Super Bowl LVII Recap: Back to the Top
Super Bowl Sunday. Those are the three sweetest words in the English language. Super Bowl Sunday is the holiest day of the sports calendar year, and it's by a big margin. I always look forward to this day, regardless of who is participating. Even during the many years that we were basically suffocated by the New England Patriots, I still enjoyed Super Bowl Sunday. This year, it was the Kansas City Chiefs against the Philadelphia Eagles in Glendale, Arizona, and there were three main storylines in play. One, Andy Reid was coaching against the team he coached for over a decade. Two, brothers Travis and Jason Kelce were facing each other in the big game, and three, this was the first time in Super Bowl history that Black starting QBs would face each other.

Villainess Review: Patty Garner (10 Year Reunion)
You know, I really love these Lifetime movies that centered on a group of women getting together. One reason is because they usually involve at least one known actress who I'm a fan of, but there's also the obvious reason: one of them turns out to be evil. It's a case that has been seen so many times on Lifetime, and the 2016 thriller, 10 Year Reunion.

Wolf Pack Review: "Origin Point"
In a football season, Week 3 can serve as a turning point. Though football is the only sport where literally every game is important, Week 3 locks in tones for certain teams, and separates potential contenders from potential pretenders. When it comes to TV shows, especially serials with (at least) one mystery, Week 3 is when the plot starts to really thicken and things add up, with possible twists on the horizon. This was definitely the case with Paramount+'s Wolf Pack, and after we see a different quartet kick off the latest episode, the scene shifts to our familiar foursome.

1 vs 8 or Divisional: Which Stanley Cup Playoff Format is Better?
For hockey fans, the road to the Stanley Cup is a fun one. Stressful and nail-biting, yes, but fun. The Stanley Cup Playoffs serves as the best sports stretch on the calendar year; after a wild 82-game season, an even wilder 16-team postseason begins in mid-April and ends with the Stanley Cup awarded in mid-June. There is never a debate regarding how fun the Stanley Cup Playoffs are, because it is immensely exciting to watch 16 teams fight for the greatest prize in sports. The debate, however, is centered on the format.

A Look at Javicia Leslie's Villainous Return to the Arrowverse
Despite the fact that my immense ignorance of everything involving superhero comics came out while watching the final moments of The Flash, I'm still elated over this development. The Flash began its ninth and final season on February 9, 2023 with "Wednesday Ever After," the first of the final 13 episodes. The episode saw Barry and Iris in a time loop, with the former dealing with the episode's central baddie, Captain Boomerang, who was played by Richard Harmon of Continuum fame. Though everything ended well for Team Flash, we were treated to a final scene that saw Captain Boomerang calling out whoever he was working for in an abandoned warehouse.

38,388 Points...and Counting
On April 5, 1984, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar hit his patented "skyhook" from 15 feet against the Utah Jazz. That shot increased his career point total to 31,420, making Kareem the highest scoring player in NBA history, surpassing Wilt Chamberlain. Kareem would add 6,967 more points for his career, giving him a grand total of 38,387 in his stellar career. He had been the all-time leading scorer ever since that evening in 1984, and that exact total stood as the standard-bearer since Kareem's career ended in 1989. Other legends have come since then, players such as Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal, and Dirk Nowitzki, but none have come close to Kareem's number. Karl Malone was the closest, but he would fall 1,459 points short.

Villainess Review: Heather Glass (CSI: Vegas)
I'm a big fan of the CSI franchise, which has been on TV, on and off, for 23 years. It all started back in 2000 with the original CSI series, and it was followed by spinoffs CSI: Miami and CSI: NY, as well as the short-lived CSI: Cyber series. The abrupt cancellation of Cyber ended the franchise, but it was resurrected with the premiere of CSI: Vegas, which served as a continuation of the original series that aired between 2000 and 2015. The series also serves as a continuation of another trait from the franchise: delivering huge in the villainess department.

A Look at Sahara Spars' Heel Turn in WOW - Women of Wrestling
As a diehard women's wrestling fan, I absolutely love WOW - Women of Wrestling! It's been around for over two decades, yet I started catching this a few years ago on AXS TV. A lot of good talent from WWE, AEW, and Impact Wrestling have worked in WOW; women such as Santana Garrett, Diamante, Kiera Hogan, and Nikkita Lyons (who was in WOW as Faith the Lioness). AXS TV dropped WOW in 2020, and the promotion was largely affected by the pandemic, but they are back and have been since the fall of 2022, and their weekly series airs every Saturday evening.

Reviewing the 2023 NHL All-Star Game
I do love the NHL All-Star Game and its festivities. I've been watching this event since the mid-1990s, and if there's one thing I've learned the years, it's this: the NHL's All-Star Game went through so many changes. When this started in 1947, the format back then pitted the defending Stanley Cup Champions against a mixture of All-Stars from other teams. Then in 1969, it was the East Division vs the West Division, but six years later, the format changed to the Wales Conference vs the Campbell Conference. It became Eastern Conference vs Western Conference when the geographical names returned in the 1993-94, but a few years later, the NHL decided that for the All-Star Game, they would pit a team of North Americans (Canada and the U.S.) against The World (mostly European players), before going back to East vs West.

18-1: 15 Years Later
So of course, we have to talk about the big news from this week. Tom Brady has retired. Again. He says it's for good, but we know what happened the last time he said that. In any event, it's a 23-year career that is now in the books. Now that it's finally over, I think it's about time I finally admit something about Brady that I've denied for so, so long. I feel like the time is right to finally say it. Here goes:
