The pair will reprise their roles as Walter White and Jesse Pinkman in an ad for PopCorners that will debut during Super Bowl LVII on February 12. In a clip (which you can watch here), Paul’s Pinkman is seen eating from a bag of PopCorners in the New Mexico desert when he receives a phone call. “Yo. What’s up?” he asks, as the camera pulls out to reveal a vacant chair and the Krystal Ship. If the commercial tagline isn’t “PopCorners: they’re as addictive as meth,” someone really beefed it.
In other Breaking Bad news, Rian Johnson, who directed the show’s best episode (and the only episode with a 10.0 rating on IMDb), revealed that he was asked back for Better Call Saul. “Yeah. I was too busy,” the Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery director told Rolling Stone. “I think at some point, Melissa Bernstein got in touch about it, and I would have loved to. But the reality is, it gets harder and harder to block out the time.”
Single barrel bourbon is a great sub-style of the corn-fueled juice. A single barrel bourbon is — in theory — the brand’s best expression of their point of view as distillers and/or blenders. The people behind the brand(s) believe that the whiskey from a single barrel of bourbon is so on point with a clear beginning, middle, and end that it doesn’t need to be blended with other barrels to help fill in any gaps in the flavor profile. It’s the good stuff with that little bit of magic that helped a single barrel age pretty much perfectly.
But which bourbon brands do that best? Well, let’s do a blind taste test to find out. I’ve pulled 10 bottles of single barrel bourbon from Kentucky, Tennessee, and Indiana (though mostly Kentucky) to see which ones taste the absolute best in a blind taste test.
That makes our lineup the following bottles:
Henry McKenna Single Barrel Bottled-In-Bond Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Barrel No. 12358
Kirkland Signature Single Barrel Reserve by Barton 1792 Master Distillers Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Uncle Nearest Single Barrel Premium Whiskey Barrel No. 007
Nose: The nose opens slightly tannic with rich orange zest and vanilla cream next to woody winter spice, fresh mint, and wet cedar with a hint of gingerbread and burnt cherry.
Palate: The palate hits on soft vanilla white cake with a salted caramel drizzle and burnt orange zest vibe next to apple/pear tobacco leaves dipped in toffee and almond.
Finish: The end has a sour cherry sensation that leads to wintery woody spices, cedar bark, and old cellar beams with a lush vanilla pod and cherry stem finish.
Initial Thoughts:
This was a nice place to start but had a slight thinness that peaked around the mid-palate and finish. It wasn’t washed out, just light.
Taste 2
Zach Johnston
Tasting Notes:
Nose: The nose on this one is pure classic bourbon with rich vanilla, salted caramels, sweet oak staves, winter spices, and a hint of Almond Joy.
Palate: The palate leans into sour red wine spiced with woody winter spices and cut with brown sugar before a sense of corn husks, creamy eggnog with plenty of nutmeg, and cherry/chocolate tobacco leaves kick in.
Finish: The end has a nice warmth, kind of like a spicy ancho-dark hot chocolate flaked with salt and rolling around next to cherry tobacco.
Initial Thoughts:
This is delicious whiskey. It’s well-rounded and has a deep flavor profile. It’s a little warm on the tongue but not overly so.
Taste 3
Zach Johnston
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Rich and dark cacao powder next to burnt caramels, black licorice, old vanilla pods, and old leather boots appear on the nose with a dash of fresh nutmeg and clove.
Palate: Lush salted caramel and a rich sense of honey loaded with cinnamon sticks and a black cherry cola drive the palate before a pinch of black pepper arrives, adding a bold ABV heat.
Finish: The end has a cream soda feel with spiced nut cake and mince pies over a Cherry Coke cut with chocolate sauce that’s just kissed with chili pepper tobacco.
Initial Thoughts:
This is very nice and lush with a big ABV burn on the mid-palate. I wanted to add a rock.
Taste 4
Zach Johnston
Tasting Notes:
Nose: The nose on this meanders from sheet cake with vanilla frosting toward chili-laced dark chocolate ice cream to old leather gloves with a hint of potting soil, soft cedar planks, and a twinge of an orange creamsicle.
Palate: The taste balances a lemon meringue pie with silky cream soda, red peppercorns, and thick toffee sauce with plenty of brown butter.
Finish: The end has a bit of woody spice next to spiced cherry syrup, a crack of black pepper, and crumb more of that cake from the nose with a counter of those old leather gardening gloves finishing off the taste.
