Fun Facts: M.Yums
1. Her real name is Leia, but I think I've shared that already. Her aliases include "special baby", "tasty flavors", and her main name "My Yums"
2. She drinks alkaline water and soy milk. If out of milk she will literally throw her bowl across the floor to make sure I know.
3. She uses Wrigley's old food and water dish for both milk and water.
4. Wrigley would let Yums eat first when I gave him his dog food. She loves wet dog food.
5. She has a favorite chair outside where she likes to sit and roll around.
6. She will typically lay down on the pillow next to me until I either fall asleep or she's done waiting for me to fall asleep.
7. Her food dish is hot pink with an old Yoda drink topper in her water bowl. If Yoda isn't in the water dish then she won't eat.
8. She loves mid 1990's hip hop.
9. She once stole a McDonald's cheeseburger from me when I was high and ate the whole thing.
10. She's my first cat, and a 1st ballot pet hall of Famer.

Drew Brees unlikely to rush for 1,000 yards like Tom Brady
It’s the most pointless stat in Drew Brees’ storied career, but damnit aren’t all Brady/Brees comparisons somewhat interesting?
This past Sunday, perennial pocket passer, Tom Brady, achieved his 1,000th rushing yard. It took him 265 games since the year 2000 to do it. Unlike Randall Cunningham, Steve Young, or Michael Vick, who rushed for more than 13,000 yards combined, Brady has done most of his damage strictly from the pocket.
Drew Brees has played with a very similar style throughout his concurrent career. Since entering the league one year later in 2001, Brees has rushed for 762 yards in 261 games. Though neither passer will be remembered for his legs, it appears that Brady holds a slight advantage when it comes to rushing statistics.
While Brees averaged 1.6 yards per carry and 2.9 yards per game, Brady averaged 1.7 yards per carry and 3.8 yards per game. Brees’ three most prolific rushing seasons were for 84, 85, and 86 yards (2011), with only one of them coming in a Saints uniform. Brady’s three most prolific rushing seasons were for 110, 102, and 109 yards (2011). Neither have come close to repeating their rushing totals from 2011.
Brees has scored 116 1st downs in 465 career rushing attempts, which is good for around a 25% 1st down conversion rate. Brady has scored 198 1st downs in 579 career rushing attempts, which is good for around a 30% 1st down conversion rate.
Brees has fumbled 21 times (or once every 22 attempts) to Brady’s 28 (once every 21 attempts), so we’re splitting hairs here as it comes down to volume of attempts. It’s clear both future first ballot Hall of Famers have relied on their arms more than their legs, though they are both still dominant despite their “one-dimensional” styles of play.
Since Brees needs 238 more rushing yards to hit 1000, we can assume, at his current rate, that he won’t hit that mark for roughly another 82 games. That’s five seasons, and even though Brees has said he would like to play until age 45, it’s more unlikely than likely to happen.
It’s a good thing career rushing stats are probably the last thing Brees cares about as he pursues several more important tasks at hand. Among them, position his team for the playoffs, win his first MVP, and win his second Super Bowl.
It’s perhaps more likely than we think.

🤣 I know the NHL app did not just try and sell me on a Patrick Kane and Roman Josi Rivalry. No tea no shade but Josi isn’t even in Kane’s weight class. No one on the Preds is. I get they have to market it - but we are talking a 3x Cup Winner, Connie Winner, Olympic medalist, Art Ross, Hart, Ted Lindsay, Calder, 1st overall, 9x All Star, 100 Top Players, OHL jersey retired, 1k points, future first ballot hall of famer - in the convo for best American born player and then Roman Josi.

