CFL Week 19 Recap: All of the Pieces Fit
Well, it wasn't easy, but the Toronto Argonauts are playoff bound. It's been a rough season full of inconsistent play and drama from one of our QBs, but Week 19, Canadian Thanksgiving Weekend, started with the Boatmen sailing our way to this year's Grey Cup Playoffs. We needed a win or tie to get it done, and the Argos won a close and ugly thriller against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, 14-11. It's crazy. We couldn't beat the Hamilton Tiger-Cats this season, yet we have four total wins against last year's Grey Cup finalists.

78 Games to Go
This can be fixed. This really can. This was the third game of the Colorado Avalanche's homestand, and so far, home ice hasn't cured our ills. We're still undermanned, we're still shaky, and we are still in unfamiliar negative territory. Nevertheless, we attempt to persevere. The Avs were visited by the Boston Bruins, and it was still Alexandar Georgiev in net against Joonas Korpisalo. The game was actually quiet, and trust me, we did need some quiet. It was still scoreless halfway through the opening frame, but Cole Koepke changed that in the 14th minute.

A Widow's Shocking Discovery
There was only one rule: don’t open the door. Those last four words stayed on the mind of Sandy Baxter as she mourned the love of her life, Camille Silver. Sandy and Camille were married for 12 years, and Sandy remembered that Camille was pretty persistent during their first meeting. Sandy loved Camille's persistence, so much so that she accepted Camille's proposal even after only five months of dating.

Home is Where the MVPs Are
As the saying goes, "You only have one chance to make your first impression." Regarding the 2024-25 NHL season, the Colorado Avalanche's first impression was a shaky one. On the bright side, Mikko Rantanen started the season with a hat trick. On the other hand, goaltending has been the key problem. Seven goals against, five of them from Alexander Georgiev. That has Avs fans in an unreasonable tizzy. It's Game One. There's 81 of these things to go. Give it time.

2024 League Championship Series Preview
Here we go, folks! The League Championship Series has arrived! I've said this many times before, I always love the semifinal rounds in sports, that last round before the big one. In the NBA and NHL, it's the Conference Finals, the NFL has the Conference Championship, and MLB has the League Championship Series. The LCS was created in 1969 as a result of the American and National Leagues splitting into two divisions, East and West, which was the result of the growing expansion and relocation in the 1960s.

Ruda
There was only one rule: don’t open the door. That was the rule that was given to Andrea Marsh, a reporter who was interviewing police captain Regina Mendez, who gained a lot of acclaim for taking down a massive bank robbing ring. The group consisted of two men and two women and was led by a mysterious masked criminal simply known as "La Reina." The cohorts were all arrested with the exception of La Reina, who has been in hiding since the arrests.

What Went Wrong: Midnight Strikes
We all love Cinderella teams, don't we? We see it a lot; those teams who no one thought would make it. The teams who weren't supposed to even get to the dance--get there, and make something of it. Teams who go from rags to riches in little time, but at times, the clock can and does strike midnight on those teams. The "Cinderella" nickname for those teams is usually heard during March Madness; those really low seeds (usually 12-16 seeds) who catch lightning in a bottle and go on a run. We have seen it on the professional level as well. #8 in basketball and hockey going all the way to the 'ship--and winning it, the lowest seeds in football making a decent run, and yes, the Wild Cards who go on to win the World Series.

What Went Wrong: Padres Come Up Short in NLDS Thriller
The San Diego Padres have a knack for making things interesting. This year was no different. The Padres had another amazing season that saw them go toe-to-toe with the Los Angeles Dodgers for the National League West, but while the Dodgers did go on to win the West, the Padres did snag one of the National League's three Wild Card spots. The Padres snagged the 1st Wild Card position, giving them homefield in their series against an Atlanta Braves team that persevered despite being ravaged with injuries.

CFL Week 18 Recap: All Coming Together
The month of October is a pivotal one in the Canadian Football League. It is the final month before the playoffs start, and of course, the format sees the top three teams in each division qualify. The first place teams get byes straight to the Division Finals, while the other two teams meet in the Division Semifinals. As a result, three teams will see their seasons end early. Entering Week 18, only two teams got in: the Montréal Alouettes and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. The Alouettes locked up 1st place in the East and will host the Eastern Final, while the Bombers were looking to do the same out West.

What Went Wrong: Witt-less
The 2024 Kansas City Royals' season has to be up there as one of the biggest turnarounds in baseball history. Think about it. Last year, this team lost 106 games. Worst record in baseball. They caught lightning in a bottle this year, and ended up winning 86 games--a 30-game improvement from last year. The Royals were in the playoff race from jumpstreet, and got in during the final week of the season, an absolutely amazing feat.
