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!

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 .