Initial Thoughts:
This was classic. It felt like a really good bourbon from top to bottom.
Taste 5
Zach Johnston
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Sour cherries over malted vanilla ice cream pull you in on the nose with toasted coconut and spiced pine cones, buttery vanilla cake, and burnt orange.
Palate: The palate hits on rich and moist marzipan with a hint of dried rose next to woody holiday spices, German chocolate cake with a heavy almond cream vibe, and a twinge of cinnamon candy tobacco.
Finish: The end has an Almond Joy feel that leads to sour cherry and chocolate tobacco with a slight hint of old porch wicker.
Initial Thoughts:
This also felt like a classic bourbon. The beginning, middle, and end were quintessential.
Taste 6
Zach Johnston
Tasting Notes:
Nose: This is a very classic Kentucky bourbon nose with big winter spice notes tied to barks and buds with a hint of nutmeg before leaning into oily vanilla pods and salted caramel chews with a nice hint of apple cider and black cherry cola.
Palate: Clove buds, cinnamon bark, and allspice berries lead on the palate with a hint of chili pepper spiciness before a lush sense of vanilla white cake with toffee frosting and burnt orange creates a luxurious mouthfeel with a hint of alcohol warmth.
Finish: The end arrives with a deeply classic vibe that’s slightly tied to old oak cellars next to cherry bark, old bottles of vanilla, and easy-going salted caramel sweetness next to a hint of apple cider tobacco rolled with cinnamon bark and cedar.
Initial Thoughts:
This was really good too. It had a nice depth to it and was a very easy sipper.
Taste 7
Zach Johnston
Tasting Notes:
Nose: You’re greeted with vanilla pound cake drizzled with salted caramel, mulled wine spices, and a cherry hand pie with powdered sugar icing that’s just touched with dark chocolate and maybe some broom bristles and corn husks.
Palate: The taste leans into floral honey cut with orange oils next to sticky toffee pudding and cherry tobacco packed into an old leather pouch.
Finish: There’s a hint of coconut cream pie next to woody winter spices on the finish with a touch more of that cherry tobacco married to salted dark chocolate all layered with dry sweetgrass and cedar bark.
Initial Thoughts:
This is really nice but felt a little on the cheap side. It’s not a bad taste at all, more of a mild thinness compared to the other pours. Still, this was good whiskey.
Taste 8
Zach Johnston
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Old lawn furniture and Christmas cookies mingle on the nose with a beautiful mix of old figs, sticky toffee pudding, plenty of mulled wine spice, apricot jam, and a whisper of white pepper warmth.
Palate: The palate has a nice warmth to it that leans into the spices in a fig pudding and Christmas cake or gingerbread panel next to dried wild sage and cedar bark with a hint of berry tobacco.
Finish: The end kicks the warmth up with sweetness via a Hot Tamales candy sensation next to old stewed pear jam next to a hint of salted dark chocolate tobacco in an old leather pouch.
Initial Thoughts:
Holy shit, this was good whiskey. It’s so deeply flavored and full of twists and turns in the flavor profile that leads to a great finish. So good.
Taste 9
Zach Johnston
Tasting Notes:
Nose: This is bold on the nose too with plenty of lush vanilla next to salted caramel, a touch of barrel char, brandy-soaked cherries, and a hint of dark chocolate-covered espresso beans with a little date/prune action.
Palate: The palate pops with dark chocolate Almond Joys next to cherry root beer and old oak with a hint of potting soil that leads to a big ABV warmth with sharp peppery spice.
Finish: The end softens toward a mocha espresso with a dash of nutmeg next to dry cedar and cherry tobacco wrapped around a box of Red Hots.
Initial Thoughts:
This was also pretty great. The mid-palate was a little hot but still delivered a nice overall profile. It just needed a rock.
Taste 10
Zach Johnston
Tasting Notes:
Nose: There’s a peppery sense of cedar bark and burnt orange next to salted caramel and tart red berries with a moist and spicy sticky toffee pudding with some brandy butter dancing on the nose.
Palate: The palate blends vanilla tobacco with salted dark chocolate-covered marzipan while espresso cream leads to new porch wicker and black peppercorns.
Finish: The end has a pecan waffle vibe with chocolate chips, maple syrup, blackberry jam, and minced meat pies next to old tobacco and cedar with a sweet yet singed marshmallow on the very end.
Initial Thoughts:
This is just delicious, perfectly balanced, and warm without being hot. It’s great.
