Welcome to "The DeepSlant Week In Review." It's just like John Harris's observations in the sense that they are observations, except with cartoons.
Â
The iPhone 7 released this week and who cares, right?
Â
THE AFC DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK, THAT'S WHO!
Â
Â
I'm pretty sure Whitney wasn't one of the people camped outside the Highland Village Apple store when I drove by it last night. But, after three straight games with multiple sacks (including the postseason), he deserves to treat himself. Right?
Â
Â
What's even more rare than an iPhone 7 on the day after it's released?
Â
This.Â

Â
It's a miniature DeAndre Hopkins! The life-size version told me he received it during Super Bowl week from some people whoâŠto be honest, I wasn't really paying attention because oh wow look at the detail on the accessories and oh look there's even the imprint of a wallet in the back pocket and seriously, how do they make these things look SO LIFE-LIKE?
Â

Before you ask, the answer is no. You can't have one. This is the only one and he sits above DeAndre's locker watching.
Â
Only one.
Â
As in the number of persons and/or cartoon characters I knew who played clarinet.
Â

Until this week. Now I know of Squidward plus defensive end Christian Covington.
Â
Covington blew the dust of his clarinet and played a very, non-footballish tune on NFL Network's "Good Morning Football" show this week. They seemed amazed that someone could play football and have a musical talent.Â
Â
Wait until they see Charles James on (shameless plug coming) the brand-new "Texans Buzz" Saturday night on ABC-13 at 11 p.m. after the late local news.Â
Â
Â
It's so fresh and clean and you will be too. After all, you won't have to camp outside an Apple store all night to watch it.
Â
Until next week!
