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….

My Mudder Dearest
*Text Message GIF from my mom at 7:58 AM on Tuesday*
NO WIRE HANGERS!!!
Is that Joan Crawford?
Mommy Dearest was written by Joan Crawford’s daughter supposedly about her.
Yikes!! I really wasn’t even trying to be controversial with that one.
Did you ever hear me say “No wire hangers?”
Yes, plenty of times but never knew what it meant lol
Week to Week Notes Public Statement
After doing extensive research on Joan Crawford, Week to Week Notes would like to redact Miss Crawford from having any association with this past Tuesday’s This Girl. I wrongfully assumed that since she was dancing in black-and-white in The Three Stooges she was a lovely lady in her day. It turns out she may not have been so nice to her daughter. Hand up, very naive and wrong of me to automatically assume that every lady you see in the black-and-white pictures is a lovely lady. In fairness, I like to give elderly women the benefit of the doubt when I’m not helping them cross the street. Thus, due to this technicality, we will take away Joan Crawford’s Doll of Her Day status and give this week’s Doll of Her Day to Nita Bieber.
Miss Bieber was also a dancer in The Three Stooges’ Rhythm & Weep (1946) and appeared in several other films as well as being on the cover of Life Magazine on November 28, 1949. By all accounts, she was a lovely lady.
NFL Draft Reaction
Post Draft
Kennedy (Pats fan): Is Week to Week dropping draft grades?
lol Monday… What do you think of Pats or Giants draft?
I honestly don’t know anyone besides Nabers and Theo Johnson. I like Johnson. Pats draft very disappointed with not coming away with Leggette or Brian Thomas. Pats picks I liked:
- Obv Maye
- Caeden Wallace: played opposite of the Jets LT pick at Penn State
- Javon Baker: LOVE
- Joe Milton has a rocket arm.
- Don’t love it but don’t hate it: Ja’Lynn Polk… He compares to Robert Woods / TJ Houshmandzadeh
Overall I’m kinda deflated. I thought we would walk out with Maye and Leggette.
*Sent 2 write-ups on other Pats picks Jaheim Bell and Laydon Robinson*
Bell was in August. He was decent this year at FSU. More likely a bust than not but has a talent/skillset that is at least interesting. Robinson does a lot of community service, seems like good guy.
Did you rank the top 200?!
Got to about 180 players. Starting ‘25s Draft on Monday with 5 players. Will have a spreadsheet board online this year. Going to add 5 new players every Monday and will try to update it.
Holy shit. Dedication
…
Post Round 1
Duff: Bo knows 😎 Penix was a shocker and the Giants better take Joe Milton or Pratt later on we need some qb comp 😂
Good call on Bo to Denver! Haha yeah, Penix was definitely the shocker. I wanted Bowers so hoping the Jets can land Pratt at least 😂 Interesting draft, defense really was slept on.
Post Draft
Yea for sure I’m hyped for Nabers though I didn’t think he’d be there. Jordan Travis and Isaiah Davis are good backup development pieces for the Jets. Jordan is the brother of Devon the 2015 fantasy baseball legend. Giants’ Tracy was getting a lot of hype pre-draft I think he should be good too.
Glad Jets landed Travis, he can pretty much just stashed on IR so could get free redshirt year without taking up a roster spot. Also didn’t know he was brothers with Devon Travis, the 2B hit .304 in ‘15 and .300 in ‘16. What you think of G-Men draft?
I think the Giants had a great draft. They filled some positional needs. Nabers should be a perennial pro bowler. Nubin looks like an elite ballhawk, I’m not sure about Phillips but he should be as good as Adoree while costing a lot less. Theo Johnson was a great pick I think he could end up being the best TE in this class (besides Bowers but don’t love his landing spot) Tracy was a receiver turned rb so he should be useful in the passing game and Muasau seems like a high iq hustle lb who the coaching staff is raving about already so I think overall they should help the Giants get back to the playoffs.