Part 2: The Ranking
Zach Johnston
10. Henry McKenna Single Barrel Bottled-In-Bond Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Barrel No. 12358 — Taste 1
This very affordable offering from Heaven Hill is hard to beat at its price. The juice utilizes a touch of rye in the mash bill and is then aged for ten long years in a bonded rickhouse. The best barrels are chosen by hand and the juice is bottled with just a touch of water to bring it down to bottled-in-bond proof.
Bottom Line:
This was the thinnest profile of the whole batch today. It wasn’t bad, it just felt like it’d be better suited to a good cocktail than a sipper.
9. Jim Beam Single Barrel Selected Barch Barrel No. JB 000310093 Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey — Taste 7
Each of these Jim Beam bottlings is pulled from single barrels that hit just the right spot of taste, texture, and drinkability, according to the master distillers at Beam. That means this juice is pulled from less than 1% of all barrels in Beam’s warehouses, making this a very special bottle at a bafflingly affordable price.
Bottom Line:
This really was a good whiskey with a slight thinness to it that didn’t really take too much away. Still, I’d probably use this to make a killer cocktail.
This new single-barrel release is made with juice distilled, aged, and bottled at the Nearest Green Distillery in central Tennessee. The single barrels are chosen for their exact flavor profile and greatness and bottled completely as-is with no filtration or cutting with water to maintain that barrel’s greatness in the bottle.
Bottom Line:
This was nice overall but was pretty hot on the palate. It feels like it’d be great over a glass of ice.
This is a high water mark of what standard Wild Turkey can achieve. The Russells select the “honey barrels” (those special barrels that are as much magic as craft) from their rickhouses for single barreling. The juice is non-chill filtered but is cut down slightly to proof with that soft Kentucky water.
Bottom Line:
This is just classic all around — and that’s it. It didn’t take me anywhere new but it didn’t need to. It just delivered. That said, I’d probably make an awesome Manhattan with this before I’d sip it neat.
These single barrel releases from Huber Winery’s Starlight Distillery are starting to light up the craft bourbon scene. The Indiana juice is real craft from a family tradition going back to the mid-1800s on the same farm (this isn’t MGP). Depending on the barrel, the mash here is a unique one with 58% corn, 27% rye, and 15% malted barley. That whiskey is aged for at least four years before it’s considered ready for single barrel bottling as-is.
Bottom Line:
This was also classic from top to bottom with no bells or whistles, just good whiskey. Again, that means that I would use this for cocktails before as a sipper. Though, I’m sure it’s perfectly fine over some rocks.
5. Knob Creek Single Barrel Reserve Aged 9 Years Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey — Taste 9
This single barrel bourbon is from Beam’s private barrel pick program for retailers and at the distillery. That means your local retailer goes out to Clermont, Kentucky, and picks a single barrel for their store only. Beam then cuts the bourbon to 120 proof (if needed), bottles it, and delivers it to the store. That also means these will vary from store to store ever so slightly.
Bottom Line:
This was a great pour with a tad too much heat on the mid-palate. That’s easily fixed with some ice.
4. Frank August Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Aged 5.1 Years Barrel No. 0002 — Taste 6
This brand-new release from awards-favorite Frank August dials things into a single barrel of whiskey. The whiskey in the bottle is a 5.1-year-old Kentucky bourbon from an undisclosed source. That barrel is bottled 100% as-is with no cutting, filtering, or fussing.
Bottom Line:
This was pretty delicious and a great sipper on its own. It’s also where we get into the splitting hairs section of this ranking.
3. Kirkland Signature Single Barrel Reserve by Barton 1792 Master Distillers Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey — Taste 2
This Costco release is sourced from Sazerac’s other Kentucky distillery, Barton 1792 Distillery down in Bardstown, Kentucky. The whiskey in the bottle is very likely the same distillate/barrels as 1792 Full Proof. However, this is proofed down a tiny bit below that at 120 proof instead of 125 proof, adding some nuance to this release.
Bottom Line:
I liked this a tiny bit more. It was just perfectly balanced while still holding onto a deep profile. It’s also a really nice neat sipper.
2. Michter’s Single Barrel 10 Years Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey — Taste 10
The juice in this bottle is a little under wraps. Michter’s is currently distilling and aging its own whiskey, but this is still sourced. The actual barrels sourced for these single barrel expressions tend to be at least 10 years old with some rumored to be closer to 15 years old (depending on the barrel’s quality, naturally). Either way, the juice goes through Michter’s bespoke filtration process before a touch of Kentucky’s iconic soft limestone water is added, bringing the bourbon down to a very crushable 94.4 proof.
