Name XXXIV | Fantasy Football Freeform | Ryder Cup ‘23 Preview | NY Yankees & Jets Banter | Critiquing The Critics: Daddy Day Care | YouTube Rabbithole
Alright @YouTheReader,
This is the 34th Edition of “Name” by the Goo Goo Dolls. Talk about committing to the bit. Nah, it’s more than that, not only is this a great tune but the lyrics fit what I mean by “His or Her Words, Not Mine.”
At the end of the day, or I guess we’re in the middle of the Week, I’m just a fan of sports with some other interests like I’d assume many of you are that are reading this. If you ever have your own take on sports, music, history, Guinness, or life, whether I’ve known you since Tee-Ball or just met you this week while drinking a pint, you can always fire away. “Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask and he will tell you the truth.” I came up with that. Nah, that would be Oscar Wilde. Obviously, if you send me some unhinged shrimp that I wouldn’t even write on Week to Week Notes I’m not going to include you here, but for all the adults who read this, I value your opinion. Either way, I won’t tell no one your name unless you want your name on Week to Week Notes.
Fantasy Football Freeform
Cheeseheads 2.0: What happened to this league? We don’t even get Dave’s Tom’s weekly commentary anymore? This thing has been loading for 3 weeks now. SAD!
Honestly don’t have time for it, one of you guys could do it, ain’t rocket science.
^@YouTheReader This was my response in the League Group Chat. What I really meant to say was okay, but I’m not posting content on an ESPN League Board when I run a Week to Week Notes website. Aww the boys feel neglected, sad! Alright, let’s make this quick…
Week 4, 23 (League 10965)
1. Seasul Watermelonskin: I have no idea what this team name even means. This must’ve been created when half of you were giggling in the corner on some inside jokes that nobody reading this is going to understand. (Only kidding hehe.)
2. Henny Kenny and the Fellas: This League Governor has now drafted Kenny Pickett in two consecutive drafts. If he were to grow out his hair on top and grow whatever the hell facial hair that Pickett and Morgan Wallen have, I think they could be triplets. Just saying.
3. Steve’s Swamp: On a roll. His team will fall off by Week 7 when he gets an injury and forgets to check.
4. The Martian: The only League Governor to ever win back-to-back titles. His team name during that run was Gary Sanchez. It’s too bad this he hasn’t had a successful season since Gary Sanchez last hit over .234 and that The Martian had to get Tommy John.
5. Prayers for Chubb and Mike W: Look at that, another year where this crook is trying to take down my reign as League Commish. Relax, I’ll pick a successor in due time.
6. Lynch’s Legends: You should have seen the amount of digits this man got at Lynch’s in Jacksonville the night of our Draft, from women he will likely never see again. Legendary performance.
7. Max Jax: Recently changed his team name to something NSFW involving the Jaguars. Disgusting behavior.
8. Cheeseheads 2.0: Let the record show that this is actually the 3rd time he has named his team the Cheeseheads. Let me tell you something, now here’s a guy who likes his cheese.
9. Team Dougherty: I told you to fire your analytics department after last season. Stop listening to Matthew Berry!
10. TD Bank: My fantasy football players held a players-only Zoom Call meeting just to touch base. Special thanks to Aaron Rodgers, who has won rings for TD Bank in the past, for taking the time out of his busy rehab schedule to organize the call. He told the fellas that what has been going on the past 3 weeks is just not acceptable for the standard we at TD Bank uphold. None of this is fabricated in any way.
Ryder Cup ‘23 Preview
The Ryder Cup, originally a golf contest between the United States and Great Britain, now features USA vs. Europe. The first Ryder Cup took place in Worcester, Mass (they pronounce it Woo-Sta up there, wicked) in 1927. It is a biennial men’s golf event so this will be the 44th edition. The United States currently holds the series lead up 27 wins to just 14 losses and 2 ties. This year’s Ryder Cup will be held at Marco Simone Golf & Country Club in Rome, Italy.
