Yoga Teacher Killer: A Look Into Kaitlin Armstrong's Path to Murder
I remember this story very well, mainly because of the insanity involved at the tail end. Honestly, it sounds like something from a movie, yet despite figuring that Lifetime would do a movie about this, I expected a long wait. After all, there are still some "women who kill" stories that still need to be played out on Lifetime. Yet the wait wasn't that long (I guess watching all of that sports helped). Before I talk about Lifetime's movie, here's a look at the true crime story about Kaitlin Armstrong.

Stanley Cup Final Game Four: Change of Plans
Sooooo... that just happened. The Stanley Cup was in the building in Edmonton for Game Four of this year's Final. The Florida Panthers were all set to complete the sweep and capture the Cup for the first time in their franchise history. They shut down the Oilers in the first two games, and Game Three was a hard fought battle won by the Panthers. All signs pointed to the Panthers taking Lord Stanley back to the Sunshine State.

Finals Game Four: Brooms Broken
A strange rarity hit the sports world entering Game Four of this year's NBA Finals: both the NBA and Stanley Cup Finals stood at 3-0. The last time we saw a sweep in the Stanley Cup Final was 1998. The last time we saw a sweep in the NBA Finals was 2018, much more recent than the NHL. The last time we saw sweeps in both in the same year, you have to go all the way back to 1995. That year, the Houston Rockets swept the Orlando Magic to repeat as NBA Champions, and the New Jersey Devils swept the Detroit Red Wings to win their very first Stanley Cup.

2024 Stanley Cup Final Preview
It's here, folks! The greatest finale in sports has arrived! The Stanley Cup Final is always such a spectacular phenomenon. I always love the Final regardless of who is in it; I love it so much that I often have to remind myself that it's the end--the end of a spectacular season of the greatest sport in the universe. 32 teams begin their quest, but only 16 of them can qualify for the big dance. When the dust settles after nearly two months, two teams remain in the battle for the greatest trophy in all of sports, the Stanley Cup.

Friz Freleng's Strange Case of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde"
I'm a huge, and I mean huge fan and enthusiast of the Looney Tunes cartoons. I've watched the shorts religiously for close to 35 years, I have the various DVDs--hell, I've even created some DVDs. There was always something magical about the Looney Tunes. Whether it's the wackiness, the dialogue, the storylines, or Mel Blanc's iconic voicework, one thing's for sure: there's nothing like the Looney Tunes.

What Went Wrong: The Stars at Night are Big and Bright...but NOT During the West Final
You know, I have a knack for exposing frauds in sports. That knack isn't limited to the NHL, it's in all leagues. I've used that word quite a bit as a hockey fan. I've used that word to describe the Boston Bruins big time, the Florida Panthers (though they keep getting long runs somehow), and this year pretty much showed us that the Winnipeg Jets are in that "fraud" category. I have never used that word to describe the Dallas Stars.

What Went Wrong: Tommy Had a Candle--What's YOUR Excuse?!
Boy, did you guys blow it! Let's face facts, the New York Rangers had the easiest chance to reach the Stanley Cup Final. Their road to the Eastern Conference Final was easy, but could have been easier. They started 7-0 in this year's playoffs, similar to 1994 (we know what happened back then). Yet they lost Games Four and Five against the Carolina Hurricanes, and were actually on the verge of losing Game Six and causing "reverse sweep" talks to start. Thankfully, Chris Kreider decided to become superhuman in that third period.

Lethal Nightmare Fuel. Top Story - June 2024.
For Sandra Hawthorne, she was supposed to be just mere days away from what would be the happiest day in her life. For three years, Sandra had been dating the love of her life, Anthony Farley, and it was after all that time that Anthony popped the question. The proverbial knot was set to be tied after a year of planning, but instead of enjoying wedded bliss, Sandra had spent the last three days in the hospital.

The Kansas City Chiefs: It's Always Something
Remember when I said that this team was a likable version of the New England Patriots dynasty? Yeah...about that. So to say that the Kansas City Chiefs have had an...interesting offseason would be an understatement. They say, "Heavy is the head that wears the crown," but come on. This is no excuse for the way some of their players have been acting. Though, this isn't the first time there's been drama with the Chiefs; we all remember Tyreek Hill's legal problems, which (I believe) led them to move on from him, and they've won back-to-back Super Bowls since then. However, in the time that's passed since the Chiefs won Super Bowl LVIII, the drama is doing the same thing that Joe Burrow's done: own the Chiefs.

PWHL Finals Game Five: Her-story Achieved
It's been an amazing inaugural season of the Professional Women's Hockey League, and it came to a spectacular end on a Wednesday evening. Six teams fought for the honor of becoming the league's first-ever champions, and it came down to two teams: PWHL Boston and PWHL Minnesota. Game One went Boston's way, but Minnesota took Games Two and Three of the best-of-five Finals. Minnesota thought they had won the whole thing in double overtime of Game Four, but goalie interference prevented that. Boston would win just over a minute later, and as a result, the first-ever PWHL Finals came down to one final game.

PWHL Finals Game Four: Wild, Crazy, and Controversial
Oooooh, what a game! So the PWHL Finals had seen a lot in the first three games, but none of us expected what would go down in Game Four. Here's the stage. It's Game Four in Minnesota. The Minnesota team is up 2-1 in the best-of-five Finals. They have a chance to finish it; bring home a pro hockey championship to the State of Hockey in front of their home fans. The Walter Cup was in the building. Here's what went down.

Villainess Review: Ms. Valenti (Are You Afraid of the Dark?)
Who remembers Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Nickelodeon's hit horror anthology series? Horror/suspense anthology series have been a thing since the late 1950/early 1960s, and it got turned up in the 1980s and the 1990s with shows like Tales from the Darkside, Monsters, and Tales from the Crypt. It was in the 1990s that we received the kid-friendly versions, and that's where Are You Afraid of the Dark? came in.