I really like Nabers and Nubin, other guys I didn’t have much on my radar but that doesn’t matter much 😂 Johnson looks the part, big body, and can both block or catch. One thing I wish they did was add more picks if they had a chance to do so in Round 3 or Day 3. Honestly tho even if Nabers is a star, Nubin is good, and even if the rest of the guys are depth than that’s a great class.
Yea that would’ve been nice the jets did a good job trading back and getting more picks. They got my guy Malachi he should be a terror in the slot
I liked the Allen pick, but I too was a Michael Pratt guy. Jordan Travis nice consolation. Was okay with Olu in 1st after they got Corley, would’ve been worried if they took a d-lineman or something not needed like they usually do lol
Yea, Allen and Davis are really good backups and should form a powerful running game along with Hall and Izzy. I think Travis was a great pick I’d say he has a higher upside than Pratt.
Yea I think he’ll save it for his album these ai tracks have been stealing some bars 😂 they’ve gotten too good it’s crazy I don’t think Drake should’ve done that with the Pac and Snoop verse. All Kendrick has to do now is get a real snoop verse and it’s over 😂
Not sure Snoop wants to get in the middle of it. Hate AI too, thought the tactic was clever tho. Maybe Kendrick could be waiting for the whole situation with other rappers to die down so it’s more 1 v 1?
Idk I think he’d side with Kendrick on this one I wouldn’t like a fake verse putting words in my mouth 😂drake already pulled it because the 2pacs family threatened to sue but yea it should make for some interesting music
4/30 ‘24
Drake is back on the clock 😂
Lol yeah he barked up the wrong tree 😂 Kendrick’s not playing around.
…
McDonagh (biggest Eminem fan I know): Kendrick dropped.
OVO TD: Reps up. Rap is back. Drake got a week.
Drake you on the clock. The saying Crody and not Brody. After Drake said bity.
Please explain. What does this mean? What does it mean to LeBron’s legacy?
I think it has something to do with affiliations…Idk
Tuesday's timing is odd, but makes sense for Kendrick.
I think Kendrick dissed j Cole too for apologizing hahah
For sure, Cole kinda can’t do much but sit back haha This response to euphoria is going to be interesting. The angle and timing. If he has “a red button” idk if you want to go there just yet. Feels like both are just sparring until one goes there.
Yeah idk what he will respond with this Kendrick diss has a ton of layers as we would expect lol I’m still trying to understand everything but he definitely cooked. 3 beat switches, he came with 3 switches like he said
They both just straight-up hate each other. 😭
Kendrick absolutely cooked him so far 😭 This gets worse everytime I listen. Drake just can’t compete with these bars they are insane.
OVO will remain vigilant! Get Drake on a location & time track ASAP and it needs to be a hit. We need 40 in the studio on OT OT.
Kendrick even through in a “Rememba” like from worst behavior before he addressed the contract stuff. Every detail is so good. “I didn’t even bleed him yet, can I bleed him?, bet”, straight into an onslaught.
5/1 ‘24
Extortion my middle name as soon as you jump off of that plane b****! Goes so hard hahaha
Every line is layered. Every single one. This response is going to be interesting. Does Drake go the route of a Diplomatic Immunity type of beat or try to make a hit record that may be more memorable? (Not saying people won’t remember euphoria.)
I love the beats on Euphoria, the last one is fire. Drake got 48 hours, you on the clock Aubrey!
Idk if you’re Drake if you want to release on the weekend or midweek. Saturday afternoons like Pushups or a weeknight when more people are online… Kendrick was smart for releasing it on Tuesday morning, it became a big Twitter topic for the week.
Kendrick was going up, on a Tuesday
(@YouTheReader I’ll never claim to be a hip-hop expert, but as someone who grew up on Eminem, Jay-Z, and 50 Cent, so this is pretty cool to cover a bit about. I remember being in college and having many nights debating with friends about a Drake vs Kendrick rap battle. Now that it’s finally here, it’s pretty cool to have Week to Week Notes because this could be a big moment in the future of hip-hop.)
NY Yankees & Jets Banter
4/25 ‘24
Judge about to get hot. Better AB’s yesterday, HR tonight the other way. It’s coming.