XPWEW Friday Night Pyro (7-10-2020)
XPWEW Friday Night PYRO
Episode: 434
Channel: VICE TV at 10PM EST
Location: The Barracks | Los Angeles, California
- Cold open shows a limousine pulling up and a door opens and pops out Ruckus with a big blunt followed by Jake Awesome and the rest of THE SET
(Friday Night Pyro Intro)
- Opening Segment: THE SET enters the ring from the parking lot area through the backstage (Ruckus, Jake Awesome, Myron Reed, Kotto Brazil, Jordan Oliver, Chrissy Rivera & Siaka Lexoni) with a very long boosting entrance that's very reminiscent of a WCW Nitro New World Order heelish entrance. Jake Awesome noticeably has a gold box with a ribbon on it that he teases at the camera. THE SET enters the ring at this point and Siaka Lexoni kicks off the nightly speech saying; "On the gang! On the family! On God! This is The Set!". World Champion Ruckus then takes the microphone and adoringly looks at International Champion Jake Awesome with a big grin and says; ":Last week this man (Jake) proved once again why he has my respect because he put the runt of the XPWEW locker room, The All Man and power-bombed that man off the damn planet. Can we re-roll that footage" (The SET watches replay after replay laughing at Jake Awesome throwing All Man off the stage last week on loop)
Jake Awesome grabs the mic from Ruckus; "I promised these two young men (Myron & Kotto) an opportunity. Even if I have to take it into my own hands, so what did I do? I threw the Tag Team Champion off the stage, Fair enough right?..I know that even after a fall like that The All Man will not let injury stop him, he's tougher than he looks. I know that the All Man is here tonight so I'd like to invite him to the ring but first I have a box right here, These are 6 gold chains, 6 gold chains with our very own THE SET logo on them and I wanna present them to all of you, because I got mine (Jake pulls chain out from under his shirt)
The Set all put on their respective chains and give dabs to Jake Awesome for purchasing them
- XPWEW Tag Team Champion All Man enters in a halo neck brace with wife and fellow champion All Woman (Tennille Dashwood). All Man: "I hate to spoil the party but Jake Awesome, you son of a bitch. I don't care if I spoil the party. You went from 1st ballot Hall of Famer to piece of shit Judas in the matter of a week...I can't eat. I can't sleep. I can't even use the bathroom without my wife help navigate me and it's all because of you and I got a call early this morning and I was told by General Manager Troy Clausen that because of my injury I have to forfeit the Tag Team Titles...Baby I'm sorry I let you down"
Ruckus: "Milk Man cut the bullshit, Nobody wants you here, Nobody wants neither of you here so I'm glad you have to forfeit the titles"
All Woman: "He has to go away for a while but I don't" *Chrissy Rivera steps forward
All Woman: "Because next week I want a match with Jake Awesome 1 on 1 with both hands tied behind his back, that's my only offer" (All Man looks at her as if "No no no baby no don't do this"
Jake Awesome: *chuckles* I accept
- Troy Clausen enters (takes both vacant XPWEW Tag Team Titles) I'll allow the match next week but at All or Nothing, Myron Reed and Kotto Brazil you will challenge The Death Machines Joe Gacy & Audrey Carbine and the winner will be the NEW XPWEW Tag Team Champions.
- The Set joins commentary

- James Westerbeck: "I'm here right now with the 2-0 Romeo Roselli. Romeo, I know you are good friends with The All Man and tonight you'll be in a 4 on 4 elimination match against The Set so what's on your mind?"
Romeo: "Revenge. Revenge for a bully. I've been bullied my whole life but when actions were made I backed it up and I always got the upper hand, so to The Set tonight the bullies get bullied. Don't blink and nice chain by the way and you know I love shiny things."
- Garrett Thompson & Ethan Bedlam enters
- The Marauder Simon Gotch & Mandy Leon enters
- Champagne Clausen enters
Tag Team Match
M2: Garrett Thompson & Ethan Bedlam def. Simon Gotch & Champagne (w/ Mandy Leon)
After the match: Champagne hits The Chardonnay on Gotch and on commentary Nick Simmonds points out Garrett Thompson & Ethan Bedlam have 4 straight wins as a team to which Garrett overhears that walking by and snatches Nick's headset: Garrett: "Yeah what kinda shit is that like? Four straight wins and Mister Troy Clausen grants those losers Audrey Carbine and Joe Gacy a title shot, I was at Lockdown and they bloody lost to a man that's wearing a halo right now and Myron Reed and Kotto Brazil *chuckles* Who have they beat? I'm not gonna beg I'm just gonna keep winning until you can't ignore me any more."

XPWEW Women's Championship on the line
10 minute Submission Match (If Audrey can make Priscilla submit in under the ten minute time limit she will become the Women's Champion)
M5: Priscilla Kelly def. Audrey Carbine
Match ends in controversial fashion where Carbine makes Priscilla tap out right as the clock expires and it makes her spaz out and kick the ropes in frustration. Kelly attacks Carbine and takes her down and she goes under the ring and grabs a bag of (what we unsure, thumb tacks historically would be in a bag like that. Priscilla: "Maybe Audrey next week I'll give you twenty minutes. Try again hahahaha"
- The Set enters
- Alveno La Flare enters (camera glances at Ruckus mocking La Flare "I thought I deaded this ***** already)
- Romeo Roselli enters
- Golden Bryce enters
- Leonard McGraw enters (gets in Bryce's face then Jake's then Ruckus')
4 on 4 Elimination Tag Team Match
M6: THE SET (Jake Awesome, Ruckus, Myron Reed & Kotto Brazil)
def.
