topper masterlist

If there was anything that motivated Topper to play even better than usual, it was the thought of having you in the stands cheering him on. Amongst the chaos on the field, he was able to return back to a calmer state when he saw you in the crowd.

You always made it a priority to support Topper at as many games as you could. And you had done well on keeping that promise, only having missed a quarter of one of his games due to a nasty cough you were lucky enough to get rid of.

Even before you and Topper made your relationship official, you always committed to doing your pregame ritual. For the first few games you attended as Topper’s girlfriend, you went along with the same handshake you did as friends. At the end you threw one arm over the other’s shoulders for a small hug and a few words of encouragement on your end, due to Topper holding his helmet in his other hand.

This time after your handshake, Topper took it as an opportunity to press a sloppy kiss to your cheek. It more so ended up being the side of your mouth, but you weren’t complaining. You were a bit surprised at the change at first, but welcomed it and pressed a kiss to the side of his mouth too. “What was that for?” You questioned.

He shrugged, lips curling into a smile. “Nothing, just felt like it.”

You giggled, throwing your arm around him and leaning closer to his ear like usual. “Fine by me. Go get ‘em.”

He patted your shoulder before he had to pull away. “Love ya.” He responded with a nod and wink before putting in his mouth guard, jogging out onto the field.

“Such a simp.” Cody told Topper once he approached his team, the boy shaking his head. “Do you really have to make out with your girl before every game?”

“If you hate it so much then why are you watching, bro?” He shot back, securing his helmet on both sides.

“Nah, man. Doesn’t it get old though? Being with the same girl all the time?”

Topper took the chance to turn his head towards you, met with your cheerful expression and mini pom-poms in your hands, grinning back at him. “Nope. It never gets old.” He answered simply. “Maybe you’ll understand one day.”

Cody scoffed. “No thanks. I hope your head’s in the game, T. And not thinking about homegirl over there.”

“Relax, man. We’ve been winning games haven’t we? If anything, she’s the reason.” He raved.

“Aww, get out of here with that corny shit. We’ve got a game to play.” Cody whined, shoving Topper’s shoulder jokingly.

“Hope you have these plays down, bro.”

“Hope you can still throw without Y/n holding your hand.” Cody quipped.

“Hope you can still walk after I’m done beating your ass.” Topper retorted. “Stop talking about her. Get in your position, dude.”

“There he is!” Cody shouted in satisfaction at getting Topper riled up for the game, the boys lining up in their respective positions. “Let’s go, QB. We’ve got some real ass to kick now.”

a/n: didn’t know how to end this at all lol. i miss my qb!topper days

LIFE CARE CENTER

As it turns out, there are a lot of old people at assisted living places. From my brief time there, it seems like they just want to chill and take it easy. They’ve already done everything they meant to. They ran their race and had kids or didn’t have kids, had several husbands or wives. It’s pretty fantastic. I was there to visit someone who I’m technically not related to. It’s my dad’s sister’s husband’s aunt. She’s almost ninety. Her and her husband, Uncle Billy (who passed away probably about fifteen years ago), used to have these great Christmas parties every year. My family isn’t Italian, not even the littlest, I’m pretty sure, but this aunt and uncle to my uncle are, and of course they would have these amazing spreads of food. Whole rooms of food. This aunt was such a firecracker. She was a peppy little Italian lady, with always a short haircut. I can’t remember but I bet she used to pinch my cheeks. I got momentarily discouraged when I tried to enter the Life Care Center and the door wouldn’t open. Something’s wrong!, I thought. Then I realized you had to be buzzed in, and there was an elderly volunteer behind the desk working the buzzer. Hurry up already! It’s like when you’re stuck driving behind an old person -- everything was at that speed. I asked where Room 180 was and she pointed down the hall. Walking by the cafeteria, I wondered how much flirting was going on in there. Some old people really go for it, maybe because they were scandalous in their day, or maybe to try to keep themselves young. I hadn’t slept well the night before and everything seemed like a video game. It was also a really hot day, like a lot of these ones we’ve been having recently, and so everything was already a little woozy and slowed down. You know when you’re looking for a room looking for a room looking for a room, then suddenly you find the room and the person you’ve come to see is right there? Suddenly she was right there and my brain automatically said, “Hey friend,” in a bright voice. I mean my mouth said it. She looked up from her wheelchair in front of her bed and she didn’t quite smile. She had been through too much recently to smile. She had fallen and broken her hip and she had broken something else. That’s why she was here. She told me about the pain, how painful it was. That if she’d had a gun at that moment... I sat next to her and we talked for an hour and a half. Of course, key to talking is listening. This aunt likes me for some reason, or as my real aunt tells me, “She looooves you.” I got a lot of people, friends, that got a part of them that hate me because some people love me. That’s human nature. Usually about once every couple months someone will say to me, “Who couldn’t like YOU?” But they say it with a lot of resentment, they can’t help it. It just comes out. I try to use my currency with this aunt to make her feel better, by visiting her. She tells me a lot of people have been by to visit her, because, she tells me, she always used to visit people in these situations. I think I then quoted John Lennon and said, “Well, like John Lennon said, the love you take is equal to the love you make,” which didn’t sound nearly as corny in person... I hope. She said she’d been trying to eat, she’d lost fifteen pounds, was down to ninety pounds after the fall, and she was trying to gain it back. Needing to eat and gain weight -- a woman’s worst fear and also a woman’s dream. A nurse came in with a tray of food, some mashed potatoes with some type of hash, and apple pie with vanilla ice cream. She slowly ate it, as if she was working on something. She didn’t really feel well enough to eat that much, but she tried. She said the food there was so-so, not exactly like the trays of prosciutto and pans of lasagna they had at their parties. Like I said, she had always been kinda little and slight, but now looking at her, my mind couldn’t help thinking of the beautiful women I knew who were currently in their prime, and the curves and suppleness and ampleness in certain places their bodies had, and how full of life and sexuality, which I guess is just life, their bodies were. Usually whenever something is depressing or something bad happens, I immediately start thinking about sexy women, like a balm or something I lean on. I don’t feel like analyzing it too much more than this, but you get it. She asked if I was seeing anyone and I almost said, “No, those bitches can all die! Doing me fucking dirty!” No, I diplomatically and honestly said, “Oh, no, there are some women out there who I care about, but it’s not easy.” Some bullshit like that. She then looked at me and said, “She’s out there. You just haven’t met her yet.” It seemed like wisdom, though I couldn’t be more skeptical. Maybe she was just quoting that Michael Buble song, “Haven’t Met You Yet.” What Italian doesn’t love Buble? I didn’t know this, but she’s an avid Patriots fan. She broke down the whole situation last year of Garoppolo getting traded. “I think it was that Brady felt threatened by this young, handsome QB and thought he was gonna take his job and so Brady had him traded.” I told her I agreed with her and that they should be good again this year and that I wouldn’t be surprised if Brady won one more Super Bowl and called it a career. I told her she had football season to look forward to. She made sure I was a football fan, and I told her I was a Patriots fan and to an unhealthier extent a Michigan Wolverines fan, a mania I had inherited from my father. I told her Brady went to Michigan and that my friend taught Brady and Gisele’s kids tennis closer to Boston, and that I was trying to get a match with Gisele. I think she thought this was funny but she didn’t have enough energy to do more than smile. She talked about her job (long since retired from) as a secretary at a school, and I so easily pictured her in the mix of a lively school environment, dishing with all her coworkers and knowing all the kids. She said that her routine when she worked was she would wake up at 5:30, go to school, then come home and while still in her dress clothes she would take a fifteen minute nap on the couch, perfect amount of time, she said, to power up, and then she would be ready to make dinner for her family. This image of her sleeping on the couch in her dress clothes I thought was fantastic. She said her kids would always have friends over too, there were always friends over, and I said I bet she must have liked that, and she said she did. I asked if she drank coffee, I guess because I think coffee is so great and is such a daily therapy, kind of like thinking about sexy women but different, and she said she did but they hadn’t been giving her any. So I said, “Well, why don’t I come back next Sunday and bring you some really good coffee?” She got as excited as she could. I’m tempted to bring her some coffee and a joint and everything would be cool with her. It’s kind of like my Tuesdays with Morrie but it’s my Sundays with Angie. I don’t think I’ll write any more about this though I plan to see her as many times as she wants. As I tried to open the front door to leave, I found that I was locked in, and then the old lady at the desk buzzed me out with a slow little wave and a smile.

