CFL Week 10 Recap: Bombed
November 20, 2021. That was the last time that the Winnipeg Blue Bombers lost a game; 13-12 against the Calgary Stampeders. September 27, 2019. That was the last time the Blue Bombers lost a home game, a 33-13 loss to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. On Thursday, August 11, 2022, the defending back-to-back Grey Cup Champions saw their 11-game winning streak (dating back to last year's playoffs) come to an end in immensely shocking and strange fashion, and it came on their home turf against the Montréal Alouettes.

Villainess Review: Susan Jacobs (Criminal Minds)
Without question, Criminal Minds was one of CBS' greatest crime drama in the last two decades, airing for 15 seasons between 2005 and 2020 on the network. I can say this even though I wasn't a weekly viewer of the program, but I did catch a few reruns here or there. I know this much: Criminal Minds was an immensely thrilling series that had its share of twisted villains (regardless of gender), which brings me to the afternoon of April 14, 2018. There are two things I remember about that day. One, it was a day filled with great Stanley Cup Playoff action, and one of the games I watched was Game Two of the opening round between the Nashville Predators and the Colorado Avalanche. Secondly, I watched an episode of Criminal Minds during that same day, the one titled, "Seven Seconds."

We Are Finally Getting Jordynne vs Masha
Impact Wrestling held their latest pay-per-view event, Emergence, though because I had my hands full watching so many other things, I only watched some of this event. I didn't mind that; only two matches had my focus, and one of them was the Knockouts World Championship contest between two-time champion Jordynne Grace and challenger Mia Yim. The match was back and forth as expected, but in the end, Jordynne emerged victorious and will continue her reign as champion. Just as the two combatants were set to shake hands, they were interrupted by the appearance of Masha Slamovich, and when she appeared, I simply went, "Here it is."

A Look at the 1992-93 Montréal Canadiens
The Montréal Canadiens are, without question, the most storied franchise in the history of the National Hockey League. No team has won more Stanley Cups than the Canadiens, who have won 24 in their history. In fact, they were the most successful franchise in any of the main sports leagues in North America until 1999, when the New York Yankees won their 25th World Series, and have since added two more championships in 2000 and 2009. However, the Canadiens' road to #24 was a long one. Their 23rd came in 1986, and though they returned to the Stanley Cup Final in 1989, they were defeated in six games by the Calgary Flames. The Canadiens would spend next three seasons running into the same roadblock: the Boston Bruins in the second round, and not getting past them.

Villainess Review: Fran Hendrix (Hardcastle and McCormick)
A week after Decades aired a weekend marathon of Remington Steele as part of their weekend binge, the network did the same for the underrated 1980s series, Hardcastle and McCormick. I had heard of this show, but (until that weekend) I had never seen a single episode or even knew who starred in the series. The show starred the late Brian Keith (of Family Affair fame) as Milton C. Hardcastle, a retired judge whose last case centered on car thief Mark "Skid" McCormick, played by Daniel Hugh Kelly (who would later play Macaulay Culkin's father in one of my favorite films, The Good Son). So how did they end up permanently linked together? The pair struck that saw McCormick serve as Hardcastle's agent (on a conditional parole) after they worked together to capture the very person who killed McCormick's best friend.

Should Nikkita Lyons Turn Heel?
As a fan and avid watcher of WOW - Women of Wrestling, I'm still elated to see Nikkita Lyons in World Wrestling Entertainment. She's one of a few names from WOW who have hit the mainstream market; Impact Wrestling currently has Gisele Shaw, who competed in WOW as Azteca, and in the case of Nikkita Lyons, she competed as Faith the Lioness in the promotion. I remember that gimmick, it mainly centered on her music background, and I also remember being afraid that they would make her a heel. Wrestling promotions always seem to make villains out of multi-talented characters, it's an easy thing to do, but that was not the case with Faith the Lioness. Nikkita Lyons (real name Faith Jefferies) was signed by WWE in 2021, and made her televised WWE debut on New Year's Eve on an episode of what was then known as 205 Live (it's now NXT Level Up). In WOW, I didn't want Faith to be a heel, but after eight months of seeing Nikkita, I now want Nikkita to be a villainess, because she has the look.

A Look at the 1988-89 Calgary Flames
The Calgary Flames' road to the Stanley Cup in 1989 was quite a rocky one. The team began play in Atlanta in 1972, playing there for eight seasons with very little success. It was in 1980 that they moved from Atlanta, Georgia to Calgary, Alberta, Canada; remaining in the Patrick Division (when it was part of the Campbell Conference) before being permanently placed in the Smythe Division beginning in the 1981-82 season. That was the year that the began their contentious rivalry with their provincial foes, the Edmonton Oilers.

CFL Week 9 Recap: Full Control
The 2022 Canadian Football League season has entered the month of August, which is an important month, as it brings the season closer to the Labour Day matchups. It's also a pacesetting month, and regarding Week 9, the action kicked off in Montréal, with the Alouettes hosting the undefeated defending back-to-back champion Winnipeg Blue Bombers. The game was strangely close, and even entering the fourth quarter, it was tied: 14-14. It did look like we were in for an upset, but it would not come to pass, as the Bombers outscored the Als 21-6 in the fourth quarter, resulting in a 35-20 victory.

Villainess Review: Fran Gibbons (A Dangerous Affair)
Lifetime's theme for the month of August is "Love, Lies, and Deception,", and the batch of films listed under that theme are quite appetizing. The list included this film, A Dangerous Affair (originally titled, Her Obsession), and it centers on Amélie Didot, a Pilates instructor whose encounter with one of her clients, journalist Pierce Dalton, leads to a budding romance. Pierce has gained attention from many women, one of them being another participant, Fran Gibbons, who gushed over Pierce during her conversation with Amélie.

The Spectacular Career of Sidney Crosby
It doesn't seem like Sidney Crosby's been in the NHL for 17 years, and about to enter his 18th. It seems like yesterday that he was a high level pick in the NHL draft, but it was so long ago. I still remember the big buzz about Sidney Crosby, mainly this question: "Wayne Gretzky is The Great One. Is Crosby, 'The Next One'?" I figured Crosby would be an amazing player, but I never thought he'd reach Hall of Fame status, and so quickly!

Hope Solo: It's Always Something
It's amazing how every sport seems to have (at least) one athlete who can't seem to stay away from any controversy and/or trouble. I wrote about Evander Kane and his many, many problems during his NHL career. The world of wrestling has Sunny, and we all know so much about everything Antonio Brown's done during his NFL career. So who is the ultimate villain in the world of soccer? It's actually a villainess, and she's none other than Hope Solo.

Villainess Review: Elena Ruiz (The Rookie)
I absolutely love The Rookie with a passion, and even that is an understatement. I was sold on this very quickly; all it took was learning that Nathan Fillion was starring on this show, and I was in (thanks to my adoration for his other ABC show, Castle). The series began as a Tuesday show, but has aired on Sundays since the second season began, and it is part of my Sunday habit. When I am finished watching whatever sports are on (NFL early in the season, NHL later on), when the clock strikes 10PM in the West Coast, I tune in to The Rookie. Now I mention the show being part of my Sunday routine, but despite this, the villainess that I am reviewing is from Season One, which aired on Tuesdays.
