Not a Purdy Sight (NFC West Preview)
The NFC West never fails to please this humble football fan. I still remember the old geographically incorrect NFC West from my childhood and teenage years, and this current version that has existed since 2002 remains every bit as captivating. I've always been fascinated with this division, and it increased in 2016, when the Rams returned to Los Angeles. Because I live in SoCal, I get to see this madness on my TV a lot, due to location, and also due to how strong the Niners are.

CFL Week 8 Recap: The Rabbit Hole
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers are officially screwed. Saturday's contest between the Blue Bombers and the Toronto Argonauts was close and hotly contested, but in true "appearances can be deceiving manner," this was in spite of the Bombers committing turnovers left and right--four of them, five if you count a crucial one on downs when the Bombers were deep in field goal range. The game ended up going to overtime, which was good, because the Argos needed this one. Plus, CFL overtime is always fun, because anything can happen.

A Look Back at "Garfield and Friends"
This is a bit emotional for me. One of my earliest memories of watching anything animated was tuning in to Garfield and Friends every Saturday morning. I was only five years old when I first learned about Garfield. Even now, 34 years later, I have such fond memories of enjoying that show for the entire hour it was on. Here's how this phenomenon began.

Birds of Prey (NFC South Preview)
You know how people love watching NASCAR for the crashes? And how people love watching hockey for the fights? Also, you know that movie or show that is absolutely awful, yet you can't bring yourself to get away from it? That's the NFC South. The NFC South has been the trainwreck of trainwrecks for the last two seasons now. In each of the last two years, it's only taken nine wins to take the division, and the team leading the division has had a losing record two-thirds into the season both times.

It's Time for All of WWE's "Big Four" Events to be Two-Night Shows
Earlier this year, we received the following announcement from WWE: not only would SummerSlam 2026 emanate from US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, but it would be a two-night event. SummerSlam's 2026 event will take place on August 1 & 2, 2026, and as of now, it stands as the first SummerSlam to span two nights.

The Power of Jordan Love (NFC North Preview)
Ah, the NFC North. What an absolutely beautiful and chaotic disaster! I absolutely love the NFC North, and no, it's not just because I'm a Packers fan. The division is rich with history--at least six decades of rivalries. In addition, all of the teams are in cold weather cities, though two of them play in domes. The NFC North is basically the original NFC Central (before the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were placed in the old Central in 1978 until 2001), and as I said, it's an absolutely beautiful and chaotic disaster.

CFL Week 7 Recap: Tiger-Cat Strut
It has not been easy to be a Toronto Argonauts fan in 2024. We had to start the season dealing with the fact that our QB, Chad Kelly, is out of his damned mind. So Cameron Dukes took the helm, and it's been...decent. We've had our ups and downs, but we are coming off a big up: handing the Montréal Alouettes their first loss of the season. Spectacular! The Argos were in Hamilton for the first meeting of the season against the Tiger-Cats, a big rivalry game. Now, even though the TiCats entered the week with no wins, there's no such thing as an easy win in the Canadian Football League. Plus, it's a rivalry game. Even so, I figured the Argos would be up to the challenge.

Power Rangers Review: "Green No More"
You know, when the Green Ranger first departed, I was not happy. I was just beginning to really enjoy seeing him, and then, gone. However, I did take Green Ranger's second departure better than the first. The reason was simple: when Tommy was out of the Rangers the first time, something could have been done to prevent it. Regarding this time? No. There was no way out for Tommy as the Green Ranger, and even at the age of nine, I knew this.

Villainess Review: Bridget Stone (Death Down the Aisle)
I've watched these amazing Lifetime thrillers for over twenty years, and while I have marveled over how they've evolved over the years, there's one thing I learned a number of years ago: when it comes to villainesses, the best ones come during playoff time. By that, I mean, Lifetime films that air during the playoffs of any sport seem to deliver the most amazing villainesses, and in my recent experiences, the real good ones come between April and June (Stanley Cup and NBA Playoff time). Even the month of March (the month before it all starts) gives us some good ones.

A Brotherly Shove in the Right Direction (NFC East Preview)
The American Football Conference's division previews are done. Now for the real fun. The National Football Conference, as a whole, has been a bit of a shitshow in recent years, and I'm here for it. It's been messy, it's been chaotic, and it's been absolutely hideous. It's wonderfully perfect. Even now, I still fondly remember the big train wreck known as the 2023 NFC playoff race, and as great as last year's mess was, I expect this year to be even crazier.

Power Rangers Review: "The Mutiny: Part III"
This landmark special arc began with a huge bang: the debut of Lord Zedd. Part I saw Zedd eject Rita Repulsa from the moon palace due to her numerous failures to defeat the Power Rangers, and it ended with Zedd releasing the Pirantishead monster, who froze four of the five Dinozords. Things were turned up in Part II, as Pirantishead placed Tyrannosaurus and Dragonzord under his evil control, resulting in Zordon presenting brand new Zords to the Rangers: the Thunderzords.