Your Friday Morning Roundup

So the Sixers looked how we wanted them to look on Tuesday: dominant.

Ben Simmons recorded a triple-double with two and a half minutes left in the third quarter while Joel Embiid racked up 30 points in a 127-108 win over the Chicago Bulls in their home opener.

The Bulls put up a good fight in the first half, but the team went on a 17-0 run in the third quarter to run away with the victory. Embiid and Dario Saric (however you pronounce his name) recorded double-doubles in the win, while rookie Landry Shamet scored 12 points on 4-for-7 shooting, all from three.

But the biggest story of the night was probably Markelle Fultz. He scored 12 points, which was good, but on 5-of-15 shooting. It was mainly garbage time, but the Sixers fans gave him so much confidence in the game. He also hit his first 3:

nothin' but net.@MarkelleF | #HereTheyCome pic.twitter.com/cmg0GdQNI3

— Philadelphia 76ers (@sixers) October 19, 2018

Maybe that will help later in the season. The form does look better, but maybe more reps will mean a much more improved Fultz.

Up next is a Saturday night tilt against the Magic at home. Tip-off is at 7:30 PM on NBC Sports Philadelphia.

In other Sixers news, the team will plan to discuss T.J. McConnell’s future at the end of the season.

With the announcement of the G-League’s alternative for one-and-done guys, the 2021 Miami first round draft pick has already lost value.

The team is also continuing the free Frosty promotion, but with new tiers as well

NBC Sports Philadelphia is also launching a new Sixers show.

The Roundup:

The Flyers also played last night, but lost to the Columbus Blue Jackets 6-3. Travis Konecny, Sean Couturier, and Oskar Lindblom were the Flyers goal scorers.

The team led 2-1 after one, but the Blue Jackets went on a three-goal outburst, including two from Cam Atkinson, to pretty much seal the deal.

Anthony Duclair may have provided us with an early goal of the year nominee in the first period:

They’re back in action Saturday afternoon against the New Jersey Devils at 1 PM on NBC Sports Philadelphia.

As Sunday comes closer, the Eagles are getting a little healthier on the injury front:

#Eagles Thursday Injury Report

DNP: LB Alexander (quadricep), CB Douglas (not injury related), LB Gerry (ankle, knee), S Graham (hamstring), CB Jones (hamstring), RB Sproles (hamstring)

Limited: T Johnson (ankle), CB Mills (hamstring), DT Ngata (calf)

— Philadelphia Eagles (@Eagles) October 18, 2018

Full: DE Barnett (shoulder), T Peters (biceps), QB Wentz (back)

— Philadelphia Eagles (@Eagles) October 18, 2018

As I mentioned in yesterday’s Roundup, Douglas lost his grandmother but should be good to go for Sunday.

Isaac Seumalo is starting to settle in as a starter.

“I think it was one of the best things that could have happened,” Seumalo said this week. “Sometimes, [in order to] kinda really get better, you have to lose a lot. … [getting benched] kind of changed my mentality, how I played, and it kind of set me on the path where I am today — having a lot more fun, playing a lot looser, letting the game come to me. Really just taking it one play at a time. I know it’s cheesy and corny, but …. You’ve got to be in the moment.

“Game day is not a time to think. You’ve just got to go out and play.”

How is the team’s salary cap situation for 2019?

In other sports news, the Boston Red Sox are going to the World Series after beating the Houston Astros in Game 5 of the ALCS.

Cowboys wide receiver Terrance Williams was suspended three games for substance abuse.

Von Miller and the Broncos kicked the Cardinals’ ass last night.

The popular high school and college basketball site “City of Basketball Love” ended after six years of operations in a tweet sent out on Tuesday.

Here are 50 hot takes for the Philly sports fan.

In the news, tonight’s Mega Millions jackpot is at $970 million.

The Electric Factory is now called the Franklin Music Hall. It’ll always be the Electric Factory.

Power Ranks: Week 1

A really shitty week in the NFL coincided with what was one of the least entertaining and low scoring weekends in fantasy, ever. Yes, I know there four of you that scored over 100, but the fact that we had THREE players score in the 50′s and a winner with 64 should tell you everything about this weekend. Other than Chris, who’s team went nuts, nobody that was at Anthony’s this weekend enjoyed watching their own fantasy team. If you think your team is bad, it probably isn’t, and if you think your team is good, it also probably isn’t. It was such a statistical outlier of a week. Only two (TWO, HOLY FUCK think about that for a second) quarterbacks that we actually started this week had more than one passing touchdown. Exactly ONE (!!!) running back in the entire fucking NFL scored more than one rushing touchdown, and it was Gilislee, who Dylan rightfully benched given how little we knew about the Belitricks situation. Only five receivers any of us actually started scored, and only one of them had more than 80 yards on top of the touchdown. Literally all the good tight ends sucked ass. DeMarco Murray played two snaps at Tight End (that’s not bullshit, I sent Dylan and Anthony a tweet about it) and blocked Khalil Mack on both plays. How many more of those until Dyl can start him at TE? I’m ready to move on from this weekend as fast as possible.

Side note: all the Scott themed teams won this week! All of the corny player related pun team names lost.

Reminder: the number I give you doesn’t matter as much as the tier I put you in, I don’t see a big difference between teams in a tier other than small details.

The Little To No Chance of Any Good Waivers tier

1. Rick and Jordy (Chris “David drafted my team” Gatzow) (1-0) (LW:1)

So, as I thought, your team is good. You’re not going to get two pick sixes out of your defense every week, but your team should’ve scored more. Cooper dropped multiple touchdowns, and Howard dropped what might’ve been a touchdown. Nobody on your team really disappointed though, and that shows the 90 point floor you’ll have every week. I’d be worried about Cohen stealing all of the points from Howard, but either way your team is fine.

2. Aegon Targaryen M’FVCKA (Alex “typing out your team name is a bitch pls change it” Ahn) (1-0) (LW: 3)

I’m gonna beat the Matt Ryan Regression drum till I die this season. Take away the super fluky 88 yard Hooper touchdown, and he had less than ten fantasy points. Carr, however, looked good. He should’ve had more touchdowns as I said in Chris’s section. Elliott playing all year gives you a big boost, I really almost put you #1 but Jeffery looked bad amidst a good Carson Wentz day, and I’m worried about Jimmy Graham, not because he’s bad but because Seattle’s offense looks bad. You have a bunch of intriguing boom or bust yearlong guys (Decker, Williams, Bennett, Carson) and I think at least one of them turns into a viable flex.

The “my team is good but also fucking terrible” tier

3. Scott’s Balls (Anthony “lutz wasnt good enough to win you 20 dollars bitch” Mendola) (1-0) (LW: 7)

I’m moving you up a bit just because I think while you had the best case Hunt scenario, you also had the worst case Bell and Gronk situation. Your lack of a receiver still really pisses me off for some reason, way more than I think it should. I’m not a Cam believer this season, but your runningbacks and Gronk might make any other position irrelevant. I feel the same way about your team’s floor as I do about mine and Chris’s teams, but the lack of receiver puts you down here. You even dropped Mahvin JONES.

