Win of the Week:

Dave Filoni becomes Chief Creative Officer at Lucasfilm

Huge win for the light side this week. Filoni might be the only man able to save this sinking ship and he’s a genuine fan of the Star Wars universe; not just another suit. Next up on the corporate ladder for Filoni: Kathleen Kennedy’s job.

He recently praised Hayden Christian’s lightsaber skills, calling him “The Chosen One”. Real recognize real 🤝 

Loss of the Week:

Lakers fan tears achilles shooting the half court shot

With $55K on the line, he pulled up to the mic, said “This is what I do.” and immediately tore his achilles. Nightmare scenario, let’s just hope his friends and fam were busy that day and didn’t have to witness that.

Woman of the Week:

Dolly Parton

77 year old Dolly Parson stole the show with her halftime performance at Cowboys vs Commanders on Thanksgiving Day. She opened with Kjorlien Jolene, before going into some Queen classics.

It wasn’t just a statement win for the Cowboys, but a statement victory for the senior citizen community over zoomers as her performance absolutely dunked on Jack Harlow’s.

Dolly Parton catching dubs, not just for the ladies, but for an entire generation. Hossette.

Clown of the Week:

Josh Giddey

My brother in Christ…. you’re a good looking Australian NBA player. You can have basically any girl you want. Why on God’s green Earth would you go with a 15 year old sophomore in high school???

My knee-jerk reaction was, “She’s 15, what was she doing in the club?”. Very easy to see how the guy would have assumed she was of-age. But then a friend pointed out that he was wearing a different shirt in each vid, as well as another vid dropping where the girl claims to have dated him.

Sheesh man, not good.

An added layer of idiocy to the whole situation is that he allowed himself to be recorded / photographed while doing all of this. What did you think was going to happen??

Somebody clearly skipped either the NBA Rookie Transition Program, or public school 6th grade health class.

This is all speculative; this article will be updated once the truth comes out.

Fit of the Week:

Micah Parsons Thanksgiving day pregame drip

Need a Goodfellas-style steadicam shot following Micah into the locker room, through the tunnel, and onto the field wearing this fit.

Fantasy Advice of the Week:

Add Pat Freiermuth, TE

In his 2nd game off of injury, 1st without Matt Canada at OC, Freiermuth popped off for 9 receptions and 120 yards. He may have been prematurely dropped due to injury, so in a league where good TEs are far and few between, Pat is worth the look.

Hoss or Toss:

Greg Popovich grabbing the mic and telling Spurs fans to stop boo’ing Kawhi

Hoss: It’s definitely a gentlemanly move but…

Toss: Is it really necessary? Boo’ing opposing players is a part of the game and adds to the home court advantage. Plus if you’re Kawhi, it’s a little embarrassing having another man doing your bidding, kind of like having your dad handle the bully.

What do you think?

[Spoiler Free] Movie Review of the Week:

Napoleon (2023)

From special guest reviewer, Isa Morcos:

J👏O👏A👏Q👏U👏I👏N

Joaquin took a pretty dismal screenplay and made it way better than it deserved.

The plot was weak, the tone was confusing, but I generally enjoyed it. The battle scenes were glorious and engaging and the other characters were fun, casted well and entertaining. 

Overall I’m glad I saw Napoleon in theatres but if someone asked me what the movie was about I’d just say, “Napoleon’s itty bitty toxic relationship with Josephine and his love of war, and then some conversations with other historic leaders that I couldn’t tell were meant to be funny or serious”.

Hoss of the Week:

Zach Lamb

Q: What would your death row meal be?

Lamb: If you’ve been around me long enough, you’ve probably heard me talk about this place in Hoboken that has the best mutz in the world (shoutout to Vito’s). If I had the choice to pick my last meal, it would 100% be a mutz and sun dried tomato sandwich from Vito’s cooked by my boy Vito himself.

Not only is the food the best, but the tradition behind it can’t be matched. Every year on Thanksgiving morning, my dad goes with whichever of my siblings are in good enough shape the morning after Thanksgiving Eve to drive to Hoboken and pick up the mutz for the day. We all do our best to be there and making the ride is always worth it. You get there right for Vito’s to open and get the first cut of the day. It’s by far my favorite food on Thanksgiving day and it’s a tradition I’ll carry on forever (or at least until this death row meal).

I’ll throw a quick plug for Vito’s and highly recommend anyone who lives in NYC or nearby to make the trip one time to try.

Fan Question of the Week:

Season ends today, who’s winning the Super Bowl?

Great question, Timber. Fate of the universe on the line, the Martians have the death beam pointed at Earth, I’m going with the San Francisco 49ers.

The niners have the 5th ranked defense and a young QB with maturity well beyond his years, who also has the best weapons in the NFL in Deebo, Aiyuk, Kittle, and McCaffrey.

I just don’t see anyone beating them, unless of course, they beat themselves.
