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

Denizens, we’ll start this edition of the Perfect Football Weekend&#153 by pontificating about one Ndamukong Suh of the Detroit Lions. And the pontification will begin with this video of Suh’s so-called “humble beginnings”.

The commecial speaks of humble beginnings being…”humbling”.

Apparently Suh’s never watched the thing.&#160 Because what he had to say about Matt Ryan’s foot injury during Falcons-Lions sure as Hell&#153 wasn’t “humble”:

Speaking to reporters Monday, Suh denied “trash talking” Ryan and noted the injury occurred when Falcons left tackle Will Svitek stepped on Ryan’s ankle. Suh called the play “karma” for “all the bad stuff” the Falcons’ offensive line has “done in the past.”

Said Suh: “There are many, many, many plays that I could go back to that I watch on film all week that their offensive line has done,” Suh said, “and that they’ve been coached to do, as far as I know. It’s not anything that’s not been said; it’s not anything that’s new.”

Asked specifically if he said anything to Ryan after the injury, Suh said:

“I have nothing to say. The man’s sitting on the ground. We’ve obviously continued to do our job, getting to him, causing havoc, his own quarterback takes him out. … I have no comment, no issues, no nothing — nothing to say to him. At that time, when he’s on the ground, there’s nothing that I have to say to him. We’ve done our job, we’ve been in his face, we’ve caused him to go down, we’ve caused his offensive lineman to hurt him.”

Yeah, that’s real humble, all right.

Remember, Suh, you fat dumbass – karma’s a real bitch.&#160 You guys are good, but you have yet to play Green Bay, and they&#160 have a good offensive line – maybe the best in the league.&#160 And wouldn’t it be…karmic…if somehow you managed to be pushed around so well by that line that you…oh, I dunno…blew out an ACL?

Just sayin’.&#160 Karma, y’know, for all the shit you talk for thinking you’re that much of a bad-ass.

On to the football.&#160 If it’s Thursday, it must be my Arlington Heights Yellow Jackets.&#160 Sure enough, this is Hi-Octane Test&#153 number two, as they take on Western Hills tonight.&#160 Hills ain’t bad, either – they gave Southwest more of a fight than the Jackets did.&#160 Don’t feel good about this one, either.

Tomorrow night, Gary Patterson’s TCU Horned Frogs play BigamY U at Cowboys Stadium.&#160 It, however, is not&#160 a conference game, what with the Mormons having gone independent this year.&#160 TCU’s still better, though – by 13&#189, according to Vegas – so the Frogs shouldn’t have too much trouble.

Saturday, Bob Stoops’ ninth-ranked Oklahoma Soonersis on the road against eighth-ranked Kansas State.&#160 Pains me to say this, but I think OU’s on its way to its first two-game losing streak in quite a while.&#160 K-State’s handled their to-date common opponent (Kansas) far better than OU did, though Vegas has the Sooners as a solid 13&#189-point favorite.&#160 Go figure.

Also on Saturday, Bo Pelini’s 14th-ranked Nebraska Cornhuskers will play host to the 11th-ranked Michigan State Spartans.&#160 The Huskers are a four-point favorite at home, which means Vegas thinks it’s a toss-up.&#160 But State just got through upsetting Bucky, so I’d have to give them the edge.&#160 We’ll see.

Sunday night, I’ll turn down the TV sound, watch Faith Hill wiggle & wriggle and try to decide whether I’m impressed or not.

MRS. VENOMOUS (with cast-iron skillet):&#160 Who are you and what did you do with my husband?

VENOMOUS:&#160 Blonde, honey, remember?&#160 Now get Eva Longoria out there, naked…

MRS. VENOMOUS (with cast-iron skillet):&#160 KA-BONNNNNGGGGGG!!!!!

…uh, ow.

Afterwards, we’ll watch the Dallas Cowgirlz up in Filthydelpha against They Whom Would Buy A Lombardi Trophy&#153, the Beagles, feat. Mikey “Woof!” Vick.

Now, El Choko’s still starting, so normally I’d pull for Dallas’ opponent.&#160 But there Ain’t No Fucking Way In Hell&#153 I’m pulling for any Phuckadelphia sports team.&#160 Ever.&#160 No.&#160 Way.&#160 No.&#160 How.

Maybe I’ll pull for the refs.

In other action, Rock Chalk plays the sacrificial lamb for TU, after the Shortdicks go oh-for-Oklahoma, and Bucky is a 7&#189-point favorite at the Horseshoe vs. The&#160 Ohio State University.

We’re back Monday for the recap.&#160 In the meantime, my question for HDD is:&#160 does Bucky have a chance against the Buckeyes after what Michigan State did to ’em?

   I have a question.

   Why Nebraska, Oklahoma and Wisconsin?

   I understand TCU, local team. but those three?

   Wisconsin? The freaking Badgers (I do remember when they were as bad as Minnesota)?

   I would think you could find other Texas teams to root for, unless you went to said schools.

   Just asking…

   Well, Bucky isn’t even included in the weekly PFW totals, but I give them a mention in honor of the Humble Devildog, who used to be a regular here and is a close friend (he hails from Wisconsin).

   You’ll note that I usually end the preview with a question to him.&#160 As he’s on the road at the moment driving a truck, I never expect an answer from him, but I ask it anyway in his honor.

   With OU, they’re the preferred team of the SpatulaGoddess.&#160 And I have a great respect for Bob Stoops – who, once he dropped his arrogant facade, showed himself to be a coach who is driven to win, and a good guy to boot.&#160 Gotta love someone like that.

   In the case of Nebraska, I have an old friend (in fact, the best man from my first marriage) who hails from Nebraska and follows them religiously.&#160 Plus, the current Kansas head coach (Turner Gill) is an old classmate of mine from high school, and played there.

   I would think you could find other Texas teams to root for, unless you went to said schools.

   Nah, not really.&#160 I’m an old devotee of the former Southwest Conference, and don’t have much love for any major Texas school.
