The History of "Saved by the Bell" (Part III: The New Class)
On May 22, 1993, the original Saved by the Bell run ended with the core sextet donning their caps and gowns and receiving their high school diplomas. That episode marked the end of the original TV series, though the saga with that group continued on with two telefilms, with a continuation series, Saved by the Bell: The College Years wedged in between. College Years premiered right after the graduation finale episode, but that was not the only bit of continuation that the series would receive.

MLB Pennant Race 2024: The Beginning of the End
September. The ninth month of the year, the month that kicks off autumn, and the most infamous "Fast Money" answer in Family Feud history. September has another role for baseball fans: it's the beginning of the end. The last full month before the madness known as the Postseason begins. There are a lot of intriguing storylines in the month of September, which is the norm on this very pivotal month.

A Look at the U.S. National TV Coverage for NHL Teams in the 2024-25 Season
With the 2024-25 NHL season on the horizon, this was originally set to be my first hockey story in preparation for that year. A couple of days ago, I was on Instagram and found a post from Daily Faceoff, a site that discusses hockey, and I saw a pic that detailed the number of national TV games in the U.S. for each of the NHL's 32 clubs. In any league, it is always an honor to be on national TV. Of course, the NFL is the only one of the main leagues who doesn't do the regional sports network (RSN) thing, instead using regional coverage for early and late games on Sundays. MLB, the NHL, and the NBA do use RSNs, and they do save national coverage for select days.

A Look at the 1985 Kansas City Royals
Kansas City. The largest city in the Show Me State. A population of just over half of a million people, almost double that of St. Louis. Yet when it comes to sports, KC has often been the little brother to St. Louis. In the NFL, Kansas City did win the battle of Missouri, but only because St. Louis lost two franchises while the Chiefs went on to become a dynasty. St. Louis did have the Hawks in the NBA before the team moved to Atlanta, and the NHL's Blues serve as the state's lone team, and won a Stanley Cup in 2019.

The Legend of Johnny Hockey
This wasn't supposed to be my first NHL story with the season closing in. So we all heard the news on the evening of August 29, 2024, and sadly, it became official on the following morning. On that night, Johnny Gaudreau and his brother, Matthew Gaudreau, were killed while riding their bikes in their home state of New Jersey--a drunk driver took both of their lives. Two lives robbed from us at such young ages--Johnny was only 31, while Matthew was 29. The brothers were at their home state celebrating the wedding of their sister, Katie, but sadly, what was supposed to be a night of joy is marred by a heartbreaking family tragedy.

CFL Week 12 Recap: A Beautiful Disaster
Just when I think the CFL's West Division can't fall any farther into the proverbial abyss, Week 12 showed me how wrong I truly was. So Week 12 began with the team leading the West Division (because somebody had to), the Saskatchewan Roughriders, in Toronto facing an Argonauts team who was welcoming back Chad Kelly as QB, though I wasn't exactly welcoming. After all, I don't take kindly to guys who harass women, but hey, that's just me--and a lot of people in society.

Top 5 Power Rangers Actresses Who Need to Play a Lifetime Movie Villainess (At Least Once)
Today is a big anniversary in the world of Power Rangers; it was 31 years ago today the whole phenomenon began. From the moment that the dumpster was opened, the Power Rangers franchise became a huge hit that has transcended generations. Most of us who have watched the MMPR, Zeo, and Turbo years have offspring who have enjoyed the current incarnations. It's absolutely amazing.

"Wolf": Was Laura Alden the True Villainess?
Amazing that this calendar year marks the 30th anniversary of Wolf, the underrated thriller that starred Jack Nicholson, Michelle Pfeiffer, and James Spader. I remember seeing the trailer to this as a kid, and I was awestruck over the fact that a "Wolfman" movie was coming out in my lifetime; I had already been familiar with the classic 1941 film even then. In this case, it was Nicholson's Will Randall who took on that full moon curse, though when I first watched this a few years after the theatrical release, I quickly noticed the psychological aspect of the film, which hit theaters on June 17, 1994.

A Look at Some of the Best Moments from AEW's All In
The highly anticipated All In event has come and gone, and it was definitely a show to remember. It was the second All In event under All Elite Wrestling, and just like last year's event, London's Wembley Stadium hosted the big extravaganza. For me, living in the West Coast, that meant an early start time--the pre-show (Zero Hour) started at 8AM Pacific Standard Time, and featured three matches, with one of them being unannounced until that day. The main show started at 10AM Pacific Standard Time, and it's why I really love that these companies are taking their PPVs to Europe, because it means an early start time for us American fans--just like the NFL's games in London and Germany.

A Look at the 1979 Pittsburgh Pirates
We are closing in on the month of September, which is the last full month of the MLB season, so I thought I'd get back on track with the stories centering on the most memorable championship runs in baseball history. Now, here's the thing. I normally don't reveal my original plans for stories, but originally, my next story under this theme was going to be about the 1985 Kansas City Royals. But a few days ago, I looked at the standings, and saw that a certain team had been slipping down in the postseason race, and I was quite heartbroken by this. I'm not a fan of this team, but they fascinate me; in fact, the way that the city's sports teams carry themselves fascinates me. So I decided to give the spotlight to that certain team: the Pittsburgh Pirates.
