Patty's Players - Volume 2

This is a subtitle for your new post

Its time for Patty’s Players, TAKE TWO!


We’re at a very odd time in the sports season where there isn’t a whole heck of a lot going on. I certainly could have chosen Skylar Diggins-Smith again, because oh by the way, she’s still killing it. However, with that being said, I figured this may be the perfect example to showcase that this weekly piece will be random as f*ck. In perusing the dark web (seriously be careful when doing this), I found it extremely difficult to find a sports performance that really, stood out to me. I then turned my eye to the pop culture world, politics, etc. STILL NOTHING (maybe notable, but nothing I cared about enough to have fun with).


As I sat, Saturday night, the day before my piece comes out, I had nothing. Do I choose a boring camp body story? Heck no. Then, it happened. LOGAN FREAKIN PAUL. Less that one week into the Haitch era of the WWE, and his very first PPV event (which was pretty solid by the way), celebrity douchebag Logan Paul stole the show, and put on the match of his life.


Patty’s Player, numero dos: Logan Paul.


I’d like to present to you, exhibit a: 

Look I understand, for all of you folks out there that aren’t wrestling fans, the thought of this internet, YouTube sensation jumping off of something and making people oooohh and ahhh isn’t super incredible. But I say… SHUT UP. This kid put his body on the line, when he absolutely did not have to (look at his income/net worth/YouTube numbers). He is oddly talented at professional wrestling, and put on a HELL of a match. Even outside of this particular spot, he was selling and performing the same if not better than most others in the world of professional wrestling.


There have been reports that Logan Paul is very much in control of his booking, and refuses to be booked as a heel (bad guy). After this match, I genuinely don’t think it matters. He is such a phenomenal in ring performer, his self centered approach to life will DEFINITELY get over in the world of sports entertainment.


So there you have it. Logan Paul, week two, selection two of Patty’s Players. If you’re not down with that, I’ve got two words for ya. (next week)

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 .