Bottom Line:
Again, this was just really, really good whiskey. There are no faults in this pour — it’s perfect as-is.
1. Nashtucky Special Release Aged 8 Years Barrel No. KY-601 Straight Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey — Taste 8
This whiskey is part of the new line from the famed Nashville Barrel Company. In this case, barrels were filled in Kentucky and then sent down to Nashville to age for eight years, colliding the worlds of Kentucky bourbon with the Tennessee climate. The results are bottled as-is one barrel at a time.
Bottom Line:
This got a “wow” out of me. Yes, the last few pours were all pretty close to perfect, but this was that little bit more. It wasn’t too hot, had real balance, and took me on a journey. It’s great
Part 3: Final Thoughts
Zach Johnston
The top five of this ranking are full of spectacular bourbon. Hell, the top seven are all winners really. In all honesty, there’s not a skippable bottle on this list. I’d happily use the Henry McKenna Single Barrel for cocktails any ol’ day of the week.
That all said, that Nashtucky bottle is just something else. It’s so good and interesting and delicious and, and, and… It’s worth tracking down a bottle and adding it to your rotation ASAP.
Save for a brief hiatus about a decade ago, Fall Out Boy has been getting after it for around 20 years now. They’re still going strong now, with a new album, So Much (For) Stardust, set to drop on March 24. They performed on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last night, too, although notably absent was guitarist and founding member Joe Trohman. That’s because he’s “stepping away” from the band in the interest of his mental health.
In a message shared on Fall Out Boy’s social media accounts last night (January 18), Trohman explained, “Without divulging all the details, I must disclose that my mental health has rapidly deteriorated over the past several years. So, to avoid fading away and never returning, I will be taking a break from work which regrettably includes stepping away from Fall Out Boy for a spell.”
He also made sure to note he will “absolutely, one-hundred percent” return to FOB at some point.
Find Trohman’s full message below, as well as last night’s Kimmel performance of “Love From The Other Side.”
“Neil Young once howled that it’s better to burn out than to fade away. But I can tell you unequivocally that burning out is dreadful. Without divulging all the details, I must disclose that my mental health has rapidly deteriorated over the past several years. So, to avoid fading away and never returning, I will be taking a break from work which regrettably includes stepping away from Fall Out Boy for a spell.
It pains me to make this decision, especially when we are releasing a new album that fills me with great pride (the sin I’m most proud of). So, the question remains: Will I return to the fold? Absolutely, one-hundred percent. In the meantime, I must recover which means putting myself and my mental health first. Thank you to everyone, including my bandmates and family, for understanding and respecting this difficult, but necessary, decision.
Smell you sooner than later,
Joe Trohman.”

I’m not sure who was asking for Jack in the Box to drop new Red Bull Energy-enhanced beverages, but… they’re doing it. Well, who are we to complain? The only good thing to come out of the Coca-Cola Freestyle machine (that crazy fountain machine that allows you to select 99+ different flavor variations) is that it allows you to have interesting flavor infusions that the big brands have never thought to give us like Vanilla Sprite or Cherry Root Beer. And yet Jack in the Box seems to be the only fast food chain taking advantage of this newfound flexibility, offering up curated flavor combinations every few months.
The latest offering is the aforementioned Red Bull infusions, which include two flavor variations, Red Daze and Berry Purple Daze, consisting of a mix of fruit flavors and your choice of classic or sugar-free Red Bull. Nothing says lunchtime like some greasy food and a caffeine and taurine-boosted beverage that’ll get your heart pumping! But before you get all amped up on Jack in the Box, you’re probably wondering if these new infusions — which are available at Jack in the Box restaurants nationwide for a limited time — are any good?
We’re here to find out by subjecting our mind and body to the new drinks. Let’s get wild!
Red Daze/ Berry Purple Daze Red Bull Infusions
Dane Rivera
For this tasting, I opted for Classic Red Bull as the base for my infusions since classic and sugar-free Red Bull is essentially identical in flavor. I thought about getting all four to see if I could pick up on any differences, but I don’t want my heart to beat out of my chest, so I didn’t.
If you love the taste of Red Bull you’re in luck, because that same crispy, sweet, and slightly dry flavor that is characteristic of the brand is the dominating flavor note here, with the fruity infusions acting as a subtle twist, rather than the main focus, despite what their vibrant colors might suggest. The strawberry-tinged Red Daze features bright fruity notes that serve as a nice compliment to the typical Red Bull flavor, but of the two I think the Berry Purple Daze is the better flavor.
