Let’s get Wednesday Screencaps rolling with one of many hottest matters from the world of sports activities and popular culture that we weren’t overlaying as a result of in this age of AI and Instagram influencers you simply must be very cautious on what we’re seeing.
I’m speaking in regards to the Bryson DeChambeau and Canadian hockey goalie Mikayla Demaiter content material convergence. Are they dating? Is this just a few type of content material play for each of them to dominate social media?
What we all know is that Bryson’s been making it a precedence to play golf in Canada. And Mikayla has been dumping out Bryson-branded content material from his house health club and from a resort room whereas sporting LIV credentials.
Due to this proof, together with Bryson insisting on a lot Canadian golf content material, I’m totally satisfied these two are dating. You can thank the Taylor Swift effect. Now think about what the PGA Tour goes to appear to be in 2027.
You’ll have Paulina Gretzky and Demaiter at The Masters, if what I’m seeing involves fruition, now that LIV is imploding.
Looking forward, if MLB does undergo with its lockout, golf goes to be the epicenter of drama and pageviews. Buckle up.

Never discredit this column and its energy
– Travel Ball Hardo Chris B. in Houston proudly emailed this to me:
Kinsey: I can’t wait to look at this. I pray there is a phase the place they’re all sitting round a Hampton Inn suckin’ down High Noons and backstabbing one another.
Mailbag: boy names & ESPN/NFL is about to power feed us flag soccer!
– Mike in Texas checks in: Good Afternoon Joe. Perusing Texas highschool soccer on X, got here throughout the next names and instantly considered you! Breydon, Cody, Cole, Kaegan, Kolton, Kross, and Raiden. What the heck!!!
WOODY JOHNSON: MAKING FLAG FOOTBALL OFFICIAL GIVES GIRLS A CHANCE TO CATCH THEIR FUTURES
Kinsey: Suburban mothers gone wild, Mike. Happy spouse, glad life. Men must allow them to give their youngsters bastardized names so that they’ll look cool on 11U journey baseball AI-created rosters posted on social media.
– Rob M. in Florida can see it coming: Flag soccer, I’ve seen it, we’ve all seen it. We know what’s coming, we all know that his 12 months might be swamped with WNFL (do we all know what the league might be known as?) promos with former NFL gamers as coaches and assistants. They’ll be up in the sales space throughout the recreation, speaking up this nice new league and the entire nice athletes that can take part in it. We’ll must pay attention as former NFL greats inform us that they’ve by no means seen the likes of the unbelievable athletes which might be taking part in in this league, and the way impressed they’re with the abilities and dedication that that these ladies have.
However, the reality is, leagues like this and the WNBA are nothing however remoras, the fish that persist with sharks and feed off of them. This league might be no totally different than that different league that feeds off of the NBA, propped up by a bunch of Beta males who’re too afraid to say what everyone knows. It’s onerous to jot down in regards to the NFL having Beta males, however I’m not speaking in regards to the males that really play the game, I’m speaking in regards to the executives that inexperienced mild this sort of rubbish. The first time that Sue Bird or another Lesbian Overlord walked into the NFL headquarters and pitched this, there ought to have been one response, “Thanks but no, I’ve seen what the WNBA is putting out, there is no way I want my league to be associated with what is basically a Real Housewives reality series in running shoes”. But that’s not what occurred, these guys sat at consideration advert ate all of it up, they couldn’t wait to say sure. You know why? The NFL prints cash, even in the offseason, simply stone chilly prints it by the ton. They know their fan base will take it, they know we aren’t going anyplace. We’ll put up with advantage signaling slogans in the tip zone, we’ll pay $19 a beer on the stadium, we’ll pay $100 to park. Oh, there might be people who let you know that they’ve had it, however they’re mendacity too, they watch, secretly sitting in their basement with their 6 Fantasy groups and 4 screens of video games on, hiding in the darkish like a young person watching porn. They might get onto Facebook and proclaim that they’re finished with the NFL, however they don’t seem to be.
