It’s Hump Day and your week-long warning until Christmas. One week. Seven days. One final push to make it count.

Leave it all on the field, boys and girls. Game on the line, season on the line, one more minute. How do YOU ​​end 2024? Let’s get to the bottom of it.

Welcome to a Wednesday Nightcaps – the one where we welcome Brooks Koepka’s SI model wife Jena Sims back to class after a long break and go from there.

Did anyone watch The Match last night? I didn’t do it. Admittedly, I didn’t even know it was on. The same goes for something called Frisco bowl, which was apparently also on. Did you know? I literally saw college football highlights on my Twitter feed this morning and just assumed they were old.

How could there be a real bowl game last night that I didn’t know about? Wild. Is this a me thing or a marketing thing? Is bowl season early this year? I don’t understand it. Well, yes. Won’t happen again.

What else? I’ve got Trump with a new look for 2025, Patrick Mahomes is magically back to play after recovering from another dramatic injury, and Sydney Sweeney continues to battle the online trolls, this time without a bra. Good luck, haters.

What a Hump Day meal!

Grab some candy to celebrate National sweets Day out like the top-notch Dolly Parton and treat yourself to a Wednesday Cap!

Dolly Parton is still the GOAT

Hard candies? Uh. Not for me. Happy Ranchers is by far #1 here, and Werthers OG will always hold a special place in my heart. But all in all? I don’t really see the hype.

Apart from that, Candy Christmas is a blast this time of year and is underrated in the pantheon of Christmas songs.

Fine! Mount Rushmore.

1. Literally everything that is wrong Charlie Brown Christmas album (Christmas time is here preferably)

2. Grandma was run over by a reindeer (Elmo & Patsy version of course because we’re Americans)

3. Merry Christmas from the family (Robert Earl Keen version of course because we’re Americans)

4. Christmas In Hollis (DMC’s best song by far)

No, Hard Candy Christmas doesn’t quite make the list, but it’s close. I would say too Pretty paper in there, but I don’t think it’s a pure Christmas song, so it’s missing the cut. Great song though.

Okay, where was I? Oh yes! Dolly!

Rate Trump’s new hair

See? Banger. Does Dolly still have it or what? Legend.

Speaking of turning off the heat in the 70s, did anyone here see Donald J. Trump’s new hairstyle yesterday? What a pistol.

I wrote about this this morning because I’m a patriot, but for those who weren’t up at 6:30 a.m., the president-elect rocked the internet with a snazzy new haircut.

Now there’s a debate about what exactly is going on here… is it a new look or just your classic case of Golfer’s hair?

I think I’m there The Camp from this course, but I’m not 100% sure yet. What do you all think?

Sid the Kid, Pat Mahomes and underrated Christmas villains

Electric. What an end to 2024.

As much as I’d like to imagine that Trump completely changed his hairstyle 30 days before retaking the White House, it’s far more plausible that he just hung up his hat at the age of 18, as any golfer with an ounce of respect would suffice. and the media happened to make the film right after. We’ve all been there.

It’s also a billion degrees in Florida this week, so I can imagine our next president working up a sweat in that covered moss, too. That would explain the slicked back look we see.

In any case, I’m totally into it. Let’s finish strong – both in 2024 and in this class.

Speaking of…rapid fire time! First? Sydney Sweeney continues to fight back after internet trolls called her “fat” earlier this week:

My God. The number you see above would be 1.8 million – as in likes on this heater of a photo. Did Sydney come away with momentum or what?

It all goes back to losers on the World Wide Web saying she was something called “center.” The The picture made the rounds last weekend:

What a world. My God. People who don’t think Sid the Kid is hot are the same people who say they wouldn’t hit on Brittany Mahomes at a bar.

They are all liars. Boys are just horny and predictable. I should know – I am one and I am both. That’s why I grabbed the First Lady when I could!

Next? Screencaps’ SeanJo has been on this bandwagon for years, and now I’m all over it too: I’m DONE with Patrick Mahomes faking a serious injury every year only to magically come back the next game (or drive). as if he were a hero acting out the pain.

It’s not him. It consists only of bark, without any bite. He’s full of shit, and I’m convinced of this after his latest stunt:

Like clockwork. Every single year. Mahomes gets injured, makes a huge scene, limps and waddles off the field, his return is “seriously doubtful,” and then BAM – he’s back like nothing happened.

And by the way, we all did it. Hell, I did this for a living in high school. Play up an injury to lower expectations and then look like an absolute warrior and hero when you magically come back and play great.

How the hell do you think I played DIII baseball?! It’s called chess, not checkers.

Finally, this little tweet this morning got me thinking between Trump blogs and Hook’s 47th Yellowstone story:

Take us home, Jena!

Spoiler alert for those who are also taking my Power Rankings course (three doors down the hall, to your left!): This will be my topic tomorrow. I’m not quite sure how I’m going to classify them yet, but Neil from the Santa Claus The trilogy will be there 100 percent.

I just watched the original Santa Claus movie earlier this week and had the exact same thought. This guy is just the WORST. He’s terrible. Honestly, I put the woman on the same level as him for allowing this dick to talk to her child like he does.

Terrible mother, even worse stepfather.

Others that come to mind? Obviously Marv from Home Alone. This is a given. The mayor from “The Grinch”, but the stupid Cindy Lou, who also really annoys me. I would also fire the boss Christmas holidays, and the red-headed brat Christmas story.

I feel like I have a good start for tomorrow’s class. I hope to see you all there!

Okay, that’s it for today. Take us home, Jena Sims. And stay hot, boy!