He looked better. Time for me to watch Rome Odunze's highlights and try to will him to the Jets tomorrow
Is that our guy?
I think he’s my favorite. He fits perfectly with GW
Ok - let’s will it into existence
I just hope 1 of the 4 big pass catchers is there or they trade up. Nabers is better at yac, but Drew is right has a similar skill set to Wilson. Odunze is taller and could be better fit vertically downfield
Jets are gonna be awesome next year either way
I’ve moved to Brock Bowers highlights. He is very good lol
I’ve seen the highlight. Never drops a pass. Lots of touchdowns - I’m in. That’s our guy.
To Thomas’s point, I am happy if we get any of the 4 best pass catchers. And honestly will be bummed in the moment but if we get a stud lineman, that’s probably not the worst idea either.
Fearless leader? I like him tho but come on (I know Drew hates him).
He’s too nice!
Casey said the same thing when Babe and Lou went back to back and belly to belly.
So lame. Btw, I didn’t notice this until tonight but heard it on the broadcast, Yankee stadium is playing John Sterling “theee Yankees win” after the game before New York New York. It’s awesome and they should always keep that
For 100 years+. They should have been doing it already. We need cooler owners and leadership. This stuff isn’t hard.
This is awesome - and when they told us “swing down or swing level” we now know they had no idea what they were talking about. Even the good hitters didn’t know what they were doing
Gross
All brutal.
I don’t know if there are some union rules, but kind of shocking that this isn’t already in place.
Umps Union weirdly must have a lot of power lol
Draft night
Cheers!!
Love it. Also, I am very afraid of Drake Maye on the Patriots
Nah pats are done for a while.
Jets trading down with Vikings
I’m still out - what is going on !
The Falcons took Penix (lefty from Washington) even with Kirk at QB1.
Classic Douglas getting cute. Alright so I guess good trade cuz Vikings def taking McCarthy…The pick is in… Boring!
Yup
But probably smart. Or, knowing the Jets, he’ll suck
What did we do ?
Drafted a 1st rounder that we hope won’t see the field
O line
He’s good, didn’t think he’d be there. Hope they overload or trade up for another offensive playmaker or 2
What comes next ?
Mid wide receiver in the 3rd round probably. I get why they did it, but they should’ve just taken Bowers.
I agree, might still be able to trade up into 2nd if someone falls, have multiple 4s and early 3rd.
I think they gotta try to do that
I get the idea of trying to build something sustainable, and I’m sure both guys could end up being really good players, but it’s very frustrating that in a “win now” window where we traded for a 40 yr old QB, we’ve drafted 2 players in the first round in a row that won’t play that much in a best case scenario
Exactly, with Bowers he’d immediately have a role and cause mismatches
I don’t hate the pick but 2 years in a row I’m just kinda like ugh
The Sauce/Wilson/JJ/Breece draft spoiled us lol
Saleh looks like he just watched someone get hit by a car
AVT was on some live stream and wasn’t too hyped either
How did we fuck this up? I’m still out - what is going on here?
JD took safe pick instead of fun one
Problem for JD and Saleh is that this was probably the right pick for the long term, but they might not be around to reap the benefits
I assume they know they are safe (tho I still don’t know what we did). We are gonna be awesome this year either way.
Funny… Also I love the pick. We are building a line that will last beyond AR. And I think we’ll get some weapons for him tmrw.
4/26 ‘24
Give credit to JD - he tried to trade up but didn’t go overboard and wound up with someone who may help this year but likely is our future LT. JD must feel his job is secure.
lol - also, why are the Yankees taking the fun out of the season? Splitting with the crappy A’s?
Their offense is anemic again. It’s so strange.
Awful
Also, the A’s closer throws like 700mph. We should trade for that dude
Roman Wilson - that’s who I want them to get.
Is he the dirtiest player in the league? How was he not thrown out for that?
