What Went Wrong: Quoth the (Baltimore) Ravens, "Playoffs?! Nevermore!"
Normally, my "What Went Wrong" stories are usually about teams who were eliminated during the playoffs, and I've done those stories regarding NHL and MLB teams. The NFL is interesting, as the short schedule allows for close races that make in-season eliminations quite gripping. This was definitely the case regarding the Baltimore Ravens, and it still mystifies me as a football fan. Two-thirds through the season, the Ravens were at the top of the entire American Football Conference after an ugly win over the Cleveland Browns, but as we would see in the weeks that followed, it would be their last. So how did this catastrophic collapse happen? Here's a look at Baltimore's last six games of their season.

Week 18 Recap: 70 Minutes and a LOT of Drama
Now I know why the NFL decided to extend the season and add an extra week: for insanity like this. Now I know why the NFL decided to add an extra playoff spot two years ago: for insanity like this. The sounds you heard during this final Sunday of the 2021 regular season were the owners counting their money, and also laughing at the fans whose hearts were racing. Some fans were vested in scenarios that had nothing to do with their favorite teams, adding more nerves to said fans. Yet in spite of all of the infuriatingly nail-biting moments that took place in this final week, this football fan drank in every bit of this.

Villainess Review: Jade Goddard (Labor, Lies, and Murder)
I had actually known about this movie when it was listed on IMDB under its original title, Deadly Doula; though I wouldn't see an actual preview of the film until New Year's Day, which featured its new title, Labor, Lies, and Murder. The film centers on Hailey Kendricks, who is expecting her first child (a girl) with husband Joe Kendricks. Hailey wants a home birth and is looking for a doula, which leads her to Bea Wexford, a bright young woman who is eager for the opportunity to assist in the birthing process.

Villainess Review: Susanna Williams (Killer Stepmom)
A new year means many things: a new start, new plans, and Lifetime's annual batch of "Deadly Resolutions" films. Though we have been treated to quite a few good films, the one that had me counting down the days until airtime was Killer Stepmom, with the title being one obvious reason. The film centered on Brianna Williams, whose penchant for making up stories has been her undoing at school. As we have quickly seen, Brianna's acting out appears to be due to her parents' divorce, and regarding her parents, Daniel Williams and Annie O'Dowd, they decided that Brianna would be grounded while living in Daniel's home, which for Brianna, also meant the indignity of having to be around Daniel's new wife, Susanna.

Oil Spill: Analyzing the Edmonton Oilers' Skid
It always seems to be something with the Edmonton Oilers, especially in this current era. The Oilers are coming off finishing 2nd in the makeshift North Division last season, but it saw them swept out of the Stanley Cup Playoffs' opening round by the Winnipeg Jets, adding to their recent list of playoff disappointments. In what proved to be another blow against the "North Division sucks" narrative that plagued the previous season, the Oilers got off to a strong start, going 16-5-0 in their first 21 games, leaving many to suddenly believe that the team could contend for a Stanley Cup this season.

A Look Back: New Year's Revolution 2005's Elimination Chamber Match
If there was ever an underrated regular pay-per-view, it was New Year's Revolution. I immensely remember WWE adding that PPV to their collection of events, and while I never read why it was added, I do have my theories. For one, New Year's Revolution made the wait for the Royal Rumble easier, as the gap between the December PPV (Armageddon) and the Rumble was very large--about six weeks! Secondly, Raw's last solo PPV was October's Taboo Tuesday, and their last participation in one was the dual-branded Survivor Series. So Raw needed another solo show on the road to WrestleMania, and that's where New Year's Revolution came in. The event only lasted three years, but the first one, taking place on January 9, 2005, gave us a very epic main event. But first, the backstory.

It All Comes Down to This (Week 18)
This is it: the final week of the regular season. Everything is guaranteed to be settled on the NFL's season finale, which--for the first time in 17 years--is Week 18. Week 18 is now the regular final week of the season, but the story remains the same: the last pieces of that proverbial puzzle will be completed. Similar to the final week since 2003, there is no more Monday Night Football; though one of the six Wild Card Playoff games will actually air on Monday, January 17. It's two games on Saturday, while the rest will play on Sunday, with Sunday Night Football ending the regular season. Let's look at what's at stake entering the final week.

Week 17 Recap: Boom
On December 28, 2021, the NFL and football fans overall (myself included) were deeply saddened by the sudden passing of former head coach turned legendary broadcaster, John Madden, at the age of 85. Born on April 10, 1936 in Austin, Minnesota, John Earl Madden actually played the game during his college years before being drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in 1958; however, a knee injury ended his playing career before it had the chance to begin. At only the age of 24, Madden's coaching career began, serving as an assistant at Allan Hancock College before becoming their head coach, and later working as a defensive coordinator at San Diego State.

Villainess Review: Sylvie Garrett (Mommy, I Didn't Do It)
Hard to believe that it's been five years since the film, Mommy, I Didn't Do It premiered on Lifetime. There are two main things I remember about New Year's Day 2017. One, I was watching a primetime game between the Green Bay Packers and the Detroit Lions, which the Packers won to clinch the NFC North. The second thing came later in the day; I switched to Lifetime and watched Mommy, I Didn't Do It, which was the sequel to The Wrong Woman, which came out in 2013.

Top 10 Lifetime Villainesses of 2021 (Part II: The Top 5)
As I stated while devising the first half of this top 10 list, picking them out from a very impressive crop of Lifetime film villainesses from this year was very difficult. Despite this, however, I had my top 5 cemented quickly. These five female baddies showed out the most in 2021, making it easy for me to feature them in this list. They are as follows:

Top 10 Lifetime Villainesses of 2021 (Part I: #10 - #6)
I've been a fan and viewer of Lifetime movies for two decades, and I can honestly say that 2021 gave us the best batch of films in a while. It definitely gave us the best collection of villainesses that I have ever seen; very amazing and deliciously evil ones who were played by some immensely talented actresses. I have the unenviable task of picking out the 10 best ones from this year, and it is definitely not easy, but I've managed to do it. This story features the first half of the top 10, and they are as follows:

Toni Storm Released by WWE
Days before 2021 came to end, wrestling fans were hit with one more shocking release from World Wrestling Entertainment: Toni Storm. The news hit all over wrestling sites that Toni Storm's tenure in WWE has come to an end after four years, with reports stating that she requested to be released. Even so, this release joins a vast collection of departures in the women's division alone, including Nia Jax, B-Fab, and Taya Valkyrie (among many others).
