Reviewing the Conclusion of the Women's United States Championship Tournament
The best thing to happen to WWE's Women's Division was the recent and long overdue addition of the midcard championships. First, the Women's United States Championship was announced. Twelve women battled for a chance to make history on the big stage known as Saturday Night's Main Event, and on the previous night's edition of SmackDown, it was down to the Final Four.

Always Bet on Blackwood
For me, this was a very awesome Saturday night. I enjoyed seeing Saturday Night's Main Event for the first time in 16 years, and as the show reached the second half, the Colorado Avalanche began play against the Nashville Predators. This was the third meeting of the season against the Preds; the first meeting in Nashville went the Preds' way, but the second meeting was the overtime win at home for the Avs. This was also the second game of a brief two-game homestand before the Avs would head back on the road for three games in the Pacific Time Zone.

Reviewing a Hat Trick of Villainesses from "Don't Let Him Find You"
2024 has been quite an interesting and delicious year for Lifetime thrillers. I'll definitely delve more into that in my annual year end top 10 list, which I've been writing since 2021. I've enjoyed a lot of these thrillers and the villainesses that have come with them, and that collection does include this movie that aired on Black Friday: Don't Let Him Find You.

A Cold Homecoming
Finally! Home sweet home for the Avs! This has been a strange schedule so far for the Colorado Avalanche. We are coming off a five game Eastern road trip that saw us win four of those five games. The latest game was a 6-2 win in Pittsburgh over Sidney Crosby's Penguins. Now we are finally in the familiar setting known as Ball Arena. It was December 12, yet this was our first home game this month. That's how whacked our schedule has been. For this bout, it's our second meeting of the season against the Utah Hockey Club, with our first meeting being a blowout win for the Avs in Salt Lake City.

Top Scoring Players on Fantasy Football (Week 14)
Week 15 is underway, and before I do talk about Week 14's top fantasy players, I have to mention this. The game between the Rams and Niners. The low scoring game. That low score came at a bad time for fantasy owners, because in standard leagues, Week 15 ends the regular season. That means some people were looking to get in to the playoffs. In some custom leagues, the playoffs start in Week 15, and that game was damaging. How damaging? Cooper Kupp on TNF: three targets, no catches. A big fat ZERO on Fantasy on Thursday. And yes, I had him in my starting lineup in my Quarterfinal matchup.

Road Warriors
There they are, folks. Sidney Crosby and Nathan MacKinnon. These are my two favorite players currently in the NHL. It's amazing that I've seen each of their careers since Day One. When Sid started, MacKinnon idolized him, especially since they came from that same place: Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia. Sid was drafted back in 2005 by the Penguins, while the Avs would draft MacKinnon #1 overall eight years later.

And Then There Were Eight
The countdown to Raw's debut on Netflix has reached the home stretch. We are now less than a month away from the momumental episode of Raw, which will air on the first Monday of 2025, and will take place at the Intuit Dome, the newly opened arena in Inglewood, California that hosts the NBA's Los Angeles Clippers. As WWE prepares for that moment, they are also preparing to crown two midcard champions in the Women's Division. The Women's United States Championship chase is almost over, but the one involving the Women's Intercontinental Championship is barely underway.

Wide Open Invitation (Week 15)
We are now down to the final four weeks of the regular season; not at the holidays yet, but we are very close. We are actually one week away from having Saturday NFL games, and I've always loved Saturday football--especially with flex scheduling involved. I know this much: there are no more byes for the rest of the regular season. For the final four weeks, all 32 teams play, with most of them actually playing for something. It's gut check time for sure. The numbers are thinning out quickly, and teams need to get wins now, or face a nuclear winter.

A Look at Hanna-Barbera's "Superstars 10"
This story is a milestone for me: it's my 1500th on Vocal. Fittingly, I decided to use this milestone to write about something I am a huge fan of: cartoons. More specifically, Hanna-Barbera. I've been wanting to tackle this for a while, and I was inspired by Boomerang and MeTV Toons to do this. The 1980s was one hell of a decade for Hanna-Barbera, as it was the latter half of that decade that saw a lot of their classics back in the proverbial saddle.

NFL Week 14 Recap: 86 Points
Holy moley, what a shootout in the OK Corral! You know, the Los Angeles Rams seem to be magnets for offense-filled shootouts. I still remember that game against the Chiefs from a few years ago that saw over 100 points scored. This one wasn't 100 points, but it had a lot of scoring. It had the Rams leading big, but the Bills managed to scratch and claw their way into a possible comeback, but the Rams managed to score late to make it a nine point game--the lowest possible two-possession lead. The Bills got in, but the onside kick came up short for them. The Rams ran down the clock and got the huge win, the biggest win of the season.

Gender-Flipped Villain Pitch: Dr. Claw (Inspector Gadget)
I've been sitting on this for over a month, and the inspiration for this involves something that dates back nearly six months prior. So in the end of June of this year, MeTV Toons launched. I remember being so excited for this, because from what I read, MeTV Toons is what Cartoon Network and Boomerang used to be: showing the classics, mainly (for my liking) the classic Hanna-Barbera cartoons. However, to my disappointment, MeTV Toons would not hit my cable company's lineup of channels, well... it wouldn't until sometime in September.

On This Day, We See Clearly
After a bad loss in Raleigh, the Colorado Avalanche bounced back and took it to the Detroit Red Wings, a 2-1 win in Motown, with Alexandar Georgiev shutting down the Wings. It was back to work for the Avs the next night, as the fourth game of the five-game road trip took the team to New Jersey to face a strong and red hot Devils team who is going toe-to-toe with the Washington Capitals in the Metropolitan Division.
