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. You all have no idea how helpful you all are with this on Thursday’s pieces and just in general, it’s greatly appreciated!
The vocal sample to this tune comes from Etta James’ “Something’s Got a Hold on Me”, originally sung in 1962.
Moving on…
Oh yeah, with His or Her Words, Not Mine….
Large Font italics are readers like you.
The small font is me.
Guinness Dynasty Show
Arthur Guinness! Great picture and have a Happy Saint Patrick’s Day!! ☘️❤️
The writers and directors of Succession are making a TV program about the family of Guinness. It will be out in two years. Arthur Guinness was not the inventor of Guinness it was his father Richard Guinness. He had 10 kids. Very interesting stuff x
Wow, that sounds very fascinating. I’ll be on the lookout for it and will be watching. Thanks for the heads up, cheers!!
@YouTheReader: A Succession/ Peaky Blinders/ Guinness show, this is incredibly up my alley. Also, I saw that the Peaky Blinders movie is set to come out in November this year. What a fookin’ excellent birthday present!
Cool Comments
A PSCHS Class of ‘27 high school freshman shoved me into an internet locker this week. I didn’t know how to respond after the first onslaught. Then, when he put my head in the toilet, I offered him a job…Hey, I’m just out here trying to build resumes for the kids!
College Scout Insider
What’s up, bro? What’s your bracket looking like?
I’m gonna fill one out tonight. I’m still in shock the Big East only got 3 teams in 😂. Indiana St snubbed the selectors we’re sleeping with year. Who you taking?
I’m going with UConn running it back. The random team I now like is Drake University who beat Indiana State. They have a crafty college forward Tucker DeVries who averages 20 a game who I just found out about last week lol
Good call I think they’re the best team but they have a tough bracket. Iowa St is for real.
I just played around a bit and threw in some upsets. Next Monday once Sweet 16 is set, I’m thinking of doing an updated bracket picks too with who’s left, we’ll see if we can hit on those because the first 2 rounds are always chaos.
Yea true that’s a good idea I think there’s gonna be a bunch the comp is pretty balanced this year. Those Kentucky kids could make a run. Justin Edwards is being slept on for them. He is a mismatch nightmare and can really shoot it.
Was thinking the same way about Kentucky. They are the type of team that’ll get knocked out in opening weekend or get into a groove, talent is there.

This is accurate
Agreed, charge us fans $19.50 for the chicken finger buckets instead of $17, we want Snell or Monty.
God help us
We made a deal with the devil and are paying the price
It would be nice if he went on another darkness retreat and decided he wants to QB the Jets again.
Jets are winning the division next year. This is all the noise that will be gone by September.
My friend just sent this and said “That’s the equivalent of me telling Sydney Sweeney I’m available to date”
He probably has as good of a shot with Sydney Sweeney as anybody wanting to trade for Allen Lazard. 😂😂😂
Ok! Not out of the woods yet but I guess this was the best we could hope for
Yup
Phew!! I feel like Cole is almost like a scientist so he could probably tell way before most guys the minute something was off
I hope so. I just know that I have heard way too much about Dr. Neal ElAttrache lately. I have had enough of him.
Also, I think the Jets should have done this. This guy is really good even though he’s a little old.

If that is why Davis “retired” - what a mess
That would make a ton of sense. Wouldn’t be surprised if he wanted to go elsewhere now, probably didn’t want to get cut being better player last year
LETS GOOOOOOO
Whoa !!!!
The O-line is settled, wow!! (@YouTheReader Tyron Smith when healthy is a top 5 blindside tackle in football. This is a massive get. His contract is incentivized by playing time.)
Who are we drafting ?!?
Just doing a numbers game at 10, they are guaranteed one of the top 3 WRs, Bowers, an OT, or a QB, even if no defensive players are picked ahead of them. Who knows how it’ll change by draft? I’m not sure if McCarthy is 10-worthy but they aren’t in a bad spot.
Gotta go receiver now. Although don’t disagree with the idea of Thomas, just don’t love McCarthy.
Yeah, I’m not sure if McCarthy will ever be elite but feels like at least a starting QB. One of WRs or Bowers would be huge. If those 4 aren’t there maybe they can trade down in 1st to a team that wants QB that’s falling and grab Troy Franklin, Xavier Worthy, or Keon Coleman in the 20s. Good WR class.
They have a window with Rogers so will take whoever helps the most right away.
Seems better than what we had.
This good?
Yes, very much so.
This is so true btw
For sure. They suck. Jets are gonna be awesome. They can do lots of things now. Maybe trade back - still get a wide receiver and get 2nd round pick. I’d like them to sign a wide receiver and get Bowers. This Tyron Smith is awesome. I watched some YouTube highlights. The guy didn’t give up 1 sack !!!!

Let’s go!
Nice win, the lads will be celebrating!!
Let’s go!!!!

Not bad? Cheers - Happy St. Patrick’s Day !!
Let’s gooo
Count it! ✅ Happy Saint Patrick’s Day. (Also looks like a good pour)
Late start but it's happening now
Haha… Count it! ✅ Never too late

@YouTheReader The Pogues don’t miss.

Translation: DJ now only has 1 foot.
😂😂😂 By the end of the week we’ll find out he’ll never walk again
This is so awesome !!
Good to see him back in Pinstripes.
Eh. Feel like we should have just done this
There was literally no downside - just money. Although with luxury tax same would have cost the Yanks $96 million for 2 years. Yikes.
I guess that’s the downside from Hal’s perspective. Lol
He’s awesome (but he traveled).
Wow, he’s unbelievable, but yes he traveled.
3/19 ‘24
Yes!!!
Hope he can stay healthy, he’s a stud when on the field.
Let’s go !!!!!
1 year prove it deal too, wow
(@YouTheReader Mike Williams is the former 7th Overall Pick of the ‘17 NFL Draft. In his 7 seasons in the NFL, Williams has missed around 30% of games. Last year, Williams only played in 3 games, but when he is on the field he is a nightmare matchup at 6’4” and 218 lbs. Mike Williams will be the best Jets #2 WR since Eric Decker, but I see his role more like what Braylon Edward’s was for the Rex Ryan years. Big play threat who can win 1-on-1s.)

I think the Ohatani thing is bad - but it will be hidden because MLB needs him to be great and a good guy.
Seems very very shady
Yup seems really bad
@YouTheReader thank goodness the Yankees don’t have this mess in the locker room.
Today’s Critiquing the Critics is Slumdog Millionaire because of Drake’s verse in Right Above It. It was this or the Fight Club reference from defending Matt Lempe on Friday and I chose pacifism. Very big of me. The synopsis for this film would be crazy as a lot of stuff happens in 2 hours with a ton of going back in time and jumping to the present day. It’s a movie that will make you feel grateful for what you got and an awesome underdog story. Slumdog Millionaire would be nominated for 10 Oscars, none of which were for acting, becoming the 11th movie to win Best Picture without an actor receiving recognition. British actor and main character of the movie (Jamal), Dev Patel, would later receive recognition from the Academy for his supporting role in Lion. (Source: Mental Floss)
Surely it can’t have too many critics…
Harry Kloman sucks.
Jaime J. Weinman hates underdogs and also sucks.
Well put by Brian Eggert. The film finds beauty in tragedy and moves at an intoxicating pace.
Bonus points for Debbie for including the ABCD options. Well done, Deb!
