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…
College Scout Insider
UConn going back to back book it 📚
Looks like it! Powerhouse, it’s wild because they got hot at the right time last year and have just run away since.
Yea, it’s crazy they lost three guys to the league and might be better this year. I hope the Cowboys don’t get Malachi Corely. This WR class is insane.
Hurley knows what he’s doing, probably the best coach in college now with all the guys retiring. Yup, Corley looks good, it’s going to be interesting how combine goes. This is a fun draft, a bunch of QBs and you’re right, tons of WRs. The Jets got a bunch of day 3 picks so I’m excited for that lol Giants picking at 6 could be huge, they could go in a lot of different ways and get stud
For sure he’s got them playing right. I agree with that in an elite QB class too the Giants need a lot of help I think they’ll go Alt. Do you think Marvin drops to 5? I think the Cards will take him.
Alt makes sense, the guy is durable which is half the battle with the O-line. Yeah agree Marvin's prob not falling past 5, would be fun with Murray. He and Brock Bowers are such sure things. If they stay healthy they’ll be 10-year pros at minimum.
True they both have Hall of Fame potential.
Cool Comments
2 years ago, a comment like this would’ve been crippling. A year ago, I would probably had a whole back-and-forth, telling him to kick rocks. Now it’s all good. It helps that one of the hoopers I tagged on the Story reposted it on his own Instagram. When I reached out to him to say thanks, he said any time, but there’s no way I’m going to badger a college kid during his basketball season. Go Sycamores!
Of course, comments do have consequences, so I decided to fire the head of the Week to Week Notes marketing team. As you all know, I hate firing people, the man has a wife and kids, but we can’t be confusing non-athlete college kids. Moving forward, I promise to have a more hands-on approach to marketing Mock Draft Mondays.
Uncle T: Your next challenge
Haha don’t give me any ideas 🤣 Where is that?
By trade center…Liberty
Nice I’ll check it out!
(@Uncle T & @YouTheReader I went to Burger King and they stopped serving alcohol after 4 PM. I’ll go back another time.)
NY Yankees & Jets Banter
Large italics are Yankees and Jets fan insiders.
The small font is me.
Missed Last Week
Possibly Kevin’s last organized basketball game. Drilled a pull-up 3. The southpaw is pitching and all his town’s baseball team does is win.

Seems like this guy is a mess?
When we do that, it’s a shame to the family. Travis gets revered. Unbelievable.
lol
(@YouTheReader I called @MaggieDavisHair to make sure she covered Shane’s eyes!)
Looks like he’s playing in the late ’70s.
Very goofy, but a good player tho.
She is awesome !!
Nonchalantly does from 30 feet out too
She is ridiculous
49 pts tonight

Yuck
Sad, I hope he’s awesome and we trade for him at the deadline.
Lol
(@YouTheReader that would be a classic Cashman full-circle moment.)

This is great and she almost did beat him. And Steph Curry is the best shooter ever.
Caitlin Clark needs to be in it next year
I’d like to see Caitlin vs Sabrina. I don’t care much about hockey, but outside hockey is awesome. And the NBA will figure that out one day. I know the weather is an issue, but that would be awesome.
That would be pretty cool if they tried an outdoor game for the in-season championship at a warm-weather spot.
Yup, and the original Space Jam was better than LeBron’s.
This All-Star Game sucks. So boring. I think tho - they should do H-O-R-S-E as part of the all-star weekend. These guys are so skilled, would be awesome to let them do crazy stuff and go against each other.
Haha yeah, this one feels like a real dud. Also stinks that most of the guys don’t do the Saturday competitions. Horse should definitely be a thing,

Stanton looks like a skinny dude next to Judge.
Wow good on Mike for trying something different during the offseason.
Yes - and hopefully it translates to something different in season !!! Would be huge.
This feels like a ploy by Boras to me, but if it’s true, I am for it. I think we should try to get him especially if it’s a shorter-term deal. I think Clarke would get bumped from the rotation which sucks bc I think he can still be good, but if they’re all in to win the World Series this year this guy would help that.
Yup
That makes sense, Yanks could say we’ll give you a little more $ with much fewer years (maybe early player opt-out) and you’ll have a chance to win now.
His only problem is that he doesn’t pitch deep enough into games cuz he walks guys. But he’s won 2 CY Youngs. Cole then him as a 1 and 2 in the playoffs would be legit

I agree with this. They are gonna be awesome this year.
(@YouTheReader that’s a pretty balanced lineup.)
2/21 ‘24
I want this dude to be good
Hopefully, he’ll be up by the summer. Would be big!
I haven’t watched a full SNL episode in a while but this Saturday’s is must must-watch.
He’s the man.
Chase has still got some things to work on! Although that’s a pretty good hitter.
That sounded nice off the bat. (Source: Trust Me Bruv)
Can’t wait for the “1.5 hours later” thing re: Chase !!
@Thomas does this weekend still week for Iron Horse? I think we’re around Saturday
Works for me 👍 I’ll ask in the family group
(@YouTheReader half zombied at lunch I text a group chat that includes 4 minors (2 of which are in junior high school) “Hey would a few pints of Guinness this Saturday at Iron Horse work for you all?” Feck! I’m no better than Travis, I should have thought about the children.)
What do we think?
I think it’s legit
Let’s go !!!
(@YouTheReader if it’s legit, more on Blake Snell on Saturday.)
Today’s Critiquing The Critics is the original Spider-Man. The one with Tobey Maguire because that’s the only trilogy I saw as a kid. Pretty sure we watched it at my grandparents with my cousins. The film was highly anticipated as it was the first big-screen adaptation of Spider-Man. It was the first movie to ever gross $100 million in its opening weekend alone. Maguire had never read a Spider-Man comic book but liked the role because of the script. Allegedly during the famous upside-down kiss, Tobey Maguire was having sinus issues because the rain kept filling up his nose… Yeah okay, buddy, we may not have been familiar with your game but he was just trying to make out with Kristen Dunst more. Anyway, I picked this Spider-Man because I made a Peter Parker reference earlier in the week.
I thought it was a good movie, let’s see what the critics had to say…
Philip Kerr should stick to politics, what a hack!
A+ critique by Carrie for getting in a spider reference.
Wow, I wish the lady who called me Peter Parker told me I had soulful eyes of wonder.
Agree with Nell here, for ages 7 and up, they’ll be fine.
Ebert had a point about some of the action scenes being a bit ridiculous. I re-watched the clip of Spidey saving MJ, hand up, the balcony scene had me fooled as a kid. The storyline was still good.