4. Scott’s Penis (David “three and 0 against alec week one baby) Chinchilla) (1-0) (LW: 4)

I feel really dirty putting myself amongst these teams because I really didn’t play well. Here’s the only reason I think I deserve to be up here: I got tremendously unlucky to not score more, my players have clear defined floors, and I didn’t have Ajayi. Game script took Carlos Hyde out of the game early, and he still got 8 points on like 15 total touches. The Bills somehow didn’t give McCoy the ball one time inside the five yard line, where all three of their scores came. Reed had 8 targets, Allen and Garcon had 10. I just think my floor is high because of opportunities. If I can go 2-3 while Andrew Luck heals up, watch the fuck out because I’d finally have a quarterback.

5. Fournette About It (Jack “lost by how much Derek Fisher had on the clock against the spurs that one time” Cleek) (0-1) (LW:10)

You lost, but your team impressed me a lot! I still need to see a few more weeks of consistency from your rookie runningbacks, but so far so good. Hopkins still worries me, especially now that Watson is the QB. It’s a strange, weird fact, but the success rate of wide receivers with rookie quarterbacks is staggeringly low. Beshoy pointed out to me that the last good one was Steve Smith during Cam’s rookie year. Luckily, you have Diggs to plug in, but he’s another guy I need to see do it over an extended period of time before I believe it after last year’s late season collapse. I probably should’ve ranked you higher this week, but let’s make this week a prove it week for you.

6. Beshoy and Some Backups (Beshoy “the earth is crumbling beneath your feet” Halim) (0-1) (LW: 2)

The nickname was a bit much, but I don’t feel nearly as good about your team as I did when I originally wrote rankings, since back then we still didn’t know Zeke was gonna play week 1. You had the worst possible scenario happen with your team last week. Rodgers had an awful match up, Abdullah wasn’t thrown to, Pryor was both a victim of his own bitchassness and Cousins playing bad, and the Henngod let you down (Which upset me, I’m his biggest fan). I still think this is one of the better teams, Rodgers - Gordon - Evans will always keep you competitive, but until someone else emerges I’m skeptical. You were really dependent on McFadden, but Adam Thielen might save the season. You always lose week 1 anyways, this meant nothing.

7. Don’t Trust a Youngerhoe (Dylan “younghoe was your fault” Jessop) (0-1) (LW:6)

Obviously it’s one week, and you only scored like three less than I did, but the Cousins regression tour seems to be happening already. He’s the only guy I really don’t believe in on the team, as pretty much everyone had an average game, including your tight end, DeMarco Murray. You were another one of the teams that was unlucky to not score more, and I think you’re gonna be just fine. Is it weird that I love your team’s floor but don’t think it has much upside?

The sleeping giant tier

8. Hammer (Tony “shockingly quiet this weekend” Mendola) (0-1) (LW: 5)

Tony lost twice this weekend, once to Chris and once to Beshoy for the #1 waiver. We should see bounce backs from pretty much your entire team, but there were some things I saw that really concerned me. Brady looked old as hell. Freeman may be a victim of the Falcons offense not being nearly as good as last season. Ted Ginn is your WR2. TY Hilton looks awful without Luck, and Fitzgerald is your only viable flex option right now. Morris is useless because Elliott is back, Murray got dunked on by Dalvin Cook, and Jamaal Charles fumbled. It was the worst case scenario, I know, but for the first time in my life, I’m not 100% sure tony’s fantasy magic touch can fix this.

The “thank you for being wrong about my ranking :)” tier

9. Mixon It Up (Alec “thank you for being wrong about my ranking :)” Bernstein) (0-1) (LW: 8)

sup lil BITCH (PS: DYLAN IS THE ORACLE)

10. Scott’s Jizz (Scott “cursed” Felgenhauer) (1-0) (LW: 10)

Scott I really don’t know what to tell you my guy. Every single fucking year, this shit happens to you. The worst part about it is that you somehow won, which means no good waiver, and aside from David Johnson I really didn’t like your team to begin with. You now NEED Dak to Dez to be the best fantasy pairing this year, Thomas to replicate last year, and Kelce to be the number one tight end again, and then have ZERO points from running backs. I’m not sure what you do here, you may need to make a trade.

PICKS

*your power rank doesn’t determine who I choose to win, matchups do

Fournette About it (Jack)(0-1) over Scott’s Penis (David) (1-0)

Scott’s Balls (Anthony) (1-0) over Hammer (Tony) (0-1)

Aegon Targaryen M’FVCKA (Alex) (1-0) over don’t trust a younghoe (Dylan) (0-1)

- Both of your matchups are wild, but Alex’s are wilder

Rick and Jordy (Chris) (1-0) over Beshoy and some backups and Tarik Cohen (0-1)

Mixon It Up (Alec) (0-1) over Scott’s Jizz (1-0)

LAST WEEK: 2-3

GOOD LUCK BOYS

Migos - Culture

Offset was the Migos that I was most excited about going into Culture. While he had the obvious hit in Bad and Boujee, which made sure that everyone knew that he was a force to be reckoned with, it felt for the past year that he had been building towards becoming the main guy in Migos. From having a similarly impressive verse on the group's remix of Look Alive, to becoming a must have feature and working with guys such as Young Thug, Lil Yachty and Lil Uzi Vert, over the past year Offset has really been making a name for himself.

While it may have been due to the fact that he was in jail for part of the project's recording, Offset really doesn't have that strong of a presence on this release. Despite being on 12 of the project's 13 tracks, it's really only Bad and Boujee and Brown Paper Bag where I sit up and take notice of Offset. Perhaps I'm just being ignorant throughout my first two weeks of listening to this project, but after roughly 15 listens I'm still barely taking notice of the group’s most technical rapper.

Perhaps it was due to his heavy reliance on auto-tune on this record, which takes away some of his amateurish charm and dope triplet heavy delivery, but I really think Offset was a clear third best on this record, as his Migos family absolutely demolished him.

Quavo, also known by most of the general public as Migos, has always been the star of the group, which with his features on hits like Minnesota and Pick Up The Phone, and hooks on most of the group's most popular tracks such as Versace, T-Shirt and Handsome and Wealthy, should not be a surprise.

Perhaps the simplest reason he is most notable is that Quavo is the loudest member of Migos, in both personality and actual volume. Quavo has a larger than life presence and it heavily comes across in his music in a way that reminds me of the guys from Rae Sremmurd, especially fellow hook aficionado Swae Lee.

Quavo also takes himself the least seriously of almost any rapper out at the moment, and uses this to craft a whole bunch of fun lines that only he could get away with. While I should perhaps use an example from Culture, the most Quavo verse of all time is his contribution to Lil Yachty's Minnesota, where he has one of the hypest verses of last year proclaiming his love for his Motorola.

Quavo may not be the best rapper out at the moment, but he is definitely one of the most likeable, which makes him work so well as the spiritual leader of Migos. When you listen to a Migos project like Culture, one of the most compelling things is how much fun the group seems to be having while recording, which includes them having perhaps the most adlibs of any group in history. Apart from the rapping ability, it's this fun atmosphere that really separates Migos from the rest of the trap pack. This I believe can fairly be attributed to Quavo.

Takeoff is the unknown to the casual fan, however the more I listen to Migos projects the more I feel he is their backbone, as his hoarse, deep and energetic style brings to life a lot of the group’s quieter moments. If Quavo is the QB and Offset is the young athletic WR, Takeoff is the group's workhorse running back, getting the group the hard yards and making the case for being their most important member.

There's usually a pattern of Migos releases where Takeoff will be subdued on the project's hit singles, which for the longest time would be all anyone would listen to, then when you get to your full listen of their mixtape/album you realize that he is holding them up.

