2023 Mid-Season Heisman Rankings




1. Caleb Williams (USC):

  • Despite a close call against Arizona, Caleb Williams is still the golden boy of the USC Trojans. He's been the heart and soul of a team with a defense that's looser than a backpack on a rollercoaster. If he can avoid any more "almost lost" moments, he might just become the golden Heisman boy too.

2. Michael Penix (Washington):

  • Michael Penix, the man with a name that sounds like it belongs on a private detective novel, has been chilling on the sidelines. But when he's on the field, he slings the pigskin like a seasoned barbecue chef flipping burgers. Watch out, Oregon; Penix is coming for you, and he's got that Heisman scent in his nostrils.

3. Jayden Daniels (LSU):

  • Jayden Daniels is like a magician, making defenses disappear with his arm and his legs. Unfortunately, the LSU Tigers have seen their fair share of regular-season losses lately. But hey, Daniels might just pull a rabbit out of the hat and win the Heisman.

4. Drake Maye (North Carolina):

  • Drake Maye had a quiet start to the season, but he roared to life like a North Carolina hurricane against Syracuse. With 442 passing yards and three touchdowns, he showed he's more than a backup singer in the Heisman choir. Keep your eyes on this Tar Heel.

5. Bo Nix (Oregon):

  • Bo Nix is like a fine wine; he's getting better with age. With a week off, he's had time to prepare for Washington. If he can uncork a performance against the Huskies like a seasoned sommelier, he might just toast to a Heisman victory.

Others:

Dillon Gabriel (Oklahoma):

  • Gabriel was the leading man in Oklahoma's Red River Rivalry win. If he can keep delivering performances like that, he might just be the star of the Heisman show.

Marvin Harrison Jr. (Ohio State):

  • Marvin Harrison Jr., with a name as legendary as his dad's, is making a name for himself. He's catching passes like they're hot potatoes at a family picnic. Watch out, opposing defenses; you're in for a "catching" headache.

Brock Bowers (Georgia):

  • Tight ends winning the Heisman is rarer than finding a unicorn riding a rainbow. But Brock Bowers keeps putting up numbers that even wide receivers would envy. If he keeps it up, who knows? Unicorns might not be that elusive after all.

Cam Ward (Washington State):

  • Cam Ward's game against UCLA wasn't his best, but he's a wizard with the football. If he can conjure up some magical performances in the coming weeks, he might just make Washington State believers in Heisman miracles.

Quinn Ewers (Texas):

  • Quinn Ewers, the freshman sensation with flowing locks of hair, is ready to liven up the Heisman race. He's got a few hurdles to overcome, but hey, every good story needs a plot twist, right?

Killers of the Flower Moon: Scorsese, De Niro, and DiCaprio Reunited…for Eternity

Image
     I n "Killers of the Flower Moon," Martin Scorsese returns to his epic storytelling ways. And by epic, I mean "Let's make a movie so long that even Methuselah would ask for an intermission." That's right, folks, the only thing longer than the film's runtime is the anticipation to see the holy trinity of Scorsese, De Niro, and DiCaprio reuniting again. The film opens with a reminder that Scorsese is not just a director; he's a time lord who effortlessly bends minutes and hours to his will. At a whopping three and a half hours, you better pack a snack, a catheter, and possibly a change of clothes. "Killers of the Flower Moon" is so long that by the time the end credits roll, you'll be able to boast that you've aged faster than the cast of "The Irishman" under those de-aging CGI effects. Now, let's talk about the reunion of Scorsese, De Niro, and DiCaprio. It's like the Super Bowl of cinema collaborations, except ...

"Dumb Money" - A Shockingly Hilarious Investment

Image
  Rating: ★★★★☆ (3.5/5) If you ever thought investing in a video game store during a financial frenzy was pure lunacy, you clearly haven't seen "Dumb Money." This film is like that one guy who decides to run through a lightning storm with his pants down – utterly ridiculous, oddly exhilarating, and you can't help but watch in awe. "Dumb Money" is the kind of movie that reminds us why cinema exists in the first place: to tell crazy, unpredictable, and outrageously true stories. Director Craig Gillespie and the brilliant writing duo, Lauren Schuker Blum and Rebecca Angelo, take the audience on a rollercoaster ride through the wild world of Wall Street's underbelly, with their pants on their heads (figuratively speaking, of course). At its core, "Dumb Money" is a modern David vs. Goliath tale for the meme generation. It's a story that unfolds when a bunch of ordinary folks decides to flip off the Wall Street elite and their big-time hedge fund...
