Level VII | @OpenYourEyes_LookUpToTheSkies | Six Nations | Yanks & Jets Banter | YouTube Rabbithole
Alright @YouTheReader,
In ‘24, His or Her Words, Not Mine has Levels by Avicii on in the background. It’s a happy song so I figured that would be better to throw up on people’s social media timelines every Thursday. If you ever find anything funny on the internet, have a story of your own you want to share, have your own insight on your favorite sports team, or even a Guinness recommendation, whatever it may be, please feel free to shoot over a text, direct message on social media, or email WeekToWeekNotes@gmail.com.
The vocal sample to this tune comes from Etta James’ “Something’s Got a Hold on Me”, originally sung in 1962.
Moving on…

In the middle of last week, a fellow writer @openyoureyes_lookuptotheskies, commented on Top 10 Reasons Mr. Brightside is the Pub Anthem of a Generation. Naturally, this reminded me to play Mr. Brightside which is always the right move in any situation. After listening to loads of music along the way, it’s still in fact the pub anthem of a generation. Just wanted to start by saying thanks for the nice comment.
It would appear the guys in green are going to romp this 6 Nations. I’m not Scottish, the wife is, however, I was shouting at the TV on Saturday, robbed in the final play….😢 And to make things worse, I’d run out of Guinness ……😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
The guys in green are looking good, but one match at a time! (@YouTheReader The Scottish robbery that Tony is referring to is how their match with France ended on Saturday. In the closing minutes, the Scottish team drove the pitch, got to the goal line, and even crossed the plane. However, Rugby isn’t American football, the ball needs to touch the field of play in the endzone for the try to count, meaning the player has to physically Touch the ball Down to score. In situations like this, defenders will purposely try to get a hand under the ball to make sure the try doesn’t count. In this case, it wasn’t called a try by the referee in real time so when they went to the replay and it wasn’t conclusive, they went with what was originally called on field. It surely looks like the ball touched the ground, but they couldn’t find the right angle with all the bodies flying around. I guess this goes to show that the NFL isn’t the only football that has controversial finishes that come down to replay.) I feel even more sorry that Tony ran out of Guinness!

All of this ^ is so cool !!
Haha thats Tony from UK. Very nice guy. Pretty cool because I only met him for 5 minutes at a Brooklyn bar, I think he might have a son over who either goes to school or works over here so he comes to NY every now and again. Big sports fan and he loves a proper pint of Guinness.
Awesome !!

1st Half
What is wrong with this guy?
He looked extra amped up in pregame too.
2nd Half
Wow
Wowww. That is insane luck.
Feel like they pull away pretty quick. Maybe wrong. It feels like it was all about the 49ers and they have done much. We’ll see.
Jujuan Jennings for MVP?
Didn’t even think of that. He should! If they win obviously.
Extra point miss, huge.
OT
Romo says leverage more than anybody I’ve ever heard.
Haha true
Hardman !!
JETS LEGEND… I know Tom Brady’s career is probably never gonna be matched. But Mahomes is the best I’ve ever seen. I had some money on the Chiefs tonight, and honestly, it was never in doubt.
How old is Mahomes? He prob wins 2 more.
28
Yea 2 more at least. Can the Jets start singing free agents after midnight?
I don’t think so… but we got this!
We do. This year was just a dream - and now we wake up with Rogers already on the team. We need a good offseason.
Woohoo new jerseys!! That I won’t be buying.
It’s actually unbelievable that Mecole Hardman caught the Super Bowl-winning touchdown - for a different team!
If Rogers doesn’t get hurt, maybe he catches that for the Jets. Probably not, but maybe.

This is amazing!!!
Haha all-time elaborate prank, Francoeur’s face at the end is great 😂
Napoleon Dynamite was a ‘04 Summer cultural phenomenon that rarely happens today. The movie was almost so stupid that it took on a life of its own. It was shot in just 22 days. The lead actor, Jon Hader, was only paid $1,000 to play Napoleon Dynamite and it somehow grossed over $40 million. The famous dance routine that Hader did was all improvised using 3 different songs and then they edited his best moves into one song. It is set in Idaho, which I guess doesn’t always have much going on because they unanimously passed a Tater Tots bill praising director Jared Hess for making the film in his home state. To be honest, I don’t think there was much of a reason for the movie, it was just a bunch of scenes from Hess’ childhood, but that’s okay. I guess the one lesson learned is that not every movie needs to win an Oscar to be watchable.
It truly is one-of-a-kind, Nell with another Common Sense critique.
Tom Long thought much longer than I did, but the performances were quite memorable and quotable to this day.
One of Uncle Rico’s memorable scenes can be seen in today’s YouTube Rabbithole.
I had a feeling Roger Ebert wouldn’t like this movie. The man only appreciated classic cinema. You gotta respect his honesty.
