Friday morning. It’s been a long week but you are almost there. Just a few more calls, one more meeting and then the weekend and freedom awaits. We know you need a little extra boost to get you through the final day of the workweek and luckily, Poker Central and Death Wish Coffee have you covered. The world’s strongest coffee gives you a “Morning Perk,” bringing you the best of the internet from the past week.

“Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”

The internet wasn’t around when Ferris Bueller gave everyone the perfect high school yearbook quote but his words are just as powerful today as they were in the late 80’s. The internet, more often than not, moves faster than life itself and while we’re sure we missed some of it, these were our favorites from the past week.

When the first Season 7 Game of Thrones sneak peek hit the internet in March, I said my mind was spinning and it is spinning again since the most recent GOT trailer debuted Wednesday. The possibilities of this season are seemingly endless, with three lead characters in contention to end up on the Iron Throne. I’m still #TeamSnow but can you really bet against dragons?! The great war begins this July and with GOT and live streams of the WSOP Main Event running simultaneously, I may not make it out of the summer alive.

From an empire divided to a city that is usually divided. Manchester United and Manchester City fly opposite colors and have been hated rivals for the better part of the last few decades but this week, both teams came together. United and City pledged to donate $1,000,000 to the We Love Manchester Emergency Fund in the wake of Monday’s terrorist attack that rocked the English city. This is just another example of why everyone should love sports.

I’m not saying that I know everything that goes on in Vegas but I stay up to date on most of Sin City’s nonsense. While I’ll never miss a Two Chainz concert at 1Oak, the Golden Tee World Championships weren’t on my immediate radar this past weekend. Mark Stenmark of Houston, TX won this year’s event, earning $10,000 and a character in next year’s game and because everyone loves live streams, the entire seven-hour broadcast from last weekend is above!

The Price is Right seems to spit out viral clips every few months and while one has yet to grace the “Morning Perk,” we knew it couldn’t have been long. Enter stage left, Ryan, who could be the world’s greatest Plinko player. Ryan smashed the famous The Price is Right game for $31,000 and seems to have the entire studio audience chanting his name at one point. Ryan would have won the week if it had not been for…

Rob Gronkowski restructured his contract to become the NFL’s highest-paid tight end this week and then pops up in a music video with bikini wearing models. Yup, Gronk wins this week.
