PFW:  Best quarterback vs. worst secondary

Talk about the irresistible force versus the very movable object.

The Perfect Football Weekend cranks up once again tonight - a little early this week so that TCU can get a head start on their winter plans, seeing as they likely won't go to a bowl this year.

Tonight they'll be in Louisville, Kentucky to play the Cardinals and the nation's number-1 ranked offense, featuring one of the best quarterbacks in the country, Stefan LeFors.  Louisville positively shredded the Miami defense for one half, and very nearly held on to top the Hurricanes.  TCU flat-out doesn't have a chance this week, and I will predict here that the final margin is at least  30.

Friday night, my Arlington Heights Yellow Jackets take on the Birdville Hawks (no, I'm not making that name up) over in Flower Mound, about 10-15 miles from here.  Think I may actually go to that one.

Saturday, the Oklahoma Sooners get to tee off on the Nebraska Cornhuskers and Bill Callahan's failed MidWest Coast Offense.  This is where Bo Pelini gets his revenge on Nebraska for disrespecting him and not even seriously considering him for their head coaching position this year.  Suffice it to say, I can't wait - I want Pelini to take the ball and shove it right down Nebraska's throat.

The Cowgirls...don't lose Sunday.  Guaranteed.  That's because they play the Ph***adelphia Beagles at home Monday night.  So they'll lose on Monday night. (grumble)  I'm setting the over-under for Vinny Testaverde sacks and/or fumbles at 8.  Give me the over for a batch of wings, anyone?

We'll come back Tuesday for the recap. (And in case anyone was wondering - no, that doesn't mean I'm taking the rest of the week off as far as posting, mkay?)

Your turn now.  Time to talk trash about your teams/arch rivals/etc...

That "Eye" keeps getting blacker

And the big winner for Election Night news coverage...ain't See-BS.

Note to the Democrats who run Viacom: It's time to flush Dan Rather, before he does even more damage to your precious bottom line.

Although the network leads the ratings with entertainment shows such as "CSI,"

Well, when the star of the show looks like His Rudeness... (chuckle)

(Seriously.  I've been told that.)

its scandal-plagued "news" division lags behind NBC's and ABC's.

To employ a Ratherism, it's trailing like a three-legged Dachsund in a greyhound race. (snicker)

"It was a big week for NBC News, which by a decisive margin was the network of choice for Election Night returns. The soon-to-step-down Tom Brokaw led NBC's "Nightly News" to an 11.4 million average (8.0 rating, 15 share), ABC's "World News Tonight" had 9.6 million (6.7, 12) and the "CBS Evening News" had 7.7 million (5.5, 10)," the Associated Press reported today.

Not that that's anything to really crow about, you understand.  I remember a day not too long ago when the Big Three's ratings were at least half again that, if not doubled.

In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if Fox News Channel's numbers were very much in this ballpark.  I'd personally love to see how FNC's numbers, when combined with the free Fox coverage, compared with NBC/MSNBC's.

Ever since Democrat operative Rather tried to throw the election for Kerry by making a fool of himself with his phony National Guard "documents," the American public has avoided his broadcasts more than ever. So, what sort of retirement package might he be offered?

Rope.  Stakes.  Fire ant mound.  Honey.

That'd be a good start.
