Finals Game Four: Business Picks Up
There's something in the air in both the Stanley Cup Final and the NBA Finals this year. This is why I love the month of June. Not only is it the first month of summer, but it's the month of champions, as two of the main four leagues award their trophies during the sixth month of the year. Usually, one seems to outdo the other, and nearly every year, it's the Cup that does it. But there's something different about this year. While the Cup Final rematch has delivered big time, the NBA Finals has also been quite delicious.

Villainess Review: Bobbie Burton (Diagnosis Murder)
I absolutely love Diagnosis Murder; the show is filled with amazing villainesses, some of whom I've already written about. In past years, reruns of the show aired on PAX-TV, but currently, Hallmark Movies & Mysteries has the reruns, as well as their streaming site, Hallmark+. I have a theory as to why the latter acquired the episodes: Dick Van Dyke. He's six months away from turning 100.

Stanley Cup Final Game Four: Eins, Zwei, Drai(saitl), Vier
In Game Three of the Stanley Cup Final, the Edmonton Oilers were absolutely punched in the mouth by the Florida Panthers--literally and figuratively. A 6-1 Panthers victory, the Oilers' first horrific performance of this year's playoffs since Game Two of Round 1. An argument could be made that the Oilers needed this. They needed a bad game to really focus and get back to basics. Would it work? Would the Oilers rebound from their horrible defeat?

The 1st Match for Evolution 2 Has Been Announced
We are just over a month away from the long overdue second Evolution event, which will take place on July 13 in Atlanta. And with that much time left, we already have our first match announcement for the big event. The NXT Women's Championship will be defended at Evolution 2. At the first Evolution in 2018, the NXT Women's Championship changed hands when Shayna Baszler won the title for the second time. In this go-around, it will be Jacy Jayne defending her recently won title.

Finals Game Three: Back and Forth Battle
June 16, 2000. That's the last time the NBA Finals hit the state of Indiana. Back then, it was Reggie Miller leading a team that consisted of, among other players, Rik Smits, Dale Davis, and Antonio Davis. The Pacers were up against the Shaq and Kobe-led Lakers that year, and in that game--Game Five of that year's Finals, the Pacers actually won it. However, that win only cut their series deficit in half, and in Game Six, the Lakers clinched the championship; the team's first since 1988 and their first of three straight in the Shaq and Kobe era.

A Deep Dive into "Tales from the Crypt"
Who remembers Tales from the Crypt? I sure as hell remember enjoying this series as a kid. Yeah, you read that right. I wasn't your typical elementary school aged TV viewer back in the 90s. Yes, I watched the kid friendly stuff, but I also dove in to horror very early. I was watching Pet Sematary by age five, Phantasm II and Child's Play by age six, and Tales from the Crypt caught my eye by the time I reached age nine. I do love this show and a lot of what comes with it, so let's take a deep dive into this amazing series.

CFL Week 1 Recap: Back in the Saddle
The Canadian Football League has returned! North American football has become quite interesting ever since the instillation of the XFL and USFL, now merged into the UFL, became part of the sports calendar. Pro football is now year-round, with the UFL coming in shortly after the Super Bowl's over. Once the UFL is set to crown their champion, that's when our Canadian brothers-in-arms come in with their larger field, their 12-man defenses, their rouges, and their three-down football. This is my 13th year watching the CFL, my 12th in play--remember, no 2020 season. Hard to believe that it was that long ago that I said to myself, "You know, I need to give this CFL thing a chance."

Stanley Cup Final Game Three: Around the Goal Horn
So far, the 2025 Stanley Cup Final, the rematch between the Edmonton Oilers and the Florida Panthers, has been quite legendary. Only two games played, but nine periods were featured. Game One needed overtime and Game Two needed double overtime, and after all the dust settled, it's a 1-1 Final--the first 1-1 Final in five years. The scene now shifts to Sunrise, Florida for the next two games, the very site where the Panthers won the Stanley Cup last June. With the series being 1-1, it is guaranteed that the Final will head back to Edmonton, but the series score will be determined in these next two games.

"Beyond the Gates" Week 15 Review
So, Week 15 really brought down the house... big time! We were treated to a lot of crazy developments, and the week ended with a long overdue public revelation that I had been begging to see happen for several weeks. Hard to believe that we're almost four months into Beyond the Gates, and this show just keeps getting more and more delicious.

Finals Game Two: Live and Learn
Game One of the NBA Finals saw the Oklahoma City Thunder on the verge of possibly beating down the Indiana Pacers and racking up yet another dominant win in this run. They were up by as much as 15 points, they were owning the game all night, and the Pacers didn't have the answers, until the fourth quarter happened. Indy chipped away at OKC's lead, bit by bit, until it was down to one possession. Finally, the masterpiece: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander turning the ball over, and it ends up in the hands of Tyrese Haliburton, and he does it again.

Reviewing a Hat Trick of Animated Stories with Manipulative Mothers-In-Law
So recently, I've been watching these animated stories on YouTube. Some of you know what I'm talking about. Basically it's similar to the "AITA" (Am I the A-Hole) stories that have been popping up on Reddit for the last several years, and it's also similar to those text stories that have been all over YouTube since the height of the COVID pandemic. The stories are told by animated characters, it's fiction stories (no way in hell are these real life stories, but they may be based on some incidents), and they've been popping up on YouTube in the last year or so.

Stanley Cup Final Game Two: That's Hockey, Baby!
To borrow a line from two-time WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels, "God help me, I love this stuff!" The 2025 Stanley Cup Final, a rematch of last year's Final, began with an overtime thriller that saw the Edmonton Oilers come back from down 3-1 to win it in overtime. Leon Draisaitl won it with 31 seconds left in the extra frame, allowing the Oilers to draw first blood in this year's Final. It was an absolutely amazing game, but even with how awesome hockey is, we would certainly not get this again, would we?
