Flying Private
Being a public figure came with a price – little to no privacy, secrecy, crazy paparazzi – it seamed to be a nightmare, but hidden in-between it’s flaws Alexia found some perks.
Tumblr media
The Catalan star’s crazy schedule didn’t help her private life, love life out of the window – for now – Alexia focused on her public appearances, helping women’s football grow.
Trip to Paris here, quick appearance in Rome, little interview in London – Alexia was everywhere.
Behind the scenes, a key piece of the puzzle; Y/N Y/L/N. Joan Laporta’s loyal pilot. They had grown close over the years and when Joan became Fc Barcelona’s president – for a second time – he invited Y/N on the journey.
And so it began, Y/N flew all Barcelona players to every corner in the world; preseason in the USA, basketball games here, European football matches there. Y/N was crucial for Fc Barcelona to keep everyone’s public appearances up while allowing them to get the optimal rest before crucial games.
With Y/N’s little vacation possibilities, Laporta offered the pilot a compromise – whenever the plane was land-bound Y/N was able to do as she pleased. The possibility to travel all over the world, stay at the best hotels, eat the best food; it was Y/N’s dream job.
Unluckily for Y/N, the latest trip to Madrid came with a personal compromise; Y/N had to step in and replace a security member’s role.
All plans out the window now, the loyal pilot followed orders to a T – shadowing the Catalan star during the three day trip, keeping an eye out during meals, making sure that whenever Alexia sneaked out she returned safe and sound.
That night the midfielder’s annoyance at the lack of personal space was noticeable – add that she was in a foul mood and you get an explosive combination; and explode she did. Now safe and sound at the hotel, both Alexia and Y/N were at the bar. The pilot kept a safe distance from the midfielder.
“Is shadowing people like you’re a lost puppy a habit of yours or have you reserved it only for me?” Alexia asked as she approached the pilot, annoyance in her tone.
“I see that your evening has calmed down – for now at least – I will leave you with the remaining security team.” Y/N replied, pointing to the two security guards of the hotel, downing the rest of her drink she added “And seen as how you’re in a foul mood, I will take this opportunity to go and get my well deserved rest in”
The indifference that radiated off of Y/N’s voice was palpable, many people would describe it as cocky – arrogant even – but Alexia found it intriguing.
The Catalan star grew accustomed to everyone treating her a certain way; admiration and love in their voices whenever someone approached her, but Y/N? The pilot treated Alexia like she was any other Joe in the world.
Sitting at the bar now, the midfielder was dumbfounded – watching how the pilot walked away, not even looking back once – she was bamboozled.
Replaying the interaction over and over, Alexia was stuck looking for ways to get back in the good graces of the pilot. The midfielder knew she had to apologize for her bad behavior.
Early in the morning, Alexia made her way to one of Spain’s most famous bakeries: El Riojano. Getting some delicious Spanish pastries, among them Y/N’s favorite: ensaimada, a mallorcan specialty. Alexia made her way back to the hotel – crossing path with the pilot at reception, Y/N didn’t say a word.
Later on, as everyone boarded the private jet headed back to Barcelona, Alexia carefully placed the paper bag filled with pastries on the seat closest to the cabin. At first, Y/N looked at the bag from afar but as she made her way to the front of the plane, she inspected it – looking for it’s owner.
“Is this anybodies?” The pilot asked, looking around a sneaky Putellas popped her head up “I got those for you, a little gift to make up for my behavior yesterday” the midfielder sneaked a cheeky smile in.
For the first time, Y/N didn’t display indifference towards the Barcelona star “Thank you, they are my favorite” the pilot stated to which, very quietly – as Y/N made her way to the cabin – the midfielder whispered “I know”
And thus a tradition was born. During the season, Alexia would go out of her way to purchase Y/N’s favorite pastries, placing them on the seat closest to the cabin. It was their little ritual.
One morning – on one of Fc Barcelona Femenis champions league trips – the team discretely inspected Alexia’s delivery.
“What was that about?” Pati asked, taking the seat besides the Catalan midfielder “What was what?” Alexia played it cool, but her face spoke louder. The midfielder was blushing, looking everywhere but into Patri’s eyes.
“Feeling shy?” Mapi mocked her captain.
This was new for everyone – Alexia included. Usually, she was the bold, direct type; but with Y/N she forgot how to act. Luckily for the midfielder, Y/N was oblivious to the mocking – and as she made her way to the cabin – the pilot picked the little paper bag up, taking one of the ensaimada out and straight into her mouth it went. Sending Alexia a thank you head-nod as she greeted the co-pilot.
It all made sense now.
“OMG” Pina was shocked “You’re sleeping with our pilot??” the mini Putellas asked, the rest of the team waited anxiously for an answer.
“It’s not like that” Alexia defended her situation “I – I just”
Mapi came in like a bolder, mockingly nudging at her captain’s arm “She might have done her ACL in, but girly is still out here scoring” the defender joked.
“Shhhh” Putellas was embarrassed, not wanting Y/N to hear any of the teams shenanigans – for however true they were – she distracted them.
“Yeah yeah… maybe it would be best” Paños stepped in “We wouldn’t want the pilot to be distracted” she further mocked.

Defensive Assistant Coach of the Year: Jim Schwartz, Defensive Coordinator, Cleveland Browns (Lou Anarumo, Aaron Glenn, Patrick Graham, Brian Flores, Vic Fangio)
Additional Speculation On Season Storylines (Listed by team) List does not include all NFL teams
Las Vegas Raiders
Raiders fire Josh McDaniels after starting 2-10 and losing to the Chiefs Week 12 in Las Vegas, and promote defensive coordinator Patrick Graham to be their interim head coach.
Patrick Graham will finish the season with a record of 2-3, leaving the Raiders with a final record of 4-13.
The Raiders will fire general Manager Dave Ziegler, interim coach Patrick Graham, and a majority of the rest of McDaniels' staff after the regular season is completed.
Tennessee Titans
Starting quarterback Ryan Tannehill gets injured early in the season, and the Titans allow scond-year QB Malik Willis and rookie Will Levis to struggle for the starting spot before Levis wins it outright after during Tennessee's bye week in Week 7.
Levis then manages to lead the Titans to an 8-3 record from the bye week on, putting up Rookie of the Year-worthy numbers... if he had started the full season.
The Titans still manage to fall in the Wildcard Round to a tough Browns team, but this year still cements Levis as the starting quarterback going into 2024, with Tannehill likely to be moved by the front office in the offseason.
Washington Commanders
Ron Rivera is fired after a Week 16 loss to the Jets, finishing his season in Washington with a record of 4-11. Assistant head coach and Offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy is promoted to be the interim head coach.
Bieniemy then coaches the Commanders to a 2-0 record in the final games, and after the season, his interim tag is dropped in order to make Eric Bieniemy the full-time head coach of the Washington Commanders in 2024.
Aside
Originally, I had afew wonkier predictions, namely the Cardinals and Colts trading their respective picks to quarterback-needy teams so those unnamed teams could select one of USC QB Caleb Williams or UNC QB Drake Maye.
My only reservation was that by the time October comes around, we're gonna have seen a much better sample size of football in 2023, so I'm certain I'll have opinions on it. I'd just like to save some for the wilder stuff for when there's a clearer picture to expand upon.
Ideally, I'd like to do one of these at the end of every month of the season, so we'll see how that goes.
End of the way, I wanted to put something out to reign in the new year, and I hope you're along for the ride.
Now who's ready for some mothafuckin football?

Tennis - Pollen
(Indie Pop, Soft Rock, Yacht Rock)
The married duo’s latest album melds their romantic sophisti-pop with new deviations into shimmering yacht rock and shimmering disco, Pollen as much about escapism as it is about the consequences of it. They’re less preoccupied with marital love than ever, but the pure romance and darker sensibilities of Pollen make for their most engaging album to date.
☆☆☆☆
Tennis’ music is so deeply intertwined with Patrick Riley and Alaina Moore’s marriage that rarely is there a moment where their full commitment to one another isn’t at least somewhat present within their music. Over the more than ten years they’ve been creating together, the duo’s music has sat squarely in the world of light indie pop with retro stylings fit for the timeless romance their songs focus on - the brill building worship of their 2011 debut, the psych-infused ‘70s pop of Yours Conditionally, the clash between domestic bliss and external events tearing at it that made 2020’s Swimmer such a delightful listen - and if their music hasn’t always been the flashiest within modern indie, it’s certainly been some of the most pleasant and rewarding. With their latest album, Pollen, they’ve shifted to a slightly different frame of mind while keeping the core of their music intact, turning themselves towards electrifying escapist fantasies. They’re less preoccupied with marital love than usual, but the pure romance and darker sensibilities of Pollen make for their most engaging album to date, touching upon the ways love can be reshaped and given brilliant new hues as Riley & Moore’s romantic sophisti-pop finds common ground with yacht rock, disco, and folk pop, fully immersing themselves in new musical stylings while comfortable in their confectionary indie pop sound the whole way through. In turn, Pollen ends up their most exciting and playful project to date, even when their modest sound and polite compositions keep the music from completely latching onto the duo’s new thematic ideas. Like usual, Tennis’ padded sound is perfectly fit for nostalgia-laden pop songs that don’t feel like they’re relying on the sounds of the past to pull you into the music. Their production is glossy as ever, and