🤩 Tubz 🛀 Unfiltered - Volume 11 🤩
Happy Monday, y’all !
I’ll have an exciting announcement next week that entails you possibly winning money (read: a $20 Amazon gift card). In the meantime, a new Taylor Swift album was released last week. If there is a group of people that you should never piss off or disrespect, it’s Taylor Swift fans —quite a rambunctious bunch.
VIRAL VIDEO OF THE WEEK
When the recipient of this haymaker got ready for this game, she probably thought it was going to be just like any other game for herself — score a few buckets, make some good, strong bounce passes, play suffocating defense, and get a snack from one of moms after the game. She probably didn’t think she was going to get clocked in the throat and face, but life is full of surprises.
Anyway, after the girl version of Shaq Diesel bricked the shot and emulated James Harden with a flop, you can hear her mom (I’m guessing it’s her mom) yell, “You better hit her.” Well, the mom and dad, a former NBA player, cannot discipline the daughter for not following orders because the daughter definitely hit her.
Maybe next time, instead, the mom can yell for her daughter to give an opposing player a stern hip check. Baby steps toward ending this mayhem, especially since the Ms. Shaq Diesel threw haymakers at a previous game.

LA Times: Antarctica scientist allegedly stabs colleague for spoiling the endings of books
No one likes spoilers, particularly for a real good book. If you are a scientist living in Antarctica — and I’m spitballing here — reading books, playing with polar bears for experiments, and building igloos are your only forms of entertainment. So when someone ruins one of the most thrilling aspects of one of those entertainment options on a consistent basis, which was the case here, I can sort of understand someone exhibiting untethered rage. A drunk Russian (reportedly) with a mustache + a co-worker spoiling book endings = Sergey Savitsky’s rage knowing no bounds. Seems like a tried and true formula.
Now, would I stab someone over a similar type of incident? I personally would not, but only because I’m not a big weapons guy.

Baylor 27 Oklahoma 14: Baylor took OU out back and shot ‘em like a horse. Whoops, that statement does not reflect the Baptist values of Baylor University. Let me rephrase — Baylor whacked OU with a hard-ass, wooden ruler on the hand then spanked them.
The Sooners could not doing anything offensively and even replaced QB Caleb Williams (10/19, 146 yards, 2 INTs) with Spencer Rattler in the third quarter, while Baylor torched the Sooners on the ground for 296 yards on 47 carries (6.3 yards/carry).
Fast forward to the end of the game. Baylor kicked (and made) a field goal with seconds left on the clock, which crybaby and Sooners HC Lincoln Riley did not appreciate. Mind you, some of the students had rushed the field at this point.
Baylor HC Dave Aranda reportedly kicked it since point differential is the third tiebreaker in Big 12 rules. Do you know why Aranda actually kicked it?
Tennessee Titans 23 New Orleans Saints 21: The Saints offensive personnel sort of looked like the little Giants as they were without running back Alvin Kamara, had journeyman Trevor Siemian under center and Mark “Double Quarter Pounder With Cheese” Ingram as their starting back, and their wide receivers are the mayors of Trash City USA.
But credit to HC Sean Payton & Co. for making it a competitive game. They were a two-point conversion away from tying it with a minute left and if the kicker didn’t miss two PATs earlier in the game, the Saints are probably leaving Nashville with a victory. For the Titans (8-2), Sunday’s victory extended their winning streak to six games and vaulted them to the No.1 seed in the AFC.
Does the NFL have an officiating problem? Yes, yes they do. The below play happened toward the end of the first half. Instead of an interception in the end zone for the Saints, the Titans scored a touchdown a few plays later.
If you chuckled, feel free to forward to others and/or share on social. Any corrections, omissions, suggestions, etc., send 'em my way. Much love. -Tubz