Joe, you aren’t unsuitable, it’s coming, will probably be power fed to us each Sunday. ESPN will carry the league, promote the league and chastise us for not watching these nice athletes carry out at a excessive degree, ranges to which we’ve got by no means seen earlier than. The articles might be written in regards to the misogyny that these ladies face, the homophobia and racism that’s rampant in the NFL and what we are able to do to repair it. Then, two enticing white ladies will star dominating the league, folks will really watch the video games and discover it entertaining.
The Overlords will develop into offended that these two ladies have gotten the face of the game, the opposite gamers will resent them and actively attempt to kill them on the sphere. The drama will escalate, and the cycle will repeat many times. You know what? Let’s do that, I’m in, let’s see what this turns into. You will get column inches out of it and I’ll get to kind out 4 paragraph rants about it. I can’t wait, carry it on……
Kinsey: Rob’s closing paragraph is the blueprint. Now all of us get to sit down again and watch this play out and snigger.
– Paul in Wisco says: Oh man these DUMPkin wipes cracked me up. Speaking of cracks, I’m a Dude Wipes consumer and solely purchase the unscented ones on Amazon. I do not want somebody out in public asking “Where is that nice autumnal scent emanating from?” after which I reply “My clean ass.”
Dude Wipes additionally had a Bomb Pop scent at Sam’s Club this summer season. Not positive if that qualifies as Respect Summer, however I’ll give it to them for his or her advertising efforts.
– Rory on washing hats in the dishwasher: Yes, dishwasher works, however the heat and cycle will warp the hats. When I used to be child (late 80s/early 90s) they used to promote these hat washing cages you possibly can pop them in, however it nonetheless warped them.
As somebody who likes to maintain my rotation of golf hats wanting clear, I’ve discovered the most effective methodology is to soak in some sizzling water with Oxy Clean. Swish it round once in a while, then as soon as clear give it a very good rinse and cling dry.
The Little League World Series and journey ball groups masquerading as a gaggle thrown collectively a couple of weeks in the past to characterize some small city
– Reed in Minnetonka, MN checks in: You made an fascinating remark this week as to the LLWS and all these groups are completely Travel Ball models disguised as tight-knit, small-town teams of super ball gamers. And I might guess the mortgage you might be proper in 2026. I do know in 1986 I used to be on the REC/neighborhood all-star workforce for LL (no journey ball existed) and we had a path to LLWS in Louisiana. Went to native regionals and bought smoked by a Dwight Gooden sized dude who threw what I bear in mind to be 80 MPH. I used to be the one one to achieve base as I used to be too scared to swing, bought a stroll, to second on a handed ball and that was our offense for the day. They weren’t Travel, simply athletically superior. We drove again to Monroe, LA.
That mentioned, I see you may have the Great Lakes illustration for the LLWS simply down the street in Hamilton, OH (inhabitants 64k). You might have already got the recon that they’re massive time Travel Ball. If not, you’ll be able to go on a BIG J task and really dig into the make-up of this squad as to how they got here to be, origins of the gamers, really what was the trail for this unit to get to the present, have they got an Alyssa Milano-type mother pimping for Venmo to fund their journey.
Kinsey: I do know that Hamilton is a loopy baseball city. I additionally know the Little League is known down there. I additionally know that Hamilton hosts MASSIVE journey sports activities occasions. You may bear in mind my story in July of the families who were being charged over $200 for mother and pop to attend journey basketball tournaments. That was Hamilton.
I’ve to consider the workforce you see out of Ohio on the LLWS might be a journey workforce. I’ve but to have anybody e-mail me saying these groups are conventional Little League groups like 25 years in the past. Matt in Phenix City, AL already advised us the Alabama workforce is a journey workforce.
The state of flashlights
– Mike T. in Idaho is out and about prepping for winter:
Brands simply maintain Disrespecting Summer
– Tom in Clarksville, TN is worried:
