Hoboken (Gossip) Girl | Yanks & Jets | My Favorite Tweeter | Critiquing Critics| PGA Championship ‘23 Story Lines
@YouTheReader we’ll skip the whole intro paragraph and get to the point. Whatever is on your mind, sports, music, movies, shows, life, etc. There are so many of you die-hard fans of all things who know what you're talking about, so this Thursday spot could only help. I love Thursday's spot because in a way it’s a reset of the week in Week to Week Notes.
@YouTheReader your default setting for His or Her Words, Not Mine is a team/sport/topic “fan insider.” All you have to do is send over a resume, cover letter, a form of ID, and 3 references. If you wish to come up with your own @Name, I’ll run with that so that other @YouTheReaders could also start to get to know your style. Either way, I won’t tell no one your name. Unless you want your name on Week to Week Notes.
Hoboken (Gossip) Girl
This was an anonymous tip I received from someone that none of you reading this know…
Pretty cool! Blake Lively was filming “It Ends With Us” where Hoboken has been transformed into Boston in winter. This makes sense because why would anybody want to film in the dump of a city up north? Much respect goes out to the anonymous tipper for keeping his cool in the storm of white girls. On the other hand, I had to get in on the action…
Of course, I asked her how Taylor Swift was doing and Blake pulled up this Tweet…
The boys are down badly. Please don’t text or call…but keep me in your thoughts.
Anyway, Attention to All Swifties…
…check out Chelsea Bell before the Taylor Swift Concert next weekend!
NY Yankees & Jets Talk

I’m already nervous
Me too
I’m nervous tho cause there is no excuse for us now. Super Bowl may be a crap shoot, but we should be a very good team expected to win and or at least compete every week. And I feel like if this doesn’t work how would we ever expect to have a good team?
True, I’ll be really nervous the closer we get to the season but hopefully, the raising of expectations changes the culture around the team. They’ve had such a low standard for the past decade, it can’t help with culture and now all the young guys are immediately getting the experience.
I think the fact that we actually did play in big games last year helps too
Can you imagine how the young guys, who played well last year and are used to winning, reacted when they heard Aaron Rodgers was coming?
It must be weird for other teams’ fan bases to see the Jets on their schedule and not think automatic win lol (@JetsHaters of which there are now many.)
We got the Anthony Volpe bet - now let’s do the Jets’ final record. 13-4.
12-5
I’ll go 11-6 I guess. Maybe a slow start and then finish very strong.
(@YouTheReader Anthony Volpe Steal Tracker: 13 Steals. Current Pace 47 Steals.)

The Yankees are cursed. Time to fire Boone and switch up the vibes.
Rizzo just saved Boone’s job
Humongous
We turned on Titanic. Boone’s job still goes on - and - on !!
(@YouTheReader don’t worry I got the Volume II & III of Stumblin’ Along at the Titanic Exhibit in my Back Pocket.)

We have cool players.
Pretty cool that as a rookie he was able to recruit guys here. Older players must know he’s the real deal
What a win!
Yanks are gonna go on a big roll. Watch.

6 Steve Klein votes 🗳️ at G&Gs
It’s telling me I have to sign in? Idk why
Harrison Bader is insane in CF.
Helluva catch
Clarke Schmidt - same stuff.
Why are we putting Albert Abreu in the most important moment of the game?
(@YouTheReader Yanks lost.)

Aaron Judge = good at baseball
Nice catch by Volpe too
Yup
Volpe = good too
Hicks = not so much.
Judge - oh my God !!
462 ft!!
That ball was demolished
He actually looked angry when he hit it.
We’re really about to blow this game
Nah - we got this
(@YouTheReader Yanks won!)

The NBA is the worst
It’s so boring
Someone always has a problem
I would rather coach 15 3rd graders that can’t play basketball than these primadonnas.
Oh wait, I did.
Harden moving to 2 different cities in a year and a half to avoid Kyrie is kind of funny, but totally agreed.
Most of the blockbuster trades seem to just be made at a whim so they don’t mean as much as in other sports.
I love Sevy, and I know he’s worried about his next contract which he should be. But he really hasn’t pitched a heck of a lot since he signed his last one and so maybe he should just focus on getting healthy and finishing strong.
Yeah hopefully he can stay healthy, kind of nuts that he’s 29 but you can’t blame them if they have no real interest in re-signing him at this point.
He’s really lost the benefit of the doubt for deciding when he wants to rehab starts or whatever. He’s always hurt
Blaming them for wanting to make sure he’s ready is a bad look. He hasn’t earned his $ so he should go wherever they ask him to go - and do so quietly.
I hope they resign him and he stays healthy and has a great Yankee career. But if it’s time for him to move on because he feels of another organization will treat him better then maybe that’s what he should do.
Unfortunately, I don’t think they can get much for him in a trade, only the Yankees trade for injured pitchers.
The blue jays are clowns
All of them. There will be a fight this year for sure.
I feel terrible for Ian Hamilton
Better than an elbow. Hopefully, he’s ok
JUDGE!!!!!!!!!
F’ Toronto
Unreal
Yikes
Let’s go
What a roller coaster ride
Nice win
Domingo is a clown. We need better.
Shame Vladdy is hurt. Probably cause he’s fat.
I really just can’t get over how lame the whole blue jays team is
I can’t believe Don Mattingly is involved with that franchise. Embarrassing
I don’t like the manager.
I’m looking fwd to them ending up in 4th place.
Mattingly thing hurts
They should call up this dude. No sticky stuff in his hands.
Curveball?
Definitely
He threw 5 straight fastballs to this kid - he had no chance.
(@YouTheReader he has also made Twitter a few more times. Awesome!)
My Favorite Tweeter
Randle was subpar against the Miami Heat. I agree with My Favorite Tweeter’s assessment here, he is not a #2 on a championship contender.
It would be a real shame if Joel saw this and in a fit of rage responded to it. Great work!
Notice the :/ instead of even bothering to use an emoji. This level of disrespect is off the charts.
Polar Bear Moment.
Critiquing Critics - Hardball
Hardball stars Diane Lane, Keanu Reeves, a young Michael B. Jordan, and Diane Lane. It is about a gambling addict and ticket scalper living an aimless life who reluctantly agrees to coach a Little League team from the Chicago projects as part of a loan agreement.
I kind of agree with Eleanor on this premise. Would Hardball be something I recommend someone go watch immediately? No, but I’m sorry whenever I hear “Big Poppa” by Biggie, my mind goes straight to Michael B. Jordan’s squad.
Is Robert Koehler a time traveler? Sammy Sosa, who is featured in the film when Reeves takes the players to a Cubbies game, got caught corking his bat in ‘03.
Hardball the movie is actually based on the Chicago Little League Coach Bob Muzikowski and is only inspired by the Daniel Coyle book about Muzikowski, “Hardball: A Season in the Projects.” Muzikowski actually tried to block this “based on a true story” from being made because of claims that the movie portrays the African-American youths in the film as foul-mouthed delinquents and racist caricatures when they were actually well-behaved and decent.

I can get on board with Harry on this. Reeves was subpar, but the kids and Diane Lane were brilliant!