I think Draymond still holds the crown for that but wow, Embiid might be on his way. Roman Wilson would be a good pick in the 3rd, would be nice 2nd/3rd alongside Wilson
Ryan just said no to Roman - said he’s a diva.
Well, in that case, I’m redacting that previous statement, and taking Wilson off the draft board
Goodyknows his stuff
He does and this is without EA Sports’ NCAA 25, it was always better than Madden. #GoodyKnowsBall
Wow
Wow, I’m wrong! Embiid really does play the dirtiest.
This seems extreme tho
lol. NBA should be embarrassed tho. That was a mockery.
Hope they ease him back and he hits his way into the middle of the lineup by mid-summer.
Agreed. Let him get some ABs and be ready to go… Also… WRs first 2 picks of the 2nd Round… Joe D needs to make his move
(@YouTheReader Joe D did it with Malachi Corley)
4/28 ‘24
What if this is true ?
Something about his throwing motion or release always seemed to throw me off but it got job done in college, he was excellent the last 2 seasons. Worth the gamble for sure.
I think he is in a great situation to learn. Not only from Rodgers but maybe more importantly from Tyrod Taylor. Feel like they could have kinda similar games. Probably doesn’t end up being more than a backup if we’re being realistic, but who knows?
Still at frozen ropes for Ry’s tourney. First game was 10:00 am. Second game supposed to start at 4:00 - but there is a championship game before that is still going on (Kevin is in the chip). If we win - chip would be at 6:00 (tho probably closer to 7). Thanks for keeping me up until 2:30 last night…Drew
Pretty sure they sell beers at that concession stand bro. Hair of the dog that bit ya!
Great point with Tyrod, they actually have a real vet qb room for a change. Even if he can end up anything like Tyrod that would be a win. That’s a long day for 2:30, best of luck to Ryan & Kevin 🏆
Kevin statline: 5 2/3rds, 1 run in the playoff game. They went on to win the chip in the next game.
🥇
Awesome. Someday manager of the NYY
Jorge was great. Switch-hitter .270+, 20+ homers for a decade + behind the plate. Also didn’t realize he came in 3rd in AL MVP in ‘03.
4/29 ‘24
Orioles getting EVERY bounce in this game.
Offense stinks tonight, but true.
4/30 ‘24
This is awful
Brutal, hasn’t played 120+ games since ‘19
Sad stuff
Knick game is fun - Embiid crappy his pants again late is cool.
Oh my
Bad loss. They’ll figure it out tho.
Terrible
I’m talking about the Knicks. Yanks stink.
I know. Not a good night for either. Knicks had this series.
They still do. Embiid gonna break down.
5/1 ‘24
Meredith just did an interview with him and it was great. Miss this guy
Singleton was great. “…and this one is gone.”
“Looook out!”
Big time save by Holmes, elite when he’s on like that.
He looked disgusting
Today’s Critiquing the Critics comes from the Like Mike reference from this past Saturday. We had this movie on DVD so I probably rewatched it a gazillion times. At the time I thought Bow Wow was destined to be the next Leo or Will Smith… would’ve also said his rhymes were otherworldly. This was a fun basketball movie for the kids. The real-player NBA cameos of Kidd, AI, Dirk, C-Webb, and Nash were also very cool.
I had no idea that Ox in Like Mike would go on to be a rival of Walter White. Guess he went down the wrong path, he was a bully in the movie. The kid’s hoops film about a kid Michael Jordan worn sneakers that would elevate his game into the NBA had a budget of $30 million and doubled at the box office making $60 million. Lil Bow Wow’s hit song Basketball, whichfeatured Fabolous (the rapper from B.O.M.B.S. this past Saturday)would also do well, peaking at #25 on US Billboard Hot Rap Singles… Not bad for a 15 year old!
Dang Christy, what you think of Little Orpan Annie?
Well as a kid then, who now covers the NBA and wears Nike, I guess it was effective!
Nell just giving us straight common sense facts, a family friendly classic indeed.
I concur with Jack Garner, 8 year olds will enjoy it.
Agreed, sometimes kids just need a bit of confidence. Well said by Roger!
