something about it ESPN, you chickenshits.
Awright, on to the football.  It’s Yet Another Thursday Game™ for Ged Kates and my Arlington Heights Yellow Jackets, and it’s a Guaranteed Win Night™ as well, for they are playing the North Side Steers.  North Side generally wins one game a year.
Against Carter-Riverside.
Heights in a major squash.
Saturday, Gary Patterson’s unranked  Texas Christian Horned Frogs – yes, I meant to point that out, why do you ask? – travel to Mrs. Venomous’ hometown of San Diego to take on the Aztecs of SD State.
Coach Brady Hoke is no longer there, having migrated to Michigan, and he’s been replaced by former New Mexico coach Rocky Long.  But they still have a helluva quarterback (Ryan Lindley) and a helluva running back (Ronnie Hillman), and they damned near beat the Frogs at Amon Carter last year.  However, Vegas has the Frogs as a four-point favorite.
I think that’s bogus.  I think TCU loses this game, and it won’t be that close.  You think SMUT bombed ’em out of the stadium? SD’s offense is better.
Also Saturday, it’s the annual…ahem…
VENOMOUS:  RED RIVER SHOOTOUT, YOU PC PANSY-ASSED DOUCHEBAGS!!!1!!ONE!1!!ELEVENMILLIONTY!!1!
KORRIOTH:  Feel better now, m’liege?
VENOMOUS:  Why…yes.  Yes, I do. 
…in which Bob Stoops’ 3rd-ranked Oklahoma Sooners (Great Honkin’ Cthulu™, how bad do you gotta beat someone to keep a ranking around here?) take on Widdle Mackie Brown’s (hack, spit) 11th-ranked TU Shortdicks Longhorns Shortdicks.  The major news this week for whom, was the announcement of the departure of one Garrett Gilbert.
Imagine.  From playing in the BCS National Championship Game two years ago, to being ejected out the third-string chute last week.  How the mighty have fallen. 
Early reports have Gilbert possibly headed to…SMUT.  (Please, Lord, please  make that happen.  Little Junie Jones’d start him over Padron, and we’d kill ‘im…(cackle))
Things don’t get much easier for Bo Pelini’s 14th-ranked Nebraska Cornhuskers, as The  Ohio State University comes a-callin’ up in Lincoln.
Believe it or not, Vegas is actually making the Huskers an 11½-point favorite in this game.  But NU doesn’t have a secondary either, so don’t exactly etch that in stone, if you know what I mean.
And this week, Tony “El Choko” Romo is guaranteed not to lose the game for his team.
OZY McCOOL:  The usual reason, m’lord?
VENOMOUS:  The usual reason, Ozy.  Cowgirlz don’t play this week.
MERLIN:  Plug Kansas back in for a game, sir?
VENOMOUS:  Kansas is a 31½-point road dog at Oklahoma State, Wizard.  Whaddya you  t’ink?
MERLIN:  Shutting up now, m’liege…
VENOMOUS:  Thank you.
We’re back Monday or so with the recap.  In the meantime, Bucky’s reward for destroying Nebraska is an off week, so my question for HDD is…dude, you ever gonna get a day off again?

Ohio State doesn’t have an offense.
13 points seems pretty easy.
Oklahoma should produce a history making whupping.
Only chance I get to see an ESPN broadcast will be Monday,
Bears-Lions, only because the locals get it free.
Lions in a romp. ESPN should get fucked.
Was that UT-Austin, UT-Arlington, or UT-Amarillo?