Leonard McGraw, Golden Bryce, Romeo Roselli & Alveno La Flare
*Match of the Night*
Match ends: Leonard McGraw lasts a while alone with a well oiled machine of teamwork offense from Ruckus and Jake Awesome but ultimately Jake hoists McGraw up for the Awesome Bomb and off the rope Ruckus springs for a bankroll off the stalling Awesome Bomb for the 1-2-3 and THE SET celebrates but McGraw regains his composure to attack Ruckus and Jake but then Jordan Oliver tries to sneak behind him and strike McGraw with his Juniorweight Championship belt but McGraw ducks and goes to clothesline Oliver but Oliver scurries under the rope up the stage and joins The Set at the top of the ramp. Leonard McGraw stands in the ring with his hands on his hips and turns around to a 6 Rings spear from Golden Bryce. Bryce then gets hype and signals he wants Ruckus' title as the show ends
[Order of eliminations]
- Ruckus eliminates Alveno La Flare
- Leonard McGraw eliminates Kotto Brazil
- Golden Bryce eliminates Myron Reed
- Jake Awesome eliminates Golden Bryce
- Ruckus eliminates Romeo Roselli
- Ruckus eliminates Leonard McGraw after a double team mugging with Jake Awesome
Sole Survivors: THE SET (Ruckus & Jake Awesome)

The 2019-20 Los Angeles Lakers Appreciation Post
Just the other day, as I hunkered down buried by blankets flipping through Bill Simmons’ ‘The Book of Basketball’ with the swipe of my finger on my Google tablet, it had me thinking about this NBA season that has been put on pause as if franchise mode from NBA 2K had come to life. He talked about ‘the secret’ to winning championships, a secret he learned from NBA legend Isiah Thomas. How the key to winning basketball games is not about basketball. How a team needs star players and to then be surrounded by players who not only fit those stars but accepted the roles designed for them. It was a quick and depressing reminder that this season’s Laker team had all of those ingredients, yet might not be able to have the opportunity to go hoist the golden Larry O’Brien trophy. And if they can’t, I wanted to take some time to thank and appreciate them for arguably the most fun Laker season I’ve ever experienced.
As last season’s team floundered from a chemistry perspective from paralyzing trade rumors, this year’s team seemingly made it their quest not to follow suit. Head honcho Rob Pelinka made it his mission to find veterans to fit the team this summer after acquiring Anthony Davis, and nailed it, adding the likes of Danny Green, Jared Dudley, Avery Bradley, Dwight Howard, and others to the mix. The team gelled instantly, despite dealing with plenty of turbulence from the start of the season with plenty more (sadly) coming along the way. Danny Green, a man who has been around the block plenty during his NBA career, said on Zach Lowe’s podcast that this year’s team has been the most fun he’s had off the court. Jared Dudley, another player who knows his way around the league, echoed similar sentiments. This team genuinely loved each other and played like it. It was infectious (maybe not the best word choice right now but hey it’s the best I got) and permeated all the way into my room whenever I’d watch the games. That wasn’t more evident than this play in January against the Detroit Pistons, where Alex Caruso gets a deflection, Kyle Kuzma recovers the loose ball then throws it back to Caruso for him to throw down another ruthless dunk. Yet, behind him, two future first-ballot Hall of Famers in LeBron James and Dwight Howard are flying right there with him to celebrate and bask in the joy with Caruso. It’s my favorite play of the entire season. It perfectly captured the fun and joy this team has playing together.
Yet, as fun as this team was to watch, they were just as good as they were fun. They were just beginning to peak as a team. Every night it seemed someone not named LeBron James or Anthony Davis (more on them in a second) would step up. After coming back from injury, Avery Bradley added offense, like his 24 point performance against the Clippers where he gave Patrick Beverley a taste of his own medicine, to his crippling on-ball defense, shooting 41.8% on catch-and-shoot threes since January first. Danny Green always brought his defense. While his jumper waxed and waned, it didn’t stop him from hitting big shots like this against Dallas in November. Dwight Howard went from un-signed in August to dominating MVP candidate Nikola Jokic in his own building and giving the Lakers numerous sparks like that off the bench. Alex Caruso was both an analytics darling and fan favorite, routinely giving the Lakers a boost off the bench as he did in that same game against the Nuggets that was highlighted when talking about Dwight. JaVale McGee was playing the best defense of his Lakers career that’s been 1.5 seasons long now. Though Rajon Rondo and Kyle Kuzma were enigmatic this season, they both showed out for some big performances, against Oklahoma City (without James, Davis, and Green) and at home against Boston.
