In Case You Missed It

My take on the events of the week


          Welcome to this week's, "In Case You Missed It."  These are my instant reactions to the things that took place across the sports landscape over the last week.  Many have opinions on these things, but here are mine!


This week in sports


  1. Nothing worse than losing a perfect game in the 9th inning 
  2. The top 100 players, as always, is a complete joke 
  3. Ohtani’s biggest flaw is that his favorite American food is In-n-out burger 
  4. The top 100 list just proves the players in the NFL are indeed not the sharpest tools in the shed 
  5. Myles Brennan has been at LSU since like 2001. He couldn’t stick it out 1 more year?
  6. Schefty says AK unlikely to be suspended this year, hello Super Bowl 
  7. Is it just me or does it feel like literally no one plays in preseason now?
  8. Matt Lefleur isn’t allowing 1 on 1s in practice. If he doesn’t want Mike to cook his number 1 corner he could just say so 
  9. Zion seems pissed. He’s coming to take souls this year
  10. Mike Clevinger trading a baseball for a beer is hilarious. He gets it


11. Jake Paul has the most horrific swing I’ve ever seen


12. Jake Paul is having a rough week

13. Pels with the greatest schedule announcement of all time. You get used to it.


14. Ohtani: 4 for 5 including a triple, home run and 4 RBIs. Angels lost 11-7. Just another day in Anaheim 

15. We’re on 700 watch for Pujols. One thing this whole country can agree on is he needs to get there this year 

16. Rangers prospect Josh Jung is not human 

17. Tom Brady has gone MIA and apparently Reddit thinks he’s off doing the Masked Singer 

18. This Saints & Packers games is so bad 

19. Best part of the night for the Saints was seeing Lutz all the way back 

20. OJ Howard is bill? 

21. What on Earth happened to Josh Hader? Did the Monstars get to him?


That'll do it for this week! Overall, an uneventful week, but as I've mentioned before, we're getting to the juicy part on the calendar quickly so stay tuned.

Pelicans @ Nuggets Takeaways

By Chrissy Smith • October 30, 2025
Team Stats (Pelicans at Nuggets) Final Score: 88-122 Rebounds: 36-57 Assists: 17-40 Steals: 9-5 Blocks: 3-5 Turnovers: 12-14 Stat Leaders Scoring Leaders: Jeremiah Fears, 21; Nikola Jokić, 21 Rebound Leaders: Trey Murphy III, 7; Nikola Jokić, 12 Assist Leaders: Jeremiah Fears, 6; Nikola Jokić, 10 My Player of the Game: Jeremiah Fears Chrissy's Key Takeaways * The starters for this game were Fears, Murphy III, Jones, Zion, and Deandre Jordan. So that was different, and it didn't work at all. * With most of the third quarter over, Zion had five total points in the game. He finished with 11. * The Nuggets went on a 32-4 run in the third quarter. The Pelicans came out very slow to start off the third. * New Orleans went 7-of-33 from the three-point line. * Nikola Jokić had a triple-double. The Pelicans had no answer for him all night. * Do the Pelicans know that the season has started because the majority of the guys out there look like they still think they're playing Summer League. * The problem with this team isn't the talent because they have that. So what's the problem? Coaching, effort, etc.? This has to be fixed ASAP. Follow @TheKneaux on X, and follow me there too, @SportsChrissy.

Celtics @ Pelicans Takeaways

By Chrissy Smith • October 28, 2025
Team Stats (Celtics at Pelicans) Final Score: 122-90 Rebounds: 54-35 Assists: 25-17 Steals: 5-7 Blocks: 7-0 Turnovers: 11-13 Stat Leaders Scoring Leaders: Anfernee Simons, 25; Jordan Poole, 22 Rebound Leaders: Neemias Queta, 11; Yves Miss, 7 Assist Leaders: Payton Prichard, 8; Trey Murphy, III, 5 My Player of the Game: Jordan Poole Chrissy's Key Takeaways * The first two losses of the season were tough but at least the team looked good. In this game, no one looked fired up to compete except Jordan Poole and Jose Alvarado. * Zion did not play because he's been spending all offseason getting in shape just so he could rest after two games. Makes no sense to me. * Trey Murphy and Herb Jones need to find their spark and stride. These guys have been putting in a ton of work in the offseason but it isn't showing right now. * Willie Green has got to be on a short leash because this 0-3 start feels like the team is just picking up where they left off except this time they're healthy and have all the momentum in the world. * The next three games for the Pelicans will be on the road against Denver, Clippers, and Thunder .