The same thing happens to an extent on Culture, as he isn't on Bad and Boujee and his role on T-Shirt is outshined by frequent outshiner Quavo. Yet for the rest of this album Takeoff is the MVP. The clearest example is his absolutely stunning verse on the track Deadz, which is one of the album’s high points. Takeoff's energetic rapping sits perfectly on the epic sounding Cardo beat, as the beat shifts by bringing in a ghostly synth that perfectly matches the occasion of Takeoff's album stealing verse.

Speaking of Deadz, I guess that's as good a segue as any to discuss how on point all of the features on this release are. While a solid defining release still escapes him, 2 Chainz is rightly recognized for his ability to slay a feature and I think his verse here may be one of his strongest to date. The opening lines “Gang bang slang 'caine/Heroin, half a ton, Purple Haze, Cam'ron/Plays off a Samsung, get the job done” is one of the hardest hitting openings to a verse in recent memory. While the rest of the verse is average guest appearance 2 Chainz, everything from the 2 Chainz adlib to the “get the job done” lyric is gold, and does a great job building hype for the ensuing Takeoff verse.

The other two new features on this release, Gucci Mane and Travis Scott, are expectedly dope and do a great job making sure the constant Migos verses don't start feeling monotonous. It's that freshness that on my first few listens really made Slippery and Kelly Price such memorable tracks, as it took a while for some of the other songs to stand out on their own.

There's also the critically maligned Lil Uzi Vert verse on Bad and Boujee, which is, fuck what anyone else thinks, really good. While a lot of people wanted Bad and Boujee to be somewhat of a rapper's rap classic, Uzi came in with an ignorant hype as fuck verse. While it's incredibly corny and has nothing that you'd describe as traditionally good from a rapping point of view, it fits the track perfectly and you can't help but rap along as Uzi spits one of the simplest verses of the year.

Overall the final product on Culture is absolutely phenomenal and one of the best trap albums that I've heard period. The Migos are all incredible rappers who brought their A game to their breakout momentous release and the cast of producers all did a great job at making an array of memorable hard hitting beats. This is an album that I'll be playing all year as it has barely a dull moment and is nothing but non stop head banging hard hitting trap classics.

Some comments by me that I've shared across the web where I'm taking a new approach in trying to end the world...

Here (below) are some comments I have shared on Instagram, on Daily Mail articles, and Page Six articles. The comments are where I am acting like I think it is okay and the stuff is okay here. My goal with the comments is to be corny and fake and phoney but seem I could pass as real and okay.

Comments I happen to have left on the cliptray on my phone from the padt couple of days follow.

[Comment I put on a post on Instagram by Elsa Pataky]

Who wouldn't want Elsa Pataky???!!! Fitness and flirtiness and bad assedness PERSONIFIED!!! You go GURL!!! All the bad guys, you better WATCH OUT!!! That gurl KICKS SLEAZE OF THE EARTH'S BUTT!!! LOL!!! LMFAO!!! Seriously, you make the world a better place just by being SO BADASS… AND MULTIFACETED!!!! You can do anything, especially be who you are like no other -- that's why you deserve the spotlight (and others not - LOL)!!!

[Comment I put on a post on Instagram by Chris Hemsworth about his new docuseries Limitless.]

These experts are such geniuses! The multitudes of us little people of this mysterious and amazing world are lucky to have these gems among us! This is truly a night among the stars for you, Chris! Usually you are among a different kind of cream of the crop specimen with all of your big movie premieres and red carpet events! Tonight, though, you are among the true cream of the crop! For who would we be if not these winners rose above the fray?! Other contributions we can do without, such as those of singers or sketch artists, but not of these true specimens of genius! Thanks for your work and continued focus on what really matters, which is keeping people alive, even the little people! Entertainment comes second after that, of course! OMG! Because of this and other things you do, Chris, you're the best -- I mean SECOND BEST!!! LOL!!!

[Comment I put on an Instagram post by Tom Brady about him reuniting with a few of his teammates from the Patriots for a movie he has coming out in February called 80 for Brady.]

So worth it to come back together for this epic movie showing even old ladies are gaga for a old BUT sternly disciplined QB!!! Discipline will get you EVERYWHERE! The lengendary Gisele knows, everybody knows!!! It'll save ya from losing, WHICH COMES NATURALLY with Old Age, but Tom hasn't found out yet cuz he doesn't eat tomatoes and probably gets up with the birds!!! He'd prolly rip his own arm off to win, unlike weaklings who can't do anything worthwhile!!! LOL!!! LMFAO!!!

------

[Comment on an Instafram post by Elsa Pataky sharing about Chris Hemsworth's docuseries Limitless.]

No way I'm gonna miss it!!! How could someone not watch THIS masterpiece where Chris is giving so much of himself to save mankind from the REAL threats they face!!! So much for the fake trials and tribulations vying for people's attention! Chris hit at the heart with this work of art! So long fakeness and insincerity!!! Hello REALNESS and a REAL MAN facing what ails us and being mankind's real life super hero!

------

[A comment on an Instagram post about some celebrity couple, maybe Ryan Gossling and Eva Mendes or Pierce Brosnan and hus wife.]

A love so TRUE! I can see it in this photo and others. Celebrities are passionate people and true winners, so their love brings the 🔥🔥🔥!!! False things fall away in the face of their love and the world is left with truth standing tall. This and other couples make the world a better place because where there is love there is mercy. The world stands as a merciful place for all its TRUE love.

--------

[A comment on a Daily Mail article about Chris Hemsworth saying he would take time off from acting to be with his family after getting news that he had a gene in his DNA where he had a high chance of developing Alzheimer's later in life.]

The TRUTH is I am so glad to hear this beautiful family will be spending more time together. I am so affected by this news. FAMILY is EVERYTHING. There being so many beautiful FAMILIES in the world makes this world what it is: so warm and AMAZING! It is HEAVEN on earth with so much TRUE LOVE in the world. Honestly, I'm tickled, TOTALLY delighted to hear this! It is AWESOME!!! Excited to see what blossoms from this love fest/hiatus!!!

-------

[A comment on a Daily Mail article about Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky going for a walk in New York.]

I just LOVE this couple! I'm so affected by truthful things in this world of ILLUSIONS! Chris and Elsa seem SO COMPATIBLE and have so much CHEMISTRY!!! There's no way theirs is not TRUE LOVE!!! What does true love look like? It looks like this couple, that's what! I was SO DISAPPOINTED I didn't see them together in photos from the premieres for two different MAJOR projects they had. Surely they were not together because of conflicting schedules because this couple would survive a nuclear explosion!!! LOL! 100 percent PURE LOVE!!!

--------

[A comment on an Instagram post about celebs Gwyneth Paltrow, Jada Pinket and Kristin Bell and how they talk to their kids about sex.]

They don't wanna hide the TRUTH from their little ones, which is that people be doing naughty things in this world all around us, but behind closed doors! This world is full of people who get busy and everybody knows because there's NO WAY it's not happening with all the babies being born!!! Babies don't just come from nowhere, but people naturally don't wanna spill the beans about their (semi) PRIVATE lives! Or maybe they DO want to spill the beans because it's so tempting to tell THE WHOLE TRUTH!!!!

--------

[A comment on an Instagram post bout Lily Rose Depp saying she didn't want to comment on her dad Johnny Depp's trial where Amber Heard accused him of abuse or something like that.]

Who among us wouldn't want to be PRIVATE!! It's the TRULY the way of humankind! She doesn't owe any kind of explanation to ANYBODY!!! Humankind has SCIENCE and RESEARCH and the occassional TELL ALL book to learn about life and people from, assuring that we lose NOT from our propensity to stay TIGHT LIPPED about who we REALLY ARE!!! Long live PRIVACY and the infamously private HUMAN RACE!!!