Dane Rivera
Don’t let its dark and deathly color dissuade you, the mix of grape and berry notes really adds a whole other dimension to the flavor of Red Bull. This one comes across as much more balanced in flavor, infusing rich dark berry tones to the base flavor that tantalize the tastebuds and make this dark and moody brew incredibly addicting.
I don’t think I’ve ever downed a Red Bull as fast as the Berry Purple Daze.
The Bottom Line
Nobody asked for or needs the Red and Berry Purple Daze Red Bull infusions, but it’s still a great drink option if you’re looking for something with a stronger kick than a Coke. If you’re curious, go ahead and satiate the curiosity, because it’s worth it.
The Dallas Mavericks fell to 24-22 on the season with a 130-122 loss at home to the Atlanta Hawks on Thursday night, marking their third consecutive loss and third consecutive game allowing 130 or more points.
After the game, head coach Jason Kidd was not shy about his frustrations with the defensive effort of his team, and certainly seemed to indicate that he doesn’t see a whole lot changing unless there are some roster changes to come. When asked about how the Mavs can improve on that end, he led his answer off with “if it’s with this personnel, you have to keep asking or demanding for those guys to play defense,” which isn’t exactly an encouraging answer.
Jason Kidd on fixing the Mavericks’ defense: “If it’s with this personnel, you have to keep asking or demanding for those guys to play defense. It’s not just the offensive end, and tonight, again we gave up 130. The team shot 57 percent … It’s a shootaround.”
Kidd seems very fed up with the Mavs’ lack of care on defense, sarcastically closing by saying the team will feel it’s ok to give up 150 because they also score a bunch so it won’t look so bad. Defense has always been Kidd’s calling card as a coach, so it’s not a surprise that he’d be upset at what he’s seeing on the floor, but at the same time, it’s also part of his job to find the way to get those guys to care. While the Mavs certainly aren’t a team full of defensive stalwarts (and are missing a key piece in Maxi Kleber), that’s part of why they went out and hired Kidd. A year ago they made it work, but adding more offensive minded players this offseason, like Christian Wood, has further shifted the balance and it seems Kidd’s message and scheme aren’t enough to cover up those problems.
We’ll see how the Mavs proceed over the next couple of weeks with the trade deadline looming, but it seems this mid-January dip could push them towards a shakeup to bring some more roster balance, at least if the coach has his way.
After months of waiting, fans of The Last of Us finally got a glimpse at what the beloved video game looks like when transformed into a live-action series on January 15 — and it appeared to be well worth the wait. In addition to being a ratings hit, the series has received positive reviews from nearly everyone — including our own Josh Kurp, who called it “the best live-action video game adaptation ever.”
Approximately 4.7 million people tuned in to the series premiere of The Last of Us, making the post-apocalyptic thriller the second most watched premiere on HBO (right after — surprise! — House of the Dragon). The series follows the adventures of Joel (The Mandalorian’s Pedro Pascal), a man who has survived the apocalypse and has been tasked with rescuing Ellie (Game of Thrones’ Bella Ramsey), a teenage girl who is caught in a quarantine zone.
Early reports claimed the each episode of the series cost nearly $100 million apiece, so the network was really banking on a hit — literally. With only eight more episodes left to watch, fans are already demanding to see the schedule to mark down its next airtimes in order to bring back appointment television.
Unsurprisingly, The Last of Us is taking up the vaunted 9 p.m. slot on Sunday nights on HBO (the one held by House of the Dragon and Game of Thrones before that). The second episode will premiere on HBO on January 22 and the remaining episodes will run in each of the seven weeks that follow.
When Rian Johnson’s murder-mystery comedy Knives Out premiered in 2019, it became one of the surprise hits of the year. Between its all-star cast and fast-paced story of family betrayal, viewers couldn’t seem to get enough of Daniel Craig’s smooth-as-molasses Southern accent as master detective Benoit Blanc.
Even before the original film was released, Johnson made mention of wanting to continue on with the adventures of Detective Blanc, and that he already had some ideas for where Craig might be able to go with the character next. In February 2020, Deadline reported that a sequel was in the works and hinted that the series could continue from there.
While the sequel, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, has been met with mixed reviews, Johnson, Craig, and what is sure to be a bevy of new A-list names will be pressing on with a third film in the series. In 2021, The Hollywood Reporter noted the distribution rights to the now-series moved from Lionsgate to Netflix, which paid out nearly $500 million for two more Knives Out films — and put a lot of the power in Johnson’s hands directly.
