CFL Week 10 Recap: Deadlock
I absolutely, positively, love this league! So Week 10 kicked off with a meeting between the Saskatchewan Roughriders and the Ottawa Redblacks, and it was slow at first. Scoreless after one and only 3-3 at the half. Ottawa led 7-3 entering the fourth. Then the scoring picked up in the fourth, but the result saw nothing settled after sixty minutes. 13-13 after regulation. We get CFL overtime! Ottawa had the first possession, and it results in touchdown. Oh boy. By rule, no extra points, two point conversions are mandatory in OT. The Redblacks' conversion fails. This means the Riders can win it with an eight-point touchdown, and here's where the insanity starts. Ottawa commits defensive pass interference, doesn't get called. Challenge is made, call overturned. OT continues, Riders score! Two-pointer fails.

A Look at the 1947 Chicago Cardinals
Amazing how close we are to the start of the NFL season. We are just over three weeks away, and preseason in the early stages. Also amazing is that the Super Bowl is closing in on celebrating 60 years; next year will be Super Bowl LX, but this year, it's Super Bowl LIX in Las Vegas. The NFL has evolved over the years in regards to crowning a champion, but there have been many memorable champions in the over 100 year history of the National Football League.

How Difficult is it to Three-Peat?
It's been said that it's hard to win one championship, and it is. However, winning that big one is an amazing feat. Winning back-to-back, that's even better. I've seen my share of back-to-back defending champions in sports, and that's a big moment to enter the season having been on top for two years straight. Of course, winning back-to-back is called a repeat. If a third one follows, we have the iconic "three-peat."

The Eleventh Day of the Eighth Month. Top Story - August 2024.
August 11, 2014. Around 3:30PM Pacific Standard Time. I was on Twitter, just looking around. Then I read it. I wish I could forget it. "Robin Williams has died." My first thought: "Please let this be some sick hoax." Dead serious, those were the words that entered my mind.

Stating the Obvious: The Chicago White Sox SUCK!
Today's Vocal sports story is brought to you by the letters W, T, and F. Seriously, what the hell happened to the Chicago White Sox?! I have been considering writing about this team for a while, because, well, all of this needs to be stated. I was waiting for the right time to address this. One plan involved writing this once this team reached loss #100. The other, addressing this if their losing streak reached 20 games. I didn't think the other option would happen, even though the streak reached 19. Surely, this team wouldn't lose 20 in a row, right?

Reviewing Every Villainess from Lifetime's "Secrets on Maple Street" Trilogy
I've watched Lifetime's captivating thrillers for about a quarter-century now, and I've seen so much happen in these films. While I've enjoyed them all so much, I have to say that this recent trilogy of films has to be the best thing they've done. I was so excited for these films, because I knew we'd receive some good twists, an amazing pace, and I figured we'd see some amazing villainesses.

Not a Purdy Sight (NFC West Preview)
The NFC West never fails to please this humble football fan. I still remember the old geographically incorrect NFC West from my childhood and teenage years, and this current version that has existed since 2002 remains every bit as captivating. I've always been fascinated with this division, and it increased in 2016, when the Rams returned to Los Angeles. Because I live in SoCal, I get to see this madness on my TV a lot, due to location, and also due to how strong the Niners are.

CFL Week 8 Recap: The Rabbit Hole
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers are officially screwed. Saturday's contest between the Blue Bombers and the Toronto Argonauts was close and hotly contested, but in true "appearances can be deceiving manner," this was in spite of the Bombers committing turnovers left and right--four of them, five if you count a crucial one on downs when the Bombers were deep in field goal range. The game ended up going to overtime, which was good, because the Argos needed this one. Plus, CFL overtime is always fun, because anything can happen.

A Look Back at "Garfield and Friends"
This is a bit emotional for me. One of my earliest memories of watching anything animated was tuning in to Garfield and Friends every Saturday morning. I was only five years old when I first learned about Garfield. Even now, 34 years later, I have such fond memories of enjoying that show for the entire hour it was on. Here's how this phenomenon began.

Birds of Prey (NFC South Preview)
You know how people love watching NASCAR for the crashes? And how people love watching hockey for the fights? Also, you know that movie or show that is absolutely awful, yet you can't bring yourself to get away from it? That's the NFC South. The NFC South has been the trainwreck of trainwrecks for the last two seasons now. In each of the last two years, it's only taken nine wins to take the division, and the team leading the division has had a losing record two-thirds into the season both times.