-------

[My comment on an Instagram post sharing a photo of a boy accompanied with a caption sharing a story about how the boy had escaped a woman following him after he pretended another woman on the street was his mom.]

SMART BOY!! He knows the TRUTH, which sadly is that some people are NOT so nice! Children are so innocent and yet also in some ways like miniature adults with their SHARP awareness of things around them. They are a MIRACLE! I hope that woman PAID the price for her actions!

---------

[A comment I shared on a Daily Mail article on a sighting of Gisele Bündchen in New York going to the airport.]

I wish she would return to posting to social media. I miss her wisdom and positivity. She has so many interesting things to say!

-----------

[A comment on an Instagram post by Tom Brady about a shirt in his apparel line called Gummy stretch or something like that. His daughter Vivi was somewhat included in the post asking a question about the shirt.]

She's so CUTE!!! Nine year olds know TOO MUCH for comfort!!! It's like they're not TRULY children at all, but are MINIATURE ADULTS all along!!! LOL!!! LMFAO!!! And you treat her SO TENDERLY!!! I can tell it's TRUE love!!! How could anyone not love HER??!! OMG!!! And what a cute NICKNAME!!! I'm so affected by this POST and the TRUE LOVE between a dad and his GIRLY GIRL!!!

---------

[A comment I put on an Instagram post about a celebrity couple. I can't remember which couple now.]

I know it when I see it: TRUE love. Their love is young, yet it is TRUE! Theirs will stand the test of time, like so many cases of celebrity love, I can tell already! Celebrity love brings the 🔥🔥🔥! It is between those who rise above the fray and make a name for themselves, those for whom smallness is not meant! Only big things for those with big dreams! It's a VIBE!

-------------

[A comment I put on an Instagram post about the granddaughter of Joe Biden getting married at the White House.]

A White House wedding: Not just for anyone but those who are quite exceptional. There is but one life. Best to live it exceptionally well like these two, Naomi and Neal. They do not fade into the masses and mulititudes. They rise above and go on into infinity. May their TRUE love last as long as The White House and the noteworthy presence of this couple, which could not fade into the nameless, faceless lowly multitudes! I'm sure this nature of an event moved the surely QUALITY people in attendence!

----------

[A comment on an Instagram post by a seemingly semi famous or famous guy saying he crashed his pregnant partner's baby shower.]

Of course he couldn't stay away from her for even a moment!!! LOL!!! They can't keep away from each other!!! Such a 🔥 couple, especially with her preggo!!! OMG!! I am so AFFECTED by seeing this REAL love!!! May your TRUE LOVE endure the days, weeks, years… the end of the world!!!

---------

[Another comment I put on a different post on Instagram about Lily Rose Depp saying something like that the media focuses on who she dates rather than her work. I can't remember for sure what the post said, but I think it was something like this.]

She can really WORK IT on the runway. I wonder why the media NEVER writes about THAT and the kind of GENIUS it takes for a model to DO WHAT THEY DO!!! Not just anyone has the discipline to LOOK like a model or BADASSEDNESS to slay on the RUNWAY!!! Who wouldn't want Lily Rose Depp, but she is also showing so much PROMISE on the catwalk! Read 'em and weep losers who don't deserve the SPOTLIGHT on them like Lily Rose Depp!!! OMG!!! No way she's not BIG NEWS other than for what lucky guy she dates!!!

-----------

[A comment I left on a post by Tom Brady sharing a trailer for his movie coming out in February called 80 for Brady.]

This looks HILARIOUS and incredibly CUTE!!! How can anyone resist lining up for seats TODAY!!! You are so HOT, not even undesirable old ladies can resist, so I'm sure this movie is right ON POINT!!! This movie is perfect for showing even old ladies are COOL to Old Brady! Old ladies AIN'T NO joke!!! Neither is a old a*s QB!!! LOL!!! SMH!!! LMFAO!!!

----------

[A comment I left on a Page Six article about Tia or Tamara Mowry telling why she filed for divorce from her husband. She said she had an awakening where she realized she should not be so focused on doing for others instead of herself, something like that she said.]

Everyone knows selflessness is at the heart of being a good person: doing for others. But one must have self love, also. Mowry has looked within and found the truth: She had a true awakening by focusing FOR A MOMENT on herself! How could it be any other way! Each thing has its place! Selflessness comes first, but there is also room for self love and self focus SOMEWHERE in the mix!!! But focusing too much on one's self is a concern, so only a MOMENT can be spared, of course! Sounds like she truly had true love, but it couldn't endure her moment of introspection! LOL!!!

--------

[A comment I left on a Page Six article about Leonardo DiCaprio and Gigi Hadid leaving the same restaurant within minutes of each other.]

They are SO dating! She is just his type: Young and celebrity! (And who wouldn't want Gigi Hadid!) He is JUST RIGHT for her: Heartthrob and celebrity! Of course Page Six and other news outlets wouldn't fudge on this topic of whether these two are dating! Why would they??? There's no reason to! Nothing but the truth is their game! So there it is: Leo and Gigi are an ITEM! Read 'em and weep, ZANE! There's no way they're not dating! I'm CONVINCED by the ALL THE PHOTOS that are CLEAR AS DAY! OMG! Can't wait for their next DATE, which will surely be reported! SHE IS THE ONE TO PUT HIS WOMANIZING WAYS TO BED, LITERALLY! LOL!!!

hear me out, how about a fic where qb!topper and the reader going to prom!!!

prom

pairing: qb!topper x kook!reader

word count: 2.6k

warning(s): fluff, underage drinking, teeny bit suggestive, swearing

a/n: i loved writing this, and i hope you enjoy it :)

topper thornton masterlist

Formal events were no stranger to you, growing up basically on a pageant stage. Not to mention the countless dinners you accompanied your parents to. Being an only child, you pretty much had been shaped into the Y/l/n family show pony.

Topper wasn’t phased nor intimidated by that fact either. He had been fully aware of the situation he was getting into with you, and it hadn’t stopped him one bit. You on the other hand, still felt funny about traditional couple things like this one.

Spending so many years being best friends with Topper, you knew he was aware of your feelings on these things. In the past you hadn’t had a real boyfriend let alone a genuine prom date. Your parents had pricked and pried into your personal life, which is what brought you and Brett together.

Seeing as how he was the only prom experience you had, you weren’t sure if it was the person that had tainted the night or if prom simply wasn’t what it was cracked up to be. At your junior prom with Brett, he had so many girls lined up to dance with him you lost count, and it wasn’t like he rejected them.

You ended up leaving shortly after you arrived, ditching the fancy dress to go skinny dipping with Topper. Those kinds of spontaneous experiences are the ones you lived and breathed for. Not the sappy pictures and lurking chaperones while you danced in a humid, poorly decorated gymnasium.

However, you would hate to be the damper on Topper’s senior prom experience, and you wanted to suck up your displaced feelings about it and go for him. Since you couldn’t really express your thoughts to him about this stuff like you normally would in a predicament, you vented to the next best thing. Kourtney.

“Are you excited for prom? Now that you have a real boyfriend and stuff.” She asked you, the two of you laying around in your bedroom with nothing better to do.

You sighed, but figuring this conversation would come up eventually. “I mean hypothetically if I didn’t go, what would I be missing out on?”

“Y/n!” She groaned dramatically, “Don’t do this. Senior prom is like, gonna be one of your best high school memories ever. There’s no way you CAN’T go.”

“The hell with high school memories, Kourt. You know I don’t believe in that stuff.”

“But Topper does.” She reminded you.

“Exactly. I don’t want to let him down but I also don’t want to have to fake it, you know? The corny promposals and stuff, it’s just not for me.” You thought for a few moments about him, before realizing Topper was supposed to come over for lunch as Kourtney was about to leave. And he had.

