"Beyond the Gates" Week 21 Review
It all finally came out during the twentieth week of Beyond the Gates; the very thing that had been plaguing Martin Richardson for two years was finally unveiled: ugly detail after ugly detail. One has to believe that the fallout would be immense, heartwrenching, explosive, you name it. So many questions would be asked. Some people wouldn't like the answers. Such is life when everything's out in the open.

Reviewing the Long-Awaited "Happy Gilmore 2"
My name is Clyde E. Dawkins. The "E" stands for Earl, my actual middle name. Though as I love to say, my middle name is patience. I've been accustomed to waiting a long time for things I've wanted to see so badly. I waited 15 years for a pennant. I waited 21 years for a Stanley Cup. And added to that list: I waited 29 years for a sequel to an iconic comedy classic.

A Look at 2025's Holiday NFL Games
The 2025 NFL season is closing in, folks! We are six weeks away from the regular season, and the annual Hall of Fame Game--the first preseason game of the year--is a week away! I had said before that when it comes to discussing the 2025 schedule, I was doing something different: dividing them into parts. First off, I wrote about what has been the most important part of the schedule in the last two decades, Sunday Night Football. This was followed by a piece about Thursday Night Football, as well as my story about the international games. For this story, we will look into this year's holiday games; the games that will take place on Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and Christmas.

CFL Week 7 Recap: The One-Third Report
It seems like yesterday that I was waiting patiently for the start of the 2025 CFL season. Now here we are, approaching the one-third mark of this season. Week 7 kicked off with Part II of the 2025 season series between the Toronto Argonauts and the Montréal Alouettes. The first meeting took place in Week 1, and it was a bad day in the office for the defending champs.

"Beyond the Gates" Week 20 Review
Patience is a virtue, and I'm speaking as someone who waited 21 years for a Stanley Cup. So the 20th week of CBS' relatively new soap, Beyond the Gates, finally delivered something we had all been waiting weeks for. As a result, this review will be different. Normally, it would have been about a specific highlight from each of the episodes from that week, in this case, the episodes airing between July 14 and July 18. But regarding Week 20, there was only one true highlight overall that week, and we know what that is. So this week's review will only focus on the ultimate reveal that took place.

Top 10 Most Astounding Sports Droughts
As the saying goes, "You win some, and you lose some." Such is life in sports. However, some teams do a lot of winning. There's a current NFL dynasty in Kansas City, Florida's two NHL teams have been in the Cup Final every year in this decade, and won four of those times. The Golden State Warriors had a recent string of championships in the NBA, and baseball has the Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Yankees among the ultimate "haves."

The Greatest Game: A Look at the 1958 Baltimore Colts
Every sport has that at least one "you had to be there" stand out moment. It never fails. Football has had their share of those wild moments, but the earliest of those moments had to have taken place in the end of 1958. But I'm getting ahead of myself a bit. Let's dive into the history of the team in the center of this epic moment: the Baltimore Colts.

CFL Week 6 Recap: Changing of the Guard
Week 6 definitely had quite a few twists and turns in the CFL season. The biggest twist was that the three-game week was originally supposed to start that Friday, but there was a huge delay. The air quality in Regina, Saskatchewan was absolutely horrendous, and the cause was a wildfire in the neighboring province of Manitoba. After hours of waiting, the delay reached a point where the game finally had to be postponed for early Saturday.

Recapping a Historic 2025 MLB All-Star Game
We all love the MLB All-Star Game, don't we? Baseball's game seems to stand out over the other leagues in many ways. For one, MLB is the only league whose All-Star Game takes place on a weeknight; the other three leagues have their games on the weekend--either on Saturday or Sunday. Secondly, MLB's All-Star Game is the only one out of the main four where the players wear their team uniforms, and as much as I love All-Star gear, it is nice to see that mixture of team uniforms and colors out there. And third, it's the only game that hasn't really changed formats, it's been American League vs National League forever.

"Beyond the Gates" Week 19 Review
So Beyond the Gates took the week between June 30 and July 4 off for reasons I still cannot figure out. Even so, I figured that the show would return with a huge bang after their strange hiatus. Boy, was that an understatement! So much craziness happened in this past week on the show, and most of it happened in the same episode!

A Spooky Siege
At only 20 years of age, Sylvie Hanson didn't expect to be the owner of a castle. It happened via tragic circumstances; it was passed down by her father, Sebastian Hanson, who passed on two months prior. The castle was known as Gladstone Manor, a quaint yet spooky domicile, but it was Sylvie's--lock, stock, and barrel.
