2025 Wild Card Series Preview
It's here, folks! The 2025 Major League Baseball Postseason is here! I'm always fascinated by the placement of each league's playoffs and championships--chronologically, that is. The NFL's playoffs and Super Bowl kick off the calendar year in January and February, the Stanley Cup and NBA Playoffs both start in April, and each champion is crowned in June. In baseball, the postseason and championship occur in October, though in this case, it actually begins in the final day of September, and the World Series is set to last as late as the first day of November.

The 40-40 Club
Nearly every NFL fan had this game circled on their schedule. It was a big event even when the schedule was announced in May. After all, it's the Green Bay Packers and the Dallas Cowboys. A huge clash between conference rivals; between two teams who had been each other's biggest non-division rivals for six decades.

Top 5 "Cobra Kai" Actresses Who Need to Play a Lifetime Movie Villainess (At Least Once)
During most of the final week of September, I did two things that I really enjoyed. One, I watched and followed the final push for the postseason in baseball, and two, I engaged in a mega Karate Kid/Cobra Kai binge. The reason was obvious: Karate Kid: Legends, the latest installment of the franchise that started back in 1984, hit Netflix on September 27, 2025, barely over four months after it hit theaters. The film brought back Jackie Can as Mr. Han, from the 2010 film, and of course, Ralph Macchio once again reprised his role as Daniel LaRusso.

CFL Week 16 Recap: Out of Time
Major League Baseball isn't the only league preparing for the end. The Canadian Football League's home stretch is progressing, and so far, the playoff chase has been thrilling. Week 15 saw the Saskatchewan Roughriders become the first to get into the 112th Grey Cup Playoffs, but Week 16 saw another team with a chance to join that playoff party.

MLB Pennant Race 2025: 160, 161, and 162
Three days. We are now down to the final weekend of the 2025 Major League Baseball season. All good things often come to an end, and in sports, the endings are often quite thrilling. Regarding regular season finales, it seems to me that the NFL and MLB seem to excel in this; the former due to the powers that be making changes to the schedule that pretty much guarantees a thrilling final week of the season, while the latter seems to have at least one close race come down to the 160th-162nd (or in some cases, 163rd, until the end of 2021) games of the regular season.

NFL Week 3 Recap: Cacophony
There's some big trouble in South Beach right now. So, Week 3 of the 2025 season started with the Buffalo Bills hosting the Miami Dolphins, and when I saw this in the schedule, I went, "Again?" This is the second straight year that this matchup is featured so early on TNF; last year, it was Prime's first game of the season. However, I kinda cringed this year because last year's TNF matchup saw Tua lit up and concussed again. Another reason why I cringed is because the Dolphins look absolutely horrid to start the season.

"Beyond the Gates" Week 27 & 28 Review
The month of September has been a wild one for sure. I myself have been focused on the incoming NFL season and the chaos of the final month of baseball, but Beyond the Gates remained in my mind, especially since August ended with Chelsea held captive by psycho Allison. Of course, as I mentioned in the Week 26 recap, the month of September started off with yet another hiatus--September 1-5 were full of reruns. My goodness.

MLB Pennant Race 2025: 168 Hours
March 18, 2025. My 4oth birthday. It was also when the 2025 Major League Baseball regular season started with the first of the back-to-back games in Japan. Here it is, just over six months later, and we baseball fans are preparing for the end. We now have just one week, seven short days left in this insane season. A week isn't a lot of time, but in that little time, the rest of the postseason picture will be filled in. And this season, there's still quite a lot to figure out.

Explaining My Thoughts and Concerns for the Upcoming 51st Season of "Saturday Night Live"
I've known about Saturday Night Live since I was a kid, and it wasn't until my early teens that I started watching on NBC. By then, the known core group wasn't there anymore. People like Adam Sandler, David Spade, and Chris Rock were out of there and doing other things. On a sad note, SNL legends like Chris Farley and Phil Hartman left this world; the latter in the near end of 1997 and the former just five months later.

CFL Week 15 Recap: The Home Stretch Begins
See that beautiful baby? That, folks, is the Grey Cup (Coupe Grey in French). That's the trophy that nine teams playing across Canada are vying to capture. After 14 weeks, the 2025 CFL season is down to the final one-third of the season, the final seven weeks. It's amazing how symmetrical the CFL season is. Similar to how the NFL season could easily be divided into three six-week increments, the CFL season can be split into three seven-week periods. Even more amazing is that each third has a holiday featured. The first block has Canada Day. The heart of the season has Labour Day, and the home stretch has Canadian Thanksgiving.

Simpsons Review: "Who Shot Mr. Burns?"
Doesn't seem like it's been 30 years, hasn't it? I remember this like it was yesterday. So the episode starts off... somewhat innocently. The class hamster, named Superdude, sadly passes on. Groundskeeper Willie buries the hamster, while venting about his father's burial, but all of a sudden, Willie inadvertently digs up some gold. Black gold. Texas tea.

A Deep Look at "Hogan's Heroes"
I had actually been sitting on any stories about this for a long while. I had patiently waited for the right time to discuss this classic sitcom, and then, I finally decided bout a month or so ago, I decided that the perfect time would be the anniversary of the show's premiere. The 60th anniversary, to be exact.