Topper got to your place a little early in fact, letting himself in but pausing his movements at your bedroom door when he heard his name mentioned. As soon as your conversation with Kourtney died down, he gently knocked on your door before opening it. “You ready for lunch, my love?”

Despite the pet name, he looked a little bit uptight and his voice sounded forced. “Well, I’ll leave you two alone then. I’ll talk to you later, Y/n. Bye, Topper.” Kourtney acknowledged you both, making a speedy exit before she had to take part in the awkward silence that was to come.

Although neither of you were going to voice it, the both of you knew Topper had heard the conversation just minutes prior. Lunch was, as predicted, awkwardly silent. Topper was the first one to break it, figuring it was best to get the conversation out of the way sooner rather than later. “So.... you don’t wanna go to the prom?”

You took a sip of your water before answering. “That’s not what I said, Top.”

“Stop playing games. I heard everything you said so you might as well fucking own it now.”

“What do you want me to say?”

Topper sighed in exasperation. “You know what, nothing. I’m not forcing you to do anything, so this one’s on you, Y/n.”

The sound of your first name brought your eyes up to look at him. He rarely called you by your first name, and the thought of fighting with your boyfriend sent a pit to your stomach. He harshly grabbed his keys from the counter, eager to leave. “Top, I want to go to the prom with you. Of course I do. You’re blowing this out of proportion.”

“Since when do we lie to each other, Y/n?” He paused before continuing. “I couldn’t even tell by the way you’re tapping your foot aggressively or the way you’re stabbing the shit out of that salad with the fork that you’re lying to me.” He remarked sarcastically.

“I said I’ll go, what more do you want me to say?” You exclaimed.

“Y/n, I haven’t even asked you yet!” He emphasized. “But you’re so worried about stepping out of your comfort zone that you haven’t even given me a second thought. But I sure as hell wouldn’t want you to be faking it with me. And honestly, I don’t even want to go anymore. Enjoy your lunch.”

Before you could protest, Topper was out the door and pulling out of your driveway. The pit in your stomach only grew bigger as you soaked in more of his words. He was right. Plus the lack of communication really didn’t help your situation at all. That never was a problem in your relationship before, so that’s why it left you uneasy.

The next few days between you and Topper were like no other. Complete silence on your rides to and from school, him avoiding you or blowing you off for his friends. All while other girls received cute promposals from their boyfriends, you were getting the cold shoulder from yours.

“Y/n! Guess who just got asked!” Kourtney chirped, bouquet of red roses in her hand.

“Hmm, that’s a tough one.” You retorted.

Kourtney scoffed. “Why the attitude, lil mama? Has Topper not asked you yet?”

“Not one word about it.”

“Well, you could always ask him. It’s pretty obvious things are off between you two, maybe he needs a little encouragement.” She suggested.

“Not your worst idea.” You pondered before continuing, “Congrats on the promposal by the way. I gotta go take things into my own hands.”

By that Thursday afternoon, you were completely fed up with his childish pouting. Which is what brought you to the point of banging on his front door, his car being the only one in the Thornton driveway. “Topper! Open the damn door! I know you’re in there!”

Your persistent assault on the poor door continued, until Topper eventually opened it with an annoyed expression on his face. He motioned for you to come in, his arm stiff. “What’s the matter?”

“We need to talk.” You faced him, arms crossed against your chest.

“It better be good, since you nearly busted down my door and all.”

“Haha, Topper, very funny. I hope you’ve gotten all of your sarcastic remarks out of the way for the week because I’m trying to be serious with you.”

“Take it away, I guess.” He settled, ready to listen to you.

“I’m sorry for making you upset about what I said about the prom. It’s not you, it’s a me problem and I shouldn’t have taken you for granted. Because Topper, you are everything I’ve dreamed of and more and now I know there’s nothing I’d love more than to go to prom with you.” You took a breath after your rambling, looking up at him to read his reaction.

He gazed at you blankly for a few moments, before his lips hovered over yours and pressed a sweet kiss to them. “That was quicker than I thought.” You muttered, voice barely above a whisper.

“What was quicker?” He asked you.

“You to forgive me. I thought I’d at least have to make some apology brownies.”

He quirked an eyebrow teasingly. “Who said I forgave you? And it’s not too late for some apology brownies, you know.” You rolled your eyes and walked away, him following you to his kitchen.

The both of you started the brownie-making process. And by both of you, basically you mixing the batter while Topper hugged you from behind and looked over your shoulder, kissing your neck sloppily here and there. You decided it couldn’t hurt to do a little something extra, given the fact that your boyfriend hadn’t put out a definitive answer on the upcoming event.

So, you made Topper close his eyes and with the light coat of brownie batter still covering the mixing bowl, you took your finger and spelled out ‘PROM?’ as best as you could. “Okay, you can open them. Tadaaaaa!” You cheered, holding the bowl out for him to see.

He chuckled at your foolish promposal before giving you the answer you were looking for. “Yes, baby. I’ll go with you. Even after the lonely week I just had without my Y/n/n.”

“Hey! That was your choice to ignore me, not my fault.”

“Whatever, pumpkin. Let’s move on. Truce?” He tried to reason. Just before you were about to respond, he quickly took a dip of his finger in the leftover batter bowl and swiped your cheek with the brown mix.

You gasped and returned the favor, happy to have your boy back. “Truce.”

The following week, your relationship was finally intact again and now you could be excited about the prom festivities. Some girls you knew had shopped for the perfect dress months in advance, but all you really had to do was peek into your closet.

Over the years brands had sent you new dresses and you never really wore them unless you had to. But now was the time to rummage through your selection, and surprisingly you were overjoyed to get dressed up for a night. Topper was as well, wearing a noticeable grin on his face that wasn’t there the previous week.

“So what’d you do for Y/n?” Cody asked him. He chuckled while thinking about it.

“It’s a long story, man.”

“So? We have plenty of time.” Cody gestured to the empty weight room.

“Well, at first she didn’t wanna go so I called off the whole promposal thing. But then she changed her mind and asked me to go with her.”

“Wait- Your girl asked YOU to the prom?” Cody questioned, a bit appalled at Topper’s confession.

“Yeah, what about it?”

“Nothing.” Cody shook his head and held his arms up in surrender. “You’re just a huge simp, dude.”

“Man, you don’t even have a prom date. Go kick some rocks or something.”

The night of prom arrived swiftly, it was less than an hour before Topper would pick you up. Kourtney had invited herself over to get ready with you, in an attempt to calm her own excitement. “I’m so fucking glad you decided to go, Y/n/n. It really wouldn’t be the same with me getting ready all by my lonesome.” She frowned.

“You would’ve been fine either way. But yeah, me too. Who would’ve thought, right?”

“The dick must be good, huh? To sway your decision like that.” She suggested nonchalantly. You paused your movements, feeling heat rise to your face as you tried to detract her attention from the subject of your sex life.

“Have you ever heard of love or compromise, Kourtney? I mean, damn.”

She giggled. “Well, I don’t see you denying it, bitch.” You only smirked to yourself. Shimmying into your dress, you examined yourself in the full body mirror, smoothing out any kinks in the fabric. “Topper’s gonna drop to the floor, girl. You look delicious.” She teased.

“Thanks, Kourt. So do you, I bet you have men bowing at your feet.”

“I wish.” She sighed, “I’m stuck with Dylan tonight.”

“Cheer up, baby cakes. You’ll find the right one.”

“Don’t even bother comparing your standards to mine, okay. Nobody will ever look at me the way Topper looks at you.” She grumbled. “Face it, Y/n. You’re stuck with a fairytale love story that the rest of us are jealous of.”

As she finished, the doorbell rang through your large house. “That must be the guys.” You smiled, looking out of your window to see Topper’s car in your driveway. Dylan’s was there too, but what did you care? Tonight was about you and Topper.

