Week 4 Preview and Picks! | The Mina Kimes Show Featuring Lenny
Sheil Kapadia was the guest, and the assignment was the entire weekend. The newest episode of The Mina Kimes Show featuring Lenny goes through all sixteen Week 4 games in order, from Steelers at Browns to Falcons at Saints, then ends with the two of them picking every one.
Sixteen hours after it went up, the episode had drawn more than 46,000 views. That puts it on course for roughly fifteen times what a new video on the channel usually finds in its first day. Two days earlier, as we reported here, her Bears-Eagles recap had a fast morning of its own. This one ran further.
Kapadia has covered the league for years, at The Athletic and The Ringer among other places, and the chapter list shows where the two of them lingered. Rams at Eagles and Broncos at 49ers each get close to nine minutes. Patriots at Bills is done in under three.
The comments look more like a group chat than a review. Several viewers noticed Kimes's Colombia soccer jersey. One keeps a running ledger of her picks and her guests' picks across the season. Others thank her for bringing in new voices, a few of them naming Dominique, an earlier guest. And a handful are having fun with "George Kibble," which seems to have been a slip on the name of the 49ers' George Kittle.
The rest of her week was just as crowded. On First Take she told Stephen A. Smith that Dallas's defense should take the blame if the Cowboys falter. On Viewer Discretion, her TV recap show, she went through Lanterns with David Dennis Jr. and The Traitors: New Blood with Charlie Kravitz. Her channel bio sums up the argument she is best known for: wins are not a QB stat.