Ryder Cup Explained
This event is popular not only for its history but also because of the atmosphere with the crowds and the team style of play. The crowds for the Ryder Cup get into it as if it were any other sport, except for when a player is in his backswing of course. The team style play is 4-Ball, Foursomes, and then they do singles.
4-Ball: each member of a two-man team plays his own ball, so four balls are in play on every hole. Each team counts the lowest of its two scores on each hole, and the team whose player has the lowest score wins the hole. If the low scores are tied, the hole is halved.
Foursomes: each two-man team plays one ball per hole with the players taking turns until each hole is complete. Players alternate hitting tee shots, with one leading off on odd-numbered holes, and the other hitting first on even-numbered holes. The team with the lowest score on each hole wins that hole. If their scores are tied, the hole is halved.
Singles: each match features one player from each team. The player with the lower score on each hole wins that hole. If their scores are tied, the hole is halved.
Team USA
Their roster includes the likes of JT Thomas, Patrick “Hurry The F Up” Cantlay, Rickie Fowler, Brooks Koepka, Scottie “Doesn’t Know” Scheffler, and Jordan Spieth.
Team Europe
Their roster includes the likes of Rory McIlroy, Shane Lowry, Jon Rahm, Justin Rose, Tommy Fleetwood “Mac”, and Viktor Hovland.
Due to the fact that this event is being played in Italy, they will be playing these matches in the wee hours of the morning. Week to Week Notes will sadly not be covering the event. Go USA!

I’m looking fwd to Sunday’s game, but imagine if either a) Rogers didn’t get hurt and we beat the Cowboys or b) Zach played lights out last week and we beat the Cowboys. Expectations would have been higher than I think Jets fans would ever have had. Now who knows what we are walking into?
It could have been so awesome. If we lose this game it will be very painful.
If Zach is 3 and out first two drives the stadium will turn against him quickly. Maybe after the first drive.
10 years ago - that’s insane !!!
Watched the video of Jeter and Pettitte taking him out of the game earlier. It’s so awesome. The best part is when you see JR Murphy’s (the catcher’s) face just in absolute awe of the whole thing.
Yes - was awesome. That may have been the last time he was ever seen.
I think so.
(@YouTheReader JR Murphy was abducted by aliens and never seen again. Sad story, really.)
Not quite the same as Aaron Rodgers’ situation, but the season ended when Judge went down. He is unbelievable and we deserved another full season of him this year.
Yup. And he just did it again!
WTF !!!

Big win
Are they in the final now?
Still in the group stage. They play Scotland next Saturday but they’re guaranteed to move on and South Africa is ranked #2 in the world.
With Judge/Rodgers, they’re both awful. As bad as this is, at least with Wilson we get to see if we need another young QB hopeful. He’s either the guy of the future against Patrick Mahomes on Sunday Night Football or the Jets are signing Tommy DeVito.
Bosco Legend!
I’m at the point where I’ve started looking at mock drafts for the jets. Not saying I’m giving up… but there are 4-5 1st round QBs this year. Right now Quinn Ewers is being mocked in the early 20s… he was #1 QB recruit a few years ago and just beat Alabama in Alabama… imagine him learning behind Rodgers for a year?
Yeah, they have to go QB next year regardless of where they end up. I mean unless it’s Marvin Harrison Jr. (@YouTheReader: That was the Guinness pints talking, they need a QB.)
They need a lineman badly too. Also, why have they not signed a real backup? If Zach Wilson rolls an ankle tomorrow we have a guy who has no business being an NFL quarterback as our only option.
Don’t want to create controversy this early in.
They gotta get Colt McCoy or something. Tim Boyle is not capable.
Even him tho, minute Wilson makes a mistake there would be chants of McCoy. It’s on Wilson but in a good way. (@YouTheReader boy was I wrong.)
I guess that’s true
If Wilson is bad they will have to start pivoting to other options after KC. They’re all in on Zach now.
