The Power of Jordan Love (NFC North Preview)
Ah, the NFC North. What an absolutely beautiful and chaotic disaster! I absolutely love the NFC North, and no, it's not just because I'm a Packers fan. The division is rich with history--at least six decades of rivalries. In addition, all of the teams are in cold weather cities, though two of them play in domes. The NFC North is basically the original NFC Central (before the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were placed in the old Central in 1978 until 2001), and as I said, it's an absolutely beautiful and chaotic disaster.

CFL Week 7 Recap: Tiger-Cat Strut
It has not been easy to be a Toronto Argonauts fan in 2024. We had to start the season dealing with the fact that our QB, Chad Kelly, is out of his damned mind. So Cameron Dukes took the helm, and it's been...decent. We've had our ups and downs, but we are coming off a big up: handing the Montréal Alouettes their first loss of the season. Spectacular! The Argos were in Hamilton for the first meeting of the season against the Tiger-Cats, a big rivalry game. Now, even though the TiCats entered the week with no wins, there's no such thing as an easy win in the Canadian Football League. Plus, it's a rivalry game. Even so, I figured the Argos would be up to the challenge.

Power Rangers Review: "Green No More"
You know, when the Green Ranger first departed, I was not happy. I was just beginning to really enjoy seeing him, and then, gone. However, I did take Green Ranger's second departure better than the first. The reason was simple: when Tommy was out of the Rangers the first time, something could have been done to prevent it. Regarding this time? No. There was no way out for Tommy as the Green Ranger, and even at the age of nine, I knew this.

Villainess Review: Bridget Stone (Death Down the Aisle)
I've watched these amazing Lifetime thrillers for over twenty years, and while I have marveled over how they've evolved over the years, there's one thing I learned a number of years ago: when it comes to villainesses, the best ones come during playoff time. By that, I mean, Lifetime films that air during the playoffs of any sport seem to deliver the most amazing villainesses, and in my recent experiences, the real good ones come between April and June (Stanley Cup and NBA Playoff time). Even the month of March (the month before it all starts) gives us some good ones.

A Brotherly Shove in the Right Direction (NFC East Preview)
The American Football Conference's division previews are done. Now for the real fun. The National Football Conference, as a whole, has been a bit of a shitshow in recent years, and I'm here for it. It's been messy, it's been chaotic, and it's been absolutely hideous. It's wonderfully perfect. Even now, I still fondly remember the big train wreck known as the 2023 NFC playoff race, and as great as last year's mess was, I expect this year to be even crazier.

Power Rangers Review: "The Mutiny: Part III"
This landmark special arc began with a huge bang: the debut of Lord Zedd. Part I saw Zedd eject Rita Repulsa from the moon palace due to her numerous failures to defeat the Power Rangers, and it ended with Zedd releasing the Pirantishead monster, who froze four of the five Dinozords. Things were turned up in Part II, as Pirantishead placed Tyrannosaurus and Dragonzord under his evil control, resulting in Zordon presenting brand new Zords to the Rangers: the Thunderzords.

Power Rangers Review: "The Mutiny: Part II"
Even now, 30 years later, I still fondly remember this three-part arc that kicked off the second season of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. It was absolutely epic, legendary, and iconic for sure, and every time I rewatch all three parts, my inner nine-year-old beams with joy. Part I, of course, featured the debut of Lord Zedd, who was the higher-up of Rita Repulsa and her minions. Within moments, he ejected Rita from the palace due to her constant failure to defeat the Power Rangers, all while Goldar, in the immortal words of the late, great Godfather of Soul himself, "sold her out for chicken change."

Power Rangers Review: "The Mutiny: Part I"
In such a short time, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers became the ultimate kids' program on Fox, airing original episodes six days a week and gaining an immense following. I was eight years old when this whole thing started, and I was hooked even before I turned nine. The episodes were a hit, the toys were selling like hotcakes. It was official: the Power Rangers were a phenomenon.

Three-Peat on the Horizon? (AFC West Preview)
Ah, the AFC West, aka Patrick Mahomes' torture chamber. I joke, but honestly, if the rest of the division had any gumption, I wouldn't call it that. In all seriousness, while the AFC West now appears to resemble what the AFC East was when Brady was with the Patriots, there is potential in all four teams. We saw some real big time tension in the final weeks of the division, which tells me that the AFC West can be interesting when it wants to be.

The Immensely Interesting Career of Shannen Doherty
An immensely heartbreaking weekend full of tragic celebrity passings sadly includes the always amazing Shannen Doherty. On July 13, 2024, Shannen Doherty passed away at the age of 53, after battling breast cancer for nine years, having first been diagnosed back in 2015. She continued to work steadily during her illness, which had been in remission, only to return in 2020 and spread out in 2023.
