Patty's Players Vol 5

Patty V • August 22, 2022

This weeks Patty’s Players piece is brought to you by teen hormones and nostalgia.

 

The year was 2002, and young Patty V was unquestionably hitting the most awkward years of his life. I can remember it like it was yesterday, I was fourteen years old, and had a crush on just about any beautiful woman I laid eyes on. Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Shakira, Christina Milian, Mya….and Trish freakin’ Stratus.

 

You may be thinking to yourself currently, “Patty, what on earth does this have to do with your weekly player’s column?” Well don’t you worry baby bird, the payoff is coming.


Without further ado, I would like to announce THIS weeks Player: Trish Stratus.

 

Now how on earth would a WWE Hall of Famer, who no longer even competes be relevant in 2022? How is she even in consideration for this weekly selection if she hasn’t done anything with the WWE in over a year?

 

I present exhibit A:

On Saturday, August 20th, Trish Stratus showed up at a WWE Live Event unexpectedly to confront Bailey and her new stable mates. While she was already advertised for the upcoming Monday Night Raw (tomorrow night, August 22nd), this showing was totally unexpected. Now, there was nothing extremely noteworthy about this appearance that would make her performance stand out, or be valued in the sense of being a weekly “Player”. However, the reasoning for my selection this week (other than it being a super slow time of year), is that Trish simply seems to have STOPPED aging.

 

I ask you this, how on earth, has Trish Stratus, now 46 years old, gotten MORE attractive!? Whatever those candians are eating needs to become a part of my daily routine, because HOT DAMN.

 

Leaving the oogling and ogling out of this, one can only HOPE to age as well as Trish has, and thus, she is this weeks selection for Patty’s Player of the week. 


A quick share helps us a lot!

Saints Pregame: Domecoming vs Falcons

By Matt Miguez • October 5, 2026
Twenty years ago, the city of New Orleans was forever changed. The "Rebirth" game when the Superdome reopened after Hurricane Katrina was more than a football game already. However, when Steve Gleason blocked the first punt of the game and it was returned for a touchdown, everyone in the building knew it was over.

Recap: LSU Pummels McNeese in Non-Conference Game

By Chrissy Smith • October 5, 2026
BATON ROUGE -- No. 11 LSU did exactly what it was supposed to do Saturday night — and then some. The Tigers dominated McNeese from the opening whistle, rolling to a 63-14 victory inside Tiger Stadium while putting together one of the most productive offensive performances in school history. LSU finished with 731 yards of total offense , the second-most in a single game in program history. The Tigers also ran 101 offensive plays, setting a new school record. For head coach Lane Kiffin, though, the night was about more than piling up points against an FCS opponent. Kiffin Wants LSU Playing Its Standard LSU led 35-0 at halftime and had every reason to take its foot off the gas. Kiffin chose not to. When asked about using a running clock in the second half, Kiffin said LSU needed to continue playing its game. “You play the game and we decide when the game’s over, by the way that we play, and how physical that we play,” Kiffin said. That mentality showed up throughout the night. Even with the game firmly in hand, LSU continued to play with energy and gave plenty of younger players valuable snaps. Kiffin said the number of plays was particularly important because the Tigers will need that depth during the stretch ahead. “A lot of snaps for guys,” Kiffin said. “The goal was to get (that up) to evaluate those guys because they are going to need to play with the injuries we have down the stretch.” Offense Finds Plenty of Contributors Quarterback Sam Leavitt completed 18 of 23 passes for 176 yards and three touchdowns, while Corey Barber Jr. caught two touchdown passes. The running game was just as impressive. Harlem Berry rushed for 125 yards and a touchdown, while Stacy Gage added 110 yards and two touchdowns. Five different Tigers — Berry, Dilin Jones, Gage, Landen Clark and freshman defensive tackle Deuce Geralds — scored rushing touchdowns. Geralds' touchdown was particularly memorable. Kiffin joked afterward that he had checked with LSU historian and former Tiger Anthony “Booger” McFarland to determine whether anyone had previously recorded a sack and offensive touchdown in the same game. Kiffin said Geralds now holds the record outright. After a 35-6 victory over Texas A&M last week, LSU has now put together back-to-back dominant performances. The competition gets much tougher from here. But Saturday night showed that LSU has plenty of players capable of making plays — and Kiffin is making sure they understand the standard doesn't change simply because the opponent does. LSU is 4-1 and now turns its attention to Kentucky next Saturday on the road.