“There she is!” Topper hollered as you made your way carefully down the wooden staircase. “You look ravishing.” He stated, taking in your breathtaking appearance.

“Thank you, baby. I could say the same about you.” You smiled, smoothing the lapels of his suit jacket. He blushed lightly at your comment.

“Here, you didn’t think I would forget the corsage did you?” Topper handed you the clear box.

“This is so corny. You’re lucky I’m in love with you.” You told him through laughter, pinning the small flower to his suit jacket.

Your attention averted to the shutter of a camera, your mother playing photographer tonight. “I have to admit, you both clean up nicely.” The woman smiled at her daughter, despite the bickering almost constantly between the two.

“Thanks, Mom. I’ll see you in the morning? I’m sleeping over at Topper’s.” You explained before returning the smile and rushing out the door with your boyfriend dragging behind.

“Wait! One more picture, please.” She shouted from behind you, before you gave in and posed one last time for her. The cliché corsage topped it off really, would it be a prom photo without one?

The night was magical, far more than you had ever anticipated at first. Glad you went didn’t even begin to describe it. Soon enough prom king and queen were to be announced. You hadn’t even thought you and Topper would win, considering Brett had probably weaseled his way into hacking the system and making sure he won king.

“As co-president of the student council here at Kildare Academy, I am happy to crown this year’s prom king and queen. Please put your hands together for..... Topper Thornton and Y/n Y/l/n!”

Applause rang through the room, a few hollers here and there from your friends. You and Topper shared a jubilant expression, smiling at one another before walking up in front of the school. They placed gold crowns on each of your heads, and you both waved in gratitude towards your fellow peers.

As they directed you both to the dance floor, you knew it was time for the prom king and queen to dance, which you obliged to. A slow song came on, and you couldn’t help but admire your handsome boyfriend under the lights as the both of you swayed back and forth. He caught your stare of course, asking you, “What’s on your mind, angel?”

“You are. I love you.” You smiled, kissing his chin softly.

“I love you too, my queen.” He pulled you impossibly closer and cupped your face, pressing his lips to yours passionately. A few hoots and hollers were heard from around you, making you hide your face in the crook of Topper’s neck. You giggled at his sudden show for PDA. He was always touchy with you, but you guys kept public makeouts to a minimum.

“Someone definitely spiked the punch.”

“I think so. I may be just a liiiiitttleeee bit tipsy.” He exaggerated.

“I kinda love proms now. Maybe we can crash some in the future.” You added, just as tipsy as your boyfriend, and luckily that’s all you were. Because you surely wanted to remember this in the morning. Maybe it wasn’t the place that would dictate your good time. It was the person, and Topper was it for you. “We’ll be like wedding crashers. But for proms.”

He chuckled. “To prom crashers?”

“To prom crashers.”

Your Friday Morning Roundup

So the Sixers looked how we wanted them to look on Tuesday: dominant.

Ben Simmons recorded a triple-double with two and a half minutes left in the third quarter while Joel Embiid racked up 30 points in a 127-108 win over the Chicago Bulls in their home opener.

Maybe that will help later in the season. The form does look better, but maybe more reps will mean a much more improved Fultz.

Up next is a Saturday night tilt against the Magic at home. Tip-off is at 7:30 PM on NBC Sports Philadelphia.

In other Sixers news, the team will plan to discuss T.J. McConnell’s future at the end of the season.

With the announcement of the G-League’s alternative for one-and-done guys, the 2021 Miami first round draft pick has already lost value.

The team is also continuing the free Frosty promotion, but with new tiers as well

NBC Sports Philadelphia is also launching a new Sixers show.

The Roundup:

The Flyers also played last night, but lost to the Columbus Blue Jackets 6-3. Travis Konecny, Sean Couturier, and Oskar Lindblom were the Flyers goal scorers.

The team led 2-1 after one, but the Blue Jackets went on a three-goal outburst, including two from Cam Atkinson, to pretty much seal the deal.

Anthony Duclair may have provided us with an early goal of the year nominee in the first period:

They’re back in action Saturday afternoon against the New Jersey Devils at 1 PM on NBC Sports Philadelphia.

As Sunday comes closer, the Eagles are getting a little healthier on the injury front:

#Eagles Thursday Injury Report

DNP: LB Alexander (quadricep), CB Douglas (not injury related), LB Gerry (ankle, knee), S Graham (hamstring), CB Jones (hamstring), RB Sproles (hamstring)

Limited: T Johnson (ankle), CB Mills (hamstring), DT Ngata (calf)

— Philadelphia Eagles (@Eagles) October 18, 2018

Full: DE Barnett (shoulder), T Peters (biceps), QB Wentz (back)

— Philadelphia Eagles (@Eagles) October 18, 2018

As I mentioned in yesterday’s Roundup, Douglas lost his grandmother but should be good to go for Sunday.

Isaac Seumalo is starting to settle in as a starter.

“Game day is not a time to think. You’ve just got to go out and play.”

How is the team’s salary cap situation for 2019?

In other sports news, the Boston Red Sox are going to the World Series after beating the Houston Astros in Game 5 of the ALCS.

Cowboys wide receiver Terrance Williams was suspended three games for substance abuse.

Von Miller and the Broncos kicked the Cardinals’ ass last night.

The popular high school and college basketball site “City of Basketball Love” ended after six years of operations in a tweet sent out on Tuesday.

Here are 50 hot takes for the Philly sports fan.

In the news, tonight’s Mega Millions jackpot is at $970 million.

Maybe that will help later in the season. The form does look better, but maybe more reps will mean a much more improved Fultz.

Up next is a Saturday night tilt against the Magic at home. Tip-off is at 7:30 PM on NBC Sports Philadelphia.

In other Sixers news, the team will plan to discuss T.J. McConnell’s future at the end of the season.

With the announcement of the G-League’s alternative for one-and-done guys, the 2021 Miami first round draft pick has already lost value.

The team is also continuing the free Frosty promotion, but with new tiers as well

NBC Sports Philadelphia is also launching a new Sixers show.

The Roundup:

The Flyers also played last night, but lost to the Columbus Blue Jackets 6-3. Travis Konecny, Sean Couturier, and Oskar Lindblom were the Flyers goal scorers.

The team led 2-1 after one, but the Blue Jackets went on a three-goal outburst, including two from Cam Atkinson, to pretty much seal the deal.

Anthony Duclair may have provided us with an early goal of the year nominee in the first period:

9 surprises from NFL Week 6 that we never saw coming

Not even Tony Romo could predict everything that happened this week.

Tony Romo has reinvented himself this year as our favorite NFL analyst on TV. When he’s not predicting plays, he’s making corny dad jokes or looking like he’s auditioning for the Dave Seville role in a new Alvin and the Chipmunks cartoon. It’s the perfect second career for him.

But even for all his clairvoyance, not even Romo could have seen everything that happened in Week 6 coming. It was a doozy of a Sunday, for reasons to celebrate, lament, and scratch our heads.

Deshaun Watson is currently the NFL’s leader in TD passes

OK, so Deshaun Watson being an absolute dream to watch in the NFL isn’t surprising to anyone who even half paid attention to college football for the last few years. And Watson already throwing for more touchdown passes than Brock Osweiler did all last season for the Texans isn’t surprising, either. But leading the NFL in touchdowns? Yeah, wasn’t expecting that one after the first six weeks of the season.

After a three-touchdown game against the Browns, Watson’s total is now more than Tom Brady. More than Drew Brees. More than Alex Smith. He tops the league with 15 passing touchdowns (and for good measure, he’s got two more on the ground).

This is probably the time we remind you that the Browns, who have scored 12 touchdown as a team this year, had the chance to draft Watson. Instead, they traded the pick to the Texans.