The pact gave Johnson immense creative control, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter. He doesn’t have to take notes from the streamer. The only contingencies were that Craig must star in the sequels and that each must have at least the budget of the 2019 movie, which was in the $40 million range. Sources say that Johnson, [his producing partner Ram] Bergman and Craig stand to walk away with upwards of $100 million each.
And while there are only three films scheduled to be made under the current contract, there’s the possibility that it could extend even further. While speaking with the press, Craig expressed his desire to keep making Knives Out movies. Johnson would love to see that happen, but knows that there’s no such thing as a done deal.
“The industry is changing so drastically, especially now,” Johnson told Deadline. “It really is a bit like an avalanche that we’re all running on top of, waiting to see where it settles.”
If you were part of the generation that was introduced to Thursday night as TV’s biggest night of the week, and knew that NBC was where to find all the best shows — or if you’ve just binge-watched a lot of 30 Rock — you undoubtedly understand the power of Night Court.
The Emmy-winning comedy, which premiered in 1984, was a bit like Cheers… if Cheers had been set in a late-night New York City courtroom (yes, that’s a real thing) and not in a Boston bar where everybody knows your name. For nine seasons, audiences tuned in to witness the wacky shenanigans as the magic-loving Judge Harry Stone (Harry Anderson) presided over a courtroom full of eccentrics, some of them in handcuffs and some of them legal professionals.
John Larroquette won four consecutive Emmys for his role as randy assistant district attorney Dan Fielding, who regularly directed his lust toward public defender Christine Sullivan (Markie Post). When it was announced in late 2020 that Night Court would be getting a reboot, courtesy of The Big Bang Theory star Melissa Rauch, the big question on everyone’s mind was: Which members of the original cast would be returning?
Original star Anderson passed away in April 2018, and Post died in August 2021 after a years-long battle with cancer. But fans of the original series will recognize at least one familiar face: As TV Insider reports, Larroquette is the only actor from the original series to return in a regular role (and is also one of the show’s producers).
As more than 30 years have passed since we last saw the antics of Night Court play out, a lot has changed. Dan Fielding has switched over to the other side and is now acting as a public defender and his womanizing ways appear to be behind him. According to Screen Rant:
As the Night Court reboot pilot opens, Dan makes reference to having had a wife in the past tense, though it is unclear if he is divorced or a widower. He is also in a deep funk, having given up practicing the law to work as a process server. However, Abby’s appearance on his doorstep brings him back into action, this time as a defense attorney in her court.
The aforementioned Abby is Rauch as Abby Stone — the daughter of Anderson’s Harry Stone — who has recently been tasked with overseeing the same courtroom her father once presided over.
You can watch a preview of the series below:
Night Court is on NBC Tuesdays at 8/7c and airs the next day on Peacock.
There are few players in the NBA that jump higher on their shot than Russell Westbrook, and on Wednesday we saw one of the possible benefits of that extra high jumper when he decided, mid-shot, he didn’t want to shoot anymore and had time to just rifle the ball off of Kevin Huerter’s chest to get the ball back and keep the possession alive.
It’s a hysterical play and something that only Russ would do. Why he decided not to shoot it is anyone’s guess, as Huerter’s not even contesting him on the shot (because, well, why would you contest a Westbrook three late). Even with Huerter just standing on the ground, he’s still not expecting to have the ball chucked at him and it works out to get Russ the ball back and continue the possession to the confusion of everyone — including the camera operator, who pans out for the shot before having to scramble back as the ball bounds off Huerter.
We see this kind of thing happen fairly regularly with a player trying to save the ball from going out of bounds by launching it off a defender, but this may be the first time that’s been used to abort a shot attempt.
Snail Mail unveiled Valentine in 2021 as the follow-up to her beloved debut Lush. “I wanted to take as much time as possible with this record to make sure I was happy with every detail before unleashing it unto y’all,” she said at the time. “Referring to the process as the deepest level of catharsis and therapy I have ever experienced would be a huge understatement. Valentine is my child!”
She’s brought those songs on tours since then, including a killer run with Turnstile and Jpegmafia last year. She’s hitting the road again after announcing a tour today following the announcement of her five-day Valentine Fest. After the fest in Baltimore, it’ll hit Iowa City next and end in Queens, NY at Governor’s Ball.