And then there are the stars. Let’s start with Anthony Davis, who was absolutely sensational. He literally made greatness look routine. Some games, like his 40-20 masterpiece against the Memphis Grizzlies or dropping 41 points and 9 rebounds in his return to New Orleans, felt louder than others, but he was just as impactful regardless. His chemistry with LeBron was palpable and frightening from the beginning and seemed to get even more devastating as the season progressed. Perhaps, even more, frightening: since January 1st, Anthony Davis shot 40.5% from three on 3.3 attempts per game. Not only was he more comfortable taking those shots, but he was unafraid to fly in clutch moments, hitting some big shots from three to either seal games or keep the Lakers in it. Maybe it was confidence, maybe it was getting over the shoulder injury that nagged AD the first half of the year off a missed dunk against Charlotte, but regardless, he was already a devastating scorer without the three-ball, and he was just beginning to add that to his repertoire. And adding that would’ve meant Davis could exploit his abnormal handle to go with his extra-terrestrial frame and athleticism as he did here against Al Horford. Davis has never shot above 34% from three for a season in his career. The thought of Davis as a lethal weapon from all three levels of the floor is… yeah, absolutely terrifying.
We haven’t even begun to talk about AD’s defense. He added Defensive Player of the Year caliber defense to a hefty offensive stat line. It didn’t matter who Davis guarded. Have him run around defending guards or banging against bigs, he’d shut them down. When LeBron and Anthony Davis shared the floor without Rajon Rondo or another big man, the Lakers boasted a robust 17.6 Net Rating, per NBA.com, including a staggering defensive rating of 92.1 points per 100 possessions. For context, the Milwaukee Bucks’ league-best defensive rating was 101.6. The Lakers’ defense, when it wasn’t weighed down by inconsistent bench play, turned absolutely dominant because of Davis’ dexterity to cover any hole presented to him. On top of that, not only would Davis routinely stifle possessions but he’d bring the ball up and just do the damn thing by himself to generate easy offense for the Lakers. While the Lakers had a negative net rating with Davis on the floor this season, they were beginning to turn it around once he played without James on the floor with him. Over the course of the season, the Lakers had a -3.2 Net Rating without James while Davis was on the floor, but had a +6.6 Net Rating in 169 minutes from February 1st on in that exact scenario. It wasn’t always pretty but it did the job in big games late in the season, and Davis was the biggest reason why. Davis’ future regarding another contract has suddenly become a little cloudy as to when and how that extension will come because of the financial impact this hiatus will have on the league, but this season proved Davis was worth all the trouble to acquire him and will be worth every penny he gets in the future. He was undoubtedly dominant.
Davis was dominant, yet he still wasn’t even the best player on the team. That honor would belong to the King. Obviously, as a Lakers fan, I’d love nothing more than to win a championship and for LeBron to win MVP, but that award is likely Giannis’ to lose. However, had the season not been postponed, there was an avenue for LeBron to swipe the MVP from the Greek Freak’s clutches after the roll LeBron went on after the All-Star break. He began that spree with a 32 point, seven assist win against the Grizzlies, a near triple-double against the Celtics and this game-winning Kobe-esque fadeaway post jumper over Jaylen Brown, sonning Zion Williamson’s New Orleans Pelicans not once but twice, outplaying Giannis Antetokounmpo and accepting the challenge of guarding him to the tune of a 37-8-8 masterpiece and win over the first place Bucks, and ending the streak with this Klutch And-1 bucket to beat the Clippers. Had the Lakers managed to swipe the best record in the NBA from the Bucks (they were only three games behind the Bucks with Giannis on track to miss 1-2 weeks. I’m not going to use this space to make an MVP argument, but one could certainly have been made for LeBron had he maintained that pace. LeBron led the league in assists. He showed up defensively. A good portion of the team’s chemistry could be attributed to James and his leadership, both on and off the floor. He showed again he’s the best player in the NBA (in my opinion).
Everything that championship teams need, this year’s Lakers team showed time and time again that they have it. Whether this season was the best chance the Lakers had at winning a title with this group is debatable, but the window was there. Those windows are so precious in the NBA and could go in the blink of an eye. Yet, due to extremely unfortunate circumstances, that window this season may get shut for nothing that has to do with basketball. That is nowhere near the top of the list of priorities to deal with right now as a society, but the uncertainty regarding the immediate future of the NBA and its potential champion is really disappointing as a fan. I hope a cure can be cultivated soon to not only save the numerous that are sick right now but get our beloved NBA back up and running. If it can come back, then great. But if it doesn’t, I thought it’d be prudent to show some love and appreciation to the most fun Laker team since the 2010 Championship team, because they deserve it for spreading their love and joy to the millions of Lakers fans across the globe, myself included.
P.S.: I hope everyone is safe and well during this tumultuous time. We’ll get through it. But in the meantime: STAY THE FUCK AT HOME!
Ok, Take Care!