with mastering done by industry veteran Joe Laporta. Pollen keeps a hazy ring around its ten songs and a rich, well-balanced blend of sounds the whole way through. These songs are simple in their structure and instrumentation, but Tennis, like always, do a wonderful job making plush indie pop a joy to listen to. While Forbidden Doors' loosened bassline and soft piano leads make for a laidback album opener, the short guitar solos and Moore’s fluttering vocal performances are the push the song needs to go from a fun listen to a lovely one, sticking in your mind for weeks as Moore’s gentle melodicism and the sturdy production keeps you coming back. These simple pleasures are what Pollen thrives on: One Night With the Valet is a lovely ode to the first time Moore and Riley met atop gangly piano chords and a plucky synth bass; Glorietta melds musings on American patriotism (“Their patriotic displays are so loud / I can't see the sunset through the sound”) with the vastness of the States (“Paving all over the shoreline / Can't believe what it looks like / We're doing whatever feels good”) atop punchy, caramelized soft rock; Never Been Wrong gives folk balladry the Tennis treatment with subdued acoustic guitar and rushing synths to bring an intimate mood compounded by the playful waltz of its 6/8 time signature. None of the foundational parts of Pollen’s songs can’t be found in hundreds of other pop songs, but it’s the mood Tennis injects into them - the dreamy romance and vintage pop sounds - that makes the album so wonderful from start to finish. They play it safe, but that doesn’t mean they don’t play it smoothly and beautifully. As Tennis move their music towards a slightly less grounded world, one removed from the mortality and anxiety that brought Swimmer to its interesting middle ground between rich sophisti-pop and moody dream pop, they give greater attention as to when to let the music glide through the air and when to settle it into a specific environment. Paper, with its nature-focused lyrics and breezy woodwind embellishments, picks up the energy in the largely understated second half of the album while still honing in on how romance permeates everything around you when you’ve held onto it as long as Riley & Moore have (“All I hope for takes me deeper / With never any plan, only echoes”), and Let’s Make a Mistake Tonight is one of the duo’s most exhilarating tracks to date as Moore’s starry-eyed songwriting (“Let's cruise in the vesper night / Concrete in the headlights / Wheels set in their arc like gods”) reacts with how deep her love of Riley is after their many years together (“I can't help it, I can't walk away / Take my pain with pleasure any day / We live on the ashes”), Tennis utilizing their simple song structures to make thoughtful statements about how love transforms the world around us and how retreating from the world around you can heighten that romance even more. Seeking anything further than that out of Pollen and you won’t end up with much, but immersing you in simple and honest songs about romance and how it reacts to both the dark and the light is what Tennis have always been best at, and their ambitions haven’t changed a bit with Pollen. It’s undoubtedly not the most thrilling listen this year, but Pollen again captures the magic Tennis so effortlessly create in a compact collection of lush indie pop songs where half the fun is in just losing yourself in the duo’s sunny, sparkly music and its ability to articulate love in so many ways, Pollen willing to bend its light to make statements on devotion they never have before, Tennis in proximity to bliss but testing out new angles and speeds at which it comes towards them. Where plainness can bring beigeness and disinterest to other bands, Tennis use it to emphasize how Riley and Moore’s familiarity with everything about one another and the many years they’ve spent together, Pollen’s soft glow and crisp instrumentation instilling both the familiarity of classic pop formulas and the beauty the two of them see the world through. It’s easygoing, loveable indie pop, and Tennis do it better than anyone else out there, Pollen another heartfelt success in their discography.

Solange es den Iran gibt, gibt es Hoffnung… für Netanjahu
katholisches.info: Von General Piero Laporta* Laßt uns frohlocken! Der Iran hat nur gescherzt. Genauer: Die Raketen und Drohnen waren echt, doch Joe Biden hatte über die Türkei, Jordanien, die Golfstaaten und so mohammedanisierend weiter ermahnt, Israel nicht zu viel Schaden zuzufügen. Es gibt also nur einen Bösewicht, Benjamin „Bibi“ Netanjahu, der entschlossen ist, den Krieg fortzusetzen, ... http://dlvr.it/T5gXQ5

“In The Balance” (Single) is out now! Stream it here.
I wrote this track a year ago as a catharsis for a lot of frustration I was feeling towards myself and the world. Just wanting to feel centered, wanting to reach that perfect golden mean between all of my priorities and obligations and desires. Feeling that the second it comes is the second it slips away. Balance - the infinite chase.
This is more or less an “instrumental” track but I find myself better able to communicate honestly without vocals a lot of the time. I hope you like it! I’m grinding on a new album right now so this is a taste of a whole lot more to come ♫ -Vitesse X
