I'm a big sports fan, especially hockey, and I've been a fan of villainesses since I was eight! My favorite shows are The Simpsons and Family Guy, etc.

There was only one rule: don’t open the door. That was the rule that was given to Andrea Marsh, a reporter who was interviewing police captain Regina Mendez, who gained a lot of acclaim for taking down a massive bank robbing ring. The group consisted of two men and two women and was led by a mysterious masked criminal simply known as "La Reina." The cohorts were all arrested with the exception of La Reina, who has been in hiding since the arrests.

What Went Wrong: Midnight Strikes
We all love Cinderella teams, don't we? We see it a lot; those teams who no one thought would make it. The teams who weren't supposed to even get to the dance--get there, and make something of it. Teams who go from rags to riches in little time, but at times, the clock can and does strike midnight on those teams. The "Cinderella" nickname for those teams is usually heard during March Madness; those really low seeds (usually 12-16 seeds) who catch lightning in a bottle and go on a run. We have seen it on the professional level as well. #8 in basketball and hockey going all the way to the 'ship--and winning it, the lowest seeds in football making a decent run, and yes, the Wild Cards who go on to win the World Series.

What Went Wrong: Padres Come Up Short in NLDS Thriller
The San Diego Padres have a knack for making things interesting. This year was no different. The Padres had another amazing season that saw them go toe-to-toe with the Los Angeles Dodgers for the National League West, but while the Dodgers did go on to win the West, the Padres did snag one of the National League's three Wild Card spots. The Padres snagged the 1st Wild Card position, giving them homefield in their series against an Atlanta Braves team that persevered despite being ravaged with injuries.

CFL Week 18 Recap: All Coming Together
The month of October is a pivotal one in the Canadian Football League. It is the final month before the playoffs start, and of course, the format sees the top three teams in each division qualify. The first place teams get byes straight to the Division Finals, while the other two teams meet in the Division Semifinals. As a result, three teams will see their seasons end early. Entering Week 18, only two teams got in: the Montréal Alouettes and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. The Alouettes locked up 1st place in the East and will host the Eastern Final, while the Bombers were looking to do the same out West.

What Went Wrong: Witt-less
The 2024 Kansas City Royals' season has to be up there as one of the biggest turnarounds in baseball history. Think about it. Last year, this team lost 106 games. Worst record in baseball. They caught lightning in a bottle this year, and ended up winning 86 games--a 30-game improvement from last year. The Royals were in the playoff race from jumpstreet, and got in during the final week of the season, an absolutely amazing feat.

What Went Wrong: An Early End to Red October
Now, the Philadelphia Phillies know how it feels. Two years ago, the Phillies were in what is now regarded as the "sweet spot": the #6 seed in the National League. They were playing with house money. They clawed their way in and made the best of it. Ousting the Cardinals in the Wild Card Series, eliminating the then-defending champion Braves in the NLDS, and defeating the Padres in the NLCS. The Phils fell two wins short of winning the whole thing, but even so, the promise was there.

Top Scoring Players on Fantasy Football (Week 5)
Well, Fantasy Football people, we have made it. Five weeks have passed, meaning that in standard leagues, the regular season is at the 1/3 mark. While the actual NFL regular season is 18 weeks long, a standard Fantasy Football regular season is 15 weeks long. A 15 week season, followed by the Semifinals in Week 16, and the championship and other consolation games in Week 17. Some custom leagues actually do use the entire regular season and crown champions on Week 18, but in a standard Fantasy Football league, it's a 15 week regular season, the Semis (Week 16), and then the championship (Week 17).

A Rough Humpday in Vegas
Welcome back! I enjoyed writing game-by-game recaps of the Colorado Avalanche's 2023-24 season, that I decided that I'd do it again this season. Last year was a tad better than the year before. It was rocky at the end, but we did deliver a memorable playoff beatdown towards the season's best goalie, so there's that. We also delivered some amazing comebacks as well; we came back from down 3-0 quite a bit, and even came back from down 4-0 in one game. We even pulled off a 3-0 comeback in the playoffs last year!

Stating the Obvious: The Jets Fired the WRONG Coach
Well, they did it. Even worse, it happened sooner than I feared. So I woke up to the news that the New York Jets fired Robert Saleh as their head coach. I knew this would happen. The only thing I was guilty of was believing that they'd actually give him a full fourth season. So let's look at Saleh's history, shall we? He's only 45 years old, yet he's been in the NFL as a coach for 20 years. After four seasons coaching at the collegiate level, Saleh--at the age of 26--joined the Houston Texans as a defensive intern in 2005. He spent six seasons on Houston's staff before joining the Seattle Seahawks as their defensive quality control coach. Saleh spent three seasons with Seattle before spending another three as the linebackers coach for the Jacksonville Jaguars.

NFL Week 5 Recap: You Like That?!?!
Week 5 was absolutely eventful, wasn't it?! The game was full of wild moments, close calls, and in the case of a few games, a lot of offense. And it all started with an NFC South battle between the Atlanta Falcons and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday Night Football. Now, with the exception of Opening Day and the Thanksgiving games, Thursday Night Football gets a bad rap. The games have been criticized as being boring and featuring teams no one cares about. Even when some playoff scenarios involve some December TNF games, the slot gets highly scrutinized.

Reviewing Raquel Rodriguez's Villainous Return at WWE's Bad Blood
We all saw it coming, but what we did not see was how slightly messy it was. Even so, it was pretty cool and I loved it. So the first Bad Blood event in 20 years featured, among other things, the Women's World Championship contest between Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan. It's been a long uphill battle for Rhea ever since she returned from injury. Liv's sinister Revenge Tour saw her succeed in taking everything from Rhea: her faction, Dom, and in Liv's mind, her title, but Rhea never lost that title.