Aaron Rodgers is probably done for the season

Sometimes, the unpredictability nature of sports is our favorite thing about it. Other times, there are injuries, like a bucket of ice water poured over our souls.

Aaron Rodgers, fresh off ripping the still-beating hearts out of the chest of every Cowboys faithful, took a hard (but legal) hit in the first quarter of the Packers’ game against the Vikings. Anyone who saw the play instinctively knew the bad news that would soon be coming: broken collarbone, could be out for the season.

Rodgers is one of the NFL’s most important players. He’s every superlative you could say about a quarterback. His injury doesn’t just affect the Packers or the NFC North race. It has major implications for the rest of the NFL.

And in true 2017 fashion, it’s something we’ve seen way too much this year:

the 2017 NFL all-injury team has a STACKED OFFENSE: RB: David Johnson WR: Odell Beckham WR: Julian Edelman QB: Aaron Rodgers :(

— Christian D'Andrea (@TrainIsland) October 15, 2017

That list doesn’t even include three-time Defensive Player of the Year J.J. Watt and his underrated teammate Whitney Mercilus, who were both lost for the season a week ago.

Injuries are unavoidable in a sport where large men collide, but man, it sucks royally every time it happens.

Sunday’s biggest underdogs came to play

Whether you gamble on sports or not, well that’s your business. But this week was a reminder why some stay far, far away from putting down any money on NFL games:

There were 3 double-digit underdogs in the NFL this weekend. All were on the road, all covered & 2 won outright (Giants & Dolphins).

— Rick Gosselin (@RickGosselin9) October 16, 2017

The 49ers were the only double-digit road underdogs to lose, but it wasn’t without a fight. Keeping up with their streak of losing by agonizingly close margins — they’ve lost their last five games by a total of 13 points — the 49ers lost 26-24 to Washington.

The weekend’s other big long shots both pulled off major upsets. The Giants looked like a totally different team in their first win of the season, effortlessly taking down the Broncos Sunday night. And the Dolphins came back from a 17-0 deficit to shock the Falcons (and revive the 28-3 jokes just in time for the Falcons’ Week 7 rematch against the Patriots).

The NFL’s final unbeaten team also lost this week at home. The Chiefs fell to 5-1 with a 19-13 loss to the Steelers at Arrowhead Stadium, but that’s hardly a shocker considering the Steelers’ recent history against the Chiefs.

Drew Brees only threw for 186 yards — and the Saints still scored 52 points

Drew Brees is one of the NFL’s most prolific passers ever. He’s closing in on 70,000 career passing yards and only trails Peyton Manning and Brett Favre on the all-time list. He hadn’t thrown for fewer than 200 yards in a game since a date with the Legion of Boom four years ago. Until Sunday against the Lions, that is.

If you saw Brees’ stat line — 186 yards, two touchdowns, two interceptions — it’d be fair to assume the Saints lost. Or maybe even won with a score of, like, 20-17. Instead, they won what was the NFL’s highest-scoring since Brees’ 52-49 duel with Eli Manning two years ago:

From @ESPNStatsInfo -- Saints, Lions combined for most points in any NFL game since Saints' 52-49 win over Giants in 2015.

— Mike Triplett (@MikeTriplett) October 16, 2017

So how did the Saints put up so many points in a ho-hum performance from Brees? Thank the defense (really!), which scored three touchdowns of its own in a game that was off the rails for all the right reasons.

The Chargers won on a field goal

Earlier this season, the Los Angeles Chargers picked up right where the San Diego Chargers left off: losing heartbreaking games seemingly every week. In the first two weeks of the season, missed field goals were to blame.

Rookie Younghoe Koo missed a game-tying field goal at the end of regulation against the Broncos in Week 1. The next week, his potentially game-winning try sailed wide right against the Dolphins.

Unsurprisingly but still disappointedly, Koo was waived and replaced with Nick Novak.

Fast forward 10 days and the Chargers got another shot to win a game on the leg of their kicker. This time, Novak nailed it for a 17-16 win over the Raiders:

Sorry, Koo. We still love you, but I’m afraid we jinxed you.

Adrian Peterson looked damn good for the Cardinals

If you thought Adrian Peterson was washed up, you weren’t alone. He averaged just 1.9 yards per carry last season when healthy, and he was barely a factor in his first four games with the Saints. Then Peterson was traded to Arizona. He took the field with the Cardinals for the first time on Sunday and he looked like the same guy who rushed for 1,485 yards and 11 touchdowns in 2015.

Peterson had 26 carries for 134 yards and two touchdowns in Arizona’s win over the Buccaneers. In four games with the Saints, he had 27 carries for 81 yards. Peterson had more rushing yards in the first half than the Cardinals had managed in any full game this season.

Peterson should keep getting most of Arizona’s carries, at least until David Johnson returns. And the 32-year-old is exactly what the league’s 32nd-ranked rushing attack needed.

Bad rushing attacks were actually good on Sunday

The Falcons have the 11th-ranked backfield in the league, with Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman averaging over 120 yards per game. Jay Ajayi out-rushed them both by himself in the Dolphins’ win over Atlanta.

Miami was ranked 27th in the league coming into Sunday’s matchup with just 87.4 yards per game. It didn’t matter, not against the Falcons. And it wasn’t just the Dolphins.

The Giants not only won a game for the first time this season, but also actually got a ground game going. Orleans Darkwa had 122 yards through the Giants’ first five games. He finished with a career-high 117 yards against the Broncos, which nearly matched his total to that point of the season.

And Adrian Peterson was a revelation for the Cardinals. He looked like vintage AD as opposed to the guy who barely got any carries over four games with the Saints. Need more proof? Watch him juke a Tampa Bay defender out of his shoes.

Oh, and the Cardinals, Dolphins, and Giants all won games they were expected to lose. It’s not a coincidence.

Ryan Fitzpatrick and Cameron Brate made Harvard-to-Harvard history

If Ryan Fitzpatrick is on the field in an NFL game, you know one thing for certain: The announcers will mention that his alma mater is Harvard University. Cameron Brate, Fitzpatrick’s teammate in Tampa Bay, also went to Harvard. And on Sunday, Fitzpatrick and Brate made some history when Fitz hit Brate for a touchdown against the Cardinals.

Fitzpatrick had to enter the game when Jameis Winston was pulled with a shoulder injury. He made a little Fitzmagic when he hit Brate in the end zone for six despite throwing directly into double coverage, which is a very Ryan Fitzpatrick thing to do.

Fitzpatrick also hit his fellow Harvard alumnus on a 21-yard pass to convert a fourth-and-4.

Winston has a sprained AC joint and may be able to play through it. If not, we’re sure to see some more Harvard-to-Harvard action between Fitzpatrick and Brate.

Mitchell Trubisky got his first NFL win in a weird-ass game

Joe Flacco was far from elite Sunday against the Bears. Flacco put up 180 passing yards, no touchdowns, and two interceptions and tried to throw a touchdown even when he knew he was a few miles past the line of scrimmage

Yet the Bears still managed to blow an 11-point lead. It took a 96-yard kick return touchdown from Bobby Rainey and a 77-yard punt return score from Michael Campanaro to keep the Ravens in the game. But that was enough to do it, and the game went to overtime.

Mitchell Trubisky, in his first win as a pro, completed just half of his 16 passes for 113 yards and a touchdown. But the combination of Trubisky doing just enough after regulation, Jordan Howard going off for 167 yards, and the Ravens’ offense generally being putrid led the Bears to a 27-24 win.

That’s not a phenomenal stat line. Trubisky still managed to become the first rookie quarterback to get a win in Baltimore since Jake Plummer in 1997, according to NFL Research. And he may have saved John Fox’s job in the process.
