Week 16 NFC Thursday & Saturday Recap: Shaping Up and Shipping Out
Week 16 begins that do-or-die period of the NFL season; the period where many teams are running out of time for the most important things. It's also the first taste of Saturday NFL action, but before we get to that, we have to start from the beginning of the week. Thursday Night Football was a battle in the NFC West between the Los Angeles Rams and the Seattle Seahawks, who entered the contest tied for not only first place in the division, but also first place in the conference.

Looney Tunes Review: "Duck Dodgers in the 24½th Century"
As a kid, you think of cartoons as being wholly comedic, but as you get older, you see more depth into your favorite cartoon shorts. Yes, the comedy's there, but there's also action, there's drama, and in some cases, tragedy. Chuck Jones had a knack for being well-rounded with his creations. His cartoons spanned a number of different genres, but the comedy is often there. One such short of Jones' that stood out among many others: the heavily acclaimed Duck Dodgers in the 24½th Century.

At Least You Have Hockey Again, Detroit? (NFC Week 16)
It's always the National Football Conference that has more insanity than the American Football Conference, isn't it? I am speaking as a Packers fan who has seen us involved in the most insane scenarios, while also benefitting from them at times, but even if I was a fan of an AFC team, I'd say this. The AFC scenarios for Week 16 are wild, but the ones for the NFC are borderline psychotic.

Rocky Mountain High (AFC Week 16)
I figured this would happen. Week 15 saw three teams with a chance to clinch spots. Two of them did. Because that was the first week to have actual clinching scenarios, and also because 13 teams have been officially eliminated already, guess what? We have a lot of scenarios in Week 16. Nine teams can clinch spots this week! Nine! And for those who know my writing on Vocal, you know what that means. Split stories by conference this week.

NFL Week 15 Recap: Tickets Punched
The NFL fandom celebrated one big elimination this week, but under that headline was something more positive: the first clinching scenarios of the season. Two teams had "win and in" scenarios, and one of them was the Los Angeles Rams. The Rams hosted the Detroit Lions, serving as the "Game of the Week" during the late window. I figured that this game would deliver big time; the Lions and Rams both have strong offenses, and it showed.

Thank You, John Cena. Top Story - December 2025.
When December 13, 2025 arrived, I welcomed it. I welcomed it with open arms. The reason was simple: I wanted to see how John Felix Anthony Cena, Jr, someone who I've been a fan of for over 20 years, would end his iconic and legendary career.

What Went Wrong: Sic Semper Tyrannis
It happened. It actually, by God, happened. When an insufferable entity is taken down in sports, fans who have hate-watched said entity go through a number of stages. Denial's usually the first one, and it's not the "That didn't happen" denial, it's usually the "Is it real?" denial. Then comes the acceptance, and finally, the joy. The immense, immense joy. We've seen many instances of this in sports over the years, but this one clearly has to top a lot of them. And I'm speaking as a Yankees fan who enjoyed the news that the Houston Astros were eliminated.

The REAL Great Eight
The Colorado Avalanche's four game road trip was quite interesting, to say the least. The trip started in NYC, with games against the Islanders and Rangers. The Isles were first, and they did something no one else had done all season: they took it to the Avalanche. The Avs were soundly defeated, 6-3, the first time we lost by more than one goal, and our second regulation loss all season. As the saying goes, it's how you respond to these fallbacks that makes the difference, and we responded with a clutch overtime win at MSG.

Welcome to the Party, Pal! (Week 15)
We are now in the very pivotal stage of the season. No more bye weeks. Everyone plays. We are one week away from Saturday NFL action. Week 15 brings the season into mid-December; about two weeks away from Christmas, but very important. While some NFL teams look to get into the playoffs, in some fantasy football leagues, it is playoff time.

Three Divisions, Two Battling Teams Each, One Wild Sunday
Week 14 of the NFL season officially brought the sport to the month of December. December is the final month of the calendar year, and once upon a time, December ended the NFL season. In the last five or six decades, December serves as that pivotal month that ends the regular season, similar to March and April in the NBA and NHL, and September in MLB. December is where the most important games are played, and regarding Week 14, there were three that stood out the most.

A New York Minute
The Colorado Avalanche kicked off the month of December with another home win, this one against the Vancouver Canucks. Now, the Avs are on the road; a four-game trip that mostly takes place in the East Coast. The season has been very amazing. Only one regulation loss, near perfect play, and a huge points streak. Which begs the question: when will that other shoe finally drop?
