@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.
My Favorite Tweeter
Michael Block had an interview in-between his PGA Championship and last weekend at the Charles Schwab Challenge where he said he would be better than Rory if he could hit it as far, alluding that his short game is one of the best in the world. He then went to Fort Worth and finished dead last. That’s life, you’re riding high in April, shot down in May, and you can only change your tune in June. Unless of course, it’s Thursdays on Week to Week Notes, that stays as Name by the Goo Goo Dolls.
I concurred with this assessment, it’s probably because the Celtics crumbled when they were in the midst of history.
…Glad someone said…
Or they can totally run it back. I’d love to see the C’s pay Jaylen Brown a quarter of a billion dollars, paying that kind of money to a guy who can’t dribble - what could go wrong?
NY Yankees & Jets Talk

Jay Dee always wins.
LG should say he’d sign for $5k.
Haha, Good point!
(@YouTheReader I mean the Yanks could use an arm out of the pen.)

Thomas, I think you may see something special today.
I hope so.
NVM!
(@YouTheReader Fernando Tatis had just homered a split second in between this exchange lol)
I’ll take it!
Missed it what did we do?
IFK walk off!
I always liked that dude.
Me:
Fuck Boston.
(@YouTheReader whoops sorry Fuck Boston F*** Boston.)
That was nuts 😂
So annoying
I agree in general, but what happened
That counted?
Heat came back down 10, Celtics unsuccessfully challenged a foul call that actually gave Butler 3 free throws instead of 2. He hit them all, the Miami crowd was going nuts, and then ^^
It did. Either the Jets or Yankees need to win something soon. I am tired of hanging out with the F****lls for Boston sports wins
Can’t wait for Boone to show that when the Yanks are down 3-2 against Tampa.
It will be inspirational
I was minding my own business when you sent the text about a Boston team coming back again and it made me think about the Yankees losing so here you go
I’m disgusted
Nightmare fuel
Our only hope
I think the Celtics choke and the Heat win. We’ll see
Johnny Damon showing his Red Sox ring coming back from 3-0 = not cool.
No, but we’ll always have this ^
Still sorta think of him as a Sox first but the short porch was good to him
I was too young to remember him on the Sox. I think he’s an underrated Yankee
He was an A before Sox or Yank.
And now he just gets blacked out every day in Florida. Probably still a better option than who we currently have in left field
He’s seems good.
“I was driving perfectly”.
(@YouTheReader well, he is Sox.)

I really like Bader. We should keep him
Higgy is on fire.
We’re winning the Super Bowl, aren’t we?
Haha, remember they said he couldn’t handle NY?
He’s going to be so good this year. It’s gonna be ridiculous.
5/29 ‘23
Bader gets hurt too much
Was just gonna say. Really annoying dude. Btw good call Dad. Spoelstra is a great coach.
I like how the Heat play full court and zone, Jokic might pick it apart tho
Nuggets in 6
That’s my take too. Also, Judge is a freak
Just missed a 3rd before too, crazy
He has a .981 slugging % in Seattle. .981!!!
Good lord
(@YouTheReader slugging % is calculated (1B + 2Bx2 + 3Bx3 + HRx4)/AB), meaning if somebody got to 4 hits like a single, double, triple, and homerun in 5 at-bats, they would have a 2.000 slugging percentage. (1+2+3+4) / 5 = 2.00)
5/30 ‘23
22 mph sheesh
If he is who he thinks he is - wow - and we are averaging 30+ ppg.
I think he’s the real deal. The fact that Michael Carter might be RB4 on this team is absurd. Before him, they hadn’t drafted a skilled guy as good as him since Bilal or Kerley.
(Shoutout Bilal Powell)
The dude is on fire
It’s crazy. He should get a look at 3rd
(Cough, cough, @Yankees cough, cough)
Critiquing Critics - White Men Can’t Jump
Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson teaming up with a 90s classic about hustlers playing pickup basketball. Also, Rosie Perez is a nice female lead. Is some of this movie a bit over the top? Sure. That said, the underlying message is that sports can bring people together from all walks of life. On a basketball court, it doesn’t matter who you are, where you came from, or what you look like; it’s just about if you can play. White Men Can’t Jump also infused some comedy, such as “Yo Momma” jokes and some back & forth banter.
Some cool things I learned about the film - Charlie Sheen was originally going to be the White Guy who couldn’t jump. Wesley Snipes, although a good athlete, was actually pretty trash at basketball. Woody Harrelson could hoop and allegedly played “some college basketball” although I can’t find his stats at Hanover College so don’t quote me on this. That said, the title of the movie is spot on, Woody Harrelson could not dunk so they had to lower the rim from 10 feet to 9 & a half so that he could complete the alley-oop at the end.
I give Carrie credit for at least keeping it basketball themed, but her opinion is an airball here.
Matt Chapman waited 22 years to write a review about a movie from 1992. What else are you keeping from us, Matthew?
Woah, let me get this straight Mark R. Leeper’s grading scale goes from -4 to +4. Revolutionary.
Strong take Roger, nothing but net.
