The Captivating Career of Patrice Bergeron
On July 25, 2023, just one day after celebrating his 38th birthday, Patrice Bergeron called it a career. This was not surprising news. When the Boston Bruins were shockingly defeated in Game Seven of the opening round against the upstart Florida Panthers, we saw Bergeron tearfully hugging longtime teammate Brad Marchand. It had been hinted for months before the playoffs started that this past season would be Bergeron's last. That moment with Marchand basically sealed it, as it was reminiscent of Aaron Rodgers and Randall Cobb's moment in the Green Bay Packers' 2022 season finale.

CFL Week 7 Recap: You Can't Spell "Ottawa" Without OT
It is hard to believe that I've been watching the Canadian Football League for ten years now. It's also hard to believe how fast this season has gone. We are now one-third through the 2023 season, and the game that officially locked the season in that one-third mark was the battle between the Ottawa Redblacks and the Calgary Stampeders. Every time I look at that matchup, I always think back to 2016, because that year's Grey Cup Championship pitted those two teams against each other. The Redblacks won in overtime to take their first Grey Cup in only their third year of play.

The 2023 New York Yankees: The First 100 Games
Oh man, where do I even start with this? The 2023 New York Yankees season had a lot of promise. After all, this team was in the American League Championship Series in the previous year, and even though that ended in immense disaster, the promise was right there. Everything was going quite well for the Yankees at the start. Even with the Tampa Bay Rays winning games left and right, April and May looked really good for the Bronx Bombers.

Reviewing VC Andrews' Dawn (Part 3: "Twilight's Child")
The preview for Part 3 of VC Andrews' Dawn had me quite intrigued, and this was coming after a Part 2 that ended with such a bang. The ultimate tease was that Dawn would find herself tormented by the very monsters who plagued her immensely, to the point where she would become the very thing that she had been haunted by. Reminds me of Harvey Dent's line in The Dark Knight: "You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain." Speaking of movies, it's nice to see the word "Twilight" in the title of a movie that's actually good and not annoying as hell. But I digress.

A Look at the 1948 Cleveland Indians
Those who have read a lot of my sports stories know that I've written about some memorable Stanley Cup championship runs in the NHL. With MLB in the second half of this season, I felt that it's time to write about a few notable World Series runs, and I may as well start with this one, because I don't think I'll have any chances to talk about this franchise. The name may have changed (and for the better), but one thing--unfortunately--hasn't changed: this team is immensely hard luck.

Villainess Review: Caitlyn Lynch (Medium)
There are a select number of episodes of Medium that I do recall watching when they aired, and among that collection is the three-parter, "How to Make a Killing in Big Business." Though Allison Dubois found herself back working at the DA's office by this point, Part 1 saw her contacted by a woman named Caitlyn Lynch, who was offering Allison a job at her workplace, the prestigious Lydecker Corporation. The pay's immensely high, though even after meeting with Caitlyn, who reveals that she has the same gifts that Allison has, Allison's not sure about accepting, especially since there's a big serial killer case occurring at the same moment.

A Very Special Story on Vocal
Remember when networks aired "very special episodes" of shows, which detailed (among other things) the same issues that we face today? Remember when said issues on TV were taken seriously back then? Remember when people actually watched and actually gave a damn?

CFL Week 6 Recap: It Ain't Over 'til It's Over
Week 6 of the 2023 CFL season was absolutely full of such nail-biting drama. Pretty much every game went down to the last possession, all of them were close. We have the CFL's rules to thank for this, because they create the mayhem and chaos that we love to see in this league. All four Week 6 games had their drama, but the best of the four had to be the battle between the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and the Ottawa Redblacks on Saturday.

Stating the Obvious: NFL Running Backs Need to be Paid
This is getting out of hand. A number of NFL teams seem to not want to pay their top running backs, and I can't figure out why. I've been hearing this story for a long while now, and I finally decided to write my piece about it. The ironic thing: if this was about seven years ago, I wouldn't have given this a thought, because back then, I didn't think rushing was so important.

Villainess Review: Lacy Settle (Nightmare School Moms)
I was excited for Nightmare School Moms for a number of weeks, but my excitement increased very recently for a reason I will state later on. I have to say this; I've always been fascinated by Lifetime's themed titles. A long time ago Lifetime gave up the "Perfect" films, and then we had the "Met Online" themed films (i.e. The Boy She Met Online, The Girl He Met Online, and my favorite of the bunch, The Wife He Met Online) and the "At 17" group. Very recently, Lifetime's giving us the "Nightmare Moms" films, and previous entries include PTA, Neighborhood, and Pageant, with School being the latest addition.

Reviewing VC Andrews' Dawn (Part 2: "Secrets of the Morning")
You know, I found myself already enjoying this latest VC Andrews installment while I was halfway into the first film. I still say the Ruby series is the best one, though if Dawn comes out on DVD like Ruby did, well, I may be buying that as well. So there's my endorsement. Now for the brief recap.

A Look Back: Edge and Undertaker's 2008 Feud
This month, WWE celebrated the 25th anniversary of the beginning of the storied career of WWE Hall of Famer Edge. What a career! Understatement, I know, but still. SummerSlam 1998 was his first PPV bout, as he served as Sable's tag team partner, and we know the rest after that. Became part of The Brood, teamed with Christian and won various tag titles, went solo and finally worked up to becoming an iconic main eventer, only for his career to come to a premature end barely a week after WrestleMania 27. Nearly nine years later, Edge returns at the 2020 Rumble, and has since been involved in several different and amazing angles since then.
